The fact that you are seeking help says something about you. Something more positive than you would imagine. Pride can destroy someone. So can accepting one's shortcomings.
Only those who are willing to learn and make the necessary changes can better themselves.
And only those who are willing to ask for help can become truly perfect.

Your asking for help tells me so much about you. So yes. I will help.

No, I'm not making any assumptions, I'm speaking of us who, among other things, often man the Orbs scattered throughout the multiverse in staggeringly copious amounts. And since it's we who are being offered a key, I'm commenting on how our modus operandi suggests taking the violet key.

Interesting. This tells me more about you. You are a clever one. And you are not a pushover. Still. You will be challenged. The road ahead is treacherous and dark.

Go forth now. You will find a chest. Inside, you will find some of the things you brought, but none of the things you need. You will also find instructions.

Don't thank me yet. All I did was show you the mountain. Now you will have to climb it.

You find that your mind is hazy. You have forgotten a lot of things. You don't even know your name. All you know is, that you were sent here to feel. Something for which you have been longing for a very, very long time. You think you should be scared. But alas, you feel nothing at all.

375077

You open the chest and take a look inside. You find:
A pouch;
a small, red fist made of stone;
two yellow light bulbs;
a weird, little, fleshy organ and
a sheet of paper with instructions.

The paper reads:
These are things you brought with you. They will come in handy, but you need none of them. The only thing you need, which you already have is the key. Your will, that is. It opens one of the locks on the exit. Once all the locks are open, the door will open for merely a few seconds, so be there!

You will notice that this place is both abstract and impossible.
For example, the little fist is your assertiveness. And the light bulbs are your discernment. Your assertiveness will help you in conflict. Discernment lets you create new pathways.

The heart is more important than both, but less important than the key. It is your trust. Keep it save and only give it to those who deserve it.

Finding the exit is not your only goal. You were looking for feelings. The only thing I have to offer is fear. You should also look for either another's will or another's trust. So find fear, another trust or will and open the exit and you're done. Finished.

Trust nobody lightly. Chances are, they're out to take something from you. Keep your key and trust secret from strangers.

In short:
-Collect what you can!
-Keep your will at any price.
-Find the fear you so desperately wanted.
-Be at the exit when it opens.

Good Luck.

You gather everything into the pouch. As you touch the heart, you are pretty damn sure that it moved. And that it doesn't look like any heart you have ever seen.
The key goes into the jacket's pocket. Chances are that you will have to walk a lot. And walking with a key in your shoe is bound to be uncomfortable.

You walk on and come to a sudden stop. There is a peculiar, violet wall here and you're sure it wasn't there before. Weird. It seems threatening in some way.
The key in your pocket seems to vibrate. You feel it giving you strength. Looks like you have walked right into a conflict. Think you can win?

No. 375085 ID: 46c430

Violet wall. Violet key. Yeah, I think we can win. Perhaps this is a challenge only holders of the violet key can pass? If so, we'll have to be careful of other walls. Let's get out our assertiveness too, wasn't that supposed to help in conflicts?

Yes, taking a look at the dead end sounds like a good idea indeed. You take a look and see another one of those light bulbs lying around there. Neat.
You take another step and...
you're confused. This was supposed to be a dead end, right?

In your dull confusion you try to map this out in your head. Turns out, this is completely impossible. This corridor leads to a place you have been before, while not being there. Really, really odd.
No fear yet, though.

This is when you hear the footsteps behind you.

You pick the Discernment up from the ground. Probably can't hurt to get as many of these as you can.
After that you backtrack and take a look into the corridor you came from. You still feel like all this is impossible. Very puzzling. And the footsteps have stopped, too.

Wait, so it's not exactly the numbers that signify teleports. Hm, will need to experiment a bit more later.

You turn around with your normal calm. You try to assume a neutral position that allows you to be as quick to react as possible while not seeming overly aggressive. In short: You stand just like you always do.

"Hello."

You take out your assertiveness.
"Red, on the other hand, is very good at it."

Her clothes are indeed not coloured. You are unsure what that might mean.

Since "pimpslapping Harlots" is not something you particularly enjoy, you decide to play it cool for a bit.
"And then what? Both of us would at best be wounded and let someone else finish us off. Getting out of here is more important than fighting. If we both get out, then that would be a excellent time to take care of any grudges."

"Taking care of grudges is what I came here for. So excuuuuuse me if I'll do just that, asshole."

"Look, I don't have time for this. I am trying to figure this place out. So if you don't mind I will do just that."

You notice that you didn't quite use the same word combination she has, making what little snark you put in your voice seem misplaced. However, you also fail to feel annoyed by this.

You are also stopped in your rather cool exit by the fact that you have forgot to decide in which direction to make said exit.
Even this does not fill you with even the slightest bit of discomfort or anger.

"Walkin' away, huh? Who taught you to fight? Your elementary teacher?"

You also fail to feel insulted. If there's something you are good at, it's not feeling things.
But you're sure you'd hate it if you could.

You decide to walk into the puzzling corridor instead of just back to the chest and you do so without saying another word.
As she walks after you, Becca mutters something indistinct and then walks past you in the way you came from.

You take a few steps further into the corridor and stumble over a green mask. Funny, you somehow felt that there was going to be something here. This thing looks just like the mask Becca was holding earlier. You are unsure whether to take it along.
