[don't forget brain problems. anyway she catches on pretty quickly and immediately turns around to try to find the door back but i assume that's not possible.]
[ It Is Just More Hallways. cloud watches her run around and frowns ]
You're going to exhaust yourself.
[ well, he says that, but he is also grabbing the stupid giant sword from his back and trying to stab at the wall, like that will help any if he makes his own door.
the wall says no stabbing and cloud just staggers like a loser ]
[ slaps the sword back to his back. fucking magnets, how do they work. and then he looks at her with a raised eyebrow ]
I'm not carrying you if you pass out. [ he would. he is a sap. ] There's no point rushing. I don't think the hallways are going to stop spawning if we manage to take them by surprise.
If it was a matter of picking the correct door, probability would suggest we'd have done it once by now and noticed the difference. But perhaps there's an order we're meant to follow. Or some sort of hidden door...?
Alright. We should try opening them at the exact same time, and then one after another. Might tell us something.
[ so he'll go to the door closest to where she is! surely! surely this will do Something and is not completely futile. where is their convenient walkie-talkie for clues from god. this is a terrible escape room. ]
[ together, they kick it open! it's still a hallway. but wait, when they step through this time, cloud pauses as he looks around. ]
... Are we... back where we started?
[ this is a genuine question. is this the initial hallway or more hallway. he can't tell anymore. is this slightly different or is he hallucinating out of desperation? ]

Fuck. It's a trap, isn't it?
no subject
cloud is immediately moving to open another door to look. it is in fact. just more hallway. ]
The hell kind of trap is infinite hallways?
[ maybe if he tries opening all the doors in this hallway one of them will lead to a non hallway? the answer is no. ]
no subject
[she's just going to try running to open door after door as quickly as possible.]

[she already seems exhausted, she's super frail.]

no subject
[stubbornly.] And I won't. [she would.] But you are right. There must be a trick to it.
no subject
[ wouldn't that be logical? cloud heads into a new hallway with closed doors ]
It's entertainment, so maybe we should be thinking of it as messed up game rules.
no subject
[she'll start feeling around the wall.]
no subject
Order might be it. Maybe next time we open the door we try to listen for a click.
[ all good puzzles make a noise when it's the right choice. that's the jrpg logic. ]
no subject
What if we open two doors at once and see if we spot any differences?
no subject
[ so he'll go to the door closest to where she is! surely! surely this will do Something and is not completely futile. where is their convenient walkie-talkie for clues from god. this is a terrible escape room. ]
no subject
[opening the other door! this is useless.]
no subject
... Maybe if we both step into them, it'll be different ones...?
[ or maybe it's just more hallways. ]
no subject
no subject
So what then? Keep walking the infinite hallways and hope something changes? I doubt it'll spit us out if we stay still.
no subject
Let's...keep trying. See if we can spot a pattern, perhaps.
no subject
[ he sounds frustrated. wow, cloud, it hasn't been that long. try opening another door. i'm sure this hallway will be different. ]
no subject
no subject
[ what if he just. kicks the door. surely this will help. ]
no subject
[helping him kick it.]
no subject
... Are we... back where we started?
[ this is a genuine question. is this the initial hallway or more hallway. he can't tell anymore. is this slightly different or is he hallucinating out of desperation? ]
no subject
...Can we get back to the lobby, do you think?
no subject
[ does the door at the end of this hallway lead back to the lobby or is it another hallway? find out next time on Dragonball Z!
no, he opens it and it's the regular hotel ]
... I have no idea how we got out.
no subject
...Maybe they just became bored of toying with us.
