[Game 21] Group 2

After the blackout, a dim glow returns to the train car. You can feel yourselves still rattling along the tracks, and the world seems to be rushing by outside in bits and flashes, an occasional pulse of color. Some of that ambience starts to fill the train compartment with a sickly blue light.

Rattle, rattle. Rattle, rattle.

Most of you feel . . . fine, physically unhurt, just maybe a little hungover from what just hit you, like waking up with a headache and a dry mouth. You do have the memory of pain, of how that unpleasant, searing sensation pulsed through you; but it's just a shadow now.

For those that are spiritually or magically sensitive, something is definitely wrong. Your senses feel a little dulled and constricted, like a weight is pressing down on you.

There are two exits to your compartment: one moving up the train towards First Class and the conductor, the other leading back, where you know there's at least one more passenger car behind you.

On each door, there is a glowing sigil of a watchful eye, an unwavering and unpleasant blue.

Literal weight, I guess.

[after taking a few deep breaths, he crouches down and tries to pick the marble up.]

[It's really heavy, but Elluka leans down to help him pick it up and they more or less can carry it together]

Where to?

That's... a very good question. It's blue, like the eyes?

Looks like it's the same size as the pupil, too, so...

But we can't get to it until the lasers are disabled. So the puzzles aren't completely separate.

Oh, wait...

[turns to look at the back door; the iris on that sigil has turned red]

This one might go backward.

[!!]

Let's try it.

Sounds good!

[hauls it back there]

They haul it back there and lift it into place. It fits, and there's a click.

It worked!

[holds up his hands for a double hi-five.]

[Hi10!!!]

Should we help the green team now or [gestures at door]?

This door's probably blocked on the other side, but we should at least try. Just in case!

[CAN DOOR DOES OPEN]

The door opens!

There is a visible barrier between the cars.

...Helping the green puzzle team out it is.

Pretty definitively, yeah.
