Catríona: "Hired by the Caranus deities to assassinate unsavory sorts who would threaten the well-being of our solar system. Lord Parjanya has requested me to find and strike down Ahulane Xensor Snow, leader of the Creed of Dlyvrogar, who supposedly resides within this building."
Leah: "So the rumours are true?!"
Catríona: "That it is. As for the question of others here… I would not know the answer to that."

"What. That's too many names and words happening at the same time. You know what, I don't even know anymore," she said, storming off into the next room.

Leah: "Wait up!"
Leah hurries after Meridian. The room is full of old rotten carcasses of what may have been draconic creatures in life. There is no sign of any danger in the room, but it's best to remain on guard.
Catríona walks towards the elevator as the Illusion Beast's corpse dissolves into dust.

"Guh... everything here is just... it doesn't sit well. I mean, what am I saying, these are corpses for crying out loud."
Meridian approaches the door at the other end of the room.

As Meridian and Leah approach the door, a nasty-looking grin appears on the door. Hostile intent is evident. Leah picks up a bone from one of the corpses nearby and tosses it at the door. The door devours the bone entirely. It still has a nasty grin on its… face?
Leah: "Okay, this is getting even weirder."

"You hungry or something?"

The door devours the bones entirely. It has a much nastier grin on its face (or whatever passes as a "face") now.
Leah: "This is unnerving…"

After several moments, Catríona enters the room and walks over to the group.
Catríona: "That elevator will not permit me to go down or up. So I am stuck here for the time being."
Leah: "So how do you open this thing?"
Catríona pulls out a revolver and shoots the door! (-3 HP) Catríona shoots the door! (-5 HP) Catríona shoots the door! (-4 HP) Catríona shoots the door! (-2 HP) Catríona shoots the door! (-7 HP) Catríona shoots the door! (-6 HP)
The door dies!
Catríona: "A lever? I believe I saw one in the room I came in from… but I did not check it out."

Meridian pulls the lever.
...
Other than Catríona reloading her revolver, nothing happens.
Leah: "You mentioned a lever in another room…?"
Catríona: "I suppose this means you want me to check it out?"

Catríona: "Very well. Patience is a--"
The lever snaps back to its original position.
Catríona: "Hm. So these run on a timer, I imagine. Which means both levers must be pulled simultaneously, which would be tricky without a form of communication. And these walls are quite thick, so we cannot knock on the walls to signal one another from the two rooms."
Leah enters the room, and pulls the lever, holding on to it so that it doesn't snap back.
Catríona: "Or that. I will be off, then."
Catríona leaves the room.

"...honestly, I'm not entirely sure," Riddy said, walking over to put her hand on the lever, next to Leah's own hand.
"There's just something that doesn't sit right with me for anything that has happened so far. And I can't quite tell why that is. I don't know if it's just me going crazy or something."
She squatted down on the floor. "Even though the first time we met was in that... simulation thing... was it true? Your parents?" She shifted slightly and averted her gaze, trying to avoid saying it directly.

Leah: "You mean Mom and Dad being serial killers? To be honest, I'm not sure myself. Are the memories I had in that world real, or fake? If they are fake, what happened to the real memories? Were they completely erased? Or… is this a simulation as well, within a simulation of a simulation? Or perhaps a bad dream with a few good parts… I don't know what's real and what's not. But that's the issue of having memories tampered with, I suppose."

Meridian leans over into the other room and notices that a part of the wall is now... open. Huh. "Wait here, let me check it first."
