The next puzzle was very quickly upon them, after they landed at Kara-nam. It was...devoid of company. No smarmy Duskmon or anything, just...them. And silence. Did this seem frightening to anyone? Because it seemed at least a little bit eerie for Akemi. Anzu, on the other hand, was not fazed in the slightest.
Such things were normal for her. A quick readover of the rules they were given and some moments of looking at each door they were presented with, along with all the stuff that Elsie and Evie just revealed...Hm. This was an interesting puzzle, considering she had zero idea what to do here.
"Well. Uh...First things first. We need someone to go with Evie, and we also need to figure out who goes with who and where. That being said, I call the left door."
...Anzu, meanwhile, was silent. Probably thinking.

Not only as an attempt of moving away from that embarrassing situation but also because of the importance they had, Katherine put all of her attention into Evie’s words. The biggest issue here had probably been picked up by everyone by now: They couldn’t trust Kara-nam if they said they’d pull their spies from Tayichi’Tai. That much was clear. So… how were they going to be able to discern if they were telling the truth or not? How were they going to make sure they actually took the spies out? That would be a certainly interesting scenario, once it arrived.
Unavoidably, seeing Elsie hide behind Jazz now cracked her up and broke all of her concentration. She laughed a lot. It was the first time she laughed like this in a while. And it was thanks to the Deeplane City Council.
Right now, Katherine was more on Elsie’s side. The whole room was unnerving, and even that word might fall short to describe it. She crossed her arms and studied the situation, while she saw the red-eyed twin make the first move, trying to outwit the puzzle. She failed at it. But it was a good try. Katherine took her time to appreciate the digimon she had turned into. Cute.
The curly-haired girl spent some more seconds thinking until she started speaking.
“I think thinking about what those numbers at each door mean right now is a waste of time. If they hold any relevance regarding what’s behind the doors, we don’t have the information right now to know what that is. So we should just pick the door we feel like.” She then made a pause as she heard Akemi chose the left one.
“I don’t know if we can send someone with Evie. It seems like only digimon can enter along with humans. Evie is a spirit wielder, so I think she’ll be okay on her own.” Katherine’s green eyes went to Elsie, looking for some reassurance in these words. “We should handle the only two digimon we have smartly. Which means, making sure they accompany humans who can’t evolve, like Akemi and I.”
“Makes sense to me.” Jazz stretched multiple times and to multiple sides as if she was doing calisthenics. “So what door are we taking?”
“You and I? None. I’m going with Anzu, and you should go with Akemi.” Katherine declared. Her voice sounding dead-serious.
Jazz shrugged. “Okay!” Why was it that she wasn’t about questioning her partner? Was it because she had no interest in it? Or could it be she had also thought it was the more convenient movement? No way to know right now.
“So... you said left, right?” The Chohakkaimon’s eyes went to Akemi now. “Then… let’s…” Jazz was done stretching and ready to go. Katherine’s eyes widened as Tayichi'Tai's flashbacks went through her head. Not again, please.
"...go!"
Surprisingly, this time Jazz approached her target delicately. And even if she did lift Akemi to carry her while she made her way towards the door at the left side of the room, she was a lot less aggressive. “Is this good enough? I don’t want to hurt you.” She muttered, while she daintily placed the human to sit over her shoulder, while they went through the door with the number 'pi' labeled on it. Apparently, carrying people around was out of the question to the pig-girl. However, she was treating Akemi a lot nicer.
Saying Katherine was shocked at this sight was a bit of an understatement. After seeing how Jazz dragged Souji and Sasha around back at Tayichi’Tai’s fortress, this had been rather… astonishing.
Apparently, Jazz had a lot of respect for Akemi.
Well... all's well that ends well, right? After wrinkling her mouth at the sight and honestly still looking a bit puzzled, Katherine turned to face Akemi’s digimon partner. “Would you like us to take the right door, Anzu?”
If the little Tsukaimon agreed and no one else had any objection, the duo would head there and enter.

As the sentient blimp made its landing, the petite russian let out a sleepy yawn as her eyes slowly opened. It would seem Sasha had...rather unceremoniously fallen asleep on the corner of the Blimpmon as soon as it had taken off. At the very least everyone aboard was kind enough to let her have a nap without any kind of interruptions, so she really couldn't complain, even though she felt she had lost a pretty crucial conversation.
Eh, not that it bothered her too much. If she really needed to catch up, surely any of the girls would tell her and that would be the end of that. For now she was content with checking if Amelie had sent another message, which as it turned out, she had. Once again the message, while informative, wasn't exactly reassuring, but that was to be expected at this point. It was slightly concerning to know someone could try to pass themselves off as Amelie to try and take advantage of them. She had to admit, the people at this settlement were a lot craftier at coming up with ways to screw the team over compared to that smug Duskmon's straightforward approach.
They soon landed in Kara-nam and made their way into the settlement with significantly less fanfare than the last time, as there was not a single soul to welcome them to the place, just the sound of their group's steps echoing loudly along the walls. Was this level of sheer silence and foreboding enough to creep out Sasha? If it was, she was very good at hiding it, that was for certain.
What did seem to annoyed her somewhat were the incredibly criptic writings instructing the group on what to do next. Really? Were they expected to solve a puzzle to gain access into the city? Sasha had to give it to them, this was a fairly creative way to dissuade intruders. It was working with her, at least. Alas, if the mission were to succeed she would have to play along.
Not that they had any options left, as the twins quickly got into motion and before anyone could do anything Evie found herself crossing one of the many doors...and apparently was unable to come back, as if some invisible force field stopped her. At the very least she seemed to take it in stride.
"So that's it? We just split up, go in blind and wait for the best?" She really couldn't believe they were all supposed to go along with this. Wasn't splitting up the party the one thing they should never do in enemy territory? Much less in a settlemnet known for their spies?
Yet much to her dismay, this indeed seemed to be the plan, as Jazz soon got into the action as well, picking up Akemi and taking on another door. And she did so in a rather careful and delicate way, quite unlike Tayichi’Tai. Sasha merely sighed at this point, but didn't say anything else.
With an annoyed shrug she'd reach down for the door on the floor, the one labelled with an F.
"Well, better to rule hell than...getting crushed by a dinosaur on the surface I guess." She'd sarcastically say as she opened the trapdoor, and began her descend.

Everyone had chosen their doors, and... despite the fact that they had been separated, all the paths looked like the same, even if their directions differed. Left, right, front, or back; darkness began enveloping the passageways. Luckily, it wasn't supernatural in origin, and any common light would've just illuminated the path ahead, something that also meant... tough luck for the ones who didn't have something capable of producing that at their disposal. Invariably, the passageways would end in what could be described as pretty much identical rooms. An exact copy of what they had found in the first room, yet with none of the doors that the group had decided to take. Instead, by the front wall, five decently-sized stone blocks were embedded, each of them showing the exact same symbols the doors had. Everyone present would probably wonder what was the purpose of said blocks. Everyone except Evie, it seemed! The ceiling faintly illuminated. The vague sound of television static resounded while letters slowly began to form. Soon enough, they became words, and then sentences. P R O C E E D
T O
D E S I G N A T E
V I C T I M
A N D
C U L P R I T Once that message was finished, Evie would hear a sudden, yet non-threatening sound behind; almost as if a rock had fallen centimeters away from her. If she turned and stared at the floor, she'd find something pretty... surprising. Or maybe not, considering the situation? It was a permanent marker.

The others had gone to their doors, and finally, Evie watched her sister reluctantly head to the '2019' door after turning back into her human form. It seemed like Elsie had tried to say something through the barrier one last time, but Evie couldn't understand a thing that was being said! Though, she did find it rather weird that the partners of tamers split away from their actual tamer. Was that smart?
It wasn't like Evie could advise them otherwise.
After everyone else had slipped through their doorways, Evie turned and made her way down the hall, and into the room that was just like the one she had left. Except, with blocks! It didn't take a genius to establish that each symbol was associated with a door that someone had stepped through, either. Hearing the static, the blonde looked toward the ceiling, to watch the letters unfold. "Culprit?" The teen repeated, only to brace herself seconds later when something clinked to the ground.
Not because she was afraid. Because her first thought was that Elsie would be afraid and cling to her. But, Elsie wasn't there, was she? This made it a lot easier to turn and see the source of the sound. Of course it was a marker. Glancing about the room for anything suspicious, the twin moved to pick the marker up, before staring at the blocks.
Who would be the best choices for these things? Evie obviously wasn't going to subject herself to any of this, so she was out of the question. Katherine and Anzu were together, which probably meant that Anzu couldn't really evolve, right? At least Akemi had a champion-level with her, but was Jazz going to handle any situation too well? Sasha was alone, but she seemed to handle herself pretty well. And, as far as Evie was concerned, Elsie was essentially Jazz-but-usually-human. Probably not a great candidate to pick for anything when alone. Unless it was a food-eating contest.
Also, considering Elsie was her sister, it was probably best to not subject her to a title like 'victim', right?
It was lucky that the blonde had watched which door each had gone through, so she wasn't completely in the dark about who she was picking! And, because of that, there was less internal crisis when she uncapped the marker to write 'Culprit" and then "Victim ):" on two of the blocks. Was this how she was supposed to pick? It was a little hard to tell. But, she had been given a marker, so she was supposed to use it, right?
Evie wasn't even sure if she'd find out if she had done this correctly. Would the people that she had selected be livid if they knew that she had chosen them? Depending on what actually happened after she made the choices, they might have every right to! Capping the marker, the girl continued to hold onto the object, just in case it would be required later. Unless it magically vanished. Who knew what would happen in this place!
She was mostly unsure about her selection for the victim due to the lack of knowledge to what the term entailed. But, hopefully the other girl would be able to handle it! It wasn't like there was any choice now, unless writing on the blocks didn't do anything! But for now, she'd have to wait. The choices were made; now she just had to wait and see what the outcome was. If her memory on which door everyone had stepped through was correct, Katherine would be the culprit, while Sasha was the victim.
Whatever any of that meant.

The choice had been made. Ψ had been selected as the culprit and F as the victim. Everyone, no matter the room, would be able to see that the blocks corresponding to each symbol began to illuminate. The former, in a blue shade, while the latter, in red. In a flash, their respective occupants completely disappeared.
Sasha. Where was she? Everything was dark and damp, and the floor itself felt rough and hard. She was sitting against a wall, and any attempt at moving would be met by... resistance.
A rattling sound against the many surfaces around her confirmed any would-be suspicions; she was chained. Both wrists and ankles were bound, and when coupling that with the absence of light in the atmosphere... the prospect didn't seem all too hopeful.
What about Katherine and Anzu? They were faring a lot better, at least in the sense that they were in a well-lit room, and at least the dark-haired teenager sitting in a comfy chair, while the Sangloupmon had the whole expanse of the room to move freely.
Even if... upon further inspection, one could see that, just like Sasha had been, Katherine was bound to her chair in a way that almost seemed to have been mimicked from a torture device. In front of the two of them, there was a monitor directly broadcasting Sasha's whereabouts. Next to that monitor, there was a keyboard.
Every five seconds or so, the screen flashed with a message that remained in the screen for three or so seconds before fading.
COMMAND CODE 1: S H A C K L E S
COMMAND CODE 2: C O M M
COMMAND CODE 3: E V E N T
Considering how Katherine couldn't really interact with her surroundings, what to do regarding this mostly... fell on the Sangloupmon.
But at least, the two beings could chat. The same couldn't really be said about the Russian.

Even if Katherine was not too happy of leaving her partner go with someone else (mainly due to her own jealousness), she agreed this was probably the best call for everyone to be in the safest scenario possible, regardless of what happened. Whether her theory was right or wrong, they were about to see.
"Anzu..." She addressed Akemi's partner, while they waited inside the room with the blocks for something interesting to happen. "T-that's your champion form, right?" She asked, sounding a bit coy. "I saw it back at the restaurant but..." She extended her hand to actually... pet the Sangloupmon on the head. "... I didn't realize it was so... fluffy, back then." Katherine petting a digimon that looked like an underworld dog was something that she had never done months ago when she arrived into this world. Undying Curiosity made her, apparently, also interested in... fluff. A bright light blinded her, not long after.
The Spaniard opened her eyes. Even if this seemed like a place a lot nicer than the one she and Anzu previously occupied, her face would wrinkle when she noticed she had been shackled to a chair!
“W-What is this?” She asked out loud, looking at Anzu. Well, at least Akemi’s partner seemed to still be around. The girl let out a sigh. Were they planning on hurting her? She initially wondered. It didn’t seem like it. Even if it took her a couple of seconds, she recovered the calm.
‘More than a physical affair, the next settlement will test how sharp your minds are.’
She needed to grab onto those words as well as she could. Her senses needed to remain sharp and her mind calmed. She tried to look around the room, seeing if she could find something of interest.
And boy, if she did.
“M-Mrs. Robinson?” She managed to mutter, looking at the screen. After some seconds of thinking and studying the layout of this place, she lowered her gaze. “What are they planning…?” She still couldn’t read what Kara-nam was pretending to do with them. She still didn’t understand what any of this meant.
“Can you press a command, Anzu?” She addressed the Sangloupmon. “Try with number one.”
What would happen to Sasha next?
Back in the other room… Jazz just stared at the blocks as they flashed. She had put Akemi down long ago.
“That’s the door Jasso entered…” She muttered. A pause ensued. “Mrs. Robinson entered the one with the other symbol that flashed, right?” Her green eyes went to Akemi.
“Can you try to contact either of them through your D-Terminal? And, while you’re at that, try to message Shisei, too. She did say that we could be able to reach her. Even if we shouldn't take anything she tells us too seriously. It might be a trap.” The Chohakkaimon suggested.

As Anzu had passed through her door with Katherine, the Tsukaimon became enveloped in mist as she went from her Rookie form to her champion. Sangloupmon proceeded into the room with the Spaniard before she glanced in her direction. "...Yes, it is. Had to take it in a rush back when I hatched to save Akemi from being eaten by a giant plant." She stated, before she tilted her head at Katherine.
Was she...petting her? Seriously? "I-I'm not fluffy, I'm so edgy that you can cut yourself on said edge." The wolf mumbled. With the change that occurred, she remained silent at Katherine's predicament for a few seconds. "...That's not good..." The wolf began to pad around the room, trying to see what kind of things lay in it, how it was structured and whatnot before proceeding over to the screen and considering her options carefully.
"I have paws, so I can. Let's try..." She pressed 1. What would happen?
"Yes, I think so...I don't know if this messes with my D-Terminal, so maybe we should find out." Akemi nodded, adjusting her hat as she took out the device and began to input messages towards Sasha and Katherine asking if they were okay, before she typed up one more message towards Amelie.
What sort of trial was this? What did the glowing blocks signify? What was going to happen?

From the very second the russian went down the recently opened trap door and all the way to the bottom, Sasha knew this plan reeked of poor decisions. Playing along with the rules of the settlement was one thing, but willingly split up the group in such a way that would make them all easy pickings? Had she had the option she would have abstained and looked for another way inside, but beggars couldn't be choosers.
She didn't get enough time to inspect the room she found herself in before the darkness swallowed everything, but she was fairly certain she could make out on a wall the same symbols that were on the doors in the previous room.
That would be the least of her concerns, however.
In a matter of seconds she suddenly found herself sitting with her back against the wall, arms and ankles held in place by something cold and vaguely metallic to the touch. No matter how much she struggled she would barely be able to move even an inch. A seemingly unending string of curses, slurs and swears spewed out of her mouth while she could feel her breathing and heart beat growing ever so slowly more frantic by the minute.
Between the darkness, the lack of movement, and the knowledge that probably none of her companions would be able to hear her, in any other situation she would have probably panicked. This time however, there was something to give her some solace, some much needed company.
In the cold, silent dark the inner words coming from her spirit were very much appreciated...even if what the spirit actually said wasn't exactly all that helpful.
"Curses, I knew we were only walking into a trap. I can only hope the others are fine."
"Don't just spell out the obvious, do something and help!" Sasha practically yelled in frustration, growing angrier and antsier with every minute she spent chained to the wall.
"I'm...sorry, but I can't." The sad voice from the Gladimon spirit replied, his sudden shift in tone making even the angry russian stop in her tracks for a moment. "I don't have nearly enough energy to manifest without you using your digivice as a catalyst."
"So you mean I can't transform if I don't press the button?" She said, incredulous.
"I'm afraid so."
Sasha fell silent for what felt like an eternity, completely dumbfounded...before practically screaming out in the most frustrated tone imaginable,
"That is so goddamn DUMB."
The harsh reality of the situation finally hit her: she was completely and utterly helpless right now, and unless her team did something to find her she was at the mercy of whoever ran this place. And if this was the way they treated (relatively) peaceful embassadors, she could only dread to find out what they did to enemies of the settlement.
All she could do now was trust the team and hope that they would find her eventually.

The trio's predicament didn't look like something that would be easily solved. It'd take them a fair bit of intelligence and strength to overcome the challenge in front of them. Would they be able to? Would they be found wanting? That was something they would find out soon enough. First order of business. What would happen after the message was sent to Sasha, Katherine, and Amelie? As soon as it was sent to the first two recipients, the following words appeared on the screen of Akemi's D-Terminal. E R R O R
I N V A L I D
A D R E S S
Regarding Amelie, at least, it seemed that the message had been delivered to her. The reply? It would have to wait a bit, but it eventually arrived. Subject: Kara-nam
It sounds like a very strange situation if you ask me. Keep your eyes open and try to contact the rest of the group; we'll have to trust whatever Anzu, Katherine, and Sasha are doing at the moment. They're a smart trio, so chances are they'll be able to get through whatever has been thrown to them. Regrettably, I have no information about what might've befallen them.
Guess there's really no other choice. Press on; I'll see what I can do, and if any support can be lent from my current location.
There wasn't much to say about Anzu and Katherine's situation, except that it seemed like the dark-haired teenager was essentially being held hostage and that the wolf was the only being capable of freely moving around the mostly-plain. Their only hope of contacting the outside was the console in front of them. And a very spefic outside, at it. Only Sasha could be observed from their position, even if, for now, she seemed painfully unaware of their situation. For now, it'd remain that way, especially considering the command that had been chosen by the Sangloupmon.
Sasha's situation was precarious, yet not hopeless. It took a couple of minutes, but eventually, and seemingly out of the blue, her bonds were undone with a soft clinking sound. "Shackles selected." A robotic voice muttered from an unspecified location. Whoever her mysterious benefactor was, they seemed to like the blonde. "Welcome to the Great Temple of the Elements, Sasha Robinson." The otherwise darkened atmosphere would suddenly lit up, most likely blinding any unsuspecting eyes. What would be revealed? A polished, alabaster-white stone construction. Unpolluted and completely clean, the stone went as far as to shimmer slightly in the presence of light. What about the room itself? It was a rather small, yet simple chamber, without any noteworthy details, except for, A pedestal, standing next to a massive set of double doors. A white bow rested upon it, wind howling and swirling around it.

Crossing her arms, Jazz took a seat on the floor.
“I think it’s safe to assume that it is, after all, Jasso and Mrs. Robinson who are involved in whatever is going on, after all.” Considering the fact that they couldn’t communicate with them and how it was their blocks that lightened up, this was a logical conclusion. It didn’t make it less frustrating, though.
Jazz let out a sight, lowering her gaze, looking rather pensive.
“I also don’t feel like there’s any way to know if that’s Shisei or not, just by reading that message.” She added. “But, again, I don’t think it’d help us with anything to know whether that’s her or not. I guess the only thing we can do is to actually wait and see if she can provide us with any aid.” She turned her head towards Akemi, before continuing. “Maybe you could try contacting Elsie or Evie? It might be worth trying…”
Considering their current situation, there wasn’t much that they could do.
“Do you have any other idea?” Jazz seemed to be giving her all to think about something, but… was there really anything that they could do?
Even if it was hard to admit for her, Katherine was just about as helpless and confused as her partner right now. Kara-nam was really pushing them to their limit, even if, up to now, it hadn’t been physically exhausting. Mainly… mentally.
Sasha was the perfect example. She seemed to be pretty pissed off. However… There was something about this girl. Judging by what she had said back in the main room and how she had acted up to now. There was something beyond that attitude. Something Katherine hadn’t missed.
“The Great Temple of the Elements…” The tamer muttered, staring at the screen. What did all of this even mean? The command ‘Shackles’ had freed Sasha and she was now able to see what was around her. A completely different room, regarding how it initially looked like.
“What do you think we should do next?” She consulted Anzu about it. “Assuming that second command would allow us to communicate with Mrs. Robinson. What would we even tell her? If we don’t have a clue of what’s going on… would we really be of any help?”
Katherine lowered her gaze once again, thinking...
“In that case… I think we should go with the third command. Let’s see what happens if we ask for an event.”
Whatever this was, they still needed to gather some more clues before actually reaching a conclusion on what they were supposed to do. However, Katherine was slowly starting to build a theory.

"That's the only way I can think of to explain not being able to reach them." Akemi stated in response to Jazz. She took a seat in front of the ChoHakkaimon and set her chin in her palm as she attempted to think. "I suppose all we can do aside from attempt contacting the others is waiting." She nodded as she tried to get a hold of either of the twins--Would that work?
Were they in a similar boat?
"...That sounds like something in one of Kemi's video games, eheh." Anzu snickered some, before the wolf glanced back at Kath. "We can't be much help if we're as clueless as she--so, unless we wish to restrain her again, which I think we can, the only reasonable thing to do here is hit event, see if it progresses this some."
A pause. "...If this doesn't go well, blame it on me." With that? Anzu placed a paw towards Event and hit that button.

After a good minute or so had gone by Sasha had gotten quite tired of fruitlessly kicking and cursing, so she simply sat there, quietly in the darkness as she awaited whatever fate was in store for her. If she was feeling anything resembling fear which she was, she was doing a great job at hiding it.
Luckily for her however, it seemed she would not have to wait for much longer: much to her surprise a metallic voice spoke from the darkness, welcoming her (by name no less) to the "Temple of the Elements", after which her shackles clicked open, releasing the russian as a sudden flash of bright light illuminated her surroundings and left her momentarily blind.
When she was finally able to see again, she found in front of her a most curious sight:
A massive set of doors that were probably too heavy for a single human to open by normal means, and a pedestal with a bow on top of it.
It was quite an impressive sight...and rather perplexing for both girl and spirit.
"Great Temple of the Elements?"
"This is really starting to sound like a videogame." She said, sounding more amused than anything.
There were a lot of questions in her head at that moment, but the first thing she did after getting up was quickly bring out her own D-Terminal to try and communicate with the others. Rather expectedly someone had already beated her to it, as it seemed Akemi had already messaged her, asking her if she was alright. That could only mean two things: either she (and possibly the rest) had been in a situation similar to Sasha's...or she had a way of knowing she had been in (relative) danger. Really, any of those possibilities seemed just as likely in this madhouse.
Regardless, she did her best to avoid replying with a sarcastic comment, and wrote back a short message to the effect of "I'm fine, found a bigass door and a weird looking bow. You two ok?"
With any luck the comunication would work both ways.
Having done that? She immediatelly would reach out with one hand for the altar, intent on grabbing that fancy looking bow.
"S-sasha? You really think this is wise? It could be another trap for all we know." The spirit was quick to interject, clear worry in his tone. He had a valid point, and Sasha knew it perfectly. But there wasn't much else to do other than wait for something else to happen, and she rather be armed for whatever was waiting for her behind those massive doors.
Also, the bow looked neat and she wanted it for herself.
"I'll take my chances, at the very least there's a tangible reward for me to risk it this time." Yes, she was still a bit sore over splitting up the group. Hell, she almost hoped someone else had gotten chained just like her, if only to prove her point.

First order of business! Would Akemi be able to contact Elsie and/or Evie? At least after the first attempt, at it seemed to be successful! Even if... only with Evie. After all, the wilder-haired twin wasn't carrying a D-Terminal with her! But, the good side was that a communication link had been established, and the two girls could now chat with each other.
So... what would happen?
In regards to the team currently engaging into the challenge of being the 'victim' and 'culprit', not much could be said in regards to Katherine and Anzu. At least for now, their job seemed to be relatively boring.
What about Sasha? As she grew closer to the altar, the winds swirling around it turned stronger, even if not strong to push her back or have any harmful effect on her. If anything, it could be called a token resistance; said current immediately ceased as soon as the blonde took the soft leather of the weapon's grip.
Yet, it was replaced with something else. For an instant, the Russian would feel an overwhelming urge to abandon this place; by any means necessary, she had to break away from the fortress, from the mission, from the team... from everything. That desire diminished in intensity after a couple of seconds, even if how violent it had been would surely leave her thinking.... even if not for long!
"You have acquired the Wind Bow. Congratulations, Miss Robinson." The voice would pause for a second, before resuming. "Event selected. You can now proceed to the next room."
The massive set of double doors visibly cracked, almost as if they had suffered the equivalent of hundreds of years of merciless tide and harsh winds. Granted, they were still a massive set of double doors, but they didn't look as intimidating now.
Sasha felt the bow's power at her fingertips. It was stronger than anything she had harnessed previously in her life. Simply put, the mere act of holding it was overwhelming, and at the same time... it pushed her ahead.
It wasn't quite an order, but it really sounded like a good enough suggestion. Shoot the door.
Sasha now has the Wind Bow.

For a second or two, Jazz just stared at Akemi as the girl took a seat on the ground and placed her hands on her chin. That was… adorable. The Chohakkaimon giggled.
“You’re kind of cute.” She stated, still showing a grin. “Jasso should really…”
Interrupted by a beep. Evie had replied! It was probably the time for Akemi to ask her about what she had been through on her side.
“So… what did she say?”
Well, there was something Katherine could definitely not chat with Akemi about: Videogames. At least she wouldn’t be able to add lots into the conversation, honestly. However, she agreed this did look like a videogame, even with the very little she knew about those.
That wasn’t, however, the only thing that got her attention. That voice had said Sasha’s name, again. Maybe this made sense? With Kara-nam being spies and having great forces of intelligence deployed around the Dark Area, it shouldn’t be that surprising. Or… could there be something else behind this? The clues were definitely not nearly enough to start building conclusions.
“That thing looks… very powerful.” Maybe they should have refrained Sasha from taking it? It was too late now, anyway. “What do you think was the event? That door cracking or… something else?” She threw this question Anzu’s way. So… what seemed to be left was communicating with Sasha, assuming that was what command number two would do. This seemed, still, fruitless at the moment, so…
“What if we just wait and see what happens?” It was possible new commands appeared once these three were used, but right now it didn’t seem like they could use a command again after using it once. “It seems like Mrs. Robinson is about to shoot that door. I can only wonder what’s behind that.”
Not enough clues about this whole deal had been handled to the curly-haired girl and the Sangloupmon, but… for how long would it remain like that?
Then… an idea stroke the green-eyed.
“Anzu… do you have any technique that you can throw to this chair to try to destroy it and set me free?” Some specifications were probably needed. “You know… without hurting me.” Was that even possible?
Maybe the Sangloupmon could even use her fangs? It was worth the try. At least while they waited for Sasha’s next move.
