[dormancy]

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 . . .

You—You could . . . But it is about a six story drop.

[NOWHERE TO CLIMB? vines or anything?]

[dramatispersonae]

There are black vines on Onyx's tower in Camelot . . . . . . . . . I am so glad this is a dream, your brother would kill me.

[sightunseen]

. . . let's see if we can find the key to this door, Mister Gilbert!

[OPENS THE WINDOW]

[dramatispersonae]

"Wh—Why?! What are you going to do!!"

[sightunseen]

Open it. . .

[shoves Yuri's book into her jacket and feels for the vines :|a]

[dramatispersonae]

"But why!"

He fumbles, like he wants to grab her, but he isn't trying yet. "I-If you're going to do that, then let me ... !!"

[sightunseen]

Let you...?

[dramatispersonae]

"H-Help! I'll help ... You get down ... Or break down the door, just don't ... Don't do that. I'll die even if you don't."

[sightunseen]

I don't want you to die, Mister Gilbert. If you could help me get down, that would be very sweet of you.

[dramatispersonae]

"I-I will. C-Come here, on my back ... "

His nerves are shot and he is blushing at the idea, but he is turning his back to her for her to climb on . . .

[CLIMBS UP WITHOUT EMBARRASSMENT]

Thank you ♥

[dramatispersonae]

"... You're welcome ..."

Gilbert gets adjusted to her weight, making sure she is holding on tight, before he clambers up to the window and takes a big gulp . . . He is slowly going to work on getting down by using the vines.

[sightunseen]

[leans her cheek on his shoulder and closes her eyes till they're down, quiet]

[dramatispersonae]

You are very good to a man with fragile nerves. There are a few spots where footing is hard fought, and Gilbert is cursing each time, but they eventually get down to ground level in front of the castle.

[sightunseen]

Mm...

[clasps her hands together under her chin for a moment, feeling the breeze... are there any air currents like the ones she felt before?]

Thank you again!

[dramatispersonae]

It is cold, and there is a sharp breeze that cuts through you. This realm isn't very nice at all.

"Y-You're welcome ... But what was that for?"

[sightunseen]

The door was locked from the outside. So shouldn't it be unlockable from the outside, too?

[is that breeze coming from any particular direction?]

[dramatispersonae]

"O-Oh ... For a door?! I could have broken it down ..."

They're coming from around the tower as if cuts through the wind, being as tall as it is.

[sightunseen]

I told you I wanted to open it, silly... I don't want to break the lock, though. I'd rather find a key unless it's really necessary.

[heading around there, hugging her own arms a bit]

[dramatispersonae]

Eventually, she will find an entrance into the Great Hall . . . Gilbert tries to shelter her from the wind where he can.

"Oh, the key ... I wonder where it could be."

[sightunseen]

I've never been here at all, so it'll be an exciting journey!

[TRYING TO MAKE HER WAY TO ONYX]

[dramatispersonae]

"Heh, you're really excited ... Then, I'm glad we went this way."

It looks like she'll be able to enter. The staircase winds up the center of the tower.

[sightunseen]

It's nice to get a better picture of this place...

[making her way up to where Yuri's room should be]

[dramatispersonae]

After going up six floors, the key isn't seen in the lock. There is a small ring on the floor, though.
