FINALLY... THEY CAN GO THROUGH THE DOOR... though perhaps a moment too late, all things considered.
Dusk the Best11/25/2017
Dusk still has owies on her arm, but she's just DETERMINED TO GO THROUGH. There are THINGS TO DO. Oh wait.
She turns to look at everyone, "Are we all okay?"
GM11/25/2017
Soaked and soggy, you enter a room that's dark, and feels as though it's living and breathing. The beat of a heart resounds through your ears. The walls almost seem like they're moving. Are they moving in tune to that heart?
This is the Living rOom.
In this middle of this living room is a large drop with blood at the bottom. On the other side is a set of revolving doors.
Now, across this drop—this deep pit of blood—is a busted bridge that reaches the entire way across, but has several missing boards. Fortunately, those boards sit along the side nearest to you.
Bottle, who had remained quiet until now, points at the bridge.
"Well, well, here it is! Our first training shot! What say you guys, wanna jump to the other side?"
Juno the Natural11/25/2017
"Um." Says Juno.
GM11/25/2017
Bottle grins.
"It's totally doable."
Early jumps in.
"Or, you can just try to walk across... like a sane person..."
NOT JUMPS IN THE BLOOD
EARLY DOES NOT JUMP INTO THE BLOOD
HE JUMPS INTO THE CONVO

Walnut makes a sort of. Half smile half grimace at the question, something Dusk might be able to pick up on as sheepish, but she doesn't SAY anything, for better or for worse - just walks past her with no comment, heading on into the next room.
Dusk the Best11/25/2017
Cute Peanut!
Walnut the 6th11/25/2017
No!!!
Juno the Natural11/25/2017
Well!! Since Peanut is leading the way and everyone seems okay (they nod to Dusk thankfully at the concern), Juno's going to go across the bridge next!!
GM11/25/2017
To cross the bridge, you'll have to give me,
Slut the Rumored11/25/2017
"I suppose I can give this jump a shot!"
GM11/25/2017
A Quest + 2D6 over 11 roll.
:ok_hand:
11 or over, i should clarify
Bottle laughs. "I knew you would, Slot! Go ahead, show off for us~"
Dusk the Best11/25/2017
"Maybe I'll try jumping too!"
Slut the Rumored11/25/2017
Slot grins and makes a show of cracking his knuckles and stretching his arms.

It doesn't seem too far to leap, it's probably doable! Probably!
To leap it... yeah, it requres a good Bravery + 2D6 roll over 11--

SO YES, let me clarify: to cross the tattered bridge normally would be Quest equal/over 11, and to JUMP across this thing would be a Bravery equal/over 11.
And if you jump it successfuly you get affection from Bottle.
Who will admire you.

Dusk goes to try and JUMP. And did okay, but not...enough...
Slut the Rumored11/26/2017
Slot makes a solid effort to jump, but that dream from this morning still has him rattled. He makes the attempt to jump and he just almost makes it, but he comes up just a little short. He grabs onto the opposing side, trying to pull himself up, but his strength isn't what it used to be. Slot tries and tries and he just loses his grip and falls into the blood.
Climate Change11/26/2017

But just as she's nearly across she loses her footing, brain still a little scrambled from the possession experience, and trips at the very last. Right into the blood.
Climate Change11/26/2017
Is everyone crossed over yet or otherwise in the blood yet. Clima's just watching, perched at the edge.
GM11/26/2017
And so, all three of you slip and fall into the blood.
Bottle regrets a lot of things right now and instituting a training pop quiz is one of them. You can hear Early cry out.
This blood is warm. It's warm and it's consuming. The smell of iron overwelms you. It's hard to keep your head afloat.
The edge is right there. You can still climb the edge and get to the other side...
But it's... kind of nice here? Something is in your ear, telling you how nice it is here. No... no, you have to come to your senses!
I'll need a Wit roll from each of you, 11 or higher!

Juno the Natural11/26/2017
"...why aren't they getting out?" Juno asks in confusion. They haven't attempted jumping yet. It seems gross, for one, and for two - there's not a lot of people stuck in the bloody mess.
Slut the Rumored11/26/2017
Slot feels himself get wrapped up in the blood. It'll be so easy to let himself just submit and live in the blood. But through the sound of the voices, one stands out. Its Bottle's voice, and Slot focuses in on that, and pulls himself together. Slot takes himself and slowly pulls himself out of the blood. He's gasping for air as he crawls onto the other side of the pit.
Dusk the Best11/26/2017
Dusk doesn't know how to swim probably.
By the way.
Climate Change11/26/2017
Clima tilts his head at Juno's question, giving a rare frown. His eyes don't move from the blood pit when he goes over to the broken bridge, and -- straight up just yanks one of the ropes off the pole, and then just fucking jumps into the blood water. Does not even attempt to try to jump over, he's going straight in.
Juno the Natural11/26/2017
"Uwah!!" NO, WHY, WHAT
Climate Change11/26/2017
The blood is warm, almost pleasantly so -- but the texture of it sticking to his feathers and clothes is unpleasant enough to make him want to get out. He swims over to Dusk quickly, rope in hand so he can tie this around her waist and try to pull her the fuck up tell me you can float at least
do not make him dunk his head in this filth
Dusk the Best11/26/2017
"Are you here to swim too?"
GM11/26/2017
Bottle, he manages to jump over the crevice with Early over his shoulder (who, btw, is crying like a baby.) As soon as he lands he TOSSES EARLY ASIDE and runs up to Slot.
"Geez, I'm sorry! I thought you guys wanted training but I fuckin' put you all through a sticky situation there!"
Dusk the Best11/26/2017
I have no idea if she can float, she's enjoying life.
Climate Change11/26/2017

Dusk can kind of float. Enough to keep her head up! She can breathe, thankfully.
Climate Change11/26/2017
He's tying the rope around Dusk so that Juno can pull her out.
Except I think Juno is on one side of the bridge and the rope leads to the other side???
