LPDnD: Knocking on Heaven's Door

[Blackferne]

@ Trinal you twist the doorknob and it won't turn. Even as you apply a little extra elbow grease it won't budge.

[Jimer Lins]

"Well, it's good to be methodical, at any rate." Trinal examines the door, then moves to the window. What exactly does it look like out there? And one assumes there's another door to let us out to the island.

[Blackferne]

The window overlooks a few other buildings on what seems to be an island. There is also a small garden. The room you are in contains a door plus the locked door with the red illuminated bulb on it.

[Jimer Lins]

Unless someone objects, Trinal will walk to the other door and attempt to open it.

[Staris]

Stavis will look to Nicholas "Are we being judged as a group on the virtues or is there some way each individuals is being determined?"

[Blackferne]

"During your trials and training, you are each evaluated on your responses. We are not expecting a perfect moral compass, that is highly unlikely, and probably unnatural given your particular upbringings, but rather to make sure your individual compasses are more or less in the right direction. " Nicholas says to Stavis.

[Blackferne]

@Trinal you open the door and see a hallway with a long carpet on it. There are three other doors on the hallway and to the right is a stairway headed down.

[Jimer Lins]

I'm going to wait until the rest of the group is together and ready to move; I want us to stick together. Once I have a sense that we're all ready to go, I'll move down the hall and try the first door.

[Blackferne]

The hallway has two doors on each side. There is one on your side of the hall to your left. Let's call that Door #1. Across from that is Door #2. Across from you is #3. And to your right is stairwell.

[Jimer Lins]

Well, let's try Door #1, Monty.

[Blackferne]

Well, let's try Door #1, Monty.

Do you want to wait til a majority signify consent to your stick together plan? Or just go alone now?

[Jimer Lins]

I'm going to wait until we've at least had everyone able to acknowledge they've been part of the discussion; I don't want to advance the narrative too far if people haven't had a chance to participate.

[Dood]

Ham'mon is leaning over the table.

"The third riddle...it's a shoe or a boot."

He looks up at everyone at the door, and starts to walk over to them.

"I have no idea what the last one means."

[Furiel]

Tony will get up and join the others

"Could the ball on the table is more than just a signifier that the door is locked?"

[Jimer Lins]

"Interesting- but how does a bone work in that context? I like the idea of a watermelon; green rind, white inner rind, red inside, full of seeds. I supose it could be a pomegranate or other similar fruit- but whatever it is I'll lay odds we find it in that garden out there."

Ham'mon shrugs and walks through the door, humming some old tune about a thigh bone and an ankle bone.

[Jimer Lins]

[ooc- since it looks like we're largely on board, Trinal will go ahead and open door #1]

[Blackferne]

You open the door and see a bedroom. It has a canopy bed, an armoire, two end tables, a mirror, a window to the outside with the curtains half drawn.

[Jimer Lins]

"A bedroom, it seems." Trinal glances at the window, then walks to door #2 and opens it.

[Blackferne]

Another bedroom nearly identical to the first, though the window is oriented differently as it is on the other side of the building.

[Jimer Lins]

And door #3? I'm not bothering to search right now, just getting a sense of what's what.

[Blackferne]

Similar to the other bedrooms but this one has two smaller beds.

[Jimer Lins]

"I'm sensing a theme." Trinal nods to the stairs. "Shall we try downstairs then?"

[Whiteness]

"It seems to be our only option, we might as well head down."

[Jimer Lins]

"Lead on."
