☆ZRAEL

[ Minus your missing unitmate, you emerge in this room. There's enough room for your whole team to crowd into a booth, and discuss and speculate on your missing unitmate's predicament. After all, the rules displaying on your phone has just informed you that it's up to you to figure out what happened to them, and their fate hangs in the balance of just how well you can figure it out in time.

A little hourglass in the center of the table informs you of each ten minutes that passes. It sits next to a "menu"-- a list of 36 possible terrible things, three of which are happening to your unitmate, right now. ]

What's something useful to know about the threat you'd most like to avoid?

[ ........ ]

[ you know what. fine. ]

So is it the animal that's important?

Maybe it really is the wolf.

Is she the type to make that kind of connection?

Man, I have no idea.

[...]

Wait, she's a cat. So maybe the lion's supposed to represent her?

Then what does the woman represent?

She's in chains, so confinement? Maybe?

It's as good a guess as any we've had so far.

It was right under our noses the whole time...

Or not.

Well, if it's not the animal, is it the restraint that matters? Cage, maybe?

That could be it. Maybe.

Or... if the chain's around her neck, could be suffocation, too...

She has no freaking idea what a wolf is.

I bet it's wolves.

...Not... two words? Prolonged confinement in a cage? Suffocation? Starvation? Botched beheading?

...I guess that last one is also two words.

It's the same picture, but just 'cause she reused it doesn't necessarily mean she's referring to the two-word threat, right?

No, but it also doesn't mean it doesn't.

[insights coming out left and right here]

. . .

I guess we could just ask.

Ask what?

"How many words is the one you most want to avoid?" Then if she sends the same picture again, it's probably the first one we asked about...

And if it's not, we still have the number of words. That works.
