Ofelia was pretty damn sure her brain just melted though her ear and that was a sad, sad state to be in. "So...uh...how 'bout ya go firs' an' Ah follow yer lead? Or Ah follow Jerry's lead or someone else other than me does stuff firs'."
Puzzles were still not her forte oh my god she wished right now maybe she was in a different group that wasn't involving puzzles. Like maybe the group outside punching things? Was there a group outside punching things? She wished there was. "On a random note though, the letter on the outside first is gonna match wit' 'K', right? Which direction are we goin' from?"
Jerry was already saying something like 'N R T' and she shrugged, thinking back to her days of hang man. "NTR, maybe gonna spell HUNTER? No wait, six letters there. Mah bad."

[Entering from Labyrinth ]
Rep could not have been more glad to get the misty oppressive purgatory of the labyrinth behind him, but as he stepped out following the other hunters he realised almost immediately this place wasn't anywhere on earth. The thought was a bizarre one but simultaneously undeniable. He could feel Tracey's agreement with him, the fallen angel distinctly unnerved by the bristling atmosphere. It made him jumpy and nervous, more so than usual. He didn't like being split up from everyone and he worried about how the others might fare with their separate divisions. Wherever they were, this s**t was serious.
He looked on with the others in the cavern as they were instructed, eyeing the glyphs ******** hell he was no good at puzzles.
He glanced around helplessly at the others before zoning in on familiar faces. Good, Jordan, Jerry and Ofie seemed to have made it out just fine, at this at least some of the worry bled away. He had to wonder if they were as anxious as he was, he couldn't tell just by looking. He didn't ask though, just tried very hard to look nonchalant as he sauntered over.
"So, any ideas what the ******** we are doing?" he asked. "Not that I think I'll be much help." he frowned at the strange letters, feeling useless before they'd even so much as begun. "Never was much ******** good with languages but I'll do what I can."

[ENTER]
Bix emerged from the portal behind Rep but had missed most of the conversation.
"Hey guys." He first was hit by the obvious change in the air and felt weighed down slightly all of a sudden. The next most obvious thing was the huddle around Jordan's cell phone.
"You guys have that look where you seem to have an idea whats going down." Bix didn't like the feel of this place. "So just point us in the right direction and we'll get this done."

[Enter]
Allan and Simon had both made it out of the Sahara.
When he'd saw all the portals and divisions milling around together, Harrison had felt a certain amount of dread. But Moon were support, and he was able to relax a little. The Suns weren't being sent off alone, and he didn't have to worry that they'd be who-knows-where fighting who-knows-what minus protection.
He wouldn't have to defend his damnedest and get back to the base intact only to hear later that- it didn't matter. He could do something about it now.
"Puzzle s**t, huh?" He couldn't keep the smile off his face.
B0nez gave him a tile count, but seemed distracted. He didn't care for the room much. It was like somebody had fiddled with the gravity dials, and it got worse the closer they got to the glowing thing in the middle. Right now, Harrison didn't want to be anywhere else.
"I'm with Bix, tell me what to carry where."

"That's a K, a B, a D, and the one right under the spiral is an omega." Jordan pointed each of the glyphs out. He frowned at the layout. No immediately obvious pattern. They couldn't afford to spend too much time mulling it over, but there had to be a way to figure it out.  He looked up as other trainees appeared through the portal; it was good to see anyone get through that labyrinth, but he felt a swell of silent, selfish relief when Rep and Harrison both stepped through. Knowing they were all right, that he didn't have to worry about his guys off somewhere else fighting unknown obstacles - that was a weight off his shoulders. "Here. They're Greek letters," he told the new arrivals, "and we're looking for five-letter combinations. The omega may be a key point."

Ryan followed the others through the portal and noted the sudden change in the atmosphere. Fear was definitely present here and a great deal of it. Did that mean they were no longer in the human world and more importantly, was it safe to be here without golems? He thought about it a moment before he decided that it was unlikely that they would send them all here if they were only going to get killed from something of the sort. Sure Caelius hated them enough to do it, but he doubted Allan was the same.
Spotting the others, he picked up his pace, catching up with them just in time to hear the tail end of the instructions that Allan gave before he and Simon both took off somewhere else. He stared after them a moment before looking back at the glyphs tiles.
....Yeah he had no idea what to do, but seeing as a couple others had already asked, Jordan was kind enough to give them all a re-cap.

Rep's relief at Harrison's arrival to their group was incredible. His anxiousness about the weight of the atmosphere of the place, his worries about where the other man was, all fluttered neatly away as the Moon hunter joined them. "Aye, puzzle s**t." He couldn't help but look glad to see him either.
As Jordan spoke up again, Rep listened intently. He wasn't hugely educated but he did easily recognise greek letters from various random sci fi movies and things of that ilk, they popped up ******** everywhere. He wasn't someone to stand around talking too long either, especially not when the weight of the place was making thinking so hard, so right away he went to fetch one of the glyphs, hefting it into his arms and carrying it over to the centre.
"Omega you said right? Well here's a big ******** red M here. Might as well get s**t laid out, reorganise it if we have to."
He stepped back "So like that maybe? Next one'd be a blue E."

"I got it handled," Harrison said, hefting up a block and moving it towards the center. He was careful, but he didn't linger long.
"Something about this room isn't right, B0nez is saying we oughta hurry. Let's just get them down. Jordan, you see any pattern rearranging that needs doing, you say so."

Dis was humming louder as Marcus yet towards their destination. He was close to happy, though the weapon was also expressing worry over the fact, 'he wasn't in a golem this time'. Marcus was going to hazard a guess as to what that meant but god if they were, he was not comfortable with the idea. FEAR was FEAR and while yes, his weapon was quite comfortable, Marcus was not. Enemy territory, and Dis's humming and worry slowly becoming muted. By the time Marcus reached the other trainees, Dis was silent.
The sight of the other sun hunters and the other moon hunter was welcomed though.
"Hey guys." All he noticed were walls and slabs and- "Let me guess, we have a puzzle to complete before we get crushed to death by the walls or something."
((If someone can handwave explanation that would be awesome))

He totally agreed, the stillness and focus Tracey was showing was unnerving, it felt like when he was in the desert and the fallen angel had been entirely focused on him not dropping dead. He didn't know what the ******** was with this room but he wasn't about to push it and test. A sense of urgency really did get into full swing as he picked up the two letters to finish off the word .
"Yeah, lets not focus too much on the pattern. It'll be way ******** easier once they are all down to rearrange. And maybe it'll take the edge off how much this room is making me ******** crazy."
It was like ******** nightmare scrabble.

Bix watched as Rep began placing tiles based on Jordan's explanation. He moved beside Marcus to explain what he'd gathered.
"We have to put these runes out. Jordan got a text clue from an unknown source. He also already had a key for the symbol to letter translation. So .... that's what we are doing." Bix scratched his head. "Well that's what we have so far."
[[ I am at work so I'm not able to do anything graphics-wise. Don't wait on me to place tiles... since when I leave I will have errands to run on the way home...X____X ]]

"That's about the size of it," Harrison answered Marcus, "or...or something. Hell I don't know."
Allan and Simon hadn't been all the specific except that they were all nakama, apparently.
"We're retiling. Like we shoulda been doing with the bathroom. Grab some glyphs and put them down." He worked as he talked.

 Ofelia had no idea what the hell she was doing, even with Jordan's explanation and the arrival of more of her team as well as the arrival of some of the people from moon. She knew Marcus but the two blondes were a mystery. One of them was saying what to do, giving commands politely, and since Rep was following them Ofelia figured she should follow them too. Introductions and blatant curiosity could wait for another time, everyone seemed to be getting nervous and on edge about something. It was not safe, that much she knew, and Rue's continued silence in her mind was a good indication there as well.
Picking up a blue tile the sun trainee basically said <******** it if there was any pattern to be had, she had no clue and they couldn't repeat words or anything, so she grabbed one and slapped it down in place. Her eye then turned to look at Harrison and Rep, wondering if she'd done it right. "Sommin' like this? Jus' place s**t an' hope fer the best? If that's all we gotta do then Ah'm game." She backed up and waited for her next partner to place something, ready for another round.
Hopefully no one was going to die from this, dying because of a puzzle would be one of the more shitty ways to go.

Jerry stared at Alpha One for a few moments before shaking his head, "Honestly, Jordan. 'Who knows greek!' I think... I think we just need ... I don't know a way to organize them and keep track is all. Here," At least busying himself stooping over what was left of the glyphs kept him occupied, one eye squinting to compensate for the sad state of his spectacles. "There. For what good it does!" He huffed, motioning to the two piles of colored tiles. "Here at the top are ones used in the other color. And at the bottom are the ones in black already. I don't know if... repeat symbols will mess anything up or anything but now at least we can keep track and just use any repeats at the end, right?" That said, he picked up one red and one blue tile at random and placed them accordingly.

Jordan frowned, still studying the pattern. He shook his head slightly. "The only thing I'm seeing is that THETA can also be placed," he said. "I'm not coming up with anything obvious for the rest of it, but maybe someone else will." He grimaced, clearly unhappy with the admission. "Or maybe it just needs one or both of the words placed." He picked up three tiles and laid them out in sequence. "We don't have enough time to think it through too extensively," he said, half to himself.
