[Trapezohedron]

Hey! It has a lot of useful skills, like...

Starting a fire!
Roasting Marshmallows!
Igniting the beaker!
and...

Alright, it doesn't have a ton of nice skills...

[Karnewarrior]

All the elements are balanced, don't worry.

The game starts tomorrow.

[EveryZig]

So I guess the poll says our element will be spirit anyway?

[Karnewarrior]

It looks to be so.

Spirit will be hard to awaken but so, so worth it.

[Johnfalcon99977]

But did you know that fire also includes !!MAGMA!! ?

[Loud Whispers]

But did you know that fire also includes !!MAGMA!! ?

Wouldn't magma's jurisdiction fall under Earth? And lava to fire?

[kaian-a-coel]

!!MAGMA!! belongs to Fire, because it burn. duh.
!!MAGMA!! belongs to Water, because it's liquid (in fact, water from ocean crust cause continental crust to melt and turn into magma)
!!MAGMA!! belongs to Earth, because it is molten rock.
!!MAGMA!! belongs to Air, because it is full of gas that alterate the atmospheric composition, and gas alterate magma behaviour (more gas mean more explosive)
!!MAGMA!! belongs to Spirit, because it is powerful enough to be venerated as god's blood.
!!MAGMA!! belongs to Dark, because it form in the darkness of the earth's deeps.
!!MAGMA!! belongs to Light, because it emit bright light.

!!MAGMA!! is everything.

[Karnewarrior]

Right, right. Edgar Goshawk. You were a Veteran of the Gulf War but now you are... were? A chemist. Not a particularly good one, but well enough to supplement your checks from the U.S Military.

The far too familiar stench of death fills your nostrils as you bumble about the dark room, looking for a light switch. You find one, and the room is bathed in light from a bare lightbulb hanging in the corner. The first things you see are the bodies, in various states of decay. You manage not to throw up, but you're still uncomfortable looking at them. Somewhat less uncomfortable, although still very disturbing, are the Hammer and Sickle insignias everywhere. Wherever you are, there are soviets about.

Considering that the USSR dissolved a long time ago, this would be a problem.

There's also a plain door set into the wall, like in an old bunker. It seemes to be missing it's handle, but it should be simple enough to reach through the hole and open. Or you could just kick it down.

You'll want to bury these poor dudes though. Ones been here long enough to become a skeleton.

[Loud Whispers]

The first things you see are the bodies, in various states of decay.

Is Edgar feeling hungry?

[EveryZig]

Check to see whether the bodies have remains of uniforms (and if they have more hammers and sickles on them).
Also check whether you happen to be covered in blood or not.

[Karnewarrior]

You check for uniforms. The older ones seem like soviets, but the newer ones are civilian. They probably got themselves stuck in here somehow and starved.

Speaking of which, you should get out of here before you join the Reds. You'd really like to avoid joining the United Front with them.

[mcclay]

Kick down the door like a boss.

[Trapezohedron]

Edgar: Do something quack doctor-y and harness Vitae by torturing the corpses and collecting the drippings... wait what? Torture... corpses?

Just get a chunk of their flesh and stuff it in something like a plastic bag. You never know when you need to make a stench gas bomb.

[Silleh Boy]

No, do not kick the door down.

You're in an unfamiliar area, in what appears to be something of a dumping ground for bodies.
The fact you believe you can kick down the door or open it, yet these people apparently did not do the same suggests that there's more to this than simple popping the door open and walking off.

Check the bodies as best you're able for anything usable, weapons, tools - even a swiss army knife's better than nothing.
It may be nauseating, but your primary concern here's suvival and gathering information to make said survival possible until you've got a better picture of what's going on here.

Listen at the door, control your breathing, keep quiet and see if you can pick up anything that would suggest you're not alone.
Do NOT put your hand through any opening you haven't checked yourself first.
Poke something else through it, wiggle it about cautiously, see if there's any traps.
Try and find something else ideally to poke through to open the door, be quiet, if the hinges suggest that it opens inward, brace yourself against it incase somebody attempts to kick it open, if it opens outwards, be ready to get out the way if it's swung open.

If possible, keep as much of a wall between your body and the outside as you can, not the door.

Until you're aware of what's going on, how much danger you're in, needless risks are going to get you into trouble.

[Karnewarrior]

You decide to take this cautiously, considering the odd circumstances.

Some of the older Soviet corpses have small arms weapons, but the ammo is spent. You don't see any casing anywh-

No, there are the casings... With the bullets themselves lying right next to them. Ordered neatly into rows. This is just scary, and that's all you can say about it.

The door doesn't look trapped, but it does open outwards, so it's a good thing you didn't try to kick it down. You would have gotten your foot stuck, and probably shredded your leg punching a useless hole in the door. You open it using the hole the knob was supposed to go in.

There is rust on the floor, almost perfectly shaped into a knob. Something here is not right.

The hall is dimly lit. More Soviet insignias dominate the hallway, along with propaganda posters. You're getting more and more certain you're not in America anymore. There's more doors along the hall. Oddly enough, they all have knobs in, almost completely untarnished steel. The doors are completely solid, too. More solid than the one you left, so you're not kicking these ones down.

You notice a syringe on the floor. It's empty, but there's some sort of residue inside.
