  > look at your surroundings
  Beneath the Pipe (as Ross)
  You're standing on a small platform, watching severed parts of Earth shoot past through the pipe just above you that leads to the beast. By this point in their processing, things are barely recognisable as belonging to Nature - there are some earthy colours and familiar shapes, but it's mostly just a kind of tangled mush. Bits of it escape the flow and trickle onto the floor, creating a pungent deathly odour. A tiny ladder will take you right into the flow.
  
  > check what you're carrying
  You are carrying:
  2 pieces of soul (of 7)
  
  > examine flow
  Material from the Earth is gushing through this pipe, on its way to the beast.
  
  > examine the floor
  There's a staircase.

  Foot of the Mountain: South (as Helen)
  Down here, the pit of fire attacks all your senses at once, your eyes with its intense colour, your ears with the sound of its bubbling and popping, your skin with its searing heat. Just a short distance away over the fire is a small island with a small church on it, and indeed no room for anything else. There's no way over to it, but there is an upright stake lodged in the ground, and a recess next to it where another one might go. There are also paths around the base of the mountain to the west and east, and a way back up to the north.
  
  You hear a noise from up the mountain, and see a pair of scissors and a colourful glass sphere tumbling down towards you. The sphere instantly smashes into a million shards, which disappear in the dust.
  
  > get the scissors
  You bend down and retrieve the pair of scissors.
  
  Another body wordlessly accepts its fate, and flies down into the pit of fire.
  
  > look at it
  It's a big pair of scissors that came over the mountaintop.
  
  > go south
  If you go that way, you'll fall headlong into the fire. Perhaps it's time.
  
  > go to the southeast
  Time to stop fooling around here. You step to the edge and let the flames lick your feet. You get used to the burns, almost enjoy it, and then you sway forward and let yourself go. The heat surges inside you, an intense pain eating through you, snaking round your blood vessels and turning you to death. You still have the sensation of falling, and falling, and you think you see something metal. Something big and metal, floating in space, consuming the Earth, but that's all you have time to notice before you scream your way into oblivion.
  
  > Sleep
  Suddenly you're awake, and you struggle back into a sitting position, but it feels like you've just come from one nightmare to another. Images and memories from your dreams are parading through your mind, as if you didn't have enough torment.
  
  Carriage (as Helen)
  It's a grey, metal carriage, only slightly longer than it is wide. There's no window, so the only light is from a slim fluorescent lamp in the ceiling that flickers every so often, periodically plunging you into darkness.The floor is littered with dead wasps, but they're not you're only company: a man, probably in his early twenties, is in the same state, leaning against the opposite wall.
  
  You're feeling surprisingly tired, so even though you'd rather not be off your guard in a situation like this, you can't be bothered to worry about it. You fall down onto your side, shut your eyes, and try to let the train's steady movement send you off.
  
  > put the stake in the hole

  You need to be holding the recess before you can put it into something else.

  > Go north
  Mountainside (as Helen)
  You're looking out upon the enormous pit of fire surrounding the mountain. Rocks of various sizes litter the ground, and an acrid dust suffuses your senses. It looks like you could probably scramble down to the south without much injury. Up above, the judgement continues.
  
  > Go south

  There's a loud sucking noise, and a sickle and a metal pole suddenly drop out of the flow, strangely intact.
  
  > get all
  metal pole: You expropriate the metal pole.
  sickle: You expropriate the sickle.
