There is a click, a soft urging, almost whispered too soft to hear, but you can sense that you are being beckoned somewhere, lead to an elaborate open door with wood panels and great curls of gold leaf. You cannot see what is beyond the door, but it smells sour and sharp. Before you can turn over the thought of should you or shouldn't you, if you are the kind, there is a quiet push at your back and through the door you go . . .

Join #supersafe, because I like being misleading. When in doubt, use this for flower meanings if you character is the type . . .

[hff :T Sits back up to look for any other doors out aside from the entrance]

[it's just one pair! moves back into the room to watch him chip away]

Why were you chained?

[shipwithwings]

[pokes around the room for a couple more minutes, looking for anything even slightly out of place]

[dramatispersonae]

There aren't any, I'm afraid.

[dramatispersonae]

Gilbert weighs that question before slowly starting to chip at the wall.

"I was chained ... Because of my past."

[dramatispersonae]

Neji did something with the mouse trap, so it is all in proper order.

He lets the silence hang. It doesn't look like he wants to go on.

[dramatispersonae]

THERE IS A BLOOD THIRSTY BEAST READY TO POUNCE . . . !!

No, I kid, there isn't anything under there. It is immaculate.

[dramatispersonae]

The sun shines warmly, and the air remains tepid, though there are a few more nice breezes now.

[sitting up and scenting the air]

[...kneels next to it, looking over into ~THE VOID~]

[fraternalorders]

[well I don't plan on getting shanked]

[dramatispersonae]

You may catch wafts of death and rot from directly north, but there is mostly foliage from the hedges and dried flowers from the table nearby.

[after a while]

Mister Gilbert... what do you mean?

[quietly, tactfully; she won't insist further]

[dramatispersonae]

You should plan on it. I mean . . . Are we pressing onwards?

[surefire]

[shhh ok pets his hair a little]

Heh. Then I suppose that's fine if you're satisfied with that—though there's nothing wrong with being a little more demanding, either.

[dramatispersonae]

There's a slight jump at that, then he glances over before going back to his work, a little more vigorously.

"What happened, what I didn't remember then remembered ... It was awful, and Vincent knew. He was trying to hide it all ... "

[dormancy]

Yes, there is . . . But that's nice of you.

[crueltobekind]

What the heck am I supposed to find here?

[picks up the orange flower??]

Vincent I'm going to rearrange everything if you don't show your stupid face!

[dramatispersonae]

A few lights continue to drift up, even brushing your cheek, as you can get the distinct sensation that something is looking back at you. Probably, because they're all cackling and chattering about it.

"And they all fell down, they all fell down~." "Tear and tear and rip and shred!" "Oh, no, poor Mary is broke again."

[sightunseen]

I... think I knew that...

[reading the last page of Yuri's book again]

So...?
