Gold Imprisoned
As you slowly come to, you could feel your bare skin against the cold stone floor. You are able to recall the long march you had to do as Falderen’s prisoners with the bag over your head, but you can’t remember your arrival at all. Given that you have been stripped of your belonging and had had your attire replaced with dirty rag, all the while having your wrists bound by rope, you can assume that your captives had knocked you out before they turned you into the model image of a prisoner.
You are able to use your palm menu, however, the communication button was grayed out. If you went into your inventory, you will see that it is completely empty. If you tapped on the logout button, a warning popped up saying that due to you being in a dangerous area, your character will immediately die if you go through with it.
Once your eyes have adapted to the darkness, you realize that you are among acquaintances. However, tried as you might, you can’t even make out their faces because it is too damn dark! Your only source of light came from the heavy barred door in front of you (1). If you looked outward, you can see parts of hallway A and B with a dimmed light coming from down hallway A.
When other people started to wake up and move around, you realized that your cell was quite compact. There was a little bit of walking room, but not much.
At some point, two guards, one with the ringed-eyes and one without dragged someone down hallway B, stopping at the door into your cell. The normal looking guard rustled with his key before he jammed it into the keyhole, opened the door, and threw @Kyupin Felnya into the cell. The two left as quickly as they came in.
After the commotion die down, you noticed a few things.
- On the left side of the room (2), you can feel that the wall is slightly crumbly. In fact, you can remove a few loose stones here and there, but eventually encounter sand and dirt… Was it some kind of wall filling? Did some poor bastard spend their time making this, or was your desperation to get out so great that you are imagining things?
- On the other side of the room (3), the floor tile was rather unstable, you nearly cut your feet walking through it.
- If you placed your ears against the wall at the back of the cell (4), you can hear intelligible chatters, it seemed that this cell in particular was connected to another chamber that was occupied.
- Lastly, you can see a guard with a torch coming down from hallway A, stopping at your cell and looking inside with his creepy ringed-eyes before moving down hallway B. With the clock from your palm menu, 2 hours later, you noticed that a mage with a blueish light came down the hall and doing some kind of gestures at the wall and passed by your cell without looking in. 2 hours later, the guard with the torch returned; it was a set routine!
Kyupin Felnya Story
Earlier… You are woken by cold water splashing against your face. As you slowly came you the sensation of a sharp pain shooting from your elbow up to your bicep force you to go from groggy to alert in within a few seconds. When you turn your head to your right, all your eyes could focus on was the sight of your purple hand pinned against the table you were uprightly strapped to. Fortunately, you can’t even feel it at this point, the thing that really bothered you was the fact that your arm from the elbow down was completely displaced, twisted and bent in the opposite direction it should be; you weren’t sure if the bones were connected at this point… Thanks to the miracle that was the pain setting, you could somewhat have a rational internal monologue as you experience all of this without passing out or shrieking from the pain.
Whenever you finish reacting to it, you could see golden hair at the corner of your eyes. Your attention immediately snapped back to yourself when you saw a guard removing the massive iron spike that was pinning your hand onto it. It felt a bit funny, almost as though you could feel a cool breeze passing through the cavity in the mid of your palm. Once that was over, your arm fell down in a comical manner, swinging softly at your side. At this point, it seemed to remain attached only because of the flesh and skin. It seemed like you were tortured, but you can’t remember anymore… it seemed like something that happened so long ago.
As the guards grabbed onto your arms and dragged you away, you could see the man with the golden hair again, it was Astor. It seemed he was strapped down on a wooden X while a man in a black robe was positioning a wooden wedge underneath his nail. The man had a mallet in his hand and seemed to be saying something to Astor, who was looking at the wedge in horror. Despite the ringing in your ears stopping you from listening in on their conversation, you could hear Astor’s blood curdling shriek as the wedge ripped through the tip of his finger, plying his nail open like someone was shucking a bloody oyster… The last thing you saw as you were pulled out of the room was Astor’s writhing uncontrollably against his restraints.
Once you were out of the room, your consciousness came and went, you did, however, remember that it was straight, right, left, left before you are thrown into a jail cell…
