Oops, no time for cards! The reaper tucked away all her items. “Ah well, maybe later?” She offered, and gave a nod to Aymet as he reappeared. She wasn’t sure why, but when she stared at Aymet and Amrita…she felt like she was forgetting something really important about the two of them. Not one to be shown up, or to appear lazy, Jack forbid, Hel ran up the stairs to the next floor once the door was unlocked, and groaned. “MORE KEYS!” She exclaimed. But Hel was a go getter, so she immediately bust through one of the nearest black doors.
Only to be blinded by spot light.
“SONOFABIT—“
Hel tried squinting out, until her eyes adjust anyways, and it was then she realized that she was on stage and apparently it was her turn.
Oh s**t…what?
She stared out at the crowd, which was a bunch of gargoyles, huh…and she needed to perform…? With wha---
Suddenly her hands were on a loom, and she was weaving something faster than she ever had in her entire life. Time was of the essence after all. Clack, clack, clack went the loom as she whizzed through row after row of material. Despite being focused on the task at hand, she could feel that she had her audience’s complete attention, and soon enough the clacking of the loom was drowned out by the sound of applause. Oh, okay. It was alright, because Hel finished then too.
We won’t ask how she managed to weave a scene of her and her party climbing up a violet tower with a decorative key border.
The reaper stepped back, and was rather pleased and proud and drinking in the praise, oh look, they even made it rain confetti for her! Soon enough, she was saddled with a plastic crown, a plaque, and a key.
The reaper came strolling out of the door, and took the plastic crown off of her head, and plopped it right on top of Merope’s.
She then waved her black key for the group to see.

Amrita stooped to grab the key - surprised to find something else stuck to it too - and headed out the door, Misty Wrath dragging along the ground behind her. She had a few scratches on her, a strange light ooze leaking from the cuts on her cheek and arms, clothing torn here and there from the tearing claws of the Raven.
"That wasn't so bad!" She tried to sound cheerful, holding up her golden key.

Merope looked up as Hel approached him, curious. "What are you --" The crown silenced him, and in an awed sort of way he reached up to touch it. Immediately he felt special, as if the crown conveyed a bit of the pride the reaper had upon earning the key. "Thank you."
He stepped forward, holding alot his key. "I think we're ready for the next one."

Hel flashed a thumbs up and a grin at Merope, and once again, shot up the stairs and burst through a blue door this time...because she heard her voice behind it, and that just wasn't right.

You are fighting a version of yourself from Legacy: Part I! HP: 30 Auto-damage: 5
Hel stilled as she entered the room, wary for the first time in a while, as the fog permeated the room, as well was whispers. The only object of interest was the mirror, which she approached, and she let out a gasp as a figure appeared.
Her...from when she first started...Hel was apparently too stunned at seeing herself without any distinct characteristics, so she was slow to react as it lunged at her.

Coming back to her senses, Hel snapped out of it and tried to shake the reflection off.

Okay, she needed to quit letting herself get caught up in stupid stuff! This part of her was done and over with! It didn't need to be standing before her, getting the best of her! With a snarl, Hel pushed her reflection off of her, and took a swipe at it.

Merope responded to Hel's thumbs-up with one of his own. He moved forward into the room towards the wall, intended to lean against it before he stopped to look.
There was something about the light that came from beneath the dark door that lured him closer, that made him go through the door and enter. He stopped inside the door, suddenly unsure of himself before the occupant ushered him in and made a request.
"Well, I --" He stammered as the gargoyle gestured him closer towards the window. With an unsure glance Merope reached out to touch the window, drawing his hand back in wonder as it rippled and changed.
Gone went the purple sky and grey clouds, darkening and sinking into a blue that grew darker and darker still. Fish darted away from the window as it seemingly sank deeper and deeper still, the blue faded to black.
After a spell of darkness faint prinpricks of light blossomed and grew larger; a mimicry of a star-lit sky. The lights grew brighter still, illuminating all matter of sunken ships filled with the gleam of forgotten treasure.
Creatures, both large and small lit themselves with glowing markings in a variety of colors and shapes silently glided from place to place as if flying, fins spread and moving ever so gracefully.
Merope pressed up against the window, panged with homesickness until the view bubbled and disappeared, returning to the purple sky once again.
The boil's sigh echoed the gargoyle's own as he took the offered key, emerging from the room with a key dangling from his claws.

Yeah, she definitely didn't need to deal with this anymore. With another snarl she whipped her weapon around her in a large arc, sweeping her reflection across the room and tearing into it. She grinned, pleased as she saw it start to lose its form.

With one last snarl, Hel whipped her weapon around again before the reflection could make a come back.

"GIVE ME THE KEY!" Someone was impatient. She ended up cleaving her reflection in half, and her hand snapped out to grab the reflection by its blue core, which, ironically enough, shifted into a blue key. Hel was left holding onto the key as the enemy dissipated, and she released a breath. Damn, that mirror dished out some damage! Hopefully everyone else was fairing well...
Hel returned to the main room, and waved her blue key. She noted Merope's black key, and grinned. "Next floor, here we come!" She cried, pumping a fist into the air.

Another floor, another door. Merope chose the blacker than black door, shying away from the one with the soft clinking of coins. He already had his shiny treasure thank you very much!
Within, Merope found himself faced with the gargoyle in all black. The undead left puddles as he entered the blacker than black room, self conscious of the glow that brought a little bit of light into such a dark place.
He opened his mouth, unable to stop what came out.
"I was told if your ship wasn't coming in, To swim out to it, swim out to it. But what's left when it's a has been? When you're too late and time won't permit?
You flail and struggle, splish and splash, And realize too late you're sinking, And you can do nothing more but thrash? Do you stare up at it full of wishful thinking?
As down, down, down to the depths you go, Your hand reaching, reaching for light, That last sparkle of a fading glow, Do you lie and claim it's all right?
When the crushing darkness seizes, Squeezing the last bubbles from your lungs, Your thoughts slow and begin to freeze...s, As if speaking in different tongues,
You let go and tell yourself it's all right, it's all right. I'll sink to the bottom with you, The darkness is just comforting night, As your final thoughts subdue."
The gargoyle had turned away from him after the first stanza to stare bleakly out the window. Merope glared at his back, his glow akin to a burning ember as he snatched the key and stomped out to where the others waited.

Doesn't count towards what we need since Merope's two hands are already using two black keys!

KEY COUNT: Amrita: Purple, Yellow Hel: Purple, Black, Blue Merope: Purple, Black, Black, Black Aymet: Purple, Red Clara: Purple, Black

Amrita hung back, watching Merope both enter and exit one of the black - too black - rooms. When he stomped back out he looked definitely more angry than he had when he wandered in, and as a memory bubbled to the surface of him in a similar mood, she began to look uncomfortable.
"Hey Buddy, you okay?" She was hesitantly concerned; after all, this was Merope, who killed a version of himself because he could, and several other weaker things for the exact same reason. Who was to say that she wasn't weaker than he was? She didn't have a clear memory of him in action, and was a little apprehensive with the idea of What If. With this new mood of his she found herself tiptoeing around him, not wanting to spark his ire, just in case.
She caught the door before it could swing closed, peeking in out of pure curiousity. What she saw was nothing but black, the decor in the room depressing at best and downright miserable at it's decent.
There was a gargoyle there, and before she could explain that she wasn't there to use him, because she wasn't that kind of creature, she realized something else was tumbling out of her mouth.
Diligent Study, Overcome by many Hunters Life is Suffering.
What...? Where did this come from?!
I am completely Lost in this very difficult world. When will I be found?
Depression began to set in, filling her unbeating heart and making her chest feel almost claustrophobic with heavyness.
I know that I have So many different faces which of them is me?
The Gargoyle gave up the key with one final dig, and Amrita left with her so-called prize in hand. Her shoulders stooped forward, her head bowed and her gaze on the ground. Well, now she knew why Merope reappeared from the room in the mood that he did.
