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.

No. I am not going to leave, and, nothing you do can make me.

[there might be a gust of wind shooting up-- not very strong, but maybe strong enough to knock someone off balance?? MAYBE?? Or maybe not.]

Nurse Echo is knocked back, but she presumably doesn't drop whatever she's holding, or fall off of her feet. A stumble, if you will. From here she continues—her voice is strained and... helpless.

"You don't understand how unhelpful this currently deceased person has been! I... I hated watching her believe in things that wouldn't happen! I watched her garden and grow plants that would die. She focused on the outside more than the proper part of the heart, too. She put her all into that garden, those hopes, those pathetic dreams... To find her dead... it's what she deserves, isn't it?!"

[takes that chance to scramble backwards, though he hasn't had a chance to get back up yet and he doesn't know where she went, and—well. It's not really an ideal situation.]

No, it's not what she deserves! No one—deserves to be dead. I know what it is like to be dead, and it sucks, and no one deserves that, okay?

She watches him, making no sudden movements.

"She's not a person like you are, Tavros. She's a poorly developed concept. She's not acceptable here."

[pulling himself back up, slowly]

Everyone is a person. I spoke to her last time I was here, and she was not a poorly developed concept. She was a concept that needed encouragement.

She sighs and drops the heavy item she was holding before.

"I can revive her. But it does not interest me. Not when the heart is in this state. Whatever killed her will just kill her again."

Where is what killed her?

She tilts her head...

"I do not know. All I can say is that she was murdered in the garden she tended to."

[... letting janta out of his sylladex '^'a]

Okay. One last question, before I head in the direction of that garden. Have you seen a limb for a doll, that would belong to Janta?

Janta tilts its head nervously to the side at the sight of Nurse Echo.

Nurse Echo tilts her head casually to the side at the sight of Janta.

"...Zwei might have it. Zwei likes taking things that do not belong to her."

[hugging janta tightly '^'a]

Is there a Zwei here? Or ... nearby? Or, is she everywhere, or something.

"She's everywhere."

... Thanks. I will be back.

[I AM TAKING JANTA AND MARCHING OUT TO THE HALLWAY. AFTER RUNNING INTO A WALL A FEW TIMES PROBABLY???]

I. Impressive.

Zwei's laughter echoes through the hall.

"So, you're looking for me? ♥"

You know, looking is kind of hard right now, but, yes.

I want one of Janta's limbs.

"Oh~? Why, I'm surprised someone asked me for them. They usually tell me to go away!"

She dangles the limb in front of him. Not that he can see it.

"Let's play a game. Let's see if you can guess which limb I have here! Is it an arm? A leg?"

[oh my god]

[idk animal communing worked on oz once can i make it work here]

Janta? Can you hear me?

Nada. Janta just looks at you confusedly, why are you quiet??

You get the feeling a set of unseen eyes are wait, watching expectantly.

[fml]

... Leg.

"Bzzt. Wrong!"

A piece of thick, slivered wood is driven into your foot.

[DROPPING DOWN LIKE A ROCK with a yelp of pain. jesus christ]

Fuck you. Give me the limb.

Any icy hand reaches for his neck, grabbing it tightly.

"Ask me nicely~!"

[:'|]

You know, you have not really given me a reason to ask you nicely.

"You don't need a reason. Why, I just deserve it!"

A cold, hard nail presses into his throat.

[oh jesus christ]

Please. Can I have a limb for Janta, Zwei. Even though I do not think you deserve the 'please', at all. Because, I am pretty sure that there are a lot of people that actually deserve it more.
