[ If you had paid visit before, you might notice that where you start seems fairly familiar. But since most of you haven't… the first thing you'll notice is red. Dark red all around you. The sky, the ground—everything is red. It's impossible to make out anything among the color. But if you attempt to stare at any particular space for too long, you'll discover it pulses, flows.

And then there is a laugh that you are probably very acquainted with by now, only this time it’s LOUDER, wracking inside your skull. ]

FOOLISH WORMS! THIS IS MY DOMAIN NOW. YOU SHALL ALL PERISH. TORN ASUNDER. NOTHING LEFT.

[ Well then. ]


((Join #eyesontheprize if you can for coordination and easy communication.

Also, I futzed up by not putting up a mingle header. If you show up late and want to talk to Alpha in addition to/instead of the second NPC, let me know. I doubt many people really want to talk to Alpha though... ))

[ 'Lyra,' 'Sunset' and 'Luna.' ]

[sliding the Corvus book in next to the others. Taking a moment to pick up the Sunset book, out of curiosity]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Which others? There is only one shelf option you can easily reach.

Also, flipping through Sunset's book, you get gentle gratitude and general friendship feels. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

[she's going to try to get it next to her book, Luna's and Lyra's. If she can't quite, she's gonna look around for Mithos to give her a boost]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Well, if Mithos is reaching her, she can do that. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

[putting Sunset book back with Luna and Lyra, and putting Corvus next to them] Thank you, Mithos. [still holding on to the question mark book for now, in discussion with Kira]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ All righty then. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[and wandering toward the kitchen, to check out those delicious smells]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Entering the kitchen, you spy a young woman dressed in noble’s clothes (though covered in some dark stains throughout) working on something on the stove, humming softly to herself. Her hair bears a resemblance to Ryner’s and she moves with a fluid grace. There are also plates with sandwiches and soup set on the table. And maybe even some ice cream. ]

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

[bowing to her] Hello. I hope I'm not intruding.

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ She turns smoothly and gives her a bright smile, while doing a genteel bow of her own. ]

"Oh no, not at all. I was actually waiting for you. For all of you."

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

I'm Sunset. I don't know if you know that already. We're all doing our best to help Night.

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ She gives a small nod ]

"I know. I was really hoping you'd come. Feruna's friends before tried hard, but he wasn't ready back then. It's different now. Mm, it has to be different."

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

Feruna... Night's name, back home?

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ She looks sad at that. ]

"Once... a long time ago."

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

The last time his friends tried, that was still in Aather, though, right?

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

"That's right. They came here. But we weren't ready then. It was harder to protect them. All I could do was try to keep them in this place. It's what's most precious to him."

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

Amethyst is? [clearly deeply touched by that]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Just nods ]

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

He's precious to us as well.

We can't stay here this time, though. We have to find keys and defeat Alpha.

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

"I know. That's why you're here. I can't offer you much... but I can offer some protection. Their curse is a dangerous adversary."

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

Their?

Any aid you can give us will be much appreciated.

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Gestures to the stew she's cooking ]

"It can afford you a tiny bit of shielding against his worst type of attacks."

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

I'd love to try some. It smells delicious!

Will it keep you safe as well? He can't attack you here, can he?

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ Her smile turns a bit sadder but still gentle. ]

"He can't do anything to me. Don't worry."
