sometimes your mind wanders when it really shouldn't.

Playing treasure hunt with a body in an old mansion. It's kind of like one of those really corny horror movies, huh? Never thought I'd be in one.

I could take a zombie. They wouldn't stand a chance! Vampire? That might be tricky... Werewolf? Why are werewolves bad? Wolves aren't bad if you leave them alone. Those movies are dumb.

...I wonder if Yuffie will do something to scare us...

I might smack her if she does. That's just too much!

...If he's been sleeping all this time, is he a vampire? ...Could be tricky. What was that clue again?

Do tea kettles have rays, too?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

A design, or something like that, maybe. But it may be something else instead.

[auncyenhalig.livejournal.com]

It's missing both, the tea and the ray.

[Sigh. Clarity, Aerith.]

Tell me all the clues from the beginning.

[auncyenhalig.livejournal.com]

[ you expect clarity from a daydreaming person? pah. though Aerith does refocus a bit. ]

The first clue was "The lid of the box with the most oxygen." We got that one. Now we're on this one. "Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray." Then we just have to find a creak somewhere in the floor (I'm surprised there aren't creaks everywhere!) and take the right number of steps. And we already have the last number, it was hidden right on the note.

[Ami's head is clear at all times - except when it's clouded by emotion. Those are times that frustrate her.]

I don't know about tea, but couldn't the rest, ivory and ray, be the shorter wires of a piano at the higher notes?

[auncyenhalig.livejournal.com]

Hm? There is a piano here... oh, ivory keys! That must be it, we're on the right track! Thanks!

[ And there seems to be a short "break" as she's distracted from her thoughts to suggest to the others that they check out the piano, but Ami can easily get her attention back. ]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

You should thank me properly.

[auncyenhalig.livejournal.com]

Hm? I did say thanks...how do you mean?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

How about winning in my name on my behalf?

[auncyenhalig.livejournal.com]

It's not really a game! Just because that scientist wrote it up as one...

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Either way, you need to figure this out quickly, don't you? What else did he say?

[auncyenhalig.livejournal.com]

The second number was right behind the piano. We've already got the first and the last, so once we've got the one by the creak... Well, we'll see! The next step is in the safe.

[ --yeah Aerith is going to go ~mysteriously~ absent for a while. Because there is a boss fight waiting in the safe. :DDD ]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[She waits a moment before trying.]

Aerith. Did you wake up?

[auncyenhalig.livejournal.com]

[ Nope. She was already awake. And it is going to take longer than a minute for Aerith to get back. When she does, it's with the mental equivalent of a sigh: ]

...I don't think that was him... right? But I'd like to know how a big old monster fits in a safe to start!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

You're imagining it. [It's technically true.]
