Alex rubbed a scrape on his arm and stared around. He couldn't really focus on anything in the room, but he got a vague impression of jack-in-the-boxes, old raggedy bears with shiny beatle eyes, and legos on the floor, waiting to be stepped upon. He closed his eyes, concentrating on keeping the Seussical influence from altering his perceptions too much.

Unperturbed by the sudden change in surroundings, Niran half raced after the woman in white but it was all in vain. She was far gone from site by the time the young man had recovered fro his smoke induced coughing fit and there wasn't going to be any catching up with her; for now.
"Son of a...RAAAARGH!"
Punching a nearby object he grumbled to himself miserably, unhappy to have been so easily outwitted. Scowling like a child, he stomped back over to Alec and crossed his arms, his souring look remaining.
"What a waste of time..."

"This can't be the end..." Alec said to Niran, "We defeated them, and we've gotten this far. I may sound unusually hopeful, but there should be a way around this." "He's right," Tristan said, "It won't do us any good to freak out. We need to keep our heads on our shoulders and concentrate." Alec peered around. The images swirling around them made things confusing, but his concentration lead him to see something. "Over there! I see a staircase, leading to...something. It might not be the way out, but we can't just stand here." If everyone looked to the spot that Alec pointed out, they'd indeed see what he was talking about. The stairs twisted and turned downward, an abyss of colors being the only thing swirling beneath them. It was clear that something was at the end of the path, but the scenery made it difficult to make things out.Alec's Characters | Alec Level: 17 Class: Prophet Subclass: Evoker Active Persona: Althaea Element: Water HP: 136/355 SP: 230/560 Status: Fine |

Alex opened his eyes. For a moment, he could see through the fog as if it didn't exist. He saw the staircase, spiraling down, and down...and then the fog came back. Alex sighed.
He walked up and stood next to Alec, saying nothing.

For a moment further the Asian sulked, but his disposition changed rapidly and with a new found enthusiasm he pointed towards the spiralling staircase that had appeared in their surroudings.
"Onwards"
Marching over the LSD trip abyss that seemingly lasted forever, he paused for but a moment before jumping down the gap with much abandon. Whatever lay down there certainly didn't seem to dampen his mood at least...nor did it bother him that whatever lay in wait.

"Alright... Let's go." Alec followed after Niran, as did Tristan. As the party neared the bottom of the stairs, the abyss of vague colors and shapes swirled around them. What was at the end became more and more clear... It seemed to be a podium of some sort, or a desk. In fact, it was the machine of the scientist. Upon inspection, they'd find three buttons; a blue one that said "yes," a red one that said "no'," and a purple one that said "maybe."Alec's Characters | Alec Level: 17 Class: Prophet Subclass: Evoker Active Persona: Althaea Element: Water HP: 136/355 SP: 235/560 Status: Fine |

BUTTONS!!!
Niran giggled in a manner most unbeffiting his usual angsty self and ran over to the pedestal that housed them. Sleek, smooth, irresistable, pressable buttons &hearts
Like a kid in a candy store, the asian mulled over the options momentarily, eyeing each of the buttons individually taking in their gentle allure. Daring not to press any, he retreated back towards Alec and grapsed his shoulder's firmly, accosting the other youth from behind. Leaning in closer, he nigh on purred sweetly into his ear...
"Press yessssss" :3

Alex looked to his left, mildly amused by Niran's fondling of Alec. Still, now wasn't really the time for this kind of thing.
Speaking of being irresponsible...
Alex spoke as he walked towards the desk.
"Knowing this group, it will take us half an hour to decide which button to press, and since we have no idea what they mean anyway, I'd prefer to save some time, no?"
Alex hesitated for a moment, his hand over the desk, and then pressed "Maybe".

Before Alec had the opportunity to say anything, Alex had made the choice for them. While Niran had made what he wanted blatantly obvious, Alex was probably right. "Well... We'll see what happens now." Tristan said, tensing up in expectation of anything. Once Alex pressed the button, everything started flashing red and a loud, obnoxious siren rang through the room. The scenery around them began to melt away like a wet painting, slowly returning back to the pale room they previously occupied. Once finished, the machine fell silent. The floor opened up and swallowed it, replacing it with a stereotypical treasure chest. It looks like the right choice was made.Alec's Characters | Alec Level: 17 Class: Prophet Subclass: Evoker Active Persona: Althaea Element: Water HP: 136/355 SP: 240/560 Status: Fine |

If looks could kill!
The previously kitten like Niran almost immediatly swtiched to his typical broody self. A scathing look was cast in Alex's direction who had stolen the glory of pressing the button. Even more annoyed that the button he had pressed seemed to do the job, Niran's fooul mood only escalated.
Stomping across the room and refusing to not receive at least a sliver of the glory, Niran kicked the chest hard, the lid popping open from the force.
A soft light seeped from beneath the lid, a gentle warmth to it. With a look of smug satisfaction, the Asian turned his gaze back to Alex, a sign of a challenge.

Alex grinned at Niran.
"That saves us from arguing over who opens the chest, too."

Alec just scratched the back of his head and sighed, smiling slightly. The little dispute was amusing. Even though there wasn't a debate, things still didn't go over entirely smoothly. Well, what's done is done... He thought, We got through the ordeal safely.Tristan moved in and open the chest fully. He picked up what was inside, which appeared to be a sort of controller-like device with a single switch on it. A voice rang out through the area, soft and gentle. "You've received the gift of dissonance; this object brings confusion to its victim. Beware, though; it does not last forever." The voice faded, leaving the party to move on. Now there was a door leading out; the only way to go.
Item obtained: [The Key of Discord] When the switch is flipped on, the enemy in mind is cut off from using all spells and skills. However, the effect is weak and therefor is only active for three turns. It picks up again a single turn later, though. Once the battle is over, this item breaks.Alec's Characters | Alec Level: 17 Class: Prophet Subclass: Evoker Active Persona: Althaea Element: Water HP: 136/355 SP: 245/560 Status: Fine |
