Alma's unconscious game

[imaginemeandyuu]

((Alma's unconscious game goes here! I have put up a discussion plurk here since I know a bunch of the folks playing it don't use irc, any questions etc can go there. If for some reason you don't have access, let me know.

Since a large part of this unconscious is puzzle-based, if you need to leave and come back later: 1) you can handwave that you went along with the group or 2) if you want to explore everything yourself still, feel free to assume your character wandered off/back to check something (etc) -- but note that when you come back, you'll find whatever puzzles have since been 'solved' will remain 'solved'. It won't reset, so any paths that are opened or anything like that will stay that way.

That said, there are multiple things to do here, and changes still impact things, so if you oocly have to leave and come back, and when you do everything seems 'done', there are at least still things to look at and possibly multiple paths which you might want to do something about, so don't feel discouraged from starting back in after other people have opened doors or w/e)).

It's fine just leave it.

[outofthemud]

I am! [Turns it over and sets it back on the bed.

Turns and immediately following the fairy lights to the trap door, pulling on the strands going into it.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

Pulled tight, they aren't budging.

[besomeothername]

You sure you want to break this room!?

[outofthemud]

I'm not breaking anything!

--Go look in the other room! [Shoves him.]

[besomeothername]

[Hell no. That room is scary! Coming right back]

The chains come off if you figure out the puzzle.

[outofthemud]

So go figure it out. [GRABS HIM BY THE SHIRT TO START SHOVING HIM BACK.]

[besomeothername]

[Flailing]

Hey!

[outofthemud]

[Going to practically throw him into the left room if he can.]

[outofthemud]

[Okay now that he's flung Lavi out of the room, trying to see where those fairy lights are coming from.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

It's like they're growing out of the walls!

[outofthemud]

[... Do they break the walls??] Why did you have to make this difficult?!

[imaginemeandyuu]

It's more like a hair growing from skin than like how a real plant would break through a real wall. And I'm sorry that sounds sort of grotesque putting it into words.

[hallucinogenetic]

What the fuck do we do with this.

[outofthemud]

Same think we did last time?

[hallucinogenetic]

. . . I don't know if that's a good idea.

[outofthemud]

They don't lead into anything but the walls.

[hallucinogenetic]

And the bed.

[. . . running his hand along one of the strings of lights]

[imaginemeandyuu]

It's firm and strong, and warm under his touch. You get a sense of invitation.

[outofthemud]

[Watches his hand for a moment before looking between the bed and the swords, for anything that immediately sticks out.]

[hallucinogenetic]

[invi . . . tation . . .]

[n-not saying anything, just also looking around]

[imaginemeandyuu]

Nothing else seems to immediately stick out.

[outofthemud]

[Settles on going over to check around the bed, nudging the draping lights out of his way as needed.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

They are easily pushed back, curtain-style, letting out a sweet scent that still doesn't cover the musk of the overall room.

There are a pair of bedside drawers on either side of the bed, and the bed itself is unmade, but there doesn't seem to be anything underneath it or anything.

[outofthemud]

[Opens one of the drawers.]
