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.

So you're a fight maniac.

[sangreine]

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

[bondsofsuffering]

Talk about reckless.

[sangreine]

Don't you mean heroic?

[bondsofsuffering]

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?

[sangreine]

Is that what you would do? Figure out how best to help someone and then do it?

[bondsofsuffering]

Maybe.

Why? Are you gettin' that curious about a stranger?

[sangreine]

I don't just save people for fun, I actually like them. So I like learning about them.

[bondsofsuffering]

...

You're makin' it kinda sound like I'm just an interestin' specimen for ya...

[sangreine]

You're interesting yes, but not in the same way. I'm not trying to get some result out of this, it's just a conversation.

[bondsofsuffering]

Ehhh...

Maybe you'd have better luck with someone else?

[sangreine]

As ways to get rid of someone go, I guess that's as good a line as any.

[bondsofsuffering]

Considerin' your criteria, I don't think I'm the kinda guy you're lookin' to talk to.

[sangreine]

If you say so!

[bondsofsuffering]

I know so.

[Because he's not human.]

[sangreine]

[ So what? Join the club. ]

Why not, though? You seem pretty confident about it.

[bondsofsuffering]

I'm afraid that's for me to know and you to guess ♫

[sangreine]

Ooh, okay. Are youuuuuuuu... [ hmmm ]

Some sort of maniac killer? [ she seems nothing not at all alarmed by the prospect ]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Mock insulted!]

You seriously think I'm that kinda guy?!

[sangreine]

How would I know what kind of guy to think you are when you won't tell me anything?

[bondsofsuffering]

Bein' a little mysterious doesn't make a guy a mass murderer!

[sangreine]

I can guess something else, but you haven't actually said no yet.

[bondsofsuffering]

When I said guess, I mostly meant it on your own time.

[sangreine]

[ She looks irritated for a split second and her eyes flash a glowing red. ]

So when you said guess, you really meant never get any answers. Then just say that.

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, we don't always get the things we want. Whether that's explanations, or explanations of explanations/
