Thread: For the love of gold (LunarCinnamon & Courtney)

Emily watched as the door to the next room opened, eyeing it suspiciously. The door behind her closed almost as soon as the room in front of her was revealed. She couldn't say that surprised her. The creature she'd encountered before had said that she had the chance to leave before. It stood to reason that should she choose to continue, she'd be locked in until she either found the treasure or... well. She supposed she mustn't think about such things, for fear of jinxing herself before she'd even begun. The room before her held works of art upon the wall that Emily were sure were worth a fortune in their own right. But she wasn't here for simple paintings. It was as she stepped into the room that she noticed the odd rug upon the floor. As it moved and shifted into a more humanoid shape, Emily stayed perfectly still, watching it closely. She couldn't be sure what it was. It was definitely feminine, that much was clear. And it was humanoid. But those were the only things she could compare to true humanity when it came to this creature. Other than that, it was entirely foreign to her. This creature was a rosy pink, and almost translucent. It appeared slightly sticky, or perhaps slimy was the right word. The monster appeared to be made entirely from slime! Emily blinked at the thought. What could slime possibly do to her? She supposed she couldn't use her sword on it, from the looks of it it didn't have any organs she was sure she'd see though considering it's body was nearly see through. The only thing she could spy in its body was behind it's left breast. It was blurred behind the pink goop. With a quick look around the room as the monster settled, either oblivious to Emily or simply ignoring her, the adventurer discovered a key hole in a pedestal. That object inside the slime woman must be needed to move on to the next room! Emily stepped around the goo woman, tip toeing so as not to wake her up. She wondered how she'd go about this. A sword would likely not do much besides upset or anger her. And she supposed she would not be able to talk to it, perhaps talking would upset her too considering that she seemed quite peaceful in her slumber. Emily did not want to simply plunge her hand into it's chest though, that was rather barbaric. She swallowed, thinking over her choices as she backed away to investigate the pedestal. As far as she could tell it was the only thing in this whole room that would open a door. She dare not touch the paintings, not just yet, for fear of what may happen should she not first complete the puzzle. Despite what the demoness had told her and it only being half true, she figured touching things she was not supposed to touch was something that hadn't been a bluff. Until she investigated the maze more, she'd leave things in their place. Except of course... this key. Emily sucked in a breath before resigning to use her hands. She kept her leather gloves on, pulling them up a little more to make sure they were definitely on. The goo woman was almost sort of... cute? In a very odd way, Emily decided. The small snores and noises she was making indicated to the adventurer that she was out like a light. With that conclusion, Emily made her way back over to her, kneeling next to her as her hand hovered over her left breast. Despite finding it to be quite a savage thing to do, it was the only way Emily thought she could possibly get the key. So, with another deep breath, she placed her hand down on the surface of the slime woman's body and, instead of plunging her hand in violently, she let it slip in slowly, grasping the key with a grin.
