Snippet #2404810

Andromeda looked at the map Tom had found. For some reason he seemed to think she could figure something out about it. The characters looked familiar, she had been taught those once. Didn’t they have something to do with physics? “Iota... omicron Y... no, upsilon I guess...” she began.

“To the exit!” she was startled by Orion’s voice, used by Corki. Andromeda jumped, and stepped on a shard of something that had been shattered by a fallen pillar. Suddenly she was holding the map. The disorienting feeling of switching bodies was becoming familiar, and she didn’t have to guess who she looked like now. “That just had to happen, didn’t it?” she sighed with Tom’s voice.

Her attention returned to the text below the map. It had to be something more important than the location of the exit, why else would it be there? To taunt them of course, but it might as well be important. “Hmm, reckon it’s in all caps? Maybe we should shout it.” She chuckled. This was such a silly place. Silly, and meaningless, and empty, and depressing...

“Yo-uh shpks... sepgh... sergh in fen. Ummm... de sepi... sep ter is in... anoh-der kasn... kasleh.” Andromeda mumbled as she puzzled. These did appear to be words, perhaps a magic formula that would fix everything. “Yo-uh sergh in fen. De sep ter is in anoh-der kasleh” she tried. Nothing happened. She took a deep breath and yelled “YO-UH SERGH IN FEN! DE SEP TER IS IN ANOH-DER KASLEH!!!”, waving her arms hoping it would somehow add magical effect. Nothing.

“To the exit it is”, she said with a sheepish grin.
