Dark Veil (Roleplay)

[cannedcommunism]

We walk up a few more steps, and eventually come to a large Sphinx statue. It was a sitting lion with a woman's face and large eagle wings. There is no door. "Is this…it?"

 

[Beary]

"We probably have to answer a riddle..." I say.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I follow the others cautiously as they figure out what we have to do.

 

[PurplPanda]

Standing by Alex, I say to the Sphinx, "Well?"

 

[FireNinja1]

"He don't talk, you moron!"

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

Hovering in the air, I follow the others over to a giant sphinx. I wonder how we're supposed to get in?

 

[Beary]

"A riddle?" I suggest again, impatiently.

 

[PurplPanda]

Ignoring Taylor, I walk to Misa and stand by her. "Any ideas?"

 

[Beary]

"Argh..." I grit my teeth. Nobody will listen!

 

[FireNinja1]

"What happens if we just tear the thing to shreds?"

 

[PurplPanda]

"Wonderful idea, Taylor. Let's just tear the thing apart, and not get in. Perhaps there is a riddle." I say.

 

[Beary]

"It'll probably kill you, which I have no problems with..." I mumble under my breath.

 

[FireNinja1]

"Wonderful idea, Taylor. Let's just tear the thing apart, and not get in. Perhaps there is a riddle." I say.

Not sensing the sarcasm, I start tearing away.

 

[Beary]

"Taylor you moron! Stop!" I say, as razor sharp claws lash out at him.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I face palm at Taylor's stupidity, sharing a look with Fein. What a moron.

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

"Maybe we could try to use magic? Obviously tearing it apart would be a bad idea, it might make the whole thing collapse, and if there's a riddle for s dissolve it doesn't seem to have presented it..."

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

"Magic? Yeah, I will help with that." I say, spinning my new staff.

 

[Beary]

( I'll be the sphinx )

The sphinx suddenly opens its eyes, and yawns.

"What opens at the close
What is drowned in souls
Run by a man
As dark as night
Eternal doom
And eerie light"

 

[PurplPanda]

"Maybe we could try to use magic? Obviously tearing it apart would be a bad idea, it might make the whole thing collapse, and if there's a riddle for s dissolve it doesn't seem to have presented it..."

I look back at Alex, and mouth the words, "I've never met someone who was such an idiot." I then turn to Misa and say, "Try it."

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

About to raise my staff, I notice the Sphinx yawning. "Look," I say, pointing to it.
