Betrayal - avante en garde

[ You spill out of the elevator onto a balcony— the elevator is gone when you look back.
Flavor text.

You enter the Balcony. It's expansive. A pool drained dry suffocates in the night air; an engine that's meant to be circulating the water instead heaves and sputters but refuses to die. Dim lights meant for an ambient glow outline the crags of an artificial waterfall, now just jagged rocks. Lounge chairs and patio furniture circle the pool, cushioned to extend an invitation— stay.

Looking to the pool fills you with a sense of dread, but more than that, a gut-wrenching fascination. Though it isn't filled with water anymore, you know - somehow, you know - that was, is, the gravesite of the last person here before you. The knowledge is a thick feeling in the back of your throat like pressure from holding your breath underwater, and maybe you are holding your breath after all. At least, you're definitely aware of how your chest rises and falls, how easily it could stop doing that, how it feels like your heart could burst from oxygen deprivation at any moment. It's a dull feeling, vague; like something you crammed for on a test and aren't positive of it, it's tentative— you need to reach for it. In other words, easy to ignore while you have your wits about you, but an almost-uncomfortable presence that threatens to overwhelm you if you lose your sanity, or if you acquire enough damage.

Besides the empty pool sits a spear, pulsing with power. Exael's hologram twines her fingers through her pigtails, twisting them absently nearby as she watches you. If you have questions and she's not busy with hosting or another unit, she'll appear here to answer them.

A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the sanity goal (explore rooms) and your traitor goal (drown someone) as well as the item that you've been given (spear). 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: North. ]
calmthefoxdown: (Aaand there he goes.)

[that's cool, that's cool. more knives is always good.]

Hey. Sticking together this time or what?
calmthefoxdown: (To the peanut stand.)

[ Waves a hand. ]

You can probably maneuver around faster alone. We'll also probably find her easier if we split up.

[ugh.]

If you find her before I do, don't do anything stupid.

[that's my job, kthx.]
calmthefoxdown: (Aaand there he goes.)

I'll probably hang around the patio area and nearby, it'll be easier to deal with her there.

Good idea.

... I'll try heading to the basement again, but...

[well, Nemesis is here. hm.]
calmthefoxdown: (I had to crop this real small.)

I'll hang back a little to keep an eye on her. You go on ahead, you're our best chance of getting her.

[except Nemesis just basically ordered him to follow along...]

Guess we'll have to split the party a bit later.
calmthefoxdown: (Held eternally.)

We can't really split up until a few rooms down anyway, right? Let's get that far.

[shoots him a thumbs up]

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-08-04 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You're here, too?
calmthefoxdown: (Maybe you should not.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-08-04 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was here once already.

It kinda sucked.
unbr8kable: (up in smoke)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-08-04 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds about right.

[pauses]

...Taken anyone swimming?
calmthefoxdown: (You seem particularly dumb.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-08-04 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
No? I'm not sure if I can swim, honestly.
unbr8kable: (welp)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-08-04 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
That's kind of the point.

Anyway, I'm gonna go look around, I guess.

[if you wanna come or not come going unspoken]
calmthefoxdown: (Yeah maybe you should suck a d-)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-08-04 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
We can't really split up until a few rooms later, if nothing's changed since last time.
unbr8kable: (you know nothing jon snow)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-08-04 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that how it works? I only did this once and no one else was there.
calmthefoxdown: (I'm not paid enough for this shit.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-08-04 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I was with Raijuu, but we got split up because he decided to jump down a hole.
unbr8kable: (really now)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-08-04 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't sound like a good decision, but okay?
