Title: Green Temple III
Post by: Hanako Tachibana on November 21, 2014, 05:36:09 PM
And you end up in a large dark space.  It reminds you of the ruins near the beginning of the Maze, but without the glowing cracks.  The walls are covered in strange runes and dull moss.  You aren't really sure what's keeping the moss alive.  Or why you can see.

Oh!  You're not alone!  All together, the people in this dark space are: Becca, Cory, Louise, and Holy.  Fancy meeting you all here!

"Oh!  Finally~ I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever find you two in here."

I blink. "Wait, what? How...eh?"

"Are you Really going to question the how of this gate?  After the weirdness of the last three?"

Cory opens and shuts his mouth.  "But...I thought you went...to the White City?" he says uncertainly.
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: DonQuixote on December 01, 2014, 12:56:53 AM
"You did," I add, equally confused. "The White City is definitely the place you went."

"Ahhh~"  Louise exclaimed in a mildly French manner.  "We did.  We had a great time of it, it was enjoyable once we got there.  We also explored the void a bit, went out to some of the dead pillars."  Louise frowns.  Her tone softens.  "We really need to succeed..."  She fingers the piece of paper in her pocket.  "We even found a fragment and met... a peculiar girl.  She was looking for Ana, I suppose since Ana isn't with you, they found each other.  We headed back to camp and had a brief chat with everyone- just checking in of course...  Ana.  No, you wouldn't know, nevermind."  Louise drops the subject. 

"Holy and I found a couple of fragments in here, did you two find anything?"

I scratch my nose. "Well, we met an adorable fluffy thing that stamped my cleavage?" I venture.
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: FelyxZephyr on December 03, 2014, 11:55:08 PM
"Is the stamp a fragment?"

Louise begins doing what she should have a while back and examines the room they are in more closely.  They were, after all, in the middle of the labyrinth.

The stamp is most certainly a fragment.  It resembles a paw-mark surrounded by a circle.  Its fairly cute; you can imagine a small child getting on on their hand for a fair.  Its a bit strange on a mature older woman's cleavage.

As for your surroundings, things looks more or less like what they are.  There doesn't seem to be anything hiding here.

Louise walks around the room looking for any ways to go further into the maze without passing through her own or Becca and Cory's gateway.
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: Hanako Tachibana on December 04, 2014, 12:09:37 AM
What gateways?  There's just wall behind you both.  That being said, there is a way to progress.  It looks pretty dark, though.  And they did call this place a labyrinth.  I think they did, at least.
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: FelyxZephyr on December 04, 2014, 02:32:00 PM
"Shall we?"  Louise leads the way forward
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: Dulcinea on December 05, 2014, 01:57:21 PM
The Knight pauses.  "Perhaps, my lady, it would be as well to first ascertain the kind of labyrinth we are about to embark upon.  If it is a labyrinth in the sense of a maze, rather than the original definition of the word, might I suggest using something to mark the path we have already trodden?"

"It's pretty much been a straight shot for me, but if we come to a fork, feel free to mark it in some way.  Remember, we're trying to make it to the center to find the Green Beast."
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: DonQuixote on December 07, 2014, 05:35:21 PM
"Yes, the Green Beast. Medusa." I raise an eyebrow. "That's a name that implies that we should have a plan of some sort."
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: FelyxZephyr on December 12, 2014, 02:30:40 AM
"Erm...  Well, the previous Beast told us that she would be helpful answering questions...  So I'm not worried too much.  I'll keep my eyes low just in case.  Unless you found a mirror shield fragment that you've been holding out on."  Louise adds the last bit on playfully, knowing that there is no way Becca could keep something THAT size in her cleavage.

probably.

"Are we in some kind of a rush?" Cory asks in confusion.  "I mean, surely there's no harm in taking precautions?"
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: FelyxZephyr on December 14, 2014, 12:41:14 AM
Louise stops in her tracks.  She gauges herself.  Her breathing is a little elevated.  She's a bit sweaty.  She thinks.  "Okay, you're right, I guess I still have some adrenaline pumping through me from the fight with the golemn...  And Sam isn't here anymore, so I should be more careful."

Louise reaches for Holy's hand.  "What preparations do you suggest we make before moving forward?"
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: Hanako Tachibana on December 14, 2014, 12:59:37 AM
Holy takes your hand and holds it gently.

"Your suggestion of a reflective surface had merit," the Knight ponders.  "And I still say that if we are in some kind of maze or labyrinth, it would be as well for us to come up with a scheme to ensure we do not backtrack."
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: FelyxZephyr on December 18, 2014, 02:18:02 AM
"Unfortunately, I doubt any of us has a mirror.  If I had my compact, I would have applied make up by now, but I'm fairly certain none of us has one.  And while Holly does have a rather large sword, I would refrain from exploring a helpful Beast's lair with weapons drawn."  Louise leans against a wall.  "As for backtracking, this dungeon seems to enjoy ensuring that you do not.  Or was your path not periodically closing off behind you?"
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: DonQuixote on December 22, 2014, 10:26:09 PM
"We, uh, just got walked in," I put in. "As much as it pains me to say it, though, we're probably going to want to rely on stealth. No random screaming, sort of thing. If she is actually Medusa, we...really want to know where she is either before or at the same time that she knows where we are. Even if she's helpful, it's...just a good idea."
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: Dulcinea on December 30, 2014, 08:49:09 PM
The Knight considers for a moment.  "What about the Knife?" he suggests.  "Clearly, we do not want to walk in brandishing a weapon, as Lady Louise says, but I see nothing wrong with holding one up.  Perhaps partially out of its sheathe in such a manner as to not be easily able to draw it.  Such a thing should not be threatening and should allow us to look around corners."
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: DonQuixote on January 01, 2015, 02:15:44 PM
I give Coryknight a confused look. "How does a knife let you look around corners? Do you think you can cut your line of sight and--"

My brain catches up to my mouth at this point. "Oh, right. Smooth, polished metal."

"I'm not sure if that was his intent Becca...  But I'm not sure.  I still think that it may state the wrong intention.  Unless you wish to fight with the Green Beast, we should not proceed with weapons out.  Holy, does this area affect your powers enough that you wouldn't be able to warn us if we were near the Green Beast?"
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: Hanako Tachibana on January 03, 2015, 02:07:25 AM
Holy: It's hard.
Holy: It is like I'm wearing a blindfold.
Holy: I will do my best.

"Ahh, I assumed there would be some sort of inhibitor in here...  This whole maze has been difficult.  Do not strain yourself Holy"
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: Hanako Tachibana on January 03, 2015, 02:12:24 AM
Holy: Thank you.

"wouldn't it also work if we just looked at the floor as we walked?"  Louise began edging towards the passageway
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: DonQuixote on January 14, 2015, 12:17:51 AM
"Louise? Kind of done with your shit over here. When I want to go in and do something, it's reckless. When you want to, it's because there's clearly no danger. When I want to analyze the situation and proceed with caution, I'm being senselessly paranoid. When you want to, it's because you're being tactical. So, yeah, fuck you. You got me killed, and somehow you still know how to proceed in this situation because...why, exactly?"

I give her the finger.

"You do not make decisions for me. We talk until we reach a consensus. Now, get your ass back over here. It doesn't have to be a knife. The fact that you don't think it should be a knife does not mean we can't find some kind of reflective object."

Post by: DonQuixote on January 14, 2015, 12:28:44 AM
I attempt to give the finger to this mysterious voice. However, since I'm unaware of its source, I setting for flipping off the ceiling. God probably did something to deserve it.
Title: Re: Green Temple III

You turn around.  She is indeed over there.

Louise flushes red, ready to snap back, but the voice interrupts her.  She turns, regarding the direction of the voice.  "Is that You, Green Beast?  I'd like to ask to settle a dispute we seem to be  having.  Is it safe to proceed with our eyes open?"
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: DonQuixote on January 14, 2015, 12:33:30 AM
I make a mental note to resume the conversation with Louise later. She does not get to hide behind monsters and try to get them to fight her battles for her.

"Okay, so what's the gimmick this time?" I ask.
Title: Re: Green Temple III
Post by: Hanako Tachibana on January 14, 2015, 12:40:16 AM
???: Do you really think your eyes are open?  Do you really think your eyes are closed?
???: That's funny~  It really is~

???: As for gimmicks, its a maze, isn't it?  You're supposed to walk it, seeking the end.
???: Standing still is a solution too, though~  Whether you move or not move, that isn't really my problem~
???: It isn't my world at risk, after all.

???: But a friend of yours asked me for a favor.
???: So I decided to move things forward for you~

???: Here I am, the Beast at the center of the maze!
???: The Medusa who is willing and ready to answer your questions!
Medusa: So ask away~
