As you step into the dungeon you notice it's not very...dungeony. Rather, it's very brightly colored and decorated. "Oh,hello!" a cheerful voice greets you. "I'mVaiva,welcometomydungeon!" The vibrantly thick woman giggles, though you think you see a flash of something...dark...in her eyes.
She looks so kind and motherly that you may not have noticed her little slip and simply make your way deeper into the dungeon.

You turn to leave but before you get more than a few steps, several women come out of the door leading to the next floor.
The first one to approach gives you a critical once over. "Yo. Name's Prisca. I run the Red Floor and the Sneks." As she stalks away to make room for her sister, you're pretty sure she mumbles something that sounds like "Cute little bastards..."
Next comes a rather...fiery looking woman who seems to be calm. Too calm. Seriously, way too calm.
"I'm Sienna. I manage the Orange Floor, and the Rat Beasts," she said before rolling her shoulder in an elegant shrug.

As Sienna slinks off, her lemon yellow sister bounces into her place.
"Ohhh my gosh! You're so cuuuuute! I bet you make it all the way past Beyza!! I wouldn't count on making it past Asra, thought. She's like, got the permanent munchies, ya know?" Lemon girl's feathers flutter as she giggles and looks you over, licking her lips disturbingly. "OH RIGHT! I'm Xanthe! I run the Yellow Floor, and the Furbolds! They're so cute and cuddly, aren't they?" She sighs wistfully as she skips off.
As you stare off in Xanthe's direction, something that smells like limes seeps into your space. When you look in front of you again, there's a neon green slime girl standing there.
"Hiya~! I'm Thanh! I run the Green Floor and the Sliiiiimes! They're all my best friends!" She beams at you and reaches out, taking your hands in hers. "So glad you're here! Hope you have fun!"

It takes a moment, but Thanh finally gets her hands unstuck from yours. Unfortunately, you're left with a layer of green slime that won't come off and the scent of lime won't go away. While you're busy scrubbing your hands on your shirt, another sister walks up.
"U-um...hi...I'm Nilima." She looks really nervous. "I uh... I'm not sure how I got here, really, but I run the Blue Floor and the Oozers." She leans in closer and whispers to you, "I'm not qualified for this!!"
Nilima darts off, hiding behind Xanthe. When you turn back, there's suddenly another sister in front of you.
"Well, hello there," she says lazily. "I'm Iolanthe. I run the Violet Floor and the Dollops." She sighs, bored, and leans closer to whisper conspiratorially. "Bring me sweets and I'll let you pass unscathed~"

As you shudder from Iolanthe's departure, a bright pink girl stops in front of you. She looks soft and kind, much like her mother, but there's a sharpness in her eyes...
"Pleased ta meetcha~ I'm Kamala. I run the Pink Floor and the Crocodile Tears." She smirks and though it seems like a nice expression there's something...wrong about it. "See you real soon~" she snickers as she swishes off.
Sharp clicks against the stone floor announce the next sister's approach. She looks...normal. And irritated.
She stops in front of you and sticks her hand out. As you shake, she speaks. "I'm Hari. I run the Brown Floor and the Snrets. Not many make it to my floor." She shrugs. "You probably won't, either." With a dismissive wave, she stalks off.

Once Hari's out of the way, a darker sister swaggers up to you with what looks like a very sharp and pointy weapon slung over her shoulders.
"So. You're the fresh meat," she said with a feral grin. "I'm Liadan. I run the Gray Floor and the Wig Lizards." You tried, but she catches your stifled snicker and leans in real close to your face. "Don't laugh. Wig Lizards can be pretty brutal, man."
You keep an eye on Liadan as she leaves, wary of that blade. You turn back just in time to watch an ethereal woman practically float up to you.
She gives you a discerning once over before sniffing distastefully. "I am Beyza of the White Floor and keeper of the Diafollicles. I will not see you again." Without a backward glance, she leaves to stand with her sisters.

You bristle as Beyza walks past you, but what comes next makes you cold.
"Aaasraaa," she breathes. "Asra hungry... Dungeon Crawlers tasty... Eat you now?" She reaches for you, moving as you move despite having no eyes. You look around, but her sisters make no move to save you. You turn back and Asra is closer still. Her mouth begins to get impossibly wide...
"Asra!No," came the sharp voice of Vaiva, wings flared behind her darkest daughter. "TheCrawlersarenotforeating,sweetheart," she said, her voice turning soothing as Asra turns toward her.
"Hungry...so hungry, Mother," the blind girl groans. Vaiva casts a glaring look at Beyza who simply shrugs her ivory shoulders.
Asra heaved a long and loud sigh but trudged back toward the door and into the darkness. Beyza followed her, and after that so did the rest of the sisters.
"Well!I'mterriblysorryaboutthat,dear.Youknowhowsiblingssquabble.Thetwinsmusthavehadsomekindofdisagreementbeforecomingup." She waffles her hand in the air as if brushing off the fact that you were almost eaten.
You go to walk past Vaiva, but the way her eyes follow you is a little unnerving.
You make it into the hallway that leads to the first floor when you hear something.
"Psst, hey!" You stop and whirl around to see a pair of women holding torches in the darkness.
"Yo. I'm Reida that's Candenari." She seems brusque and waves off your attempt to ask if they're related to the others.
"Before you ask, we're leftovers from the previous residents. I don't know if they even know we're still here!" Candenari titters and shushes herself.
Reida rolls her eyes. "Point being, we'll help you when we can, okay? Go have fun." She made quote signs in the air with her fingers when she said the last word.
Reida sighs. "This part always bores Candenari so she's off doing something else, but I like making lists," she said and shrugged. She plucks her living book from the air and cooed to it, petting its spine until the pages fluttered open and you can see what she has written. The pages all looked chomped on and some of the multi-colored ink is splattered with what you assume is drool but the words are still legible. "Have a look. He won't bite now."
