test drive maze.
test drive maze.
The fog spits you right out.
Where there had once been cloud and murkiness obscuring your vision, in the next instant, you blink and it’s gone. Instead, here you are. Among the woods. Dead, fragile leaves crunch beneath your every step. Tall, ancient trees tower above you. Sometimes, somewhere, you hear a skitter or a shudder of what might be wildlife or friend or foe. No matter how you might call out, you hear only your own echo–for now. Distantly, you recall the pact that brought you here. Welcome to Purgatory. Perhaps it lines up with what you always imagined, some dreary place washed in grayscale and so terribly, terribly lonely. Or maybe it’s worse. (It probably is not better.) All the same, you chose to come here, even if its specifics were unknown to you. There is something you are looking for–and of course it’s not so simple as to be found at the entrance.
No, you must head further in. Even though the trees seem to turn into natural barricades at some spaces, guiding you down paths until you hit inevitable forks–or sometimes dead ends. There is no map or rhyme or reason, but so much of the scenery looks the same. Overhead, there is the occasional dimming or lightening of your surroundings but with the perpetual gloom, it can be easy to lose track of days. How long have you been here? Do you need to eat? Sleep? Or do you just want to, just to feel something? It’s hard to say. Nonetheless, you persist.
No way forward but through.
i. compati falls
The sound of water comes first to you as a whisper, then a roar. Following the noise will bring all travelers to a waterfall. Where the water is coming might mystify you, as the land you are traversing has been so flat this entire time, but it falls nonetheless as though amnesia has stolen its memories of being able to do anything else.
Speaking of memories…
Perhaps you might spare the waterfall merely a glance, but it will suddenly become very hard to look away. Within its reflection, you might see a memory play out, or perhaps a fantasy. Maybe even a fear. However, this selection of snippets is specific. Every memory or illusion carries with it strong feelings of either kindness or envy. The most common are:
✦ A concrete memory of the greatest act of kindness you ever received, or ever gave to another.
✦ A fantasy of the type of kindness you crave most–whether it be from someone you know, or some faceless ghost granting you what you yearn for.
✦ A concrete memory or delusion of someone, familiar or not, receiving something that you wish that you had.
ii. arachnix borough
The ground gives way underneath you. You tumble, scramble, fumble your way down overgrown roots and eat dirt until you finally find yourself caught. A silk embrace awaits you, alarmingly sticky despite its delicate-looking strings. Strong, too. Thrash about as you might, it’s harder than you want to admit to even lift a limb from where you’ve been ensnared. For those of you with powers, they flicker worse in here, like something is cutting off the energy before it takes shape. Yell for help and perhaps someone will hear your echoing screams, but at present there is only you, the darkness, and the skittering.
You won’t have to wait long. The spiders felt the reverberation from your fall and have come to feast. Monstrous things. Gargantuan. Where most spiders have eight legs, these have so many more. The skittering turns into mocking, pointed insults that sting worse than poison. You may die soon, but they also won’t let you keep your pride. Their fangs widen, sickening venom dripping from their gaping mouths as they stare at you with too many eyes. Though as you stare too long, those horrible faces shift–instead you are staring into the too many eyes of your rival, or perhaps your best friend. Someone you desperately wish you could be more like, that has traits that you only wish you could inherit. Maybe then you could be better.
The trees above whisper a hint to you. Admit it. Swallow your pride and speak your green eyed monster into reality. Only a beast can kill a beast. Should you speak your horrid truth out loud–admit your ugliest feelings–you will receive a boon. Enough strength to break the webs, certainly, but you may take on monstrous features. Horns, fangs, claws–whatever it takes to defeat the spider.
Or you could wait for the kindness of someone else to help you. Unlikely, as they may just as well get stuck in this web too. Fucking loser.
iii. mirrorshift willows
The trees shift and warp over time, evolving into what you might be able to recognize as weeping willows. Their trunks curve protectively over your path, as if to shield you from any watchful eyes. Their long leaves drape, possessing an unearthly shimmer. The vines sway and dance, catching against what little light there is to be found, until they resemble strings of light. It possesses its own kind of uncanny beauty as you amble along, though it may grow a beat unsettling as you find that the trees and foliage swift and swoon to the rhythm you set. Or perhaps you’d find that type of thing charming if you like attention.
Should you find yourself with another in the grove, you’ll find that the copycat tendencies of the trees reflect upon their visitors. Any act you do unto someone else, they will feel compelled to do back to you–and vice versa. Picking a fight? Well, even the most demure person will end up throwing an insult right back. Baring your heart on your sleeve? The other person might feel moved into sudden vulnerability. Are you touchy, whether in the form of a handhold or a punch? Well, hope you are ready to receive what you dish out because it’s coming right back to you!
The golden rule–to treat someone else the way you want to be treated–really backfires in practice, doesn’t it?
iv. house :)
As you approach, you make out that the tiling on the house seems to be… gumdrops? Not to mention the doorframe made of chocolate bars, and as you walk in, the furniture all looks so delectably edible. Even for those who don’t have a sweet tooth, there’s plenty that’s sour, tart, salty, whatever you might be craving after having nothing to eat in this godforsaken forest besides spiders. Not that you ate the spiders. (Did you?)
Something beckons you to eat. There’s even a small note on the table saying: Welcome, weary traveler. Indulge as you please. They’re like, begging you to help reduce food waste. It’s a moral imperative. It’ll take immense willpower to resist. You should eat. Just a bite. A nibble. A lick. Yum.
Depending on what color of candy you indulge in, you might experience a different tingle. (Effects last as long or as short as a player wants them to.)
🟠 Orange: You suddenly feel compelled to demonstrate kindness, even to total strangers–though that may vary from person to person. Maybe your kindness is brutal honesty. Maybe it’s handholds. Maybe it’s bold declarations of devotion. As long as you can look back and say, “Wow, I was truly fulfilling a kind deed, even to this total rando.”
🟢 Green: Is it you, or is the nearest person suddenly kind of… all that? There’s something about them that you suddenly feel ravenous envy over. Their hair, their eyes, their impeccable charm, their godlike athleticism? Pick a feature! How did you not notice this five seconds ago?! And here you are, looking like such a naive peon in comparison! The dirt under their shoe! Disgusting!
😈 Purple: Oh… well… maybe you’re starting to feel a little bit… cheeky? ;) You know, just a smidgen mischievous? Maybe you’re in a weird situation with a bunch of strangers, but what could liven up the atmosphere better than a prank? Or a little razzing? Go get ‘em, you little tease! Rascal that you are!
🔵 Blue: God bless you and the fact that you’re the only sane person here. Some might call this behavior a bit sanctimonious, but as far as you’re concerned, you’ve just seen the grace of the heavens and must now walk upon the righteous path. And because of all the goodness in your heart, you will also grab hold of everyone else without their permission and make sure that they too will be saved. Go forth, my child.
Though eventually you might hear some heavy footsteps indeed.... get it together! A giant witch is coming. And she finds that you might be the one sweet enough to eat. Won't you let her have just a nibble? Just a taste?
mod notes.
✦This Test Drive Maze is canon to the game! Players may bring characters that they aren’t planning on apping as well if they would like to voicetest, and invited guests may play on the TDM without apping as well. Characters who are not apped into the game will disappear out of sight, back into the fog…
✦ Characters do not need to eat or sleep any longer, though it’s variable how soon they might notice that. Their circadian rhythm might encourage them to sleep or feel something like hunger, but they’ll find that they actually can still keep going without either. It feels a little… out of body.
✦ For Compati Falls, 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 kindness/envy! 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 TDM can be directed to the #mod-questions channel in the discord!
✦ Maze Runs are available for the Test Drive Maze. Since the TDM will be open for two weeks, you may submit one run per week! You may begin requesting second runs on Friday, November 7th.
MAZE RUNS
Welcome to the Maze Run system! Characters can embark in groups of at least 2 people, maximum 4 for the TDM, 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
traumatizedenlightened 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. (In the TDM's case, this is Spooky Forest.) For insight on how this worked in a previous game, you can see examples here!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:
lowe: two losers wander off thinking about cats and experience the horrors as a result
aka Lucien & Tokinaga are wandering around looking for some kind of destination and Yuma joins them along the way! Then (jae voice) hak as the guy who joins them last like "oh, take me with you" and then ten minutes later going "we're looking for a way out, right?" while the three stare at him. ICly Lucien and Tokinaga are starting from the Compati Falls area but the maze run does not have to be that location.
OOC Wishes: I think we are all unhelpful here in that none of us have specific wishes atm. :pensive: Maybe Hak and Tokinaga can kiss which I can add because I'm the one filling out this form. oh wait val says she wants to kiss yuma

Actions Taken: Edamura and Tsukasa are specifically looking for signs that this is a very elaborate set! Things like trap doors, hidden cameras, etc etc. . . Mafuyu is looking for a better understanding of where they are. Akira, as their only non-normie, is their bodyguard
OOC Wishes: Terrorize Tsukasa with bugs. Mild injuries so Akira can try to tank them for the team and Mafuyu can be a nurse.

Actions Taken: Their primary objective is to search for clues about the memory loss pertaining to their arrival in Purgatory, with the sidebar of figuring out the how and maybe where they all came in. Yosuke and Yuma are starting from the house after ditching the witch, who would not tell them today's date unless Yosuke fed her his arm (he stingily refused), so they probably won't backtrack too much in the interest of studying their present surroundings, and will soon cross paths with Siffrin, who tags along for fun.
OOC Wishes: Zetsu would like a kiss for Yosuke, but Ty doesn't think he deserves one. While we don't have specific scares in mind, Ty would like something that might rattle them! And I'm happy with any surprise (I am the least helpful person here).

Actions Taken:
Rafayel needs signal to contact his MC so he's wandering around with his phone looking to find even a smidgen of a bar. Elysium, seeing this, offers help in a burst of confidence!! Since this is his specialty!! Only he turns out to be completely useless and they both end up roaming aimlessly together trying to figure out if there's somewhere else they might be able to get through.
Lemuen sees this disaster and probably wants no part of it, but that's oomc (one of her colleagues) so she approaches to try and help.
OOC Wishes: Please just give us something as chaotic as possible! Make them feel like they just went through one acid trip… Lemuen is already injured but everything is fair game for Elysium and Rafayel!

tobari | illusion of itehari
a. compati falls
[ where there was once the rush of water, everything shifts to warm hues, woody browns and soft red lantern light. the illusion that the water brings you into is perfumed with heavenly aromas, floral and seductive. you've wandered into someone else's memory. eventually, your footsteps lead you to a hallway with two diverging paths. to the left, there is the sound of a child crying. to the right, a the tinkling of porcelain cups and light, feminine laughter. which path do you take? ]
b. mirrorshift willows
[ this is a freaky little wood with awful twists and turns everywhere, but this guy? sightseeing apparently. having reached the point in the willows where they all turn gleaming, shimmering colors, tobari has fully stopped. his arms are crossed in front of him and he watches the swaying vines like he's evaluating a performance, but he's fascinated nonetheless
he mumbles to himself, not fully realizing he has company, ]
Is this... what the surface is like?
c. house! :) !!!
[ tobari isn't necessarily much of a glutton, but he looks fascinated at the idea of a gumdrop house to begin with. as he's perusing the interior, he'll turn suddenly as soon as the door opens and—click
you're staring down the barrel of a gun
oh ok what now ]
c.
So Tsukasa is keeping his hands to himself for now as he squints at the house (maybe there's a witch in there. Maybe there are children that need rescuing???), and then with that last thought spurring him onward, Tsukasa opens the door and--
Gun?
Gun???
Obviously, he lifts both of his hands placatingly in a panic, face pale.]
Wh-whoa! Don't shoot!!

The sudden change is a surprise -- and maybe it should frighten too, but Reirin merely stands in place for a moment, tilting her head this way and that, taking in her surroundings. The clink of cups and laughter are familiar, the sounds of crying are not.
She takes the path to the left... who is crying...]

kou reirin | though i am an inept villainess
Hello...!
[amidst the sticky cocoon of webbing, dirt, and who knows what else -- a voice... apparently coming from a neighboring cocoon, small in size but still clearly Human Shaped. after a beat, slender fingers wriggle through, pulling just enough of a gap to show a sliver of Reirin's dirt-streaked face.
she would wave, but she is cocooned... she seems happy to see you, whether you're free or also encased...]
I thought I was alone! What a relief.
[IS IT.......?]
B. grandmother willow....?
[okay yes the forest is spooky -- in fact the entire vibes are Spooky, but the willows are kind of darling? At least, they haven't tried to string Reirin up like the spiders... yet. She's taking a moment to rest at the foot of a willow, but she'll raise her head and smile at whoever approaches,]
...Oh, dear.
[her smile fades just a bit, and then she raises a hand in a 'come hither' gesture.]
Could you come a little closer please?
C. CANDY!!!!
[Reirin is currently exploring with wide-eyed wonder, momentarily distracted by the architectural marvel (or headache) of this house. She reaches all the way up on her tippytoes to touch the edge of a roof tile, then falls back to the ground with a thump of her heels.]
Even the roof is made of sugar!
[she's never heard of hansel and gretel in her life so all of this is very new to her? she presents her open palm, showing off the chocolatey smear.]
I wonder how long it would hold up in the rain...
[HOW DOES A PERSON LIVE IN A HOUSE LIKE THIS...]
D. wildcard.
[hit me with anything.... tag each other under my toplevel be wild and free]
a.
It is really nice of her to try to make conversation, it really is. But Tsukasa is also cocooned (of course he is) and looks like he is about a hair away from collapsing in a panic.
This is... a giant spider web. This is a giant spider web, isn't it? This is a giant spider web this is--]
H... huh?
[Did... did someone say something?]
Wh-who's there?! [Not the spider, Tsukasa. That is a young woman.]

lucien neuschburn | even if tempest
[something about the water seems to make lucien uncomfortable, but anyway a memory is reflected in its surface! or rather the beginnings of one as i try to dig it up, but it starts with the owner of the memory... reading a letter?
once lucien notices the memory and that you are here and SEEING it, he seems a little panicked.]
Ah...!
ii. arachnix
[the monstrous spiders are taking on the faces of three different men. dw about it. at least they're very attractive monster spider men with too many eyes.
lucien is NOT listening to the trees' whisper, though.]
I have no desire to listen to a disembodied voice, thank you kindly—!
[continues to struggle in the web... unfortunately this seems to be reopening a wound in his arm, and the blood seeping through his sleeve is pretty dang visible given that he's just wearing white sleepwear. owie. this is not stopping him.
please help.]
iv. house
[lucien definitely did not eat the spiders, so here we are.
picks up a candy. stares dubiously. struggles internally. puts it down. storms out of the house to resist temptation.
comes back inside. stares at the candy. picks one up. possibly goes through this process again with the look of someone having an internal crisis between his good sense of not getting poisoned vs TEMPTATION AND MORAL IMPERATIVES!!]
iv.
Notes this with a blink.
Loops back around in time to see him go back inside.
... Uh. He pokes his head in after, head tilting.]
Is everything okay in here?

yosuke hanamura | persona 4
[ hello. welcome to
hellpurgatory. you may notice there is a cocoon not too far from you that is almost-violently wriggling. ]Let me out, damnit! [ it's a muffled yell, the tangle of sticky, silky strands writhing and rustling as a blade suddenly pokes through, tearing a small hole to reveal a boy's face. he looks pretty pissed actually, and he's struggling to work his arm free and try to cut himself out. this also means the skittering of the spiders draws closer and faster, but yosuke does stop long enough to notice he isn't alone. ]
Hey, uh... how many free limbs do you have right now?
[ what if we simply kill monsters. ]
ii. house
[ eventually, he makes his way to the house and he's standing on the outside with his arms folded over his chest and examining the structure in equal parts fascination and uncertainty. he doesn't seem like he's too sure about going inside, but as you approach you may hear him say: ]
... wouldn't it be all hard by now? [ how can you eat a house made of old candy??? perhaps he is assuming it's old even though it does look tempting. this does not stop him from inching closer though, oops. ]
iii. wildcard
[ slap me with one of the other prompts, let's go. ]
i.
Because that's what we're trending towards.
Because Tsukasa was absolutely just halfway to hyperventilating as the situation sinks in--
And then the knife just appearing out of that cocoon plus the question are both so unexpected that it knocks him right out of his panic for the moment. He blinks.]
Er.
[Glances at himself.]
... One?
[One single arm, which he kind of... wiggles around ineffectually to demonstrate.]
Why... do you ask?

Yuma Kisaragi | 7th Dragon III
[For how apparent it is that he's not alone in the woods, it takes some time before he notices another presence in the vicinity. Their paths cross before long, and he greets the unfamiliar face with a courteous smile.]
As I thought, I was not the only one to enter the woods. Are you following the sound of water as well?
B. House.
[He did not eat the spiders lest they throw off his nutrient intake for the day.
For some reason, a part of him wants to eat the candy. The rational side says that's a terrible idea. His persisting smile wobbles just a bit as he looks at the nearest person with a disapproving crease in his brow.]
Are you going to eat that? You shouldn't. Putting aside the question of hygiene, the sugar content in one piece alone must be quite high.
a.
[Tsukasa blinks at the question, brow furrowing as he thinks about it. He...
... Well...]
I can't entirely remember, but! I think I'm supposed to be looking for something? And there is no time like the present to push onward!
[... Right?]
Still, now that you mention it! Searching for water is usually the first step when lost, isn't it?

Mafuyu Asahina | Project Sekai
[ The waterfall is soothing in a sense. Or so Mafuyu might have said, but. It's fine. You don't know what she's thinking because the waterfall is right there and it's a tad distracting. There's just a scene, a little girl sick and sniffling in bed, an older woman with hair the same shade of purple talking soothingly to her and cutting up cute bunny apple slices.
It feels. Warm. So very warm, and maybe you get the sense that this is the warmest you'll feel for years, but--
Then it's gone. And the same girl (maybe?) but older is about to walk right into the water, apparently!
It's fine! ]
b.) Mirrorshift Willows
[ By this point, Mafuyu has come to the realization that nothing is as it seems here. Or there's always more to it.
Hence why she's in the grove, brow lightly furrowed as she walks around, stops, reverses course, reverses course again--
The trees are kind of going along with it, so maybe you can puzzle out what she's doing. ]
c.) Hus
[ She looks decidedly unimpressed at this point by the time she enters the house, though the expression lasts only as long as it takes for you to approach her. At which point, her expression turns rueful and a tad cautious. ]
Are you familiar with Hansel and Gretel?
a.
It's the only explanation, honestly (unless it's a weird SEKAI thing), and he is happy to just go along with it for now. He'll wander, and eventually he'll wake up! Easy!
...
Wait.
He only barely processes the scene when he sees her walk towards the water, and then he rushes forward. He... recognizes that purple ponytail.]
Asahina-san!! Wait!

edamame | great pretender
[there is no memory reflected in the surface of the falls. at least. . . not yet! but that is only because some wayward traveler outfitted with a nice, hefty backpack is sticking his hand right into the water, allowing it to cascade across his fingers as he marvels at the sight. he has clearly never gone camping before. no respect for nature!!]
[if he sees you nearby, he may just perk up and give you a small tilt of his head in greeting]
How do you think they got it to fall this way?
[. . . "they?"]
b. mirrorshift willows
[oof. sorry, someone just bumped into you from behind! not hard enough to do anything more than maybe send you tripping forward a step or two, but come on. was he not watching where he was going?]
Oh-- sorry!
[at least he hops back a moment later, hands held upwards, palms facing forward]
I was a little distracted. . . ! That's my fault--
[this would be no big deal in any other circumstances, but uh. are you gonna be compelled to bump into him in return?]
c. house
[time for this li'l wayward bean to stare at the spread of candy with hands curled around the straps of his backpack, brows raised in open suspicion. he makes no move to sit at the table, nor to help himself to a nice treat after a long day of meandering about in the woods. and in fact, if it looks like you're going in for a snack. . .]
Whoa, whoa!
[he is going to actively stop you by grasping at the back of your shirt]
Come on, man. Haven't you heard this one before?
[Hansel and Gretel]
d. wildcard
[I AM SUPER EASY, HIT ME UP WITH LITERALLY ANYTHING!]
b.
Not a problem at all! I understand that our surroundings are quite fantastical and hard to look away from!
[He says all of this, still smiling, and then as if he can't help himself, he absolutely steps forward to bump Edamura with his shoulder in return.]

sachiyuki tokinaga | after god
Hello...
[ But you don't see anyone around you. How could this be? ]
Um... hi! Hello! Help me please!
[ The voice sounds like it's from around here, but maybe it's how the woods echo that make it so strange. It's almost as if it's coming from -- ]
Not down there! Up here! I'm stuck, could you spare a moment of your time to help me get down? Pretty please?
[ Oh yeah. That's some guy stuck in the web. Well? ]
ii. WATERFALLS
Do I wish Obikawa was here?...
[ He glances towards the waterfall, and there's a blooming memory of Tokinaga himself walking into an apartment. He opens the door, and inside is... another man, incredibly tall and lanky, and he is playing video games on the TV. Upside down. Doing the splits.
The Tokinaga in the memory simply walks up to him and karate chops him in the nuts without a word. If you want to know how this ties into kindness/envy, you'll just have to tag me and find out. ]
...No, I need to do this alone.
iii. THE OSHA VIOLATION
It's definitely a nice change in scenery, but I'm pretty sure I read about something like this a long time ago. Do you think we should go in?
[ Assigns you within speaking distance, stranger or not. ]

Kaveh | Genshin Impact
Spiders
[He's definitely trussed up. He's going to look like Frodo in Shelob's lair soon. Please help him. Sweet Mehrak is beeping in distress and hovering around him, but it is just a floating suitcase, it cannot do anything about this.]
Oh, come on, what the--they're huge?! Why are they huge! I didn't sign up to deal with huge spiders! I've changed my mind, about all of this, actually, so if someone could hELP ME GET OUT OF HERE-- ANYONE--EUGH--
[GIT!!!]
House
[Yes okay he's hungry and all but like
He's also just staring at this house and having complicated architect emotions
Is it horrible? Kind of, but it's also so unique that he almost has to respect whoever made it. But also, why did they do this? Why is the chimney looking intentionally crooked? Did they they think bright colors could make up for the incredibly plain doors? What even are half of these materials? He can't decide how to feel about this house. Well, except for one thing:]
This can't possibly be structurally sound.

akira kurusu | persona 5
anyway just wildcard me. or hit me up for a custom starter and i'll cook something after i reconstitute. otherwise, you can also run into him in the house prompt where he'll be napping on a gumdrop chair by the fire because there's no cat around telling him what to do anymore. here's some info on him if you need it. idk he's here to vibe. ]

unfortunately that means hak is prodding akira in the head with the end of his glaive to see if he's still alive as he snoozes by the fire. sorry. ]

Isabeau | In Stars and Time
[He feels like he's been wandering forever. Even the willow trees, once new and suggestive of progress, now arc in the same sky obscuring and path-twisting way the last forest did. With every turn, they turn with him. Every step, a shift in shimmering leaves. Nothing changes. Hues blend together. And everything is so crabbing quiet. Isabeau doesn't feel tired, exactly, but there's a certain malaise to the trail of his boots as he stops under the nearest tree and presses his hand to the bark.]
...Feels like bark.
[Riveting. Can the scholar present a more noteworthy observation?]
I wonder if this is what being frozen in time is like?
[Now we're getting somewhere. Have a good old philosophical chat with yourself while you wander a wood that looks increasingly like the very curse you fled when you came here. Is this what being frozen in time is like? Utter monotony? If only there was someone else here to answer his question, and perhaps also ask him questions, back and forth...]
b. house
( wildcard 1! Give me a candy and I will write up Isabeau having eaten one, and accosting your character with the results. )
c. wildcard 2!
( You want something specific from Isabeau? Tag me with anything, either from the prompts or completely off the cuff unrelated. Feel free to ping in the discord or DM if you want to run anything by me first. Isa's info and permissions post is here! )
a!
jing yuan gazes upon the trees as well, musing to himself that he's yet to take a nap today. (very strange, when sleep is a favorite pastime for him.)
the question sparks interest. he knows a thing or two about trees and eternity, though perhaps not in the way isabeau is thinking. ]
It is rather like immortality, is it not? You can observe the movement, but not the change.
...Do you believe time should preserve all things in eternal beauty?
[ asked openly, without judgement. most people would describe this landscape as flourishing, rather than in decay. is the idea of ethereal grace what this stranger imagines now, when speaking of frozen time? ]

siffrin | in stars and time.
Not too bugged out, are you?
[ What if we were two people, tangled up in a spiders nest of webs with nothing but a nice pun to soothe the moment. Not at all in distress or stress over the insect situation.
But hey, one hand has a knife and there's slicing some part of the web away! Wow, imagine being so prepared! Dexterous! With a freed hand, they wiggle gloves at their companion with a curl of a cat-like smile. ]
Need a hand?
[ But the web jostles, their knife slipping from said gloved hand to get stickied right by their heeled boot.
(...)
(YOU IDIOT, YOU DROPPED YOUR KNIFE!!!) ]
02 | HOME SWEET HOME
[ Curiously inspecting the lovely sweet decoration, giving a poke of their gloved finger to the particularly designed gumdrops flooring. ]
..Going this far, I'd say the homeowner has more than just a sweet tooth.
[ (You think it applies a bit more than just a simple "fan" too. That is WAY too many. )
But hey, there's a nice bowl of candies set out, and there's two people here to enjoy it!! Why not? And to totally sweeten the deal. ]
Awww, for us? That mints a lot.
[ Another pun for the road. ]

Yeah, I'd say your chances are pretty high. [ but he's not going to stop her? he'll help her out. ] But go ahead. I think I can remember that. Haven't given it a try myself yet though.

And here are your two choices: a late night taxi or a cozy lounge. ]
Hey~, what do you make of all of this? The trees want to match with us, right?
[ If you are going to take a bite out of the house, he will grab your wrist so fast. Don't do that. If not, he may be drooling a bit while staring at the house. ]

there's probably the errant sound of a splish-splash, like someone who is just trying to lift themselves out of the water... do not worry about it. he will eventually find company who won't get lost in the sauce of his memory.
give me your late night taxi ]
