week six
week six.
Once again, the fog moves, filling every nook and cranny of the blanket fort, letting it all slowly fade from view. As always, Heart locations remain, joined by a few new additions. You know the name of this game now. You know that choosing to stay behind is not the key to moving forward, and therefore, you must cross the border and plunge into the fog once again.
This time the fog has a bite of frost, the temperature dropping drastically as the cloud of fog peels back, revealing the shiny, glittering expanse of snow beyond. Shivers run through your no doubt unsuitable clothing, but luckily for you the luxurious resort beyond is just close enough to avoid the worst of the chill. (Your shoes will absolutely get wet though, sorry...) Once inside, the lobby is warm and toasty, filled with squat, comfortable couches and a minibar on the opposite corner. There is an elevator to take you to another floor, as well as signs for the ski slopes outlined on the walls opposite.
Welcome to your Wintry Wonderland! You may change into appropriate attire in one of the many changing rooms, but please be careful -- you will feel an urge to seek warmth as you explore this particular maze, whether by an embrace or through hand-holding. It will feel like second nature to you, and perhaps a godsend in this freezing landscape.
0. heart tasks
The notice board is still here this week, now with a new set of tasks written on it! Along the Akheron river, there's a fresh slew of boxes and containers along its bank. They're all locked up tight, but they have your names on them. They're also nicely decorated.
Whether you intend to or not, if you complete one of the above tasks, you'll know that your box has been unlocked. Inside can be an item from home, it doesn't matter how big or small. It doesn't need to belong to your character or your character's Eurydice, as long as it's something they might want. The box will have your character's name on it though and written in small script Good luck! Almost there. The item may also be a pet. You do not need to report this to the mods; we'll go by honor system.Mementos Mori Homesickness is a terrible thing. Complete one of these tasks and you may just find yourself with something to ease it.
✦ Bite someone with feeling and explain the feeling.
✦ Exchange thoughtful gifts with one other.
✦ Tell someone a secret, something you think that person should know about you.
i. central ice rink
Once properly attired, you are free to venture outside. Here, the fields of snow seem endless, bright beneath the winter sunshine. All that clean snow, just begging for someone to make footprints, construct castles, or initiate snow fights! What fun! What joy!
A little further ahead is a large lake, completely frozen over. There is a stand nearby offering skates of all sizes, for those who would like to skate along on top of the ice. There are also convenient guard rails along one edge of the lake for our timid novices. Take a few turns and get comfortable. Or maybe not too comfortable...
As you make your loops, you may notice movement, and as you coast to a stop, you will realize that the movement is in fact an image, a memory being played in full view on the ice beneath you. No matter where you skate off to, the memory will follow, seemingly endless in every direction. Of course, you could still try to stop the memory, perhaps by smashing your skate through the ice if you're desperate enough, but that will only send you and whoever is with you beneath the ice and into the freezing lake, where you will be both submerged.
Whatever happens, the memory will have a specific theme of either greed or charity, such as:
✦ A memory where you experienced some form of desire, possession, greed, or experienced the consequences of such greed from another.
✦ A memory where you experienced some form of charity, whether positive or negative -- when you received something from another that you desperately needed at the time. Perhaps it was a hopeful plea, perhaps it was demeaning humiliation. Or perhaps you were the one who sought to give, your intentions kind or conceited.
✦ A fantasy of all that you ever wished to possess, or one of all the things you've given to see others thrive.
ii. santa's workshop
If you venture down to the resort's basement, you will what looks like a charming, rustic... workroom? Or perhaps a storage room? There are piles upon piles of objects, some wrapped neatly in boxes, others still needing some work done, because apparently, all of these objects are broken in some way. There are instruments that still need to be stringed, shoes missing their pairs, flashlights that don't turn on, paddles with only the letters "Y A O" carved into them. Whatever you can think to find, you will -- except in a state of repair.
Just on the table beyond are a few very basic tools: screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches, etc, but the supplies themselves seem to be missing...? Turns out that if you want to fix an object, you'll have to take apart something else to get what you need. Unfortunately, you'll have to apply a little bit of elbow grease to get what you want -- as the objects themselves don't feel like giving them up? Stuffed animals will take a swat at you, toasters will hit you with their cords, and sexy lingerie may even attempt to strangle you...
But they're just objects, and you can obviously fight back. Or if not, then feel free to try other more peaceful approaches: such as mentioning a time, object, concept, etc that you wish you could have or return to or telling someone what you wish you could give them. Once shared, the objects will go back to normal.
iii. the charity auction
Ascend the stairs from the lobby into the resort's magnificent ballroom, where apparently some kind of banquet is underway? There are crowds of shadowy figures seated at tables and milling about, holding sparkling glasses of champagne and eating little appetizers from large trays, but most of the activity is directed towards the stage, where a shadowy auctioneer thumps their mallet and calls out the name of the newest object.
A name that turns out to be... yours! Before you know it, you are ushered onto stage, squinting against the bright lights to see the crowd beyond. Distantly, you can hear the auctioneer announce your name, a fun fact, and why exactly you deserve to be taken out! Whether on a hot date or wiped from the surface of the earth. Or maybe both?
The only way to leave is if some merciful soul makes a bid for you. For those who find themselves in the crowd, desperate to save whoever's on stage -- you will feel the urge to make your bid (or don't, maybe you think this is funny). Of course, the bid has to be... substantial. Money can only go so far... We're looking for creative bids here, y'know?
Once your bid is accepted, you may escort your prize from the stage. Please know that whatever the bid is -- it must be paid on the spot. Maybe you promised an ear lick or a kiss -- maybe you promised to be their servant for an hour henceforth. Whatever it is, you have to do it in the Grand Charity Gala room in order to be set free.
iv. snowman sculpting
Maybe you decide to go back outside after the warmth of the resort, or maybe you'd like to keep playing in the snow... Nearby are several different snow figures, all in need of decoration. They are just so sad and naked without you...
🥕 Carrot Nose: You feel an intense curiosity to know everything you've yet to learn about the person you're with. What's their blood type? What's their dream wedding venue? If they were wooed by a shark or a pirate, then which would they choose? The questions can be completely nonsensical and unrelated to each other. It doesn't matter, because you need to know!!
⚫ Coal Smile: You feel the burden of your sins weighing upon you. Suddenly, you need for the person you're with to forgive you for what you've done to them, or for what you will do. Maybe you feel the urge to confess to a curse. Maybe you want to tell them that you thought they were really annoying once. Or maybe you want to apologize for thinking they're a great big degenerate.
🧣 Cute Scarf: Congratulations! You Are A Child Now. Feel free to keep your adult minds, or revert back to the mindset you had as a smol baby.
🎩 Snazzy Bowler: You are on the run from your creditors. You must hide now! Now! Take whoever's with you so they don't sell you out to the IRS, or because they clearly have crimes they're on the run from too. Go and hide in a cramped closet together.
❌ Naked: For some reason, you don't want to dress any of these snowmen. Boo, tomato, tomato! You will be haunted by three ghostly versions of yourself: past, present, and future, who will all talk about your faults and how you are not a good person and how you should turn it all around somehow.
mod notes.
✦ Hello again, darling clowns! This week's log features both the aforementioned maze and our central locations! Feel free to write central-specific or maze-specific prompts. Or both!
✦ For the Ice Rink, mods will not be policing what memories (trululus) or fantasies (delulus) you choose to have your character share, but please keep to the themes of greed/charity! Moreso, memories must have a canon basis, even if they’re headcanon. However, fantasies can be from alternate route paths (otome/visual novel/AU style) as long as they’re within the set parameters. There will be more opportunities for this in the future, so don’t worry about not being able to give out your lore. Have fun!
✦ Questions specific to this log can be directed to the #mod-questions channel in the discord!
✦ Maze Runs are available for this week!
MAZE RUNS
Welcome to the Maze Run system! Characters can embark in groups of at least 2 people, maximum 4, to get lost further in the maze together. This does not have to be an IC choice as the beauty of mazes is that you can randomly run into each other at any point. Characters will be given three choices back and forth with mod responses and will walk away traumatized enlightened with what the maze has in store for them. Maze Runs may or may not branch off existing prompts, depending on what your mod fancies, but will overall exist within the setting of the maze.
If you're interested, please use the following form:
Character Names:
Actions Taken: Are they looking for anything in particular? They don't have to be, but it can give us a direction to start in.
OOC Wishes: Anything you'd like out of this adventure? A specific scare for your chara? Some injuries? Wanna see a ghost? Maybe they can kiss.
You may coordinate in the Discord or take it to DMs if you'd like to find a partner! If you have trouble finding a partner, you're always welcome to ask a mod to go with you. :)

Actions Taken: They're going to meet at FLOWER RAT BEAUTY SALON! Hien is mostly looking for any hair products if he can take any, since he wants to style some people's hair personally. Hak comes in because this is new and also tries to get hair products for Soowon's hair. They meet each other. Hien is like a deer in headlights. Hak BSODs for five seconds, until maze shenanigans happen.
OOC Wishes: Val wants Hak to get whatever kind of makeover the mods wish to give him--whether that be physical, emotional, or spiritual. As for me, Haki, I'm okay with anything. Give me your worst.

Actions Taken: AT SANTA'S WORKSHOP
Isabeau, with his experience from his CYOA, will be putting the finishing seams in some plush toys and looking guilty about it. Siffrin is on the lookout in the workshop for new wares to add to their woodcarving supplies/collection. Medea is here to inadvertently crash a date - she is looking around for anything odd or if she can find anything that isn't broken initially... santa must hate the children if everything is in a state of disrepair.
OOC Wishes: Quetz would like it if Isa can see color for a week but to also offset it with a curse to even it out. Zetsu would love if Siff can be cursed, and injuries would also be a treat. I am also here for Medea to get cursed for fun and profit (whatever vibes you want).

Actions Taken: They are just two men indulging in their whimsy and so starts their very good very wonderful day
OOC Wishes: Francy and I would like them to get caved in somewhere... and for Elysium to have to use his Arts specifically to reach a rescue team or someone else in Purgatory to get them out. 🥺 Give me my frail and delicate Victorian maiden era in these last two weeks of short-term, thank you! Dealer's choice on how awful they want to make this go otherwise yippee

Actions Taken: They too are at Santa's Workshop!
Tobari is going to be trying to make presents for others to fulfill the taskboard tasks! Obikawa will be looking for a lil brown teddy bear and just poking around to see what's there. Meanwhile Ryuji will (looks at notes) see if he can spot Santa because maybe Americans lie but he will be spooked if he does, and Reirin who also believes in Santa will be looking with him! She would be excited to find him but also nervous because she thinks the other three will be taken away for being on the naughty list :pensive:
OOC Wishes: GIVE US ANYTHING YOUR WILD LIL HEART DESIRES FRANCH

Actions Taken: They are at the charity auction! Sylus is investigating the auction's accounts to determine what charity they're giving to. Will he feel bad about trying to steal? Ilulu is hanging out, and Yuma is here to observe what manner of objects is going up for auction.
OOC Wishes: Pixi wishes for Yuma to be the most popular person at the auction . . . . . . Spoon says yes. Jae is easy and useless for it.

Actions Taken: They're all going to Mother Peter's Government Compliant Hospital to look for Oripathy treatment for Elysium! (It can just be medicine to treat the side effects if it's not the specific tech or medicine.) Fia would know what to look for since she works in the same pharmaceutical company as him. Yosuke is wearing his fancy glasses to help with the search. (ty voice) come at him, ghosts of medicines past. Lucien will be following Fia's orders. Tokinaga (lowe voice) always has a great time here and has done supply runs before. He'll follow Fia's instructions as to what to look for or get. Two bottoms, a cryptid, and their sister.
OOC Wishes: We are along for the ride!!! Our wish is for Elysium to not explode. As a note, I (Nat) got permission from Ly before setting this up!

[ You know the drill. Mafuyu knows the drill. She's studying the notice board and this time, as you approach-- ]
If you're going to bite me, please don't draw blood. That's unhygienic and a health concern.
[ Girl. ]
II. CHARITY AUCTION
[ She didn't really want to be brought to the stage. She's not even sure how she got up there in the first place (hauled by shadowy figures), shivering slightly under what feels like the unforgiving glare of the lights. But she stands there, a bit like a statue, as the auctioneer explains that she's a very obedient girl who will do everything that's asked of her and wow is she a whiz at English! She's a very attentive date who's also good with children and ghosts! What a catch!
... Has Mafuyu even blinked yet-- ]
III. SNOWMAN
[ There is a child. She doesn't look to be any older than six or seven, with big and bright blue eyes and purple hair, and maybe that's a little familiar? Or maybe it isn't. This little girl is running around in the snow, poorly dressed for the weather except for the scarf she's got wrapped around her neck.
And she is, in fact, colliding with your legs, comically windmilling backwards with a little yelp. Snow makes for a soft landing, at least. ]

[ are you at the river looking for your box? cool, hak is too. when he sees you, he'll motion you over. do you go? ]
ii. ice rink
[ does hak know how to skate, great question. even if he didn't, he probably learned pretty fast due to his
natural athletic ability. regardless, that's not the point. the point is if you would like a memory please come ice skate and i will rng something for you. or you can just ask for yaoi i guess. ]iii. snowman
[ do you wanna build a snowman? i will rng us a fun effect. or you can rng us a fun effect. or we can BOTH rng fun effects for maximum chaos. or i will just force you to endure hak as a shitty baby. ]
iv. c*miket
[ what better way to recover from watching your
doomed yaoiget eaten right in front of your salad than by surrounding yourself with questionable merch? he has somehow gotten into the nsfw section, probably because No One Thinks He's Fucking 18, and is currently flipping through a doujin of him and (throws dart) ryuji gazing deeply into each other's eyes.there is a (throws second dart) thorns boob mousepad at the table next to him and a (throws third dart) medea body pillow hanging above his head. ]

[ he’s truly just standing here staring at this board with the most unimpressed look on his face. biting???? WHY.
but if anyone approaches, he will glance over his shoulder with a raised eyebrow before tilting his head to the board. thoughts? ]
ii. rink
[ yosuke hanamura likes winter, actually, and for being a clumsy bitch he’s actually somewhat decent on skates. you may find him alone out on the lake, lazily looping back and forth before something plays out beneath him. he’s so distracted by the girl’s face, watching this play out that it’s entirely possible he’s no longer watching where he’s going. hopefully you aren’t in the way! ]
iii. auction
[ the worst part about all of this is that he’s stuck on stage and blocked in so he can’t even walk off. that’s already embarrassing in and of itself. the more embarrassing part is the way the auctioneer says his name, introducing him as "a good starter boyfriend until you’re ready to move on to bigger and better things! wage slave by day, hero by night, he’s directionless, and he’ll bend over backwards to please!" isn’t that great?
he’s going to blow up the stage, actually. ]
iv. snowman
[ out in the snow, there is a child? you may or may not recognize him right away given the fact his hair is not orange, but he seems to be observing a snowman he’s built and deciding what else he should add. come help? i will rng an effect, you can rng an effect, i don’t care. you may also specify non-child version if you would prefer! ]

[stares at this notice board, as he turns a little red.]
Biting? Did Hien write these tasks!?
ii. outside the resort
[this is the funniest possible week for winter wonderland, by which i mean that someone has returned to his sickly victorian maiden era, so normally the sudden cold when inappropriately dressed wouldn't be that big of an issue, but right now? despite the resort not being that far, lucien... doesn't make it...
so yeah, you might find him half-collapsed in the snow not far from the resort, looking a little like he's about to just keel over all the way.]
iii. ice rink
[does lucien know how to skate? no. he's staying by the rails because he does not trust his body to stay balanced right now.
but this is to say let me know if you would like a greed or charity memory... heads-up that either will probably contain some flavour of death but also if you would like to avoid suicide triggers, lemme know!]

[it's not the first time Edamura has gone ice skating, and yet. . .! he has never really managed to perfect the skill. he wobbles on the ice like a newly born giraffe, brows furrowed in complete and utter concentration as he slooooowly glides across the glassy surface]
[. . . and then his skate catches onto something and he pitches forward with a startled yelp. then he faceplants right onto the ice, skidding a few inches with ass in the air and everything]
[EMBARRASSING. too lazy to write up a memory right now I'll do it next tag I promise]
b. auction
[in his simple blue jeans and cozy sweater, Edamura is way underdressed for this event]
Wait, what!? Hold on a second! I don't remember signing up for this--!
[he is also protesting very loudly as the shadowy figures hoist him onto the stage, practically shoving him into the spotlight where he stumbles and then stands stock still, staring out at the audience like a deer caught in a pair of headlights. the auctioneer chuckles before beginning the sales pitch]
Here he is, everyone! Edamura Makoto, so lovingly known as Edamame to his most trusted inner circle, a man who could certainly use a thrilling night out on the town to get him to relax a little! And he could be all yours for just--
[. . . the semi-insulting introduction goes completely ignored as Edamura takes a step back, trying his best to duck out of the spotlight and flee as soon as he can, his heart thrumming uncomfortably in his throat. hm. does he just not like charity auctions?]
c. wildcard
[I'M EASY HIT ME UP WITH LITERALLY ANYTHING]
B
Well.
Okay. He doesn't have any money, because he's always a broke ass no matter where he goes. But he feels like he should save Edamura from this, because this is really... hm. He doesn't like this for a variety of reasons, but he's mostly concerned for Edamura.
However. ]

This is stupid.
b. snowman
[ just like everyone else i want a baby prompt so sue me. but there is a child wandering around the snow... there is a snowman nearby. he occasionally glances over at it before looking away. hmmm. ]
c. ice rink
[ well okay you're skating and thorns is skating whatever we know how these goes. but a memory starts to play beneath the ice...
there are two men on a pirate ship that is moving rapidly through a barren wasteland. while one is obviously thorns, the other man is unfamiliar. the ship is old, and falling apart, but the two pay no mind to that. instead, they are locked in a fierce sword fight with each other, lunging and attacking each other while blocking blows.
a conversation (stop at 4:56) occurs as they fight. ]

[Yuma stands before the bulletin with a box tucked against his side. After several beats, he turns to the nearest person.]
Shall we begin?
B. Central ice rink
( ooc: For the duration of the memory, Yuuma refers to this character and has always been the appropriate pronunciation. Yuma as written below is a different name. )
[The memory on the surface of the ice opens to the corridor of a massive flagship.
Hunched forward with his eyes glued to the floor, Yuuma trails after a petite woman, all but dragging his feet until he grinds to a halt.
"Yuma, wh-what should I do . . . ," he says, weakly.
The woman known as Yuma stops with her shoulder pointed at Yuuma. A deafening silence falls between the two before she answers, "As dead weight? How about holding back your allies? While you're at it, maybe killing them would be a good idea, too."
Yuuma raises his head in horror. "Wha . . . ?! I, I'm . . . !"
"You just enjoy making a fuss and unreasonable arguments. Oh, since you seem to have a way with words, why don't you become a con artist? A loser's face like yours should be perfect for eliciting sympathy."
"I, I'm a warrior. I fight d-dr-dragons."
"A warrior who fights dragons? You, who fainted, were shaking like a brat, and are now clinging to me for advice? How dare you." Yuma scoffs while Yuuma tucks his chin into his chest, unable to meet her gaze. "You're kidding, right? Are you being serious? Because if you are, I'm shocked there's someone in this world who can be so shameless."
Yuuma swallows. His voice is small as he stammers, "I, I'm sorry . . . "
Yuma mutters to herself in audible disapproval. Then she rounds on him, orders him to clench his teeth, and kicks him in the stomach. Like a rag doll, Yuuma goes down without resistance when he's seized by the collar.
"Yuuma, wake up." Yuma winds a fist back. She slams it in his face, then climbs on top of him and continues to rain down blows. "You damn idiot! For what purpose did you cram all that knowledge into your head!"
Blow after blow, she strikes his face.
"Do you have time to be half-asleep? You inept fool! You're incompetent! If you're so spineless, you should just be discharged right here and now! Is that physique of yours just for show?!"
Yuuma cranes his neck after another punch. Their eyes—wet and cool, respectively—lock for a fleeting second when she slaps him with enough force to snap his head aside.
"You're all talk! I'll smash that annoying mouth of yours, you fraud! Come on, say something!" Her knuckles smash into his face again and again, but Yuuma neither cries out nor protests. "Are you going to betray your own words? You're here to kill dragons, aren't you?! That's why you're here! Which one are you—a warrior?! Or are you trash?!"
She stops her onslaught to rear back.
"Ah, what was it? 'I don't think there's any prestige in hunting the dregs of a True Dragon like FH'? What, were you just bragging?"
"I . . . "
Before he can muster the words, she strikes his cheek again. "What, trash? Are you sorry for being born? Come on, say it!"
Yuuma falls silent.
Then, in a flash, he rises up with a scream. Balling his left hand into a tight fist, he uses the momentum of his ascent to drive it into her side. The force of the punch blows Yuma away like cannon fire as Yuuma, his face contorted in a mass of emotions, roars, "I . . . ! I'm not trash!"
The vision blinks out of existence, unveiling instead the blurred reflections of the people standing atop the ice. Yuma, who was watching quietly, straightens and walks away after a moment, having gone without skates.]
C. Snowman sculpting
[Yuma stares at the templates of snow, not following. He subconsciously reaches out to grab the hand of the nearest passerby.]
What is the purpose of these figures?

If you stay still, I won't bite too hard.
[ she is probably joking. ]
i. ice rink
if anyone is trying to get on the ice, medea comes skating by and grabs their hand. ]
Do you trust me?
[ anyway, please choose greed or charity for memory. greed contains a cw of the character eros. charity contains the likelihood of me, ara, lovemailing medea's brother in the meta maybe. ]
iv. you want to build a snowman
what matters is that there a very precocious girl who approaches and sweeps her skirts into a perfect and cute curtsy. also, maybe the snowman behind her also a carrot nose to go with the cute scarf. ]
Pardon my intrusion, but have you seen anyone who looks like me?
[ wait this means i have to make child icons ]
wildcard
i
As much as I trust anyone, Miss Medea.
[ that says enough doesn't it?
gimme whichever one you want to give, sweet ara ]

[ Someone looks like he's enjoying himself, skating on the ice with the skates from the stands and is spraying ice everywhere whenever he hits the brakes to stop. For people who notice, sometimes he draws a heart on the ice. Or a spiral. Whatever simple design for his complex movements on the ice. He doesn't have the grace of a regular ice skater though. He simply is.
Let me know if you want a greed or charity memory! Or either one. ]
ii. comiket
[ There is a person in a pacman costume browsing R18 stuff. ID? He's shown it. Don't worry about it. It goes back inside the costume before anyone can see it. A mystery... who is this...
He's flipping through a doujin with you and someone else in it. I'm gonna rng it for all taggers. If he's not flipping through the pages, he's taking many charms... ]
Interesting.
[ This guy at least sounds normal and different. Not like Hien at all... ]

If you want "child" Hien, let me know and I'll give you that. ]

doomed duo joint tl but this time they're tiny
the disastrous duo has found themselves somewhere in the maze, and they are now sharing a scarf. does this imply that they put the scarf on the snowman, got cold, and then took the scarf for themselves? maybe it does. but they wouldn't. surely not. they are an angelic little pair. and they are perhaps, occasionally, sparing glances at you... mumbling at the volume where kids think they're being quiet but they really, really aren't ]
... but they don't seem as gruff as Ogi! I think we might be able to ask them. Don't you think, Hak?
No way! They look like they would tie us up and make us eat eggplant for a week.
[ but soo-won is ignoring him, already ambling up toward you and by nature of tandem scarf hak is also being pulled along ]
Veggies are good for you! Excuse me, we need help!
[ there is not necessarily an order... it is probably free for all... we might threadjack you at random... they are good children really believe us ]

—Hey! [ THEY ARE STILL CONNECTED BY THIS SCARF ] You can't just trust every grown-up you meet!

[Catch him standing in front of the signboard, hands on his hips as he reads over the newest text.]
Woah! These get easier every time. I should be allowed to open a box retroactively, though!
[He bites so many people? Hello? HE WANTS HIS CAT.]
ii - ice rink;
[He's just on his back sliding by across the ice... Why wear ice skates when you can simply become one with mother nature?]
Damn, ice is cold.
[Thanks for the astute observation king. ANYWAY HIT ME UP HERE AND I WILL GIVE MEM you can grab me at my inbox too.]
iii - flower rat beauty salon;
[Does he stop to give these rats a bombastic sideeye? MAYBE SO... But it doesn't stop him from coming in to take a peek at the hair care products.]
So this is where they've been keeping all of the good stuff.
[HIS CONDITIONER!!!! Catch him there or rummaging through the closet, but in either case, turning to face whoever joins him with a cheery:] Let me give you something! [Which is probably a fine and totally normal something don't worry about it listen here.]

a. heart tasks
[Isabeau is hard at work in Purrfect Penance today. Wherein he is found having taken over a chunk of the main room beyond the entrance, commandeering several tables and a few of those overstuffed armchairs to his cause. A large array of tiny plushies sits on the table: traditional bears of course, but also cats and dogs, mice, birds, worms- if you can think of it, it's probably there! Surrounding Isabeau are several boxes of what appear to be accessory supplies: strips of colorful fabrics, pins, beads, sequins and jewels, the works.
If you pass by while he's working on this, he'll flag you down.]
Hey! Wanna help me open my box?
b. the charity auction
[No special prompt. Isabeau walked up on the stage and sat in the chair himself. Go on! Bid on him! If he has to explore this maze in order to progress, then by the Change God themself, he is going to have fun doing it. Let the poor man party after a rough weekend (or make his life worse that would be so funny). Tag in and I'll RNG you one of Isabeau's most "likeable" traits and why he's worth "taking out."]
c. hot mess hotsprings
[Isabeau stands before the hot springs wearing nothing but his eyepatch and a fluffy white towel around his waist. Holding onto the guardrail, he appears to be glaring daggers into the water. He also looks chilled. Like he's already been standing in the cold air for quite a few minutes.
He takes in another deep breath. It's not even that deep. He can literally see the bottom through all the steam! A mere few steps and he will be in super comfortable, slightly above waist-deep water! Just walk in already, dude!]
d. wildcard
(Hit me with anything else! Now that I'm starting to wrap up cyoa threads I'll be hitting my week4/5 backlog as well, so thank you for your patience with me y'all.)
c
...Isa? [ It's easy to recognize that large, prettily freckled shouldered back.
Siffrin is here without any of their normal garb, just a very long white towel around their waist that hangs like a long skirt. No eyepatch in sight - no need to risk getting it wet. So their ugly scarring over their left eye is there to see, along with plenty of scars that litter their body. Some new, some old.
There's less hesitation in his own steps as he steps over, before taking a few steps into the waters and turning a little to offer a hand out to him. ]
Can take it slowly.
