>You don't think it would be a very good one, your clothing is designed more with comfort in mind than being jury-rigged into effective weapons. It'd probably be better to just throw rocks by hand.

>You don't see anything like a trap around the undergarment, and you don't feel that space here is any more unstable than anywhere else in the chamber; however low of a bar that happens to be.
>You reach down and pluck the undergarment from the root, and hiss in pain as your fingers erupt into pain! Still, you manage to grab your prize!
>You obtain: Undergarment
>Checking your fingers, you are pleased to find the are not bleeding, but the feeling that they are being stabbed by needles lingers

>You look around some more, but the only other one you note is the one on that crag about two thirds the way up the left wall. You can't identify it from here, but it seems too small to be your hat.
>This does give you some hope that your tools aren't lost eternally. You don't see any sign of them here, though.

>It is some yards above your head. Looking at the wall, it does not seem to be climbable; even if it was, the way it curves inward would make it too perilous to try. You will have to employ some other means.

>we say, as we launch the rock at the white thing.

>You fling the rock at the crag, watching arch and spin toward the destination and hoping it'll dislodge the bit of cloth. The rock hits the outcropping with a painfully loud sound, followed by a high-pitched crash as the the entire crag shatters into pieces like a pane of glass. You can only watch as the shards rain down to the ground, breaking into more shards. The rock clatters away somewhere in corner, while the piece of clothe flutters to the ground. You can only stare at the remains of the crag for a second; you may have a youkai's strength, but you certainly don't have the capacity to do that!

>You walk over and collect the bit of clothing; it is your other sock! Your feet are certainly happy to have something between them and the cold floor as you slip it on.
>You retrieve your rock and examine it, it seems to be the similar to the stone you have seen beforehand.
>Looking upward, you don't see anything where the outcropping was except for a few sharp-looking shards of rock that still cling to the wall.

>When you do it, it is largely to annoy people with an obvious lie. You don't claim any particular number as your age; you just tend to pick one out of the air that is implausible enough that most people with a sense of decor won't ask again. You honestly don't know how old you are.

>You retrieve your rock, and make your way out of the purple-lit chamber and back into the tunnel. It is a little difficult to avoid looking back every so often, lest the chamber's tenuous hold on reality finally collapse and the whole thing falls into nothingness. This does not happen, which is probably for the better, but as it stands you cannot imagine that it will last more than a few days.
>You try to make a triangle around the slanted line that you made by the entrance, and manage to force the rock to leave an acute angle at the apex. The whole thing looks less like a Y with a triangle around it and more like a crude arrow drawn by some primitive born outside of civilization. Your attempts to make a YX fair no better, you end up with a couple of unconnected parallel lines of varying lengths.

>Keep going.

>Continuing onward, the corridor continues to curve and the light grows a little stronger, until the tunnel widens ahead. You quickly sense the weakness in the fabric of space, while the familiar weak purple light glows from no visible source as you walk inside. The floor curves, rising to your left and sloping downward to your right. The ceiling overhead, as well as the walls before and behind you curve as well, coming to a point a couple yards to your left. To the right, the floor slopes downward some yards before ending in wall that is somewhat flat, but uneven. Rocky crags dot every surface, as do the occasional root. One of the roots is uncomfortably close to where you stepped out on your right; your fingers aching gets a little worse, rather like holding a burn close to a flame. As well, to the right, you can see an obvious gap, though the space here is an obvious place for a gap, but the fabric of space in here is so weak that you don't think it would be wise to try and open it. You also note that the wall to the left is littered with the remains of an unnaturally shattered stone, and that the opposite wall has a place where a crag used to be, before you hit it with a rock. They rest midway up the wall, despite gravity.
