[Game 21] Through The Train

[arsgoetia]

The marbles from each group are inserted into the pupils in each door. The eyes blink, unnervingly, then seal shut. All at once, the lights dim down in each compartment and fade back to quiet darkness . . . though you still see the occasional spark of magic along the windows and edges of the train.

You still have no electricity, and your magic is still dampered.

You can, at least, proceed through, either back or forward along the train. The compartments are arranged in approximately this order:

[#1 - ??? - Open] - [#2 - Sariel's Group] - [#3 - Elluka's Group] - [#4 - Maon's Group] - [#5 - ??? - Open] - [#6 - ???] - [# 7???]

Ah, it says "the world's retribution", and the key is "war" and it's a Keyed Caesarian shift at a shift of 12, I figured it out—

Go be in a fandom or something! That's LIKE a war! Except about who Rey from Star Wars is sleeping with!

It makes solving things easier... Don't tell him that...

Do you think it'll work on this handprint...?

That guy needs to calm down, maybe.

(frozen comment)

[playfair]

I think that's like the whole point of us trying to stop him, is getting him to calm down.

(frozen comment)

[defendless]

Oh, all right then.

Some demon we rescued from a torture trap.

Anyway, nice work, let's try it on the door.

(frozen comment)

[playfair]

Oookay...

How do we try it there?

The door into the final compartment's got a gold eye on it, plus a handprint and a clock stuck at midnight. It's the same color the code showed up in, so it stands to reason that that they're probably related somehow?

There was also a Bible verse written near the whole thing? Ecclesiastes 3:8. Not quite sure how that figures in yet.

Seriously?

(frozen comment)

[playfair]

I'm kind of annoyed it took me so long to solve it knowing that...

(frozen comment)

[troublebrewing]

Good work, anyway. What do we do with it, though?

(frozen comment)

[beginningofwisdom]

Well done.

(frozen comment)

[playfair]

Thanks!! ♥

[ancestuous]

Ah - good work. "The world's retribution"... Is it in reference to something?

[I don't know this religion]

[playfair]

It seems like it's the same general theme as everything else... But, if it's a Bible verse, I don't know the Bible good enough to recognize it yet.
