A Whole New World (Of Escape Rooms)

Who: Aoi ‘Santa’ Kurashiki, OPEN
What: A thrilling chase, a wondrous place…where characters are now locked up until they puzzle their way out. Don’t worry. This is fun. This is what fun looks like.
When: In the later part of Feb, before Apocalyptic stuff starts going down.
Where: Aqures Ixen, an abandoned building.



[The letter Santa sent to the various Heroes of Light directed them to a building in the Sixth District, still in shambles from the Empire’s attack. The building in question seemed sturdy enough to enter, but showed signs of obvious disrepair. A perfect place to have a fun-filled evening.

He had been tinkering off and on inside for a few months, just to give himself something to focus on. And if he’d made all these puzzles anyways, there didn’t seem any reason not to test them out. It might be good practice for some of the Heroes on how to use their brains. Besides, he wasn’t forcing anyone into it this time. It was all strictly volunteer basis, the people who thought this kinda thing was fun.

When enough Heroes assembled, he stood up in front of the doors to the building.]


Ok, chumps, here’s the deal. You’re gonna go in, and I’m gonna lock the doors. There’s a bunch of puzzles inside with the keys you need to get out. There’s clues to help ya out if you need, and I’ll let you call me in for a hint three times. Other than that, you get out when you solve the puzzles. Simple as that. I don’t wanna hear any whining, ‘kay?

[A people person, Aoi Kurashiki was not. Let the games begin.]

A formal thing? Did a lot of people want to do these kinds of puzzles, then?

[she snorts, tail waving.]

I'd certainly hope not! That'd be embarrassing.

['Death by Puzzle'. Not what she wants for her tomestone, thanks.]

[Not far away, a certain someone visibly wilts where she stands. Thanks for reminding her of the time she was burnt to a pile of ashes because she didn't know how sudoku puzzles worked, gosh.]

[she straightens up, tail flicking, eyes darting from one to the other. That's- something unfortunate she's stumbled into, isn't it. She's… definitely wondering what kind of puzzle sudoku is, but maybe she'll ask someone else. Later. Much later.]

Well! That definitely won't happen, then.

[and an abrupt change of tack, because she's uneasy.]

What else did you do back home?

Oh, trading! No, I don't think I would have guessed that. Did you have any specialities?
