Relatively speaking.

I take it you're—returning, then.

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

That's right. I was the second most senior member of the unit before I left. Captain Chivalry Luminosity, the Radiant Knight.

Well, the "Captain" was mostly a formality. I'm not Shogun or Intensity, but it's something I got called anyway.

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

Well, I'm not one for formality, so Chivalry. Call me Velleity. Or Amelia, I guess; I don't really care.

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

You remembered your name already?

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

Always did. The memory thing's one problem I don't have, at least.

...you don't know yours?

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

The Radiant Knight's a title from home, but that's all I've remembered anyone calling me - um, I'm a competition knight, so the title's all that really gets used for marketing reaons.

[ ??marketing reasons?? ]

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

Sports, huh.

Well—want a lantern? Goes with your name, I guess.

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

Oh, sure! They took my sword and armour and our arts so I've been feeling pretty unsteady. Light'll help a lot!

[ GIVE LIGHT ]

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

Well—

...happy to help. There's matches, too, if you need one—though there's not too many.

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

Causality said you found some candles, so I was going to use one to try to light them!

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

Right—by the south wall, he said. Here. Suppose I'll come along to watch.

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

Got it!

[ dizzily stumbling along to the south to go LIGHT SOME CANDLES ]

Re: 1/2

[idolpro]

[ There's the subtle sound of a click, to the direction of west. . . ]

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

See! Light always shows you the way forward!

[ GOING WEST ]

Re: 1/2

[idolpro]

The door is unlocked for you, which means you can walk right in—! . . . right into a gas cloud.

Vallumi and everyone else walking into the room will find themselves breathing in something most certainly chemical and painful, exhibiting the following symptoms:

• Coughing fits
  
• Blindness/eye irritation
  
• Difficulty breathing
  
• Insatiable itchiness

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

[ THIS IS NOT THE WAY ]

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

[ HAULING HER BACK OUT OF THE GAS CLOUD ]

What was that?

Re: 1/2

[numberedays]

[Looks around and everyone is gathered by an open door??? oh hm that looks bad.]

What happened?!

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

Lighting the candles got the door open, but it's got something bad outside. No idea what.

Re: 1/2

[numberedays]

We lit the candles?

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

Chivalry there lit all of them, yeah—

[ hm

well it's probably fine? if there's something up with him he'll probably say so right ]

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

[ COUGHING ]

A [WHEEZE] TRAP

Re: 1/2

[trainphreaking]

Chemical...?

Damn. Well, it seems like it's the only way out, but—of course this place only has a blood fountain.

Re: 1/2

[onemoreknight]

Pr..etty sure it's chlorine...? ...Don't think...we're getting through. Without re...rebreathers.

Candles...definitely right, though. Wouldn't bother with a mechanism like that if it just led to a dead end.

[ cough cough ]

More efficient ways to kill someone, mechanically. Makes for a bad story, too. Put one out and see if it changes?
