Who: Everyone
When: Day 5, bright and early in the morning
Where: Labyrinth!
What: A daring labyrinth

[you somehow land into this labyrinth with a hard thud, sending clouds of dust flying everywhere. what you're in now is a stone room that has a flickering torch placed on each wall. it smells a bit dingy in here, like what one might picture an actual labyrinth or dungeon to smell like.

there doesn't actually seem to be much worth investigating in this room, aside from a sign and three old, wooden doors before you. the sign reads:

"If you risk it all, you gain it all. If you risk nothing, you gain nothing."

somehow, very inexplicably so, you get the strange sense that the riskier you play, the better the prize.]

[ Royal slip up, har har. But he's grateful that she hadn't noticed him and quite honestly took his mess up as a joke. Though, to be fair, on some level he might have agreed with the mysterious lady.

Just in case they will need a way out, he'll start scooting back some as well as keeping an eye out for any exits down in this room here. ]

[it seems that the only exit from back there is the staircase again. and the only other exit aside from that is, oddly, the small window—large enough to narrowly fit a single person through if that's the kind of thing you're keeping check on.

the woman seems at ease, idly wiping down the counters, occasionally checking back at the oven's timer—she really doesn't want to keep you waiting, and she'd rather not waste any time...

"I wonder if I'll have enough pie then!" she laughs... then forces out a sigh. "Well, I've been alone since my family left me a couple hundred years ago. They were inspecting some... Oh, I don't know. They were inspecting something out there. Afraid I haven't seen them since."]

Only time will tell.

[ The woman seems pleasant, even with how on edge his queen is. So, he'll keep up with the chatter for now. ]

You don't know what they were inspecting? Or where at all?

[ The hundreds of years is also distressing... ]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[queenspade]

[ Hundreds of years is more than distressing it's concerning.

The queen is definitely paying attention to their routes and well that window is not going to be an option. The best escape for them, if needed, will be on this narrow spiraling staircase and he sure does know how messy that'll be if they need to hurry up it. ]

[she shakes her head, and turns to face them—well, him—again. as she speaks this time, though her expression is very gentle, it somehow becomes evident that she's missing a tongue.

"Something about going out to take care of this... oh, it might have been a creature? I'm not one hundred percent certain, it's been so long..."]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[kingspade]

[ oh. well. that sure is a thing... ]

A creature, hm? And what exactly are you to live this long?

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[queenspade]

[ That sure is a thing and a thing that he isn't going to be missing and instead will just be huddling closer to his king and gently tugging. Maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea to stick around here much longer..?

But at the same time he's....admittedly curious. ]
