Rosewater II: Veri Vitae

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas shrugged, as he didn't particularly care.

[The Truth]

Nalle stretched. "Well, irregardless, we should focus on getting out of here."
Noël turned to look at her. "Did you seriously just say that word?"

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"THat's not how grammar works." Tomas said, as she looked at Nalle skeptically.

[The Truth]

"If a word is used wrongly enough it becomes the correct way."

(Noël): "Why am I friends with you?"

(Nalle): "Because I buy you sweets."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"That just doesn't." Tomas stared blankly at Nalle, unsure how she even got that logic.

[The Truth]

OOC: Sadly, that actually is how language works. it's why grrrl is now considered a valid word by some dictionaries. >_<

IC: "Nobody asked you."

(Number 16): "I hate to interrupt, but we really should focus on leaving."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

OOC: Fail logic.

-==IC: TOmas==-

Since when can we leave? Tomas thought with a frown, as he looked over at Number 16 oddly.

This makes me sad.

IC: "If we just stand around talking, it's pointless. This is a tourist attraction..we should at the very least try the exits."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"Whatever you say, mysterio." Tomas said with a shrug, as he went to look toward where the exits were.

[The Truth]

(Voice): "Oh, do you want me to open the exits? if so, I'm sure we can work something out. A simple challenge. Mental, physical...emotional...Oh yes, this will be fun. Since I'm such a good sport, I'll let you choose the challenge."


Lights above three doorways activated, one red, one blue, one green.

"The rules are quite simple. Between 2 and 4 people can go through each door. However, one person is already beyond the green door, so you can only send between 1 and 3 through it. Choose the teams and go through your assigned doors, and we'll begin."

Tomas frowned, as he looked at what was happening.
"I don't like the looks of this at all. What do you guys think?"

[The Truth]

(Sixteen): "Our most logical course of action would seem to be to play along. No doubt our captor will punish us if we resist, and we may find some clues if we follow their instructions. As far as pairs go, I can see a few possibilities. Option A, the people who know each other team up. That is to say, Noël and Nalle will be team 1, Tomas and Sally will be team 2, and I will go through the remaining door to meet up with our other member.
Option B, boys verses girls. I will team up with Tomas, and two of the girls will be a team, while the third girl goes through the remaining door.
Option C would be to select purely at random, which to me feels rather time consuming, but is nonetheless a possibility."

Tomas looked at Sixteen oddly, still wondering exactly who he was. However, none-the-less, Sixteen brought up a good point in general.
"Any of them seem right, though, I'd rather partner with Sally." Tomas thought for a moment after he said that.
They don't seem to know this guy any more than me or Sally... I don't know who's behind door number two, but... Tomas considered it for a moment.
"Let's go with Option A."

[The Truth]

"Very well. is that acceptable to the other team?"
(Noël): "Sure. Nalle and I get along fine."

Sixteen nodded.  "Very well. I will take the green door, then. Does either team have a preference for their door?"

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"I always get matched with the Red team, so might as well beat it to the punch this time."

[The Truth]

Sixteen nodded again. "Very well. Then Noël and Nalle will take the blue door." He turned and walked through the green door, which locked behind him.
(Noël): "Hold on a minute. Before we go through, I need to ask you something."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"Hm? What is it?" Tomas asked, as he looked over at Noel, still unsure about her in general.

[The Truth]

"Well, isn't that 'sixteen' guy absurdly suspicious? Is it really smart to do what he suggests? I mean, really. He hides his face, his name, and doesn't answer any questions. Plus, as far as we know, none of us know him. Ten to one he's working with whoever grabbed us."
She idly dug around in her pocked, then pulled out a sealed bag of chocolates and began to eat them.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"He does seem suspicious." Tomas admitted, but frowned.
"However, his logic is sound, and it leaves us with a pretty perfect set-up... We don't know who's behind the green door either, and in our groups, we know the other person. Better chances than one of us teaming up with him, no?" Tomas explained, wondeering if that made sense.

[The Truth]

She nodded. "I suppose so. On the other hand, if everyone paired with someone they didn't know, it would be a good check against any treachery, if each member of a pair was equal in strength to their partner."
She returned the chocolates to her pocket. "I guess it doesn't matter right now. If he wanted that door to himself, he's already got it. let's hope he doesn't do anything to the person on the other side."
