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 . . .

[from right below, staring up]

[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.

[emocalypsed]

Will it hurt him? ...You?

[dormancy]

No.

[emocalypsed]

Really?

[dormancy]

Really. But don't hurt them, especially her. [nodding to the bird] She's close, you know.

[emocalypsed]

I'll be careful.

[dormancy]

Okay.

[and turning to go]

[emocalypsed]

[calling after]

You should be careful too.

He turns around a corner of the maze. Though, you're not going to be able to chase after him . . .
