What the heck is wrong with this place!?
This COMFORTABLE SWEATER is definitely ruined. Which sucks because you liked that sweater, or you think you probably did. You still have AMNESIA after all. But that burst of RED stained it. You don’t even have to check your INVENTORY to know it’s going to be a negative of some sort.
The SPACIOUS PANTS might not be too bad after they’re cleaned but you can’t go around like this. You’ll have to check your clothes in the other room and change, but before that you’ll need a shower to wash all this RED off of you. You don’t see hoo...
HHOOOLY SHEEP WHAT IS THAT!?! (Accepting Inputs)
> What does the red stuff taste like? ( @electrosheep3000 )
Good question!
Bad. Apparently. You can’t place it. It tastes like what fruit punch would taste like if the only ingredient you had to work with was shoe polish. You’ve heard of red dye being made from some kind of beetle, and you’re wondering if they stopped at the beetle part when making all this RED.
> Take the soap and keep it for later consumption ( @electrosheep3000 )
No one minds if you take the little toiletries, they just throw them away after you leave right? Could be a nice treat later on.
You collect the SOAP (soapy). It’s lemon flavoured. (Accepting Inputs) (Start)
> Take a shower ( @cheetahgirlmuscles @anon )
Yeah it’s about time! You bring over the soaps from the counter and a towel from under the cupboard and get ready to have a shower.
Since there’s no curtain, and your clothes are dirty and you get the feeling that someone is still watching you, you decide to have the shower with your clothes on. Two birds with one stone; you’re a genius!
A damp, damp genius! (Accepting Inputs) (Start)
“Now you...”
“There’s not a lot I can say to you that does not violate the rules of THE WAGER. But you must be prepared to defend yourself once you leave this room. You can stay here as long as you like, but there is no way to complete THE WAGER from within here, unless you choose to concede.”
“If you find somewhere safe you can draw this SIGIL to protect the room from other participants and to summon me if you so choose.”
“Each person you meet is another participant of THE WAGER. I will not tell you what that means, so you must do with that information what you will.”
“Now, do you have any questions for me?”
> What’s with all the red? ( @anon )
“Yeah, what’s with all the red?”
The A R B I T E R rubs their forehead.
“This is worse than I thought.”
(Accepting Inputs)
> Maybe ask the lady in red what she means by "again" ( @anon )
> Again? What happened last time? ( @cheetahgirlmuscles )
“Again? What happened?”
“Hmm. This kind of memory loss this far into THE WAGER? This does not bode well for you, little lamb. Yes. We have met many times. Dozens, I would say.”
“Please take a more comfortable position as we have much to talk about. I will not harm you I promise. I couldn’t even if I wanted to, though I must say I’ve taken quite a liking to you.”
“In the interest of fairness, I will reintroduce myself to you, as I had when we first met.”
“I have no name that I would let you speak, but I am the A R B I T E R. You have given me a few nick names over your time here - Lady in Red, Strawberry Jam, Red, Arbies - and while I do not mind these pet names I would urge you to call me as I have introduced myself.
“My role is to preside over this WAGER and ensure that no one cheats. However, given the boundaries of THE WAGER, there is no way for you to cheat, so it is merely a formality for you. It is more to protect the participants from themselves than from each other.”
“Now you...”
(Accepting Inputs --> the A R B I T E R may answer some questions)
> Sounds like Arbies is flirting now. “You want me to shower in front of you? We just met!“ ( @cheetahgirlmuscles ) ... you say.
“I can see we’re getting nowhere. So I suppose I’ll see you next time instead.”
> Wager implies the stakes are dependent on a future event. What's supposed to happen? ( @itsernestok)
“... goodbye.”
“Come on Arbies I’m only joking, say what’s this WAGER then?”
“You.”
“I’m what?”
You are alone.
