kryxel looked at his watch and said "it is too late to go back to the 'safe' zone..." kryxel looked around and saw a small door
inside it was a cot a table and a candle with matches
"perfect. get inside and help me move the table and the cot up against the door."

Instantly allarmed, what little security Nam felt in his own room was all gone here. "No, no, bad idea, baaad idea. We can't stay here!" Nam grabbed Kryxel's arm and flipped his wrist over to look at the watchface. He was right. It was either not make it back the way they had come, keep wandering all night (or until they got eaten), or stay here. "If we stay in here, we're trapped if something bursts in. Anything that's a threat to us will definitly be able to burst in." Nam smelled himself, "And I'd say we're pretty noticable to predators," he crinkled his nose; he hadn't showered last night, and it had been a while since he had been incased in water enough to be called a real bath even before he was captured.

zfatal Rosemary snapped her fingers. "That's it! Alya, you are so brilliant!"
Snatching the piece away, Rosemary examined it. It didn't look like it would fit, though... but what the heck! The rich girl jammed it into the circle anyway, trying every which way until - it actually crammed in there, somehow.
Rosemary studied the puzzle curiously. The piece was in, and the puzzle was arranged as Alya had set it. But nothing happened.
"Did I miss something, Alya?" Rosemary asked, scrutinizing the puzzle. She blew on the side of her candle as it threatened to collapse from the heat. Alya frowned and sat up, somehow pulling the piece a bit further out and then she started to spin it, giggling. She let go of it and left it to spin and then started to tap the symbols which lay, like on the compass, point up, down right and left "Flowers, birds, vines" She said tapping the three symbols pointing right and then moved on to the next one "Chilly, big and flowing" she tapped the ones pointing down "Hot, free and destructive" She tapped the symbols pointing left "Clean, sweet and whipping" She said tapping the symbols pointing upwards "Fire, water, air and earth are what the symbols are trying to say, so the center piece should be light and darkness" She stopped the piece spinning and brought it out, looking at the symbols on either side. Then she placed it back in and grabbed the candle putting light to one side. She watched as the center piece went into the center and span as it disappeared into darkness. One of the panels gave a little moan as the circles disappeared along with half the wall, to reveal what lay beyond it and what secrets were hidden there

Nam's face twisted comically (like when he'd stepped in the mud earlier,) when he saw the can. Rebeccah sometimes made him wear that stuff and it did not smell good. She had to wrestle him down like a pig to get it on. Trying to get out of what Kryxel was implying, Nam said (meaning every word), "Something would smell that even more, you know," he tried not to betray his worry.

((Is that guy's 'hidden' pocket endlessly deep? Try to be realistic, please.
And advertising... >< You would do that more effectively by advertising in your siggy. Just letting you know.))
Rosemary blinked, her jaw hung open, and her hands rested on her hips - as if she'd forgotten to move those body parts.
"Wh-wh-wh- That's amazing! Alya you're a GENIUS!!!" Rosemary exclaimed with a huge hug to the other girl. Almost immediately, she let go, however, and was already wandering inside the dark chamber - and it was unknown to them how close it was to sundown.

Alya smiled and laughed out loud at what Rosemary had called her
"I'm no genius!" She said laughing and wandered after the girl into the chamber, looking around
"I wonder what this place was used for" She said murmuring to herself as she had no idea how close sundown was

Inside, the two young girls would soon realize, that it was not a chamber - but a cavern. Deep, underground (how had they gotten underground?), in a cavern. Water could be heard dripping from stalactites, far away in unseen areas. The air was surprisingly nice - very fresh, somewhat cold, and after five minutes of breathing such air one's sinuses would feel very clear and would ache somewhat.
The effect would be similar to breathing whilst chewing fresh, minty gum. It was very... refreshing.
The sparse light reflected off of tall, ominous stalagmites erecting from the ground, but the darkness swallowed all trace of light more than a few feet from the girls' candle.
They would not be able to safely navigate such a place with one candle. However, Rosemary either did not know or did not care. Grinning, she began walking in a random direction, "Let's go."
((Feel free to add your own plot twists, people.))

Alya looked at the candle and gulped
"Rosemary, shouldn't we get more candles? Just in case that one runs out?" She could see how short the candle was and if they wanted to explore then they would need more light!

(a flashlight a marker a lighter and axe. i carry those in my pocket all the time) "but by the time they smell it ...it will be the smell off death" kryxel said launching some onto the lit lighter causing a huge spurt of fire.
"now lets close that door."

"Nonsense," Rosemary replied over her shoulder. The candle was pretty low... but if she went back now, she'd never forgive herself. What if one of the guests got there FIRST? Well... technically Alya was a guest but she could be trusted - Rosemary could feel it.
"We have to get to the end of this place - wherever that is. I can't - I won't go back now." Rosemary continued stubbornly onwards.
She wouldn't blame Alya if the girl refused to follow, however.
((Seriously, you don't have to follow if you don't want to.))

Nam let loose his breath, relieved, and feel to the floor, exhausted and hungery.

"it is not a four star meal...but it should last us till dawn"

Nam looked at the gum with a face that said "are you serious?", but didn't voice the oppinion as he took a couple of pieces and stuck them in his mouth. He licked the wrappers and stuck them on his forehead, cringing yet smiling at the cinnimon burn.
