TAKE X (6-5-17: The End)

> Answer as best you can.



You've never been the best at improvising when you're talking to people. Nevertheless, you do your best to bluff her.

"I'm... not suspicious at all! Just the entertainment-- sorry, I mean the courier. I'm... here to pick something up, that's all."

She gives you a calculating stare, then apparently decides that what you said passes muster. "Yeah, all right."

"And you are?" you add, eager to turn the topic away from yourself.

"I'm Justice. Look, are you going further in? You'll need to be careful. This place is no joke."

"Well, I--"



A loud slam shakes the room, interrupting you. After glancing around to try and figure out what it was, you try the door again.

"It's locked! But it was unlocked just a minute ago!" You curse under your breath.

Justice tries the door you came in through. "This one's locked too!"

"Ahem. Is this on?" A voice echoes through the room. You can't immediately tell where it's coming from. "I do believe it is. Now, I see we have another uninvited guest. Please remain in the holding cell until I come... welcome you."

That doesn't seem like it'll end well for you. The last time you got rumbled was when you were trying to steal the Diamond of Leah'Vih Tahloan from the Cathedral of Despair up in Qassan. You don't technically have any memory of what happened after that, but you don't think it was good.



You begin scouring the room for a way out.
