Omniscient

Chapter 9

Questing seemed to go by even quicker than it is supposed to be. The next floor was Badinage, then Allegiance and Veracity. On the Badinage floor we were given 15 minutes to come up with a completely new joke that would blow peoples mind. I completely failed. The joke I used was a knock-knock joke from the year 2000-ish. Next we had to tell if jokes were actually funny, which I also failed at because I have no sense of humor. Yeah...
       Finally, the last test in Badinage was something I could actually do. The guard conducted me to plan and construct a trap in fifteen minutes. Yes! Thank the lord for something I can actually do. Within the first three minutes I made the design and in the next five I created a booby trap. Trapping people by tripwire, the trap was almost flawless! Getting a 73 in the scoreboard, I couldn't be more proud of myself. They gave me five extra points in Omniscient for the design.

Allegiances trials were stupid, however, I got extra points for knowing everything about their back-story. The end score in Allegiance was 36. Veracity was, how do I put it? Well, it was... different. They gave me a drink; I knew this drink, however I wouldn't know it for long. The Omniscient caucus, designed this drink, used as a lie detector. The potions acted as a truth serum, forcing someone to tell the truth, however there is a reverse potion, forcing you to tell lies. Potions had four different settings or levels of some kind. Level D, the one they must be giving me, lasts for approximately 20 minutes. C, the next level, lasts a complete day. The most complicated level, Z, can be any time and you can end it whenever. Level A, the most intense, lasted your entire life. They gave me D and within less than two seconds I forgot everything.
I woke up approximately twenty minutes later and looked around the room desperately for the scoreboard. My vision was extremely fuzzy and I couldn't see anything. I wasn't in the same room that I was in when I fell asleep.
