Who: Hydra, Ikki, Allen, ANY
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, evening
What: When we last left our intrepid heroes...

[In the arena, there's some decent quality meat burning as a gift to two particular Judges, a comatose member of Hydra and a few guards with torches... and not a whole lot else to explain what's going on.

Well the real interesting part is going on a little deeper anyway.]

Antechamber

[You fall into the room accompanied by a large wave of water... it drains off, leaving you on the floor.

The room is circular and plain, looking a bit more like a gigantic cage than a formal room. It is mercifully dry here, and you seem to be hanging above the water. Through the bars you can't seem to make much of anything out. Of the three things of note in here, the first is that the 'floor' seems to be made of a carpet simple steel chains, making your progress a little tricky, but not impossible. There is an undecorated metal table in the center of the room with something on it.

The exit is a simple, open door to the cage at the far wall. There doesn't seem to be a way back up.]

[On the table there is a plate memories with a heavy metal box resting on it. It is secured closed with a padlock, and several chains are securing it down to the table. As you watch, more are slithering up from the ground to wrap over it. There is a small key on the table as well.

There doesn't seem to be anything else of interest.]

[WE CAN TAKE THIS MOMENT TO HALFA GLARE AT SPIKY before looking around a bit.]

[Every now and then, you catch something silvery shift out of the corner of your eye, or hear the rattle of chains, but there's no sign of what's outside of the bars or cage door.]

Oi, Agito - do you know what this is for?

Re: Antechamber

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

I haven't been here any more than you bastards have... [Sigh, then a look between it, the box on the memory plate and the door.] It aint for the way out.

[Giving the cage door, a light touch, it swings pretty easily.] So I'd assume it's either for that mess there, or something later.
