[ 10. You open the door and find yourself standing on a seemingly endless road of rainbow loops around in dazzling colors with no barriers in sight. It’s live and die gloriously on the Rainbow Road out here, binches. A huge variety of vehicles are lined up: go-karts, bikes, pick-up trucks, a very confused horse, motorcycles, etc. It seems like someone making this might not be super familiar with your concept here, but is trying hard. As you start driving around it, you can race your fellows in good sport (or bad sport) - there’s friendly signage posted to see how many laps you’ve done, and countdown timers, all the things you’d expect. Unfortunately you’ll find each one of these vehicles is increasingly hard to control, and it might just send you careening off the edge and into endless space … and down … and down … it seems there’s no one to fish you out of it. You get the feeling that you will have to race to get out of here. If you fall, you will fall for an exceedingly long time, feeling as though someone is laughing at you, before you find yourself back in the hallway, disoriented and sore, as if you've just been in an accident - although there is no physical injury on you. If you somehow manage to win your race without falling, you will find yourself out in the hallway again, a little disoriented but vaguely prideful. If you lose your race without falling, you find yourself out in the hallway again, disoriented and motion sick. Only four minutes have passed.

they open the door, and tsuru just blinks in surprise. then points inside. ]

Whoa! This is so cool!

[dms]

Whoa! We can come here?! I thought this was just for the dead!

[preowned]

The dead?

[ oh, it's clicking. ]

Is this the place they were sent to?

[dms]

Um... sort of? It's how they came back, anyway. I'm not really sure how safe it is, though?

[preowned]

[ he's going to walk closer to the edge and peer down. ]

It looks like a far drop.

[dms]

Mm... I actually don't know what happens if you fall down? So maybe we shouldn't test it.

[preowned]

I would say we could drop something, but I don't have anything on me.

[ except his key and sword and he is

not dropping those ]

[dms]

I don't know if I have anything to drop in, either... Maybe a sticky hand? Would we even hear that land, though?

[preowned]

Depends on how far down it is.

[ he looks at the carts ]

Those are vehicles?

[dms]

Yeah, you're supposed to drive them to the end. Someone def rode a horse instead, though, so maybe that's still an option.

[preowned]

... do you think we can get a horse here?

[dms]

I don't see why not, if someone did it before...? We'll just have to look around a bit.

[preowned]

Although I would hope one just hasn't been alone in here.

[dms]

Maybe there were others! They probs got bored waiting around with all the other carts and wandered off. And who can blame them; this place is kind of a drag without anyone else.

[preowned]

That's true.

Although I suppose most places would get boring after a while if you're alone, no matter how interesting it's built to be.

[dms]

Fair enough! I don't think they could have gone far, though... There isn't really anywhere to go here, except following the road.

[preowned]

Do you think it goes on forever?

[dms]

No, it's supposed to be a race, so it's got to end somewhere.

...I think? You never know with this hotel.

[preowned]

... want to find out?

[dms]

...As long as we don't fall!

[preowned]

We can be extremely careful.
