hit me up on slack (utaoutauhito, display is 森 歌) or plurk (sacae) if you have any questions! probably people won't get very injured if at all but there is some chance of getting mauled to a small or possibly significant degree. careful guys

[ a large and heavy set of ornate double doors, made of fine, dark wood. the handles and inlays appear to be made of gold, and they carry a sense of solemn importance. ]

[ you’re in a courtroom. even if that should be unfamiliar to you, somehow you know - you’re in a courtroom, and you’re right at the stand.

the stand itself is shaped as if it was carved from a cylinder, with the standing platform a step up from the marble floors and the partly encircling wall standing to about chest or waist height. it’s starkly isolated in the center of the room, but a good two or three yards off to either side, it’s flanked by elevated seats, a few rows of them each. for jury, or for audience. either way, they’re empty right now.

directly in front of you is a rise in the room like a balcony - and Uriel upon it, with one hand settled on the railing and his gaze fixed steadily on you.

he opens his mouth, and with a real voice, he speaks - ]

Confess your sins.

[ this is literally the worst thing, he freezes up and doesn't answer for a moment ]

. . . Uriel?

[ Saber pauses at that, taking a full moment to stare in surprise at Uriel actually talking. He was used to the telepathy, even used to the fake voice he'd made for himself back home, but this was....

Different.

But then the casual expression of a ne'er-do-well crosses his face, and he grins. ]

Am I to be charged for them, then?

Re: 1.

[ofobedience]

[LATER HE will also check out this door. After he works up the courage for it because that sense of solemn importance is kind of intimidating. He'll push it open though, eventually. peer inside.]

[well that's not intimidating at all.

It's Uriel, and so Giovanni should feel comfortable in his presence, only everything about this situation thrums with tension and already he has a Very Bad Feeling about having stepped through this door. He looks at the ground for a moment. Bites his lip.]

I'd rather not.

[bevoted]

[alright let's take the important looking doors first why not]

[you don't know me


for a moment Dantalion is taken aback in something akin to awe. well, considering the scale of the place, and the sheer intimidating stature of those pillars towering above him as he stands alone and exposed, effectively the center of attention, it would be difficult not to be.

that being said he finds himself completely unsurprised that Uriel is the one standing above him. it's actually a little bit funny. no matter what world it seems, the role of Uriel is always the same.]

What for? [bites back smoothly, falling comfortably into his own role. playing the rebellious and unapologetic sinner is kind of fun, in a way. especially when faced with a prude angel like Uriel.]

My "sentence" was already decided a long time ago. You're late.

[This is familiar in a way that really bothers him since he knows it's not really his memory being triggered.

But at Uriel speaking with a normal voice, he openly gawks.]

Your voice...

[ a tall wooden door that was well-made, once, but now is visibly aged and weathered. there is ivy sprawled all the way up and across it - opening it might be a little challenging. ]

[I'M INTIMIDATED BY THE OTHER DOOR]

[trying to pry open this one]

Re: 2.

[decomposed]

[ as you probably should be.

eventually the ivy gives way, and you find yourself in - well, it’s a garden of a sort. you can see the walls hedging it in, distantly, and if you look up, the ceiling stretches high above you. light like sunlight shimmers warm and bright from what might be chandeliers dotted all the way across.

but the plants themselves - rather than being planted in orderly plots or rows, they look more like they grew in naturally, and to an almost unreal extent.

most of the room is overtaken by a forest. it’s hard to discern anything through the thick of the trees - but starting where you are, extending off to your right, is mostly blooming brush and hedges, a field or two of wildflowers. a path cuts through off that way, visibly. it’s a bit of a walk but from here but it looks like it carves its way around the woods to go behind it, cutting close to a wall where the brush-like area tapers and gives way to more trees.

the whole place looks deliriously overgrown, aside from the path kept neatly clear, but everything is green and healthy, nothing looks like it’s suffocating. despite this, there don’t seem to be any animals or even insects, and there’s a bad feeling coming from the forest. it’s faint enough (at least from here) that it’s hard to discern the way it’s bad, however. it’s just unpleasant. the other way feels fine.

which way? ]

((scoring criteria is finding and engaging with the npcs, esp multiple of them. you’re allowed to try to get through this room more than once but if you do only the first attempt will count for scoring.))

So much...

[the unpleasant feeling to one side, it's the blooms and wildflowers that win him over-- he's definitely headed that way]

[voreaciously]

[Let's try opening this door. She'll try until it gives way.]
