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 . . .

They hold as fast as steel, but they don't cut, at least. Puppets should be whole and beautiful, but moved only when desired . . .

[looks up into the sky]

...Vincent?

[dramatispersonae]

There is no answer.

[emocalypsed]

[this is a bit awkward...]

[dramatispersonae]

Isn't it, though? It seems as if chains dominate this side of the maze, holding the woman down. If you look to the bird, then you can see the same chains binding it.

[emocalypsed]

[but changing things would be bad]

[dramatispersonae]

Are you sure about that? I mean, especially with this situation?

[emocalypsed]

Oh! Um. ...Hello...

[dormancy]

[glancing from him to Doldum, curious]

[emocalypsed]

...Could you get me down, maybe?

[dormancy]

[leaning on one of the chains]

I could . . . But you got yourself there.

[emocalypsed]

I guess I did... Could you, um, then... Could you maybe tell me what these are?

[dormancy]

The three of them?

[emocalypsed]

The...threads. Chains.

[dormancy]

Mmhm, they're mine.

[emocalypsed]

The...chains are yours? Or the...three of them?

[dormancy]

Everything. But the three of them are called Chains.

[emocalypsed]

Then, me... What does it mean?

[dormancy]

Hmm?

[emocalypsed]

If I'm up here.

[dormancy]

That you got caught. You went close to her . . .

[emocalypsed]

If...I break these...

[dormancy]

They'll be broken.
