The machine in the center of the room was simple enough, a small platform, with a few colored buttons on it- four red, four blue, and four green. A couple screens on the machine showed what appeared to be a room containing colored boxes. One red, one blue, and one green, as well as three yellow indentations scattered throughout the room.
"I thought they sent us here to kill each other, not to screw around with weird puzzle shit."
Dekowin crossed her arms in frustration, and glared at the machine, as though she might be able to scare it into opening the door. Lillian had followed in meekly, and refused to look directly at Dekowin.
Before, she had had a decision to make. She could have followed the scary bug girl, or gone back down to save the nice bird lady. But now that Dekowin had pulled her across the hallway, she didn't have a choice. She couldn't just go back now. As far as she knew... the others were...
"No one's dead yet by the way."
Lillian suddenly looked up. Dekowin continued glaring at the machine, but she was talking to Lillian.
"I've been thinking about this place. Or at least, how it looked on my end. I leave my starting area, run into one guy. We progress forward, run into you and that bird chick. I'm betting it's set up like a tournament bracket.
The asshole that sent us here said he wants to 'gather data,' which I guess means he's studying our fighting techniques or something. He also said he wants us to meet up before we kill each other, which means he expects us to reach the end of the tournament bracket BEFORE we start fighting. And at the same time, he said there'd be "Arenas," as in, more than one.
Basically, what it all points to is that the asshole who sent us here would make a much bigger deal outta one of us dieing- and ESPECIALLY two of us dieing at once- than just letting them fall down a big black hole."
She sighed. It really was shoddy reasoning, but this girl couldn't do much good being all mopey like that, and there's no way Dekowin would have the patience to deal with this puzzle.
"Anyway, if two of us are allowed to die in an instant like that without any sort of change, it's gonna be a pretty shitty battle for 'data gathering' or whatever, so they probably landed in a big vat of jello or something."
Lillian made little change in expression. It was pretty obvious Dekowin was just babbling, and she still had no idea what happened to the nice bird lady. Dekowin sighed.
