A cold, delicate hand grabs yours and pulls. It pulls, and it pulls... there's a sense of urgency in this icy grasp, as well as a trace of reluctance. Abruptly the hand let's go, right as your vision fades to black, and for a brief moment, only a brief moment, your senses disappear. There's only the eerie sensation of weightlessness before your feet are settled back on solid ground again.

Well, yeah. Echo is a good friend of mine, unlike you.

"No surprise, no surprise! You... you still can't see, right? I can maim your friends and then cut you apart, right? Treating your body the way I treated Oz Vessalius's would still be fun, right!?"

Her voice ends on delirious laughter. This girl be crazy.

[scree, that does visibly bother him]

Fuck off, Zwei.

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

She calms down, her laughter devolving into chuckles.

Then a cold, icy hand reaches out to pet him.

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

[SCREE

swats hard at that cold, icy hand because WHAT THE FUCK DON'T PET ME]

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

The fingers are cold and hard—sharp, too. Congratulations on that new cut across your hand!

Zwei only laughs, and she retracts the hand to god knows where because you can't see it anyway.

"I'm stronger this time—!"

[oh great :'| putting pressure against his hand to stop the bleeding - thankfully he's dead so it's not like his blood is going to gush out or w/e because dead, but.]

If I find fireworks, I am going to fire them at you, later.

[CAN I GO CHECK OUT THE BEAR I HEAR PEOPLE TALKING TO A BEAR, bear sounds more exciting than zwei because zwei is a loser]

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

SHE LAUGHS, OH BOY. And yes, you may. The bear seems to be interested in talking to you, too.

"W... welcome..."

Its voice is shy and weak.

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

... Hey.

Are you alright?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"Me...? No... I am not alright, and neither is this place, and I'm sorry you are here, but I think you can help...!"

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

I want to help. So, do not be sorry that I am here, okay? What can I do to help you?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"First... my limbs! I don't know the state of the heart. I've been up there for a while, and I haven't had my arms or legs for a while... without them, not only am I immobile, but I can't be as happy either..."

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

Okay. I can do that. And, so will everyone else that is here. I promise.

Uh... and is there a place that could be safe for you? Because I do not want to leave you to Zwei, because Zwei is an ass.

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"Thank you... I will be safe! I think. I haven't died yet, so I won't die now!"

...the bear seems to have its doubts, but! It bobs its head up and down. Yes, totally.

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

We won't let you die.

You can have my word for it ... uh, part of Hail's heart, that I am not sure has a name. Do you have a name?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"Yes! Yes, my name is Janta, and I represent Hail's happiness. That's me."

Oh if only you could see how happy this bear was trying to look. But it's certainly radiating a LITTLE bit of happiness your way, and it feels like warmth.

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

Well—it's nice to meet you, Janta. And, don't worry, we are going to make sure that you stay safe. Ruining happiness, is a thing that only Zwei likes to do. And Vincent, but Zwei is the most immediate problem, at this point in time, in this heart.

Do you have any good ideas, on where to start?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

You mentioned Vincent, so you get a tilt of the head.

"Um... not my room, the guys Hail's dating are going up there! Maybe... it..."

It hesitates.

"The ballroom... that could be a good place..."

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

[vincent o9"

wait is she dating??? DO I HAVE TO MAKE FACES AT PEOPLE :'|]

I was there, last time. I'll go again.

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"O... okay."

Janta is a little less responsive than before.

"Thank you, Tavros. You're a good friend."

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

[no don't be less responsive :(]

I am going to put you somewhere safe, okay? And, you will be with me.

[ENJOY POKEBALL SYLLADEX ILU???]

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"Okay..."

I.

IN IT GOES.

[DO I GET TO MAGICALLY KNOW MY WAY TO THE BALLROOM

because he is going to stumble in that direction]

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

WELL JANTA COULD HAVE GIVEN YOU DIRECTIONS BUT—!!

Either way, as long as you step further into the darkness (which feels cold) you should be able to feel your way through the hall.

And when you enter that dark room, the one that lead to many others, it will feel just as cold... and...

In fact, have a helpful voice.

"You know where you're going, right?"

Re: entry

[pchaaair]

[nts: remember to ask janta things later!? (no doing things the hard way is fun)]

I'm working on it.
