[we_meet_again]

[When you open your eyes, you find yourself in the dining room of what seems to be a suburban house. There are wood floors, and a rectangular, wooden table. The walls are covered in beautiful paintings, each meticulously framed and lit with gallery-like care. There's a bouquet of white bellflowers in a vase on the table.

It feels safe here, and comfortable. There's a soft sound like the tinkle of a spoon against the edge of a porcelain cup coming from the kitchen.

If you were in Cobalt's heart game, this place will look familiar to you. This time, however, it's not crowded, or decked out with party decorations, and the table isn't overflowing with holiday food. Today, it is just a room, the way it might appear on any normal day.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[...huh. Why's he back here?]

[A woman steps out of the kitchen, carrying a cup of tea --]

[we_meet_again]

[--and her face lights up with joy as soon as she sees him]

Hurricane!

What a delight to see you again! I didn't even hear you come in!

[She sets her cup down on the table and spreads her arms, clearly intending to welcome him with a hug.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hhhhesitates, because why is Cobalt's mother here]

[And then, yeah, okay, he is weak to hugs]

[Hugging is go,]

[quickpersuader]

[...Odd. They're looking around to see if they're truly alone here.]

[we_meet_again]

[They are. But only for a moment, until a woman walks in from the kitchen, holding a cup of tea.]

[we_meet_again]

[As soon as she sets eyes on them, her face brightens up with delight]

Sky! —No, it's Kino now, isn't it!

Goodness, I didn't even hear you come in. What a wonderful surprise to see you again!

[quickpersuader]

[Oh. Fortunately, it's hard to forget the face of a woman who would throw things at monsters in a show of support while you're in the middle of a bossfight.]

...You were updated on that too? Then again, considering where this is, that would make sense...

[~*hearts*~, apparently.]

Is Cobalt alright?

[Please don't say there's another boss fight waiting for them...]

[unbr8kable]

[...She knows this place, and it not being filled with people and decorations is kind of a bonus. She looks around for any signs of life]

...Cobalt?

[we_meet_again]

[There's a sudden surprised clink of a spoon in the kitchen and a woman's face appears in the doorway]



Nemesis?

[we_meet_again]

[Her face lights up with joy]

Nemesis! It is you!

Welcome back, my dear! Oh, it's so good to see you again!

[forgottenmercy]

[was not in Cobalt's heart game, so this does not look familiar to him at all.]

[we_meet_again]

[A woman steps out of the kitchen, holding a cup of tea. She has long, black hair and is dressed in upper-middle class, modern clothing. She blinks in surprise to see him, and then —]



[—Her face lights up with delight. She sets her cup down on the table.]

Persephone! Goodness! What a wonderful surprise!

Welcome! It's so good to see you!

[inspiteful]

[ He was not in Cobalt's heart game at all, so he's standing here confused like, when did he get here??? ]

[—Her face lights up with delight. She sets her cup down on the table.]

Oh my goodness, is that Eclipse?

What a wonderful surprise to get to meet you in person! Cobalt has told me so much about you! Welcome!

[She spreads her arms like she'd really like to give him a hug!]

[ you wake up in a lush jungle, something that doesn’t seem quite right for tokyo-f. beside you is an overturned jeep, the front of it smashed beyond recognition - it’s lights are flashing frantically as steam billows out of the absolutely decimated engine. there’s a subtle rumble shaking the ground, birds crowing in the distance and flying high into the sky to escape… something. there’s something nosing you from behind; 586 – a hors demon. ]

What are *you* doing here?

[featherbeaned]

[ that is an excellent question ]

[ but first! ]



[ THROWS HER ARMS AROUND THE HORS AND SQUISHES ]

[586]

[ -! ]

Unisonya! [ he's got to force himself onto his hind legs, so he can drape a claw around her and tug her against his broad chest. ]

[overworker]

[Serenity is taken by the scenery. It is a change but that change is... kind of nice. Although the state of that jeep is worrying.

But the nose nudges and she turns, blinks, and--]

Pentium?!

[586]

Serenity-?! [ she is not someone he had expected to see, but nevermind that because he's super excited to see her! ] Is that really you?!

[inspiteful]

[ For some reason, you're at a beach? It's a beach on a lovely day, too. The sun is shining bright, and there's a cool sea breeze. Just a little distance away from where you are, Skylark and a possibly-familiar face are at a stall, buying some shaved ice. They're dressed for the beach, though it's worth noting that Crane is dressed quite modestly (because sunburns are terrible). They seem to be chatting... ]

So people just...eat ice?

Apparently? I mean, if it was just ice it'd taste pretty boring, but that's why there are all these sauces and toppings.

Just seems kind of weird.

Don't you wish we could shove something cold into ourselves whenever it gets too damn hot back home?

[ She snorts. ] You're one to talk when you live near the docks.

Ah, by the way, did you ask him what flavour he wants?

... ... ... Fuck.

get your Bob Ross on

[tradesecret]

[ there are brushes and cans of paint on the ground but oddly enough, no paper or canvas, but Yvette seems perfectly fine with that. ]

What do you want to make today?

[syckophant]

Paint is it, Miss Yvette? Well, I've always fancied myself an artist, though perhaps not in this way.

... How about a castle in the sky?

[tradesecret]

[ the empty space now has a backdrop of a clear blue sky, with a base outline of a castle floating in it ]

How would you like it to look?
