week 2, monday

[retellers]

[ soo-won will receive a message: go to the castle.

this time, if he does so, he will be able to reach it. inside is a lobby area, as you'd expect from a castle, but he will not be able to open any of the doors here. in the middle is a staircase, and if he goes up to the next floor, there are more hallways and doors.

only one door will open for him, however. inside is a dimly lit room, with the only light coming in through a window. the room is completely empty, except for a nondescript stone coffin in the center.

goat is sitting on it. yo. ]

[recrowns]

[HE

MAKES IT INTO THE WHOLEASS CASTLE?

AND THERE'S A COFFIN? WHAT? can gulfan come?]

... so you can only teleport yourself but not other people?

[HE DOESN'T MIND SINCE HE GOT TO LEARN STUFF but wow]

[retellers]

[






a pause. also sure, gulfan can come. ]

Ah.

[ it is the sort of "ah" that suggests they could've brought soo-won themselves maybe but it just did not occur to them. ]

[recrowns]

[gulfan is here just because soo-won wants his cute lil bird to get a chance to see new places

but!]

... that's alright, I'm glad I got to walk. I didn't think that we were allowed to come in here.

[a beat]

Why the coffin?

[retellers]

Sometimes I pretend to sleep in it...

[ why ]

[recrowns]

[ . . . ]

Why?

[retellers]

Well, everyone else sleeps, so...

[ it feels like? they should mimic them? ]

[recrowns]

... and you chose a coffin as opposed to a bed?

[retellers]

It felt familiar...?

pats my sweet jan

[recrowns]

[anyway.

he hates that!]

.... if I may ask again - why?

:pensive:

[retellers]

[ they shake their head. ]

I don't remember this coffin. [ ... ] Though I think I may have died, at least once.

PATS MY SWEET JAN MORE

[recrowns]

[ . . . ]

At least -

[thanks now they're matchies]

... is that what you remebered?

:pensive: but harder

[retellers]

... There is much I remember now, and yet so much I don't. What I recall only begs more questions.

[ they pause. ]

Before that, though--you wished to see my face?

[recrowns]

[ . . . oh shit - ]

You're changing the subject, but...

Yes, I do.

[he will ALLOW IT this ONCE]

[1/2]

[retellers]

[ they're doing this first because i want to have icons for this

they reach up and pull down their hood, before they remove their mask and place it down on the coffin. ]

[retellers]

[ ... revealing an androgynous-looking young man, who appears to be around soo-won's age. he says nothing, waiting for soo-won's reaction. ]

[recrowns]

[





well he's just going to offer up a smile, apparently pleased with this development]

It's nice to meet you face to face, my friend.

[retellers]

[ he smiles lightly in return. ] The mask does not bother me... but it is nice.

[recrowns]

[he's POUTING]

It bothered me! I wanted to see you.

Now you have to look me in the eyes when you lie to me.

[BE NICE]

[retellers]

[ ... they take their mask and place it on the floor, before they remove the coffin lid as if they plan to crawl into the coffin. :T ]

[recrowns]

[SLKDJFLKJF

he's laughing now and then reaching to grab ahold of goat's wrist before they manage to make it all the way inside]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry - but you really do try to run away from me so much.

You're doing it again, too.

[retellers]

[ wow can you tell i'm not used to having to not use they all the time anyway, HE relents and places the lid back on the coffin. ] Because you're mean to me!

[recrowns]

[oh me too

but soo-won's just going to smile and then take that hand in between both of his own now]

You're dishonest with me, so I think both of us are going to have to stop if we want to get anywhere.

Do you want me to be nicer?

[retellers]

... I suppose I would not ask you to be anything but who you are. [ though he's still :T ]

[recrowns]

.... well, I'm afraid I'm going to keep asking after your honesty, but I'll try to be nicer about it. Fair?

[and he'll gently pull on goat's hand as if to bring them away from the COFFIN]

Show me around? I haven't gotten to come to the castle before.
