"Hmm.. Ah, I think I've got this puzzle figured out. Too bad I have to backtrack a lot to solve it..."

Cirvante examines the labels carefully.

"I see...

B = blue
R = red
Y = yellow,

make

P = purple, (B+R)
O = orange, (R+Y)
G = green, (B+Y)

and since this crystal is already blue, I should head for the room labeled R, and then return here with the purple crystal."

Cirvante exits the room

"Must have my hands on that red key. I know I'm going to need it later on."

fabio covers his mouth with one hand, stands up, and searches for the key on the floor.

@OOC: Meh, here I go again

-----------------------------------------------------------

(((((FABIO)))))

You kneel down and begin crawling, regaining your breath. You can clearly see the glass - but that's all you can see. When the box hit the floor, it shattered. The floor is littered with glass that would surely pierce your skin if you crawl through it. Not only that, the poison also seems thicker where the glass broke. The red key is just beyond the glass - but would it really be wise to try and get through that? Ponder it.

(((((DARKDATA)))))

You begin to return the torch from where it came from, but there is no need. The crazy hand shoots out at you, grabs the torch, and recoils into the wall. The torch is back in place. You then try to pick up the black box. As you do, the numbers on the front seem to go haywire, spinning up and down. The words "Do Not Lose" immediately change to the numbers 2 3 4 - the number of letters in each word. The keylock has reverts to 0 0 0 and freezes like that - like it's waiting for some sort of code.

(((((CIRVANTE)))))

You walk up to the memo and begin to examine it. You see a strange picture similar to the map of the second floor, except it only shows three rooms - the one you are in, and two more to the west of you. Each room looks exactly the same, but has a different letter. The one you are in is "B", the one west of you is "Y" and the one directly west of that is "R". Three labels are directly underneath each room - from left to right, they are listed as P O G. Finally, near the bottom of the memo is a few lines of scribbled handwriting:

"Hello, victim of the Master. We hope you have been enjoying your stay in our humble home so far. Welcome to the second floor - the home of chemistry and other amazing things. If you are reading this, you probably have a blue crystal in your possession. Lightly dabbing it in bottles of liquid can change the colour of it. Figure out this colorful puzzle to progress."

The signature is illegible.

"Hmm, looks like these notes are instructions on making some sort of draught... Illustrated, even."

Cirvante takes a closer look at the memo.

"Hmm interesting" *Picks up the box* "But first things first." *Returns to torch to where he got it from*

@OOC: Exams = t3h suck.

------------------------------------------------------

Throughout the mansion, you hear a clock chime twelve times. That can only mean it's noon or midnight - and by the feel of the mansion and the darkness outside, your excellent knowledge of deducing says it's nighttime.

It is now night. The second floor doors have flipped.


--------------------------------------------------------

(((((DARKDATA)))))

You take the torch off of the wall. The crazy hand reaches out to grab you, but falls short when it realizes you have "permission". You walk over to the chest and set it on fire. Instantly, the web ignites and sparks fly everywhere. Before your very eyes, the web burns away - but so does the wooden chest. However, the contents of the chest are still intact - a small black box with the label "Do Not Lose" embedded on the cover. When you look for a way to open it, you see a combo lock on the front with three numbers. They are pointing at 9 2 5.

(((((FABIO)))))

You continue to carry the box and leave the room - right back into the poison. The box with the red key begins to feel slightly heavier, and the poison once again fills your lungs. You cough uncontrollably - and the glass box flies out of your hands. When you try to see where it is, you can't because of the fog - but you are sure it is still on the ground in this room.

(((((CIRVANTE)))))

You take the crystal and put it in your pocket. As you do so, a bright light shines from the circular room ahead, and the pale blue aura begins to fade - revealing a strange looking room directly in front of you. There is a small table in the middle with a vial of clear liquid on it. There is also some sort of memo pinned on the table directly next to the vial. It seems to be a sketch as well as some notes.

OOC: D:!

"The slots on this crystal... This is definitely some sort of key. It may even be of some usefulness in protecting against spirits, seeing as they avoid this room... I should probably take it."

Cirvante takes the crystal.

"This room is giving me the creeps. I better leave this place now."

fabio carries the box and leaves the room.

Wow, the doctor must change with the time or season or something. He was nice for a second there.

@OOC: I swear I updated. But I didn't. Meh

@Darkdata: Stale and old. No mold .. yet So it's at least edible

-----------------------------------------------------------

(((((FABIO)))))

You pick up the glass box and prepare to take it with you. However, it is very heavy, and you doubt that you can carry it for very long. Fumbling with the box and key, you close the drawers and leave the necklace behind. As you turn away from the drawer, you get a sudden feeling that you are not the only one in this room ...

(((((DARKDATA)))))

You pull out the walkie-talkie, press a few buttons, and try to get ahold of the doctor. At first you hear fuzziness, and then the doctor's voice. "Is there something I can .. um .. HELP? you with?" You ask him to borrow a torch off the wall if you put it back after. The doctor remains silent for a while, and then responds. "Argh. You dumb kids want EVERYTHING, don't you? Fine, take the stupid torch, I'll disable the traps .. for now. Hurry up with it, and put it back when you're done, or else I may have to grant you some deliciously evil pain." He hangs up, and you can feel your walkie-talkie weakening.

(((((CIRVANTE)))))

-turn was missed-(1)

-----------------------------------------------------------

USEFUL INFO: Items in this crazy house are not as they seem. Sometimes, you may see a green item in your inventory. These are better known as *spirit-bound* items, meaning they are bound to their place before they are removed. You have 3 turns to do something with it, or else it will disappear from you and reappear back in it's original place. In this case, the glass box and key fabio has is spirit-bound.

Hmm, I wonder. The last time I tried to take a toarch from the wall, the doctor stopped me... I wonder....

[[Wakitalkie]]*Contacting the doctor* (ooc: Like you said we could)) Hey, I know your busy with your plans to kill us and all, but could you let me borrow a toarch from the wall if I put it back after?[[/Wakitalkie]]

(ooc: Is the bread moldy or just stale and old?)

"Hmm...how did that red key get in there? I better take it with me so I can find a way to open it. As for the necklace, I better leave it here because I don't want to waste time unjamming it."

fabio takes the glass box with the red key and closes the drawers.

@OOC: And a haaaaaappppyyy new year!

----------------------------------------------------------

(((((FABIO)))))

You walk over to the corner and open the top drawer first. Inside is a necklace with a cross on it, embroidered in gold. The chain appears to be jammed in the back of the drawer though. You open the second drawer, and there is a tiny little glass box inside of it with a dull red pulsing key inside of that. However, there is no opening to the glass box, so how it got in there is a mystery.

(((((CIRVANTE)))))

You kneel down and touch the small blue crystal. You feel a surge of energy pulse through you, and then you pick it up. On the left and right sides of the crystal, there are two very tiny openings that look big enough to fit a dime, at the most. The top and bottom of the crystal are shaved off, making them blunt. Would this crystal be worth taking with you?

(((((DARKDATA)))))

You pull out your bell and try to scrape the web off the chest. However, the web is much too silky, and all you are really doing is stirring the web around. There are, however, torches lining through the whole mansion. If you had some sort of way to set fire to something, you may just be able to burn the web .. but how on earth could you transport fire safely?

"Well this is certainly interesting. Better pick it up so I can have a closer look."

Cirvante picks up the small blue crystal.

@OOC: Well, gee .. why not update now then?

@Darkdata: They were small spiders. Very small. Yeah.

---------------------------------------------------

(((((DARKDATA)))))

You walk past the spider and into the new room. Covering the walls and ceiling a giant, silky spider webs. From the roof, you can here a clattering noise, and from the walls, a skittering sound. In the middle of the room is a dusty metal chest, but it is completely tangled in a web, and would be impossible to open unless you somehow removed it. On the far wall, you see something brown sticking out behind a web.

(((((CIRVANTE)))))

You want into the pale, blue cell. As soon as you step into the blue light, your vision blurs for a minute, and then corrects itself. Ahead of you, you see a circular room with a large podium in the center. It appears to have a small round hole in the center, where something like a vial could fit. The bricks on the walls are made of blue crystal, and you even notice a small chunk of pulsing crystal on the ground near your feer.

(((((FABIO)))))

You hold your breath, but not for long, because you already got some of the mist in your body. However, you still have consiousness, and you quickly twist the knob on the door, run it, and shut it behind you. You are now in a rather small room. The walls are dripping with a strange green liquid, and the ground appears to be made of a creaky wood. There is a pillow and blanket in the northeast corner of the room, and a shelf with two drawers in the southeast corner of the room. The northwest corner of the room is empty. You feel a little dizzy and dazed from the mist, however, and struggle to keep your balance.
