[ From this user, a.k.a. one (1) Haru Okumura, previously of Tokyo -- ]

Would anyone like to play a word game?

I understand our life here isn't exactly frivolous... but that only makes relaxation and downtime even more important, I think.

[ Anyway! Here's the game! Haru is very bored! ]

You are inside a room. The room is completely empty except for two doors on the wall facing you. They appear to be your only way out.

Do you:

a) Open the door on the left
b) Examine the door on the left further
c) Open the door on the right
d) Examine the door on the right further

All right, I'll admit I'm curious.

I'll for for A.

[courted]

You open the door on the left.

It leads to another room. This room has one door on the west side and a window on the east. What would you like to do next?

[ Bless your intellectual curiosity, Maribelle! ]

[troubadamsel]

Best to check my surroundings. I will go to the window!

[courted]

You look out the window.

It shows you an empty dining room with a beautiful crystal chandelier and an impeccably polished floor. The table in the center seats about twenty six people: twelve on either side and two at the end. A fine layer of dust coats everything, suggesting no one has been there in quite some time.

What would you like to do next?

[troubadamsel]

Minus the dust, it sounds like I'd be right at home! What a lovely place.

Now then, I will go to the door.

[courted]

You open the door and step into the dining room.

From inside, you can make out a few more details, such as the large spiral staircase in the far corner leading up to what looks like a mezzanine. There's also the fact that try as you might, you can't see your reflection in any of the reflective surfaces in the room.

You feel an oddly strong inclination to relight the candles in the room... but you certainly don't have to! There's plenty else to explore, after all.

[troubadamsel]

I'm amazed you have this all memorized.

But perhaps lighting the candles would help me see more clearly! Is there anything I can use to do so?
