FiN & Zrael amnesplora

[idolpro]

You awaken slowly, laying in the middle of a cold, hard stone floor … and realise that you have absolutely no idea where you are, how you got here, and who any of these people are.

Some of you may also be wondering who you are, too. Hm. That's probably concerning.

START: Pentagram Room

[idolpro]

There's something just a little creepy about this room. Maybe it's the amnesia? Or maybe it's got something to do with the huge chalk pentagram you woke up in the middle of. The pentagram is surrounded by a ring of twenty eight candles in black and gold banana-shaped candleholders. The flames send the shadows in the otherwise dark room dancing ominously.

There's a wooden door to the East. For now, it's locked; there's nothing you can do to make it budge.

CHASM

[idolpro]

You enter a room split in two by a huge, jagged Chasm, spanned by the (very) rickety old remains of what (probably) used to be a wooden bridge. Do you have a head for heights and a daring heart? Because you might need both, if you're going to get across this.

Something chitters softly in the darkness way, way up above.

There's one door to the West side, and one to the East.

Anyone attempting to cross needs to roll 1D10.

[trainphreaking]

[ intriguing

squints upward ]

What's up there...?

[ is there like a rock somewhere ]

Re: CHASM

[sangreine]

[ Oh, look! Probably she can see all sorts of things from the middle of the bridge, it's not like it's dangerous because she wrongly thinks she has her canon abilities! ]

[ Onto the bridge then! Trying vaguely to look around and see what there is to see, but if she gets across then cool. Roll is 10 ]

BASEMENT LANDING

[idolpro]

You enter the Basement Landing.

There's not much here except … coal. Piles upon piles upon piles of coal, the floor caked in a thick coating of ash and soot. It's spectacularly filthy.

There are doors to the North, South, and West, and … a set of closed elevator doors? to the East.

Re: BASEMENT LANDING

[sangreine]

[ AND NOW exploring the elevators! This time with blood dripping everywhere, as one does. She'll try to open the doors, poke buttons if there are any, etc. ]

Re: BASEMENT LANDING

[sangreine]

[ Going for the NORTH door, why not! ]

THE OFFICE

[idolpro]

You enter the Office. There is a desk strewn with stuff: a haphazard pile of notebooks, a few newspaper clippings, a half completed crossword puzzle, and a sudoku grid that was clearly filled in with pencil, failed spectacularly, and then erased to try again.

You'll also find a coffee mug filled with frigidly cold black coffee … and another one, almost empty. And another one, half full. And another one; two big gulps would've finished it off. A mostly full bag of gummy bears. A black robe flung over the back of the spinny office chair, with a pair of rubber gloves hanging out of the pocket.

Against one wall is a counter with a kettle, a pot of coffee grounds and a sink. Beneath the counter is a fridge.

There is one door.

Re: THE OFFICE

[sangreine]

[ Picking up the robe with the gloves and also the bag of gummy bears to bring to the British lady ]

Re: THE OFFICE

[trainphreaking]

[ okay. great. this feels...

...normal? she's going to sort through the papers on the desk, in case any of them happen to have a combination on them. ]

ELEVATOR

[idolpro]

You enter the Elevator, which is a little on the cramped side. Or rather, a lot on the cramped side. It smells strongly of damp.

To the left of the door is the control panel:
Basement
Ground Floor

Re: ELEVATOR

[trainphreaking]

[ YEEHAW GROUND FLOOR HERE WE GO ]

ENTRANCE HALL

[idolpro]

You are in the Entrance Hall. It's big and fancy, with high vaulted ceilings, polished oakwood flooring, lots of intricate detailing here, there, and everywhere. A huge chandelier provides decent lighting.

To the South is the front door, a solid work of wood and iron, with four keyholes. It is very much locked and completely impassable no matter how hard you try. To the left of this door is a set of coat hooks, all empty, and an umbrella stand, which is not empty. To the East is a door, to the North is the Foyer, and to the West is the elevator.

Re: ENTRANCE HALL

[trainphreaking]

...well, clearly we've got to find four keys to get out of here, then. Easy enough.

[ she's going to go look at the umbrella stand. any secret keys here ]

Re: ENTRANCE HALL

[sangreine]

[ She was going to poke the umbrella stand but FINE THEN ]

[ She goes to the middle of the room and spins a few times and ends up facing the East door, so she goes to that. Anything shiny over here? If not, trying to open the door. ]

Re: ENTRANCE HALL

[trainphreaking]

[ crispy

annoyed ]

...all right are there any more places we haven't looked.

GYMNASIUM

[idolpro]

You enter the Gymnasium.

One half of the floorspace is dominated by a sizable swimming pool, filled with clean, warm (chlorinated, of course) water. The second half has tread machines, stationary cycles, a rack of weights, and a set of three lockers.

There is a door to the West and a door to the North.

Re: GYMNASIUM

[sangreine]

[ Hmm she thinks better of diving into the water and staining it with blood. Instead, looking at the lockers and trying to open them. ]

FOYER

[idolpro]

You enter the Foyer. Tucked into an alcove is a statue of a boy and girl trading whispers.

There is one door to the East, and one door to the West.

There is a staircase through an open archway to the North and the Entrance Hall is open to the South.

Re: FOYER

[trainphreaking]

[ hm. let's look at THE STATUE. is there anything weird about it ]

KITCHEN

[idolpro]

You enter the Kitchen, which is shiny and chrome. It's ultra modern. There's a fridge freezer, drawers filled with cutlery and plates — everything you could want, unless you want sharp knives — and six large larder-style cupboards. The space is otherwise dominated by a huge range oven and stove, upon which there is an oversized stockpot.

There is a door to the West and a door to the South.

EVENT

[idolpro]

Out of nowhere comes a sudden rain of plaster and debris from above! You're pelted, but manage to avoid being buried. You'll have some bruises at worst.

Re: KITCHEN

[trainphreaking]

...ugh.

[ well, she's going to go check in the stockpot. is it empty or full ]

STORE ROOM

[idolpro]

You enter the Store Room. It's kinda dusty in here, albeit nowhere near as bad as the Landing you just came from. And, honestly? Despite the name, there's not a whole lot in here. Sitting on top of three old wooden crates are three potted plants: a cactus, a tomato plant, and a short, thick blue stalk. The latter wiggles vaguely. Set into the back wall is a grand old mirror with an ornate golden frame.

The only door is the one you came through.

Re: STORE ROOM

[trainphreaking]

[ ...huh ]

...well, I'm going to go check that office, then.
