With two of the last four Orbs now lit thanks to @Magi Heart, it was all too obvious what the last combination was! The one with the heart, representing love, and whatever it was that the person, most likely meant for @Comet, most desired.
Regardless of the most-adult woman solving this or not, one-way-or-the-other, the barrier broke. The spell lifted. The obstacle removed. The big, rusty, iron-door creaking loudly as it slowly opened, all by itself. Inviting the intruders to intrude even further.
Collecting themselves, one way or another, the girl group would proceed down a dozen more stairs down. A number of stairs that made any normal kid cry about just how many stairs they had to go down! Someone like @Alphabet Chocolate would maybe even get the crazy idea that this was part of some mountain-monk-training-thing! Going up - or in this case down - so many stairs every day they'd have stepped enough for the rest of their lives. With the exception just to repeat the torture again next day.
Nonetheless, after what felt like another small eternity, with only some dim lighting provided by some torches on the side, they were greeted with yet another door! Just as big as the one before.
They could feel it, @Celestine maybe for the first time, what they were seeking was behind this. The long-awaited treasure, the prize after some annoying dungeon with way too many cutscenes. It better be worth it! Yeah... pleasing Vermillion was always worth it.
As they reached for the big, metallic, knocker on the door, however, it opened all by itself.
Wowzers! You did it! Congratulations! Welcome to Paradise.
An upbeat voice immediately greeted them as she stretched out her arms, the last part of her sentence rather sarcastic, if not even strangely tired. She was just one of five people present in this room. No... not people, but rather, human-sized dolls? It was honestly hard to tell, some of them had obvious joints and what-not while on others it was hardly noticeable. This... what even was this place?
There were a bunch of rather childish things spread across a stone-floor in this rather large room. Toys, crayons, child books, stuffed animals, even drawings of very varying skill were lying on the ground or drawn across the stony surfaces. To one side there were a bunch of beds and, again, some more childish than others. Even a toy castle was present! The singular light source of various crystals sitting on a generously sized chandelier gave the entire room a rather uplifting look.
At the other end of the room was yet, another door, this time way smaller. Undoubtedly leading to their promised treasure.
You're the grunts of this... woman? Leave this place and don't turn back. This'll be the last, and only warning.
The one who spoke up now, standing right beside the red-head in the middle of the room and the closest to the group, had a rather strict tone in her voice that contradicted her rather naughty appearance.
Hmpf. Not like you'd listen anyway, after coming all this way. An empty act, nonetheless required so nobody could claim otherwise.
With these words, they could feel how magical energy was gathering around her, apparently finished with talking.
A-Are we really going to fight them? Please... don't get hurt too much. Fourteen, I know you're exhausted, but try your best, okay? And Thirteen...
A really, really small doll looked with worry in her eyes at the back of the room to another one. Sitting in a big fluffy chair with a face nearly void of emotions. This one, Thirteen, seemed to be of the creepy, gothic loli, sort. Her hand slowly lifted upwards as she pointed towards each of the intruders.
Pointing at Magi
A girl, her dreams corrupted...
Pointing at Celestine
A girl, searching for her true self...
Pointing at Blank
A girl, seeking friendship...
Pointing at Alphabet
A girl, wanting to be someone different...
Pointing at Comet
A girl, ... doesn't belong here... seeking... acceptance... urgh...
With these words, the usually silent doll fell silent again. While her words more-or-less reminded them of the mental attacks they received earlier, she carried no magical force behind them. Harmless, even.
Ten, Sixteen, please be silent for the remainder of this fight as to not give the enemy any hints to our capabilities. Listen to Fifteen, she's in ch-
The last of the bunch, also small but still normal, did not finish her sentence as she realized her near slip-up she made.
Whaaaaatttt? You're so boring! Holed up all this time and now I can't even have some fun talking? Well, excuse me princess for not having super awesome superpowers to mess with Papa's Home! You know how it feels to get teased all day just seeing how YOU'RE having fun with all those visitors? Bleeeehhh!
This one seemed greatly annoyed as she stretched out her actual tongue towards the heterochromia one!
Oohhh... I should introduce myself, right?! I am Sixteen! The creepy one is Thirteen! The small one is Ten! And the two spoilsports are Fourteen and Fifteen! You look even more lovely in person! Especially the ice cube! How about I'll be your friend?!
With a lovely grin on her face, 'Sixteen' made a playful gesture with her clawy hands towards @Blank, gosh she totally dug that look!
Urgh, just shut up and fight! The way we have practiced.
