All things considered, his team wasn’t half-bad. They couldn’t hold a candle to the group of friends Noctis was used to traveling with, but when stuck in a darkened maze like this, they were decent company. While Noctis was only stuck with a plastic fish, Kurama - one of his teammates - was given a shovel, which could no doubt do some damage if he was able to wield it properly. Meanwhile Izuminokami... well, at least they likely wouldn’t be cold at any point during their journey, with his blanket.
If he was being honest, Noctis dreaded their first encounter. But as he jogged ahead of his group, falling naturally into the role of leader, the prince slowed down as they approached a door at the end of the hall. Something inside of him told him that this was where they were meant to be, almost like a gut instinct. Besides, there was no other way to go, besides back where they had come from. Noctis spared a silent glance to his companions before opening the door confidently, only to gasp out loud in surprise when he saw the interior.
Wall to wall, nothing but cheese could be seen. There was no other sign of a door, an exit to this nightmare. Glancing towards his teammates, Noctis swallowed thickly, stomach churning at the thought of having to escape this cheese tomb.
“It’s... a room made of cheese.” Noctis concluded finally, looking exasperated as he sighed deeply. He had been prepared to fight monsters, not... dig his way out of a cheese room.
( a cheesy start, with @ryoumen & @practicalandpretty )
