The door opened to the North. Sr. Culo walked cautiously into the room. It was a standard sized one and it was very, very dark. It was so dark that he could barely see the shape of the exits. There was one North, one South and one West. His eyes slowly began to become accustomed to the gloom as he paused and waited to get his bearings.

There was nothing but empty air in all directions. That was very unsettling. He looked back as the door to the North opened once more. Kane walked into the room a little hazily, followed by the rest of the group. Something didn't feel right about the room though. Why would there be one so empty? His eyes wandered and eventually rose to the upper wall. And that's when he saw it.

The mechanism up there was beginning to light up. There was a click as something extended out, followed by a whir as another shape appeared in the darkness. A green glow began to emerge from the device, revealing it to be a small metallic cylinder connected to a mechanical arm. Finally, the glow grew bigger and bigger. Culo backed away with fear in his eyes before running towards the Western exit. But it was too late.

The device blasted forth a green laser which extended down to the floor and arced along the wall, crossing Sr. Culo's neck. For a long time after the laser moved on, there was no sound. But slowly, illuminated by the green of the device, everybody watched Culo's head drop away from his body. His body slumped down, leaving a bloody trail against the doorway where it fell before collapsing on the floor, headlessly.

Nobody dared make a move as the device above continued to emit the green light. Finally, the laser shut off leaving the room in darkness once more.

Nobody said a word for a while. Finally, Rita began to speak but stopped again as something else started happening. Kane looked down at his hands which were currently surrounded by bright purple sparks. His entire body seemed to be covered with an aura of them. He looked over at the group with confusion in his eyes, visible by the light he was emitting.

"What the fuck" Said Kane.

But as he finished speaking, the world was different. He toppled forward unsteadily. The darkness was gone and the room he was stood in was very bright and airy. He fell to the floor, holding his hands out to catch himself before he did any damage. In front of him stood a strange device. Cogs were spinning in all directions, slinking away into the wall. An enormous hourglass stood behind them. Red sand was piled up along the bottom.

He took in his surroundings as he rubbed his head. Always something else. The walls were covered in creeping vines that curled around the mechanism. From where he stood, the room extended West twice the length of a normal room and South twice the length of a normal room. To the very far South was an exit. There was also an exit to the very far West. And as his gaze moved to that exit, he noticed there was another exit South of that one.

Near to where the Western exit sat, a dried up stone canal ran from North to South. The canal had iron bars on either wall to allow it to pass under. But there was no water here now. He slumped down on the floor, disoriented and feeling shitty. He'd just come back only to be tossed out somewhere different. Terrific.

It is now Phase 32. Phase 32 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.
