flamingprick[So you fell asleep! It's okay, that happens. Everyone's gotta sleep, after all.
But what's important here is that, instead of waking up wherever you were, you will wake up in a rather dark hallway. There are no windows, so the only light comes from the occasional chandelier hanging down from the tall ceiling, casting long shadows that may look like they're moving if you catch them out of the corner of your eye.
Despite how long this hallway is, there are only five doors in total. Two on the left, two on the right, and one right at the end of the hallway. On the left there is a simple wooden door with '1-F' written on it, and a little further down is a sliding rice paper door. On the right there is a steel gate leading to what looks like a dark forest, and then further down is a wooden door with a cross on it. The door at the end of the hall looks like it's made of gold, and there is a bloody handprint on it.
The first four doors are unlocked, but the fifth can't be opened for the time being. You also can't go backwards down the hall, it will eventually end in a solid wall.
Where do you go?]
((OOC: the first four rooms can be explored in any order, so feel free to go about this in whatever way you want! There will be differences depending on the order in which you explore things though.))

Date: 2018-02-26 03:28 am (UTC)Don't worry, Rin sucked at it too. But at least Kevin's try isn't as bad as Rin's first time at it.
The puzzle resets again, by the way.]

Well, if it resets, I might as well do it my way at least once...
[disregarding the match and using his own magic to light the left and right candles simultaneously]

Date: 2018-02-26 04:14 am (UTC)Both candles ignite, and for a moment they flicker in a normal red color before switching over to blue. And then there's one last memory, but this time the puzzle does not reset after the memory plays. Instead, the two candles on the outside melt down to nothing instantly, leaving behind only the middle candle, which now also sports a blue flame. But it's not just a candle anymore, instead it's encased in a little hand lantern. The candle has 'Proverbs 12:25' carved into it, too.]

Date: 2018-02-26 04:47 am (UTC)It's a big classroom too, and super-fancy. Whoever built this place was loaded.
There's about 30 or so students lounging around the classroom. Some are studying, but most of them are chatting with one another. Notably, only two of the students seem to notice Kevin at all. The rest continue about as if Kevin isn't there. The first boy is up at the chalkboard looking at something, but does cast glances in Kevin's direction every now and then. The other student...yeah he just had a sudden costume change. And he's sitting on a windowsill watching Kevin. But he's grinning, so Kevin's efforts in the forest must have impressed him?
Anyway, what will Kevin do?]

Why was I saved?

Date: 2018-02-27 09:51 pm (UTC)[The boy looks back to the one empty desk. It looks like something is scratched into the top of the desk,
But it's hard to see just what it is from here. ]
"He's been missing for a while, I'm worried about him."
no subject
Date: 2018-02-27 10:44 pm (UTC)Mhm. What's your name, young man?
no subject
Date: 2018-02-28 03:55 am (UTC)"He was raised to be a weapon."
"Why the hell is Satan's kid here?!"
"He cannot control his powers, he needs to be executed."
"Satan's son cannot be allowed to live."
And then, on top of all of that, is 'NO', scratched large enough to cover the whole table.]
"Sei Godaiin."

Are these sentiments widespread here?
