> Use Key with door

[Ash]

You put the key into the lock, and it opens the door. The key turns to dust in your hand.

The open passageway looks fairly innocuous, and is strangely in pristine condition despite the derelict exterior. The corridor is not well-lit, so you can't see what's at the other end. It appears to be a long oblong thing, but you don't know exactly what.

>Find out what injuries I have

>Run straight at oblong thing and take it

[MCV]

As you try to take the oblong thing, it flies up into the air and starts to hit you on the head. I does not hurt very much.

HP: 89
INJURIES: Gash on calf - light
Scuffed and bloody knuckles


Command: Examine Oblong thing

((OOC: I wanted it to be a bed, but whatever ))

[MCV]

The oblong thing is very dark, it kind of looks like the night sky. As you touch it it sparks, and starts to expand. After a second you stand before a gaping black hole.

>Jump into black hole

[Ash]

You are sucked into a vortex. You feel hot, cold, in pain, in rapture, happy, sad, omnipotent and powerless, everything and nothing, all at once.

After a few moments, you find yourself standing in a completely empty white space of nothingness. Around you, you hear what sounds like wind-chimes. In front of you, you see a small sign of life. A few pillars, and what looks like a bed. You see a strange-shaped figure. Bipedal, the head has the look of a hammerhead shark, with the eyes out on googly stalks.

You are quite a way away from him, though. He doesn't look to have seen you yet.

>talk to creature

[Ash]

The creature turns around, rather shocked, and speaks in a rather perverse alien tongue. Despite this, you seem to 'feel' what he says, and so can actually understand him.
"Hello. I am Polquan. It has been a long time since I have seen another face in here. I suppose you are the next hapless victim claimed by curiosity. Hee hee. Speak freely, whoever or whatever you are. As you can tell, while we may speak different languages, we can understand each other perfectly well."

>be a little shocked

> talk to Paquan:

"Erm... yes, I jumped into a black hole to get here. Any ways out that you know of? So you know, I'm a humn adventurer."

[Ash]

"There is only one way out. We both have to want for one of us to leave to return to the real body. Now, I have been here not less than what I presume to be a thousand years, though I am not sure. I'm, as you can understand, quite eager to see the real world again, even if it is in your strange physical form.
"Since you want to leave, and I want to leave. the only fair way to do this is through a test of skill. I propose a mental test, since it's the fairest way. I don't know what your kind is good at, and you don't know what my kind is good at. Since we're both sentient, this makes sense. By the way, you can't kill me, but physical harm will only make me not want to let you go, even if you win. We will each tell and answer riddles. First to get one wrong loses. Do you accept the challenge?"

>Enter Command?

((You'll note I'm basically ripping KOTOR off here))

[MCV]

(Or The Hobbit.)

>Accept

[Pyth]

EDIT: I'll take the result.

Paquan asks, "What is on four legs at the start, two in the middle, and three at the end?"

>A life. Baby has four, adult has two, elder has a cane.

[MCV]

Is that the best you can do? You are not even doing it right! I is "What walks on four legs at dawn, two legs in the day, and three legs in the evening?"

>Man

[Pyth]

Paquan says, "Yes, yes indeed. Now ask me a riddle."

OOC: I. Stink. At. Riddles.

>Ask:

You can see nothing else
When you look in my face,
I will look you in the eye
And I will never lie

What am I?

[Pyth]

Paquan wonders for a moment. Apparantly, 1,000 years of isolation does nothing for riddle solving capability.

"I... I do not know. You may go."

OOC: Sorry. I've no clue about solving riddles... XD

[Ash]

OOC: Bah! It's 'Your Reflection'. You were supposed to lose when the human made a number riddle! Have you never played that game at all? hell, you coulda googled that riddle; that's what I did


Command: Leave the black hole.
