Taisho Roman Revolution

[ You spill out of the elevator into a Pentagram Chamber— the elevator is gone when you look back.

It's a Pentagram Chamber. As in, it is a chamber with the markings of a pentagram - or several pentagrams, rather. One takes up the whole wall, unrecognizable runes drawn upon it in what looks like blood, with an accompanying circle. The second, matching circle sits on the ground, where a rock slab sits in the middle. Put two and two together: clearly, the ground's circle is where you put the sacrifice in, and the wall circle's where whatever you summoned comes. . . out. Probably.

There's a shovel in this room, sitting in the corner; dirt tracks from the chamber to the singular entrance and exit.

This room is hot. It’s disgustingly hot. The taste of iron lingers in your mouth even though it has become completely dry. You try to catch your breath in that thick, sticky air that permeates the room, but every gasp only brings a gurgling sensation in your throat. You desire to reach out, but you feel as if you cannot move. .

You feel lonely. As you look around, you swear you catch glimpses of others around you. If you lose your sanity, or are damaged too far, the sensation will overwhelm you.

A crystal ball sits on the rock slab.

A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the sanity goal (explore rooms) and your traitor goal (drink the blood of your victim, before or after killing them) as well as the item that you've been given (crystal ball). It looks like nothing is stopping you from committing the traitor goal even while you're sane, if you wish to.

There is one exit: East. ]

Fox...

[ Her grip tightens on him. ]

It... it's okay. Look, we're all together again now. It'll be okay.

[nods]

I did not mean to worry you. I am... I missed you.
sunflowering: (I'm okay really)

[ Squeeze Squeeze Squeeze. ]

I missed you too. Taisho isn't the same if you aren't there. But more importantly, you're hurt...

[squeezes back]

It is not as bad as it looks. The bleeding has mostly stopped... but I will need to see a healer once this is all over. For now, I think I just need to take care that it does not become infected.

More importantly... what happened to you?
sunflowering: (Never know what might happen next)

[ She shifts back, lifting a hand up to one of his cheeks. ]

You're acting strong, but...

I'm a vampire, you know. I know... that blood loss can affect a person.

[ After a moment she sighs though and pulls back, her eyes a faint red front the scent of the blood that is strong among all of them. ]

This last time it was Baritones. We... Zero, Skylark and I were all attacked. Eichi-san suddenly came at us, and the rest of his unit was quick to defend him and follow suit, and so in the end...

[ He can probably guess that a battle took place. ]

Before that though Zero and I had been attacked by Avante, too.

[there is an imperceptible flicker in fox's eyes, a twist of his mouth when kaguya mentions eichi, but he tries to keep it subtle*

*it's not a very good attempt at subtlety]

... I see. So it's begun... we must stay on our guard, then.

We should arm ourselves.

I don't want to be caught defenseless again.

That is not a bad idea, although I apologize in advance for my slow pace.

[ Shaking her head ]

Don't apologize.

[ . . . ]

Which monster did this to you...?

[personal profile] artisticliberty 2019-09-19 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ah yes. this question.

he takes a deep breath and lets it out]

... I cannot tell you. I am sorry, Kaguya.
sunflowering: (I've severed this heavy burden)

[ Blinks... ]

What do you mean you can't tell me? If someone's going to try and hurt you like this again here, then we absolutely should show them that they aren't allowed to spill blood without their own getting shed.

[oh you vampires and your blood slang]

Please believe me... if I could tell you, I would. But I must ask that you put the matter to rest, for now. It is enough for me to be back with all of you.
