Final Trial

[It seems as though the badge that Tadashi found fits neatly into the indent in the broken statue in the main room. Once inserted, the ground quakes as the statue begins to shift to the right, revealing a narrow, spiral staircase leading down, down into the ground.

Lots of secret passages in this place, huh?

Lit torches line the walls of the stairwell--clearly, someone is anticipating your arrival. As you descend down the staircase, the air grows cooler, not unlike the atmosphere when descending towards the trial room back on the island. The passage grows more and more narrow, until, eventually, you're forced to shimmy between the walls.

Eventually, however, there is a doorway. As you push yourselves out of the stairwell, you find yourself in a ruined chamber. Ancient stone carvings decorate the walls, crumbling and defiled after centuries of wear and tear. One of the walls of the chamber has been torn down to reveal an expansive cavern, wooden bridges spanning any drops and rope and pitons marking off certain areas where dig sites have been abandoned. The area is dimly lit by gas lanterns strung up around the rocky walls.

This isn't a trial room. It's an excavation site.

On the far side of one of the rickety bridges, shrouded in shadow, is a slim figure. They stand at attention, holding a cane in the crook of their arm. They slowly lift their hands and begin a slow, sarcastic clap that is heard throughout the cavern.]


Congratulations. You've made it here, no thanks to that ridiculous, cowardly genie.

[The voice echoes throughout the chamber, amplified by the acoustics of the cave. The speaker is male, and although his tone is otherwise friendly, there's a certain cold quality about it. Sweet, in the way that antifreeze tastes before it kills you.]

I must say, you are a tenacious bunch. But, unfortunately, this is where we end our little affair. But, before you make any rash decisions, I must remind you that I have your little friend in my possession.

[He shifts slightly, revealing the Genie's lamp tucked in his jacket. The artifact shines in what little light it can reflect, before he folds his jacket back. He chuckles to himself.]

You wouldn't want anything dire to happen to this lamp, now would you? [A pause.] Though, if you must know, he's the one who came up with the "murder game" concept. He's the one that kidnapped you and brought you to this place. So, really...if anything, you're going after the wrong guy.

'Make sure he doesn't get away'. Easy for you to say.

[....]

Can I... wish for that?

[Genie's eyes light up.]

Do it! Your wish is my command, and all that! Speak the words, it's gotta start with "I wish..."
feudalladyshandmaid: (Scheme)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2020-08-01 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well hey, she's still got two more.]

I wish that Muntz guy can't get away from us.

[Genie snaps his fingers.]

Your wish is my command!

[At first, nothing looks out of place. A blue light suddenly spreads out from Genie, glowing and growing in intensity, like a bubble expanding outward. Although they won't be able to see from down in this dig site, a large, blue bubble has formed around the bunker, preventing Muntz from escaping the area.]
feudalladyshandmaid: (Check)

Well, that's one problem solved. [A lot more to follow, after she's climbed back out of the pit.]

Just how 'bad news' is this Jafar guy?

Preeeetty bad. Like, this guy is a dictator who just wants nothing but power.

[A pause. He scratches his head, frowning.]

I don't remember him being a Genie, though.

[Weird universe time shenanigans!]

... so it's like how Foxy and I don't have matching memories of things?

[huh. Weird.]

[personal profile] neverhadafriend 2020-08-01 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of! I guess. Things get weird with magic, you know.

I mean, why not at this point? [We've got our own crazy people? and Bill] Other crazy things have happened.

If he didn't used to be a genie, then can we just wish he wasn't again?
neverhadafriend: (09)

[personal profile] neverhadafriend 2020-08-01 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I...don't know, to be honest! I've never quite used my power against other genies...but it's worth a shot, isn't it?
feudalladyshandmaid: (Unsure)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2020-08-01 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[Then again, she has only two wishes left.

One more to free him.

That's all she needs right?
]

I wish... that Jafar wasn't a genie.

[Genie grins nervously, rubbing his hands together to ready himself for the spell.]

Your wish...is my command!

[Genie gestures towards the general area where Jafar is, unable to see the events unfolding currently. Unaware that, at this very moment, Muntz is hanging on by a rope and Jafar is before him....]
