Hmmm... so the poppy so far...

[putting the gem back over with the rest and broken door number four! let's go!]

Re: THE CRYPT

The last item is a folded handkerchief, with a kissmark in one corner.

You see a man laughing cheerfully, seated across a campfire from you, exuding a warmth that you feel has to be genuine. Regret is your own loneliness, the greater understanding of a camaraderie and team you could have had, but has been taken from you.

This one is... less final than the other two, but there is no happier ending than with the third door.

Re: THE CRYPT

[unlimitedtimeoff]

So that settles that...

[but now it's time to inspect the still in-tact doors and the symbols they have on them.]

Re: THE CRYPT

[fujimaru]

The intact doors also have intact statues! The fifth door has a warrior holding a spear, standing in an aggressive stance; the sixth, a hunched shape with a skull mask over the figure's face; and the last door... is someone genuinely huge. It's almost as big as Moon, carrying a cleaver that is nearly as long as it is tall.

Re: THE CRYPT

[unlimitedtimeoff]

Uwoh. Big guy.

[peering right at the statue]

... you're not gonna suddenly jump to life if I try for a door, are ya?

Re: THE CRYPT

[fujimaru]

It does not answer him. It is a statue.

It might be different if he touches it, though.

Re: THE CRYPT

[unlimitedtimeoff]

[... hmmm...

gonna go to the spear one.

and knock on its head!]

Hello!

Re: THE CRYPT

[fujimaru]

When he touches it, it absolutely tries to stab him.

It's not the best shot, because it is still a statue, however magically animated, but unlike Olgamarie, it seems to know how to aim for vulnerable points.

Re: THE CRYPT

[unlimitedtimeoff]

[... except Gojo doesn't have a vulnerable point with Limitless. it just slows to a seeming stop before reaching him.]

Booby trap, huh. Neat.

Re: THE CRYPT

[fujimaru]

The statue does not answer him, because its mouth is not made for that, but there is some weird, distant sense that it is meant to be annoyed.

Re: THE CRYPT

[unlimitedtimeoff]

Not my fault that you're weak, buddy. But if you're here to protect something, then that means you're supposed to help Ritsuka, right? I'm looking to help, so like... maybe chill out.

Re: THE CRYPT

[fujimaru]

It does not try to attack him again, but also, this might be an automated thing; after a few seconds after trying to stab him, it returns to the same aggressive posture as before.

Re: THE CRYPT

[unlimitedtimeoff]

[makes a face

can he at least make out the symbols on the doors?]

Re: THE CRYPT

[fujimaru]

He can! They definitely appear to be of the same design--the door for the spear-wielding statue and the skull-faced statue match (a spear, and a skull), but the giant with the cleaver appears to be some sort of horned beast. Whoever designed these definitely made them a set.

Re: THE CRYPT

[unlimitedtimeoff]

... huuuuh. Okay.

That probably means something to someone, so I'll be back later.

[PATS THE LANCER ON THE HEAD BEFORE DODGING ANY ATTACK AND GOING BACK TO COLLECT HIS CURRY AND THE ITEMS!

TIME! TO GO BACK TO THE MAIN ROOM!

AND GO TOP!]

Re: THE CRYPT

[fujimaru]

Up, up, and awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
