[screwthatnoise]

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.

She chuckles. The others seem to have gotten a stuffed animal hanging from a noose down. Weird, it has no limbs and it looks rattled and disturbed...

"What I say goes here, child! What I do goes, as well..."

Where is this?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"This would be my heart... oh, but I suppose this side is Echo's. Again, welcome to hell! I'll be your guide."

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

Can I just ignore you ...

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"That's incredibly rude—!"

Though her voice is loud, if you'd like to ignore her in favor of the bear that's staring at you and bobbing its head from side to side, you may...!

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

[ -- looking at that bear ]

What're you?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"Ah! The... the first person to ask!"

If it could be glowing it would, I'm sure.

"I am Janta, Hail's happiness!"

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

Her happiness?

[ metaphors!!1 ]

You're a talking bear, though.

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

It huffs, a little irritated.

"I'm not a talking bear, I'm Janta! Who happens to be Hail's happiness! That's really who I am."

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

Uh ... So you know your way around here?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"Yes. Yes, I do. Unless it's changed since I've been hanging up there..."

Janta looks around, almost as if out of habit.

"What do you need?"

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

Where's Zwei?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"W... what!"

Janta tenses in alarm.

"No, please don't bother with her, there's nothing that can be done! I want you to stay as safe as you can... i-in a place like this..."

Its voice falls quiet, and it tilts its head towards the ground.

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

[ shakes his head ]

Kise and I are gonna take her down. We just need to know where she is.

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

Janta's body is frozen. It hesitantly bobs its head up.

"I... I know a way, but I don't—it's not safe, I don't want you to get hurt deliberately like that!"

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

We don't care if it's dangerous, we're gonna go there and we're gonna get rid of her.

Where is it?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"Umm..."

If its embroidered eyes could procure tears, it would probably be tearing up right now.

"I can't—!! It's by my old room, but that place isn't safe right now!"

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

What's the way to your old room, then?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

It sniffles. Somehow.

"Ehh... upstairs... but please don't!"

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

Thanks. Be careful, bear thing.

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

It sounds kind of whiny now.

"I'm Janta—! You need to be more careful than me if you're venturing out there!"

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

I'll be careful, alright?

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

"..."

It's quiet for a moment.

"Okay. B... because I trust you."

Re: entry

[selfdefeater]

[ ... bops it on the head, lightly ]

Good.

Re: entry

[screwthatnoise]

It ducks its head a little, boy isn't that familiar.
