Bomb Game: LiliS edition







[ you open your eyes to find yourself in a room that might look familiar if you just so happened to be a certified zombie survivalist. however, if you were lucky enough to avoid the zombie meet & greet, then welcome to the dankest heckhole in tokyo-f. ]

[ the overhead lights flicker often enough to instantly grind your gears, while simultaneously doing next to nothing to illuminate the dilapidated little room. though a chorus of moans and groans rise from outside, all the doors and windows are securely barricaded, making the shambling monsters a non-issue... though it's possible their existence alone may put you on edge. ]

[ or maybe that's the -fsssst- sound, a subtle hissing coming from what could have passed for fire sprinklers. for the duration of the game a colorless and odorless gas is going to be filling the room, one that clouds judgements and exacerbates anxiety. but, hey!, that's what the janky table and busted chairs in the corner of the room featuring cold tea and dry biscuits is for - a carefully curated space for you and yours to kick back, relax, and KEEP TALKING. ]

[ the center of the room is where the main event sits, a BOMB, with several thick cords snaking out from it connecting to a bunch of different buttons. the entire thing is housed in an unbreakable glass cube, with only the buttons in reach of your grubby hands. a tv screen is suspended overhead, currently displaying the rules & winning conditions, but that's all about to change... ]

[ in the meantime feel free to enjoy a particularly messy wall, one stained with all sorts of things from the last bunch that tried and failed to win, ew! ]

[ Well, he sure did immediately attempt to Juniper Tree, because of course he did. Stupid power-off games. ]

Don't worry, it's only at the risk of our lives. [ Clearly not actually blase about this ] No big deal.

[ CLEARING HIS THROAT not because he was about to laugh or anything ]

The lower lines, if you please. I can't quite pronounce them.

...you sure about that?

[ Because yeah, the lower line on this clue-bomb-thing is not. Legible to him. ]

Hey, not bad! I think that's pretty close.

Too bad it's not a language we know. Clearly a cipher.

The highlighted letter is the third one in each line.

Maybe it's as simple as count forwards or backwards three letters from the one given to see if it forms a word? Counting backwards three letters would make the top word "Flower" which makes sense for our unit.

[ Lipquirk. ]

Not quite what I meant.

[ ...but also eyeing you. ]

You okay? This might be a rough one.

[ yeah sure simple ]

...it makes which word flower?

[ Look, he tried, but he doesn't even see a word with an 'f' in it in the clue or on the wall or— ]

Sensible. Then we can use it as a cipher and extrapolate from there.

[Taking a paper to write stuff down! I = f, O = l, R = o, Z = w, H = e, U = r, L = i, Y = v, V = s...]
