Bodyswap at the House on the Hill: Liminal Space

Wherever you are in the house, whatever you may have been doing right in that moment

You hear a chime, like a clock sounding the hour. Has it only been that long? No, it can't have been, it must've been longer ... right? Oh well. You're out of time, and now you're here.

Here is a liminal space. It's like a washed out version of the Entrance Hall, so big and fancy, with its high vaulted ceilings and polished oakwood floors, intricate detailing, and the ornate front door. Everything else is shrouded by fog. You can try to find the other doors, you can try to find the foyer, but ... they're not there? Walk more than a minute into the fog and you'll find yourself right back where you started.

[Arriving with one key, some coal, carrot, chalk, gloves, and some medicinal smelling salve somewhere on his person.]

OOF!

[Falling flat on his face, wearing a blue outfit, with blue hair, and a bunch of water splashing around him and some mild burns because step one had been to HYPERBOIL WATER.]

[May just lay here for a minute because sure got pulled away from a water monster.]

Getting. This dumb boy. Another arm.
gingerdiligence: (eyeroll)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well. That is one way to escape the monster.

[Looking around the room.]

I presume the teleportation was not your doing?
magicalgirladjacent: (Why anything)

[personal profile] magicalgirladjacent 2020-03-27 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
....no, I don't think so. I switched to a more versatile element.
gingerdiligence: (eyeroll)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
And there are other who are not part of our group here as well. It is likely that whoever brought us to this place is also responsible for... rescuing us from the monster. [Said like she's expecting something worse to show up at any moment.]
magicalgirladjacent: (SIGH)

[personal profile] magicalgirladjacent 2020-03-27 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Probably took too long for the trial runner.

[Sitting up and ugh, all wet now.]

[And glowing from a pocket.]
gingerdiligence: (indignant)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
But what is he impatient for...? Our escape or our completing the warlocks' ritual? [More cheery thoughts!]

[And noticing the pocket glow.]

We do seem to have found something of importance. Can you see what it is?
magicalgirladjacent: (Hmm)

[personal profile] magicalgirladjacent 2020-03-27 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of trials seem to have time limits.

Huh? Oh... [Shifting through his pocket, pulling out a few things until the key.]

[There's a pause, looking at the key, then looking around and then focusing on the door.] My body isn't here yet and there's three doors.

I'm guessing everyone had to find one key.
gingerdiligence: (Default)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Frownnnn]

If our goal was only to find the key, why were we not brought here as soon as we found it?
magicalgirladjacent: (Hmm)

[personal profile] magicalgirladjacent 2020-03-27 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
It might have been we cleared things for others. Or have things of importance.

I still have everything we found, not just the key.

[ This is clearly the best time to rap fists repeatedly against the door. ]

Not this again!
gingerdiligence: (ugh)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't mind this girl circling you and checking you out, she's just looking for injuries. For her part, other than being rather sooty, she's visibly intact.]
bestbrothernever: (uncertainty)

[personal profile] bestbrothernever 2020-03-27 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looks soaked to the bone, clothing torn in various places and very, very annoyed. But no, there don't appear to be any serious injuries.

But when he notices her, he stops rapping and turns to her. ]

Have you seen Dusk? I lost him in the storage room. Stupid mirror.
gingerdiligence: (lineface)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, whoever has Loki's body isn't completely incompetent. She frowns and purses her lips.]

No. This is the first I have seen others, besides the ones I awoke with.

You lost a person to a mirror? Was it in a room with three crates?
bestbrothernever: (memories)

[personal profile] bestbrothernever 2020-03-27 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's the one. Were you able to get through it?
gingerdiligence: (ugh)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
No... We moved it away from the wall and found a key hidden behind it. Other than an odd momentary illusion that only I saw, the mirror appeared entirely ordinary.
bestbrothernever: (orz)

[personal profile] bestbrothernever 2020-03-27 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Moved it away... Why didn't I think of that?

[ Probably because he was too busy trying to fight it. ]
gingerdiligence: (lineface)

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I am not sure why it would steal one of your group when it did nothing of the sort for us.

Did you sense any magic from it?
bestbrothernever: (learning)

[personal profile] bestbrothernever 2020-03-27 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I think he annoyed it.

It was definitely magic. It kept dropping things on us.

[Stops. Frowns. Looks back at the door she thought she had gone through, but]

....time's up, huh? [Sighs, rubbing her temple.]

All right, anyone need help? I figured out the healing.
gingerdiligence: (ugh)

Re: MINGLE

[personal profile] gingerdiligence 2020-03-27 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
My group has a few injuries. And a potential healing item that could use assessment by a healer.
undyingtechnic: (Oh I see)

Re: MINGLE

[personal profile] undyingtechnic 2020-03-28 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
You'll need the real 80H to tell what the salve is. I can only tell like...three by observation alone.

I just got the magic healing.
