We were sent on a journey into a cave, to retrieve a lamp. We had precise instructions not to touch anything else. We obliged, despite temptation, making our way to the lamp room easily.
And then suddenly, we could see visions of Tiger-san in her throne room, with a dagger in her heart. Then we were back in the cave, which began to crumble around us. We rushed to escape, and then there was a voice. . .
"This battle is forfeit. Begone, Beauty. Begone, Beast." It wasn't a command directed at any of us, but presumably at whomever stabbed Tiger-san.
The exit to the cave was sealed off, and we could feel our partnerships being severed. Instinctively, we knew everyone was gone, and the game was over.
Apparently, the well just has a mind of its own. Tiger did advise me to flatter it before making a wish, though. Apparently, it's feeling unappreciated...?
But it's as you wish. My job is to ensure as many objectives are completed as possible. Should you know anyone else who needs help, don't hesitate to let me know.

And yet, there we were. Still trapped.

That's, uh, wow.
... At least now I can see why the wishing well stabbed me in the heart when I asked for info.
no subject
What information did you ask for?

When I complained that I had no idea how to interpret getting stabbed, though, Dragon said it actually told me a lot.

I can't imagine why.

Well, flattering does seem to work. As a Historian, I'm sure you'll maybe be glad to know I did achieve my objective.

There's no point in hiding it from me now.

The Swan Princess. Incidentally, I also completed my objective-- receive a heartfelt confession from someone else.
[was it Akeichi?? Belph will never know]
If you completed your first one, then you received a second objective, correct?

White Rabbit. [he smiles dryly.] My objective was to delay a trial.

Yeah, but you're not getting that one just yet, detective.

. . . I can't help you complete it if I don't know what it is.
