> A Warning.

A Thousand souls scream in unison, labored, forceful rage encompassing the massive being to the point where they can be heard, the thousand voices as a whisper.

"A Warning to you."

Metallic fingers dig into the soft flesh of the jaw, crushing through flesh and bone like stone through the soft skin of a overripe fruit.

"Should you ever touch this one again. This being which your sickly sweet voice has lied to, time. And time again. This one, which you have convinced that pain means love, and loathing is compassion. Should you EVER Touch them again."

The wrathful strength begins to pull.

The now jawless Bradley staggers out of the room, running for his life.

Awueit: A Massive security system. It's a bit lazy when it comes to actually protecting anything, so it just waits for things to wander in to prosecute them. Not good at listening to reason.

30/30 SK

AWUEIT Flail's it's tentacles around, going 'Nya' cutely, and catches NAUT offguard, dealing DAMAGE.

Dip's musical resolve bolsters the party's attacks!

NAUT SLAMS into Awueit! Their strength is bolstered! Hella damage!

>HOUSE
>APARTMENT COMPLEX(1)
>EXPERIMENTATION LAB(2)
>CAMPGROUND
>CHURCH
>WATCHTOWER
>EMPTY ISLET
>DOORWAY OF TRUTH(3)
>TUNNEL TO NOWHERE(4)
>EXIT, PAINTER SIDE
>EXIT, MAKER SIDE

Short notes are made next to certain places on the map, reading as follows:

(1) The House tends to orbit the complex, making the house one of the few non-permanent fixtures. If someone could manage to free the house from it's orbit, it could probably be used to travel.

(2) Experimentation lab suffered a breakout recently. Be on the lookout for AquaNautos, Alias NAUT. They are to be captured alive.

(3) Prisoners that are sent to the door of truth are to have the world set against them, not for them. We recently had one person figure out their truth, breaking our clean record. Up security.

(4) The Tunnel to Nowhere is NOT to be entered by any personnel! Strictly off limits! Reminder, there is a PAINTER in there, trying to get into the tower!

On the inside, the CHURCH looks more like a massive, elegant cathedral, seeming much larger on the inside than it does on the outside. Additionally, the place seems to give off some sort of unearthly vibe, as though the place is bustling with people, even though no one is here, and hasn't been for ages.

A very tall being looks over a book on the pedestal, much taller than any being has any right to be. They seem encompassed by whatever it is that they're focused on, and don't notice Sapphire.

Muttering a prayer under her breath, Sapphire takes out the seeing stone. This simple act of retrieving the seeing stone seems to attract the being's attention, causing it to stand up straight, and pick up the book in one of it's hands.

>Curator: "I'm afraid that artifact won't work in here, Madam. The church is tied intrinsically to the plane of life, and as a result, trying to view into other planes in here will only end in failure. Besides, there's nothing else to see here, other than your large friend, I suppose. You are aware they're making bunny ears with their fingers? I doubt you need two pairs of rabbit ears. What brings you here, to this Maker Forsaken place?"

Staring at the person is... difficult, in a sense, in the same way looking at a particularly taxing visual illusion is. They seem to fluctuate slightly, like smoke or a cloud, even though they're standing selectively in one place. They have a sophisticated air to them, though at the same time they seem to give off a vibe of intense strength, far greater than anything Sapphire has encountered before. Naut, on the other hand has encountered this level of strength once before, and lost... The figure seems polite enough, however.

Oh, it's the white warden. Tell him you're looking for your missing party member Shaki. He's attuned to the Virus plane, and is somewhat of a healer.

>Using that Sightstone won't work
>He can see Naut
Does he have administrator access? Or is his Sight powerful enough to get past the psychic limitations of this place.

You should retreat. He could be lying and Naut + Dip might be in danger. Still, negotiate terms. You have a crafting station and intel, and it looks like he has a targeting augmentation. Ask if he can replace your missing Worldview with something useful.

We're in a church. I doubt he'll attack unless we get on his bad side. politely talk with him.

> Curator: "Amusing! 'admin privileges'. I have nothing of the sort, and although yes, I was created with the sole purpose of observing and keeping beings within limbo, I am by no means a cruel man. If you're curious as to why I can see your friend, it's simply because unlike you, I understand the intrinsic nature of the planes and how they interlock, allowing me sight beyond sight. Vision that pierces the veil, if you will. If you wish to locate Shaki, she's most likely located within the laboratory. That is where I would go if I were a doctor, after all. Information I have no need of, and the crafting station is a crude mimicry of the things I am able to do. And we are indeed within a church! This place played host to a foul creature from beyond the White Void, for a short time. Since then it has been tainted, but I still respect it's presence."

Sapphire bows low, out of respect for this being. She hadn't said a word, and yet it summed up everything the voices had asked. Almost as though it could hear them as well.

Alright, onward to the laboratory.

He can. One thing before we go... can you give us any information on the other colored Wardens? Red seemed like a cruel man indeed, but Blue seemed very insecure and depressed yet friendly.

>Curator: "Ah, yes, the others... Originally we were meant to be a singular being, but we were split into five to assist with the process of ensuring the place was held down. I myself ended up being mostly ambivalent, somewhat orderly, so on.

>WARDEN, the red one, ended up being both very angry and very passionate. Constantly enraged with no easy outlet, they resorted to more and more cruel acts in order to justify their anger, in a sense allowing them to turn their rage inwards, towards themselves. They enjoy keeping a calm demeanor, but underneath they are roiling with rage and duty for their job.

>warden, on the otherhand was filled with both empathy and sadness. Understanding the feelings of others, intrinsically, they were filled with loathing for themselves, dropping into a steep depression. This was quite unfortunate for them.

>JAILER, the Yellow one, was filled with energy and fear. They got very good at hiding their fear, instead allowing a very random personality to emerge forward, in an attempt to disorient the beings they viewed as dangerous. No one takes them seriously, and thus no one attempts to fight them, and they prefer it this way.

>jailer, the green one, was filled with a mixture of happiness and sluggishness. They're the most amicable of the group, but also the most lazy. Very lazy. They'd probably be willing to let you out the easiest if you could convince them...

>But I didn't tell you that. After all, it's my job to keep you trapped in Limbo. Will that be all?"

Why trap people in Limbo in the first place?

What do Sapphire and Co. need to do to earn a pardon?
