I figured I'd check the basement, to see if there might be something to help me, maybe even a way out. I can't believe how foalish I was.
Twilight moved as quietly as she could down the halls. It took some time, but eventually she found the door to the basement. Twilight was confused when she saw that the door was adorned with more locks and chains then even Nekozombie's. What don't you want me to find Gregory? Twilight wondered. The door's defenses, mind boggling to most, barely even registered as an inconvenience to Twilight. A simple spell and the chains all hit the floor. Twilight opened the door, but could see nothing of the room behind the wall was darkness. Twilight suddenly became hesitant at the sight of the void. Determined to see what was inside, Twilight lit up her horn, and pushed inside. The door slammed shut behind Twilight after she entered. It should have surprised her, as she seemed to be alone, but she was getting used to the reasonless-ness of Gregory House. All the more reason to hurry, She thought. Try as she might, Twilight couldn't brighten the room to see anything beyond an inch in front of her face. Then she heard a rather chilling, and at the same time childishly disarming, giggle. Suddenly tiles on the floor began to glow, illuminating the room. Twilight looked around, realizing that the floor was essentially a giant game board. "Sin me! Spin me!" Twilight spun around to see a young boy, smiling at her innocently. Aside from the large roulette wheel on his head, he looked relatively normal. Based on her appearance, Twilight assumed that this was the 'Roulette Boy' that she'd heard the other guests talking about. She suddenly became wary of the boy, remembering the fear with which the other guests spoke of him. "Spin me! Spin me!" Roulette Boy chimed again. "Do you mean you want me to spin the wheel?" Twilight asked. Roulette Boy nodded as best he could without tipping his wheel. "Why?" Twilight asked suspiciously. Roulette Boy frowned, "Spin me!" he pleaded. The was an heir of urgency in his voice, like he was afraid of Twilight not spinning the wheel. She wondered what he thought would happen if she didn't, but then it occurred to her that, in this place, something bad probably could happen if she didn't spin the wheel. Not wanting to risk being the cause of anyone's pain, Twilight spun the wheel. It landed on the number four. "Now move four spaces!" Roulette Boy said enthusiastically. At first, Twilight didn't understand, then she realized that he meant the tiles. Twilight was unsure, sometime ago, she might have had the good sense not to do it, but she stepped forward three spaces. The tile flashed the word FIRE and Twilight's entire body was engulfed in flame. Twilight put it out in less than a second with her magic, but her nerves were shot. "Spin me! Spin me!" Twilight looked at Roulette Boy. She briefly contemplated blasting him and running, but she was smarter than that. Even if she got a direct hit, the game would go on. She didn't have it in her to kill him. So she spun again.
WATER. TWISTER. PLAQUE. COUGH. LIGHTNING. SAFE. MAGIC. LAVA. SAFE. CUT. CRUSH. CHOKE. SAFE. It went on for hours. By the time Twilight reached the end, she was in more pain than she could even remember being in. she fell to the floor, now just a floor, bleeding slowly. She could tell she was probably bleeding on the inside too. Perhaps she had a collapsed lung. She'd broken too many parts of her to even attempt standing up. It occurred to her that, damaged as she was, she could very well die. Before she could think to deeply about it though, she heard the door open. "Oh no!" Twilight groaned in pain as she was lifted onto a stretcher. "Don't worry my dear, your safe now. I'll take you to Katherine." She couldn't remember where she'd heard the name, but Twilight couldn't imagine how she could make things worse.
