Amnesplora: Liminal Space

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.

I dunno, I'm thinkin' it's pretty normal not to wanna sacrifice yourself for some people you barely even know.

Normal and cynical don't have to be... what's the phrase for when two things aren't always separate? Mutual-something.

Mutually exclusive. But if it's not that, why are you insistin' I'm a cynic?

I mean, believing that most people would choose their own self-interest over helping someone is pretty much the definition of cynical, isn't it? But if I got it wrong, I don't mind being corrected.

It's more of a distinction between the brave heroes and the normal populace, ain't it?

Heroes are considered special 'cause that's not how most people'd behave. They're the ones with the guts to do somethin' like that.

If you say so. But for me personally, I don't think it's anything special, I didn't even think about it either time. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a good fight or something.

So you're a fight maniac.

I said maybe. It was an example someone else gave as to why they jumped in after one of their companions.

Talk about reckless.

Don't you mean heroic?

Just reckless. Isn't it more heroic to figure out what the situation is and how best to help rather'n potentially gettin' yourself killed for no reason?
