Amnesplora: Liminal Space

[idolpro]

Wherever you are in the house, whatever you may have been doing right in that moment

You hear a chime, like a clock sounding the hour. Has it only been that long? No, it can't have been, it must've been longer ... right? Oh well. You're out of time, and now you're here.

Here is a liminal space. It's like a washed out version of the Entrance Hall, so big and fancy, with its high vaulted ceilings and polished oakwood floors, intricate detailing, and the ornate front door. Everything else is shrouded by fog. You can try to find the other doors, you can try to find the foyer, but ... they're not there? Walk more than a minute into the fog and you'll find yourself right back where you started.

Um... is it your birthday? Did you get the magic cake too?

[ Her face, arm, and ankle are bleeding all over the place but she seems unconcerned. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Magic cake? No, I-

[ WAIT. ]

More importantly than that, you look as though you are in rough shape! Please sit down. I have something that might help-

[ BRINGING OUT THE SALVE. ]

[sangreine]

Oh, the salve from the fridge? It only works on burns, not the gashes. I'm okay. [ she is not, but seems really unaffected for whatever reason. ] I beat the bat and the spider that stole my knife, in the end. The fire monster, that was really trouble.

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . That all sounds like so much. But are you sure? Please allow me to try.

[ Magic properties allow it to heal (1) wound, kinda! Totally heals a minor wound, moderately helps a moderate wound, and takes the edge off a major one. ]

[sangreine]

Please don't waste it. Someone might need it. [ Clearly she doesn't need healing, psssht. ]

Besides, I have my own. [ Pulls out her own bottle of salve, which is unused -- it seems weird except her injuries and the salve are from different versions of her. ] See?

[heavyliesthecrown]

It... it very clearly looks as though you need it right now, though? You are the only one I see in such terrible shape! What exactly happened??

[sangreine]

I didn't have any weapons except my hands and teeth, so that's what I used. But it gave them a lot of chances to attack my face and hands. The ankle, that was just bad luck.

It's fine, really. Ada bandaged me up. [ there are some strips of towels which are soaked with blood wrapped around her arm and leg, her face is just bleeding freely. ] And given the creep that owns this place, there might be more of us showing up at some point.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Will you please take a seat and at least indulge me for a moment? You say that you are fine, but your physical state very much is in contrast to your words.

[sangreine]

I mean, I can sit down if you want... [ she sits down on the floor ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Very good. Thank you. I am really quite concerned but all of this, actually.

[ PULLING OUT. Some rubber gloves from the pocket of the jacket he stole. ]

Will you please allow me to at least apply a little bit of salve to your facial injury? I will not have any peace of mind until I know that it has at least been looked at.

[sangreine]

Ack! Don't use those gloves for medical care, they're the only thing that works on the elevator!

[ Not that they can access it right now, but priorities! ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Elevator? I truly do not understand. But right now, this is more important?

[sangreine]

Just trust me, don't use the gloves. If it's that important to you then you can use the medicine, but we might need those gloves if the fog clears.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I... do not really understand, but I shall heed your advice for now. Please, though, take care of yourself. I am worried seeing someone in such a terrible state.

[sangreine]

Oh, is that all? Then just don't worry. I'm fine. [ is she really? (No, but her instincts tell her she has nothing to worry about.) ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

I... I do not believe it works like that.

[sangreine]

Oh. Well...

Do it anyway!

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Did your head get rattled when you were attacked?

[sangreine]

Of course. What a question to ask of someone missing half their face.

[ Because he's the unreasonable one, here ]
