> 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)
> 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)
> Wash your hands before you touch anything else
Yeah you’re a mess. Better not spread that around if you’re going to be coming back to this room apparently.
You wash your hands...
...and your face, for good measure. (Accepting Inputs) (Start)
(Accepting Inputs) > Check Inventory ( @ multiple )
You’re too busy having A MOMENT to actually check your handy SNURSE (snail purse) but it opens regardless. If you weren’t busy having a moment you’d also notice that the artist decided to slightly tweak the look of the UI
(Inventory recap under the cut) (Accepting Inputs) (Start)
> 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.
(Accepting Inputs)
> Flirt with Arbies ( @anon )
> Ask her about your ear tag. Does she think it looks cute on you? ( @anon )
“Hey Arbies, come here often?”
“Yes I have been here often. I come whenever you summon me.”
“What do you think of my EAR TAG? Does it look cute on me?”
“Your EAR TAG shows you how many pieces of THE WAGER you have left to collect. You want to have as many pieces as you can before the end. And if you check your INVENTORY you will see that no, it is in fact OMINOUS. Your whole attire is rather OMINOUS right... oh... wait are you flirting with me again?”
You avoid the question.
> Ask calmly about your wool. Is this going to stain? ( @anon )
“Even with your memory loss, you’re still the same foolish...”
“Hey is this going to stain? I can’t exactly get this drycleaned...”
“Not in a way that matters.”
“What?”
“Just have a shower. Look there’s soap on the counter."
(Accepting Inputs)
“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)
