It's totally disgusting! It's not their fault they're born that way.....!

[is there anything else of note around while she's getting offended]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[soulping]

[ That door, but otherwise nope. ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[forthemackerel]

But that's how people are...

[ should we go for that door, then? ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[feytality]

I'm not gonna stand for that!

[okay after she's finished huffing and puffing she's going there]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[soulping]

[ There's staff, women in maid uniforms and butlers, lingering in the corridor, whispering behind hands. They take no notice to you as you pass by.

Further down is another door, a deep red liquid leaking out from underneath.

It smells like wine. ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[shitstarter]

[ . . . . let's check out the door with the red liquid ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[feytality]

[gonna check that out, yeah..]

[also what are they whispering about]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[forthemackerel]

[ joining you pair in this little adventure... ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[soulping]

The owner of the house is a powerful man, with a wife and a child. He keeps a woman on the side, though, and has a bastard son from their dalliance that is troublesome.

The staff seems to believe the master wants to kill the boy, since he hired him such a defective BODYGUARD.

The staff care little for the boy, but even less for the BODYGUARD. There's speculation that he's a MONSTER, or one of those damned TAGGED. One of them says she saw him KILL a man outside not even a few days ago.

Beware of glass, as there's a shattered bottle nearby.

If she heads into the room proper, she'll find a young boy with a black eye sitting at a desk, papers strewn around him. They have the handwriting of someone who is very young, and very inexperienced in writing.

He doesn't look up immediately when she enters. ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[shitstarter]

[ . . . stares at him, unmindful of the glass ]

IT'S yoU.

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[soulping]

[ Shocked, and staring hard at those tags.

He almost looks scared. ]

You know me? Did my father - No, he wouldn't.

Why are you here?

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[shitstarter]

[ looks to eveningstar and cascade for a moment ]

[ a brief pause ]

[ and he takes another moment to think ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[soulping]

[ Instantly worried, and darting a quick glance behind them. ]

You mean Argus, right? He's... It doesn't matter, you've got to help him!

He left these for you to find!

[ gesturing towards the papers ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[feytality]

[looking at the papers, but also]

But what about you? You're hurt!

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[shitstarter]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[forthemackerel]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

Um... hey.

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[forthemackerel]

Are you going to go to his world and change things?

[ this isn't meant as demeaning, he's actually curious if she'd go that far ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[feytality]

If I gotta! Or get him out of there!

[calm down Maya]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[forthemackerel]

Inviting him back to your world, then?

[ no, never change, Maya ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[feytality]

I'll figure something out!

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[forthemackerel]

You do seem determined like that.

[ or stubborn... ]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus

[feytality]

That's right! No stupid jerks are gonna keep me down!

[pauses]

Re: Eveningstar, Theseus
