[battling]

Really nothin' to this place, huh?

[It's so full of nothing.]

Are people into this?

[stillnot]

... I don't think anyone is "into" anything this place does.

[battling]

The free pasta door is weird, not terrible.

[He will start walking around.]

[stillnot]

The one with the snake that bites you?

[ sir?? but she is following along beside him ]

[battling]

Only if you don't eat. It's weird.

[stillnot]

It's a good way to make sure no one goes hungry, I guess.

[battling]

Seems like the restaurant is doin' a good job of that on its own.

[stillnot]

The restaurant doesn't punish you if you don't eat.

[battling]

As far as we know.

[stillnot]

[ you know what good point. ]

... I don't really want to test it.

[battling]

Good choice.

[He's just wandering around.]

How's there so little in this one?

[stillnot]

I don't know, but it's... Creepy.

[ greyscale is depressing, it turns out. she feels... very depressed here... ]

[battling]

[He glances back at her.]

Is there somethin' about yer clothes?

[De-saturating?]

[stillnot]

[ she looks down... but because the rest of their surroundings are monochrome, any color still seems pretty vivid to her. she doesn't have a keen eye for this kind of thing. ]

What about them?

[battling]

[Bradley, who made some of his living on being able to very quickly asses colors and jewels-]

They seem less bright.

[stillnot]

What, like this place is... Stealing their colors, too?

[ hmm. she squints at bradley trying to see if she can tell colors are fading. but again, has no eye for this. she can kind of see it, but it's slow enough that she can't tell if it's just her imagination. ]

[battling]

If it's missin' it's color, maybe it's tryin' to take from us.

[Bradley takes a moment to stare intently at his jacket sleeve, which does seem to be draining color, bit by bit.]

[stillnot]

[ okay you know what - after a couple more seconds it's so noticeable that even she can spot the difference. hmmm... bad! ]

Shouldn't this place be getting more colorful, then?

[battling]

Two people might not be enough for it. If you're starved then you're gonna take everything ya can until you're full.

[But it also means it might eat too fast and throw them back out.]

[stillnot]

[ this is concerning because she does feel weirdly drained, which makes it hard to fight back. not that she knows how to fight back to begin with. ]

... So we should get out of here.

[battling]

Yeah. There's no door.

[As far as he can tell going into these doors don't induce death, but they can be deeply unpleasant.]

[stillnot]

Great.

[ eugh. she doesn't feel great and doesn't want to bother saying it but her expression definitely shows it. ]

[battling]

[He wobbles a little before sitting down.]

Hey.

[He reaches out for her hand.]

Can ya feel this?

[stillnot]

[ she touches his hand? but hey if he's sitting, she's gonna sit too. ]

... Kind of cold.

[battling]

[He's breathing in slowly, like he's not even entirely sure he's doing it.]

Weird. Weird door.
