[Maya's Heart]

[soulping]

[Everything goes white, almost blindingly, as you enter Eveningstar's heart.... it's so overwhelming that you forget, for a moment, what you're doing, why you're here, and details about yourself start to slip---]

[but then it all stops, abruptly, and your senses return to you]

...How am I supposed to know? You're the ones that came here.

[tothedepths]

And you are the one who works here, so think harder.

[gandere]

Eveningstar, can you open this door for us?

[ Ignoring the two idiots and asking the only semi-intelligent person she can find in her general vicinity. ]

[soulping]

[she's still unconscious, but she looks really pained - like she's having a nightmare]

[It doesn't help that he's holding her very tightly.]

[attorneyatlawl]

I don't work here. I came to protect her.

[And he did such a great job of it, she's half-dead]

Just get me inside.

[gandere]

... I want you to put Eveningstar down.

Now.

[attorneyatlawl]

She's fine here. We need to focus on breaking that lock, don't we?

[gandere]

You've been keeping a good hold on her since she was first released. I don't know if I necessarily trust you to protect her anymore.

[attorneyatlawl]

[He doesn't look interested in giving her up anytime soon, glaring your way]

You're wasting time. Work on the lock.

[gandere]

[ Holds up her hand as it lights on fire. ]

I'll break the lock when I'm sure my friend is safe in my care.

[attorneyatlawl]

She's safe here. Now back off.

[deadrising]

I agree. Put her down. Immediately.

[attorneyatlawl]

She's fine here. We've got a lock to break.

[deadrising]

Objection!

[ where did THAT come from ]

She doesn't want us to let the infection inside. It stands to reason that at least one of us is suspect. Look at how the black pieces stay back from the door.

[attorneyatlawl]

[WHERE DID THAT COME FROM]

[He doesn't look impressed]

It's in there. I know it is. Now break it.

[bloodbiter]

...The lock said not to let it inside.

What was it talking about? [staring at you oh god please don't be a horrible monster]

[attorneyatlawl]

...The infection, obviously?

[bloodbiter]

Then shouldn't we be more careful before breaking that lock? How are we going to stop it from entering once the door is open?

[attorneyatlawl]

It's already there. We have to find the source and cut it off.

[bloodbiter]

If it's already there, why would she be telling me not to let it inside?

[tothedepths]

You are a lot more demanding than you were just a little while ago, especially given how you have already failed at that job once.

If you cannot open the door, then your services are no longer needed here.

[attorneyatlawl]

I didn't know you were going to open every door in a dangerous room!

Fine, then break the lock now.

[tothedepths]

[ oh he'll break more than just the lock ]

Hand Star over first.

[attorneyatlawl]

I don't think so. Do what you came here to do.

[tothedepths]

Very well. Negotiations have broken down.

[ Moving to kick his legs out from under him, then. Dickface. ]
