[Loaka of the Wind]

You think very deeply about the number 360. You think of your favourite rapper, 360, and how his emotional lyrics reformed your undirected anger into a clear hatred of authority. You think of your favourite motion, the 360 motion, the motion in which you spin. You clearly remember the phrase ‘Spin to win’ and wax nostalgic. Perhaps, you ponder, if you do enough shenanigans, a wizard will appear, and this simple puzzle will solve itself. You attempt to enter the Konami code and receive a hilarious cutscene in which Hideo Kojima argues with the door about the meaning of life for twenty minutes. It turns out that the meaning of life, according to Hideo Kojima, is Hideo Kojima.

You then stop having fantasies about things you don’t know about, and speak aloud the code to the door.
“360 A B”

The door-bot’s eyes glow blue and the door slides open. It slides away before you get to ask it, once and for all, why it is indeed such a curious door. You have a feeling that it may in fact be a description of the strangeness of the door, and not in fact the mood of the door itself.

You are now in a hallway. Congratulations on leaving the first room! You are so overwhelmed with emotions. Pride, joy, absolute sorrow.

There are a few paths. Facing away from the door you came from, they are:
– Left. A long, white hallway with a few more metal doors in plain grey colours. Due to the colour of the walls, it’s hard to tell from this distance if there are any turns here.
– Right. A shorter hallway that comes to an end not far from you. There’s another intersection here that heads away from you.
From this position, you can’t tell much about the areas around you.

Automated Mapping … ? You better check out that other thread that has the map in it!

Frolic left down the hallway, opening any and all doors that aren’t locked.

[Loaka of the Wind]

You turn to your left and walk down to the end of the hallway. All in all, it’s pretty boring this way. There were 3 doors to your left as you passed and nothing to your right.

The doors didn’t seem to open for you. They don’t have a cute pass-code door bot on them and have no visible means of opening them from the outside. Could they be like your room, perhaps?

Where else do we want to go, then? There’s a turn to the right at the end of the hallway, or back the way we came.

[DolimiccanDragon]

((Take the right.))

[Delta Aiken Nomani]

(continue frolicking to the right)

[Loaka of the Wind]

You turn around the corner.

Analysing the area with robotic precision, you have to say you have no fucking clue where you are still. There’s a passageway to your left and you can continue forward, where there’s a right turn. They say two wrongs don’t make a right, but three rights certainly make a left.

There’s a salmon coloured door to your right, with a big ol’ V on it. There’s a small device on the door, looks like some sort of entirely normal locking mechanism. Nothing else here.

((Try saying 360 A B to it, it worked last time!))

[Delta Aiken Nomani]

(Or knock. Knocking works too. If someone’s there, that is.)

[Loaka of the Wind]

Well, the last door you wanted open (discounting all those other doors you wanted open) opened when you said that code … so you try again.

Unfortunately, this appears to be a regular-ass handle, with a key-lock on it. Your code falls on deaf ears, so instead, you knock on the door.

No response, but …

… the door swings open a little. It’s pitch black inside, except for the small amount of light that’s coming through from your side. You can’t see anything except for oh gods what the heck is that.

((RUN!))

*Coax it into coming out with apple juice*

[I]

scream

[Loaka of the Wind]

You scream a tinny scream that you are absolutely certain solved nothing. You don’t even have any apple juice — perhaps that’s worth screaming about too. Whatever it is inside the room looks at you for just a moment before vanishing from view.

In your continued panic, you run like heck, back to your safe place.

You’re back here now. There’s a something out there and it went somewhere you didn’t see. What will you do?
