I will be frank: I do not trust anything about this hotel, and I think we would all be wise to be prepared for any possibility.

[she's preemptively so tired.]

[sageguidance]

[ she is..... ]

That is... quite true. It would do me good to remember not to grow complacent, even on the quieter days. In times past, events had happened on such a routine.

1/2

[fishingforcompliments]

Hmm... as I recall, there was something of a routine in the camp as well. But even so...

[anyway! time to open door three.]

2/2

[fishingforcompliments]

[and out pops this monstrosity. there is only one monster, but each of them will see a different person's face inside the snake's mouth.

flayn stumbles back, her eyes wide, and tries to put an arm out to shield alphinaud]

Look out!

[sageguidance]

[ Today is the day Flayn learns that Alphinaud is a weenie, because he just.

Shrieks. All while throwing both arms up to cover his face, like that's supposed to help any. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[


in that case she will try to cut the snake with her shaving kit blade (where was she keeping that) (don't worry about it)]

[sageguidance]

[ She's valid.

Alphinaud stumbles into the railing behind them, and that's when he finally looks up to see her going at the snake, who also attempts to strike at her. ]

Wait, Flayn—!!

[fishingforcompliments]

But it—

[it's trying to attack them! flayn, foolishly, glances back at alphinaud when he says her name -

and the snake slams its body into her, sending her crumpling to the ground. ouch! alphinaud, get over here so you can get your minor injury!! "britt stop trying to make people suffer" no]

[sageguidance]

[ but britt is valid.

As she falls to the floor, it goes to strike again! And Alphinaud, who isn't even keeping shaving razors on him, decides he'll go for the next best stupid action: forcibly slamming himself into it before it reaches her again. ]

Away from her!

[ But all it does is throw him back, too. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[the snake hisses, which is accompanied by the pained scream of whichever poor sap alphinaud recognizes in the thing's mouth, and it thrashes about, as if gearing up to attack them both again once alphinaud is thrown back and subjected to his own minor injury -

only to suddenly vanish behind the door, which shuts with a slam.]

What in the world was that thing...?

[sageguidance]

... Seven hells—

[ what the fuck! what the fuck!! ]

You... you were right to be cautious. Ugh.

[fishingforcompliments]

I had hoped to be wrong.

[she scowls, putting a hand over her side. ouch, that smarts.]

Did it hurt you?

[sageguidance]

[ A hand of his own goes to his arm, as he slumps against the wall. ]

Barely—'tis not of any concern. And what of you?

[fishingforcompliments]

I am alright. I have suffered worse injuries - this is relatively minor. It may bruise a little, though.

[sageguidance]

If that is the worst of it, then we are quite fortunate... For a moment, I truly believed that thing had meant to do worse.

[fishingforcompliments]

It did seem as though it intended to... we are lucky that the door shut when it did, I should think.

[sageguidance]

Mayhap these doors are best left alone.

[fishingforcompliments]

I think perhaps you may be right, but... knowing that makes me no less curious what is behind the other ones.

[what if there was something useful behind one of them???]

[sageguidance]

—You want to see more?!

[fishingforcompliments]

There is a saying: high risk, high reward. If the dangers we face are substantial, the potential payoff ought to be as well, no?

[sageguidance]

I... I suppose. At the very least, I could not leave you to open another by your lonesome.

[fishingforcompliments]

...are you sure?

[she heard that pause between "I" and "I suppose"]
