So multiple people have been finding riddles in those weird boxes, right?

[ Someone apparently has never seen an advent calendar before in their lives.. That's what happens when you're raised so sheltered, apparently. That's besides the point though - Ange's idly playing with a piece of paper of paper in her hands, presumably the paper the riddle she's talking about was written on. ]

I thought maybe there'd be some sort of clue or secret message, but it seems like they're really just standard riddles. I mean, tell me if you've heard this one before.

"A murderer was condemned to death. He has to choose from one of three rooms: 1) A room full of raging fires, 2) A room full of assassins with loaded guns, 3) A room with lions that hadn’t eaten in years. Which room is safest?"

Isn't that one super old? They could've at least picked a more interesting one.

SURE AM! WE'RE A STRICTLY Y-7 UNIVERSE! I DON'T EVEN GET TO SWEAR WITHOUT FILLING OUT THE PAPERWORK.

[ The age rating thing is going way over her sheltered head. She just assumes it's some name of a different dimension or whatever. Sounds more likely to her. ]

Sounds like you're one of the lucky ones then. I could only wish the world was more like that, it sure would have saved me a lot of trouble.

YEAH, YEAH, YOUR LIFE IS HORRIBLE. I ALREADY KNOW THIS. I KNOW EVERYTHING!

[entreats]

If you know everything, then why don't you know what the way to get out of this place is? Are you just hanging around because you think it's fun?

[tetractys]

I HAVE SOME THINGS I CAN ONLY GET HERE! THIS PLACE IS JUUUST ABOUT READY FOR SOMEONE TO STEP IN AND GIVE IT A NEW DIRECTION.

[entreats]

Wait.

You're saying that you're planning on taking over the place?

[tetractys]

IF I HAVE TO BE STUCK HERE, I WANT TO BE IN CHARGE!

[entreats]

If something was strong enough to drag you here and keep you here in the first place, what makes you think you can be somehow stronger than it to overtake it?

[tetractys]

POSITIVE THINKING AND A CAN-DO ATTITUDE!

[ Wow, the exact two things Ange has literally never had in her life. ]

With that kind of answer, all I can do is wish you good luck, I guess. You'll need it.
