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.]

[you know what they say—a bullet in the head is all it takes.

she falls to the ground, laying in a crumpled pile. there are no last words, probably because she believes her dragon god will help her.

he won't.

the room is silent, and it still smells like cinnamon apples.]

[Togo turns and walks away after that, heading back up the stairs. She wonders if that woman was all there was; her guns are still out in case that answer is 'no'.]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[thankfully it's quiet as you ascend the stairs. there's nobody coming, though you do have a familiar plant person waiting outside.]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[botamessiah]

[Togo blinks as she sees the plant person, stepping outside the tower.]

You waited for me?

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[it nods.

"I followed quietly. I didn't want to distract you... but then I heard a gunshot! What happened?"]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[botamessiah]

[She's not gonna lie.]

I killed the undead. I tried to reason with her, but she would not listen. I had no choice.

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[royalsubject]

["O-oh..."

it sounds distraught, but understandably so considering this is the topic of... well.

"...what was it like?"]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[botamessiah]

Unpleasant. I wish I didn't have to, but...

[It's not like it was a Vertex or anything. However, Togo is in Hero mode and that equates to being all business and such.]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[plant person shuffles its little feet awkwardly, glancing around

"I-I see... I never killed anyone before. Does that mean they're gone from the tree? Can I live there again?"]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[botamessiah]

Well, I need to remove the body fully, but yes. They're gone. You can live there again.

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[royalsubject]

["Oh... thank you! I wonder if I can start a family there."]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[botamessiah]

[Togo smiles.]

That sounds nice. I'm sure you'll be able to.

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[the plant person smiles.

"I will now. Um... thank you! Is there any way I can repay you?"]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[botamessiah]

[Togo shakes her head; as she does, she thinks she catches sight of an exit in the distance.]

You owe me nothing in return. However, I would like to have something to remember you and your people by.

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[that you do. meanwhile, plant person's eyes glitter. it reaches into the pocket nobody would ever guess it had, and pulls out a stone. one that looks a lot like a Leaf Stone from Pokemon. it offers it to you.

"Here. This has one of my baby leaves in it. It means a lot to me... but not too much that I can't give it to someone who helped me."]

Re: FLOWER ROOM

[botamessiah]

[Smiling, Togo nods as she takes the stone and tucks it away into her bag.]

Thank you. I will treasure it always. I hope your days with your family are peaceful ones. For now, I must go. More people need me.
