Round One [COMPLETE]
NO SUPERHUMAN POWERS; SEARCH THE GRASS, BUSHES, TREES, OR THE RIVER ITSELF
This appears much like the story you may remember reading--an old woman crouches next to a gate, searching through thick, wet riverbank grass. Thick fog coats the area behind the gate, across the river, and perhaps twenty feet in either direction from where you stand. Going into this fog, you feel, would be extremely dangerous--possibly suicidal. Eventually the woman stands up. She is missing all the fingers on her left hand and the little finger on her right hand.

"Please, could you help me find my fingers? I'm missing six of them."

It doesn't look like you have a choice.

Round Two [FOUR FINGERS REMAIN]
SUPERHUMAN POWERS ACTIVE; SEARCH ALL PREVIOUS AREAS, BRIDGE, LAWN
This appears much like the story you may remember reading--an old woman crouches next to a gate, searching through thick, wet riverbank grass. Wait, this has happened before--welcome to round two. You didn't find anything last time, and that's why you're here now. The fog remains, but it's drawn back a bit--travelling to the bridge, a simple wooden structure, is now possible without entering the fog, and the gate opens into the lawn of a house. The house itself is yet covered in fog, but there's a doghouse and the lawn itself to search through. Going into the fog still feels impossibly dangerous.

Eventually, the woman stands up. She is missing all the fingers on her left hand.

"Please, could you help me find my fingers? I'm missing five of them."

It doesn't look like you have a choice. All wounds remain from the previous round. Anyone killed last round returns, but they have a scar that reflects their manner of death.

It's really creepy... and not like any dream I've had before. It's only a dream though so... do you think we can actually get hurt in it?

[scorchedchivalry]

An old wise man once told me that if you died in your dreams, you would never wake. Given this is a game of Ruana's, I am inclined to believe that you can get hurt here and it will have consequences when we wake.

Take care as you play.

[starofpleiades]

I was afraid of that... still, nothing looks too dangerous here? Yet, anyway...

[She nods] I'll be careful. Since it's just a small area, do you think it'd be okay if we split up? I wonder if they aren't beyond the fog though...

[scorchedchivalry]

Do not venture into the fog. It unsettles me.

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi looks over at the white. It doesn't look threatening but it's also just... there. Like maybe the dream ends there.]

I'll try to keep away from it then. Hopefully it stays where it is.

[scorchedchivalry]

Good. Now, we should try to complete this game as quickly as we can.

Call me should you require my aid.

[starofpleiades]

Alright, I will. Good luck, Saber.
