UNHOLY DISORDER

[Something is wrong with the room you are in.

At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.

But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.

You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.

You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.

But so are you.]

[His blessings seem to work just fine, picking up the emotions or thoughts of those near him.

There's something else around him though. It feels... wrong.]

[ ??? That's weird. He doesn't (usually) pick up Flamingo and nor does he Buttercup. But Heron is loud today and Forte is Always Loud. So that's... a new one.

Is he capable of picking up a sense of Where it's coming from or is it just all aorund? ]

[Ah, the passive glance is nothing more and nothing less than what you already know.

"Do you have the curiosity to look?" is the question.]

[ "Yes," is really the unsaid silent answer as the question and answer gets solidified and gets up to start looking ??? Where could be talking that's not obvious gross room (sorry).

He's pulled to the books first. Who are they? Where? ]

[Something- no, MANY things scream. The twist and scream and howl and hurt and hurt and who are they where are they how did this happen?

There is screaming. There is nothing but screaming.

Who are you? Where are you? How did this happen?]

[ He was halfway to pulling out a book and he just drops it at that sound.

His hands move reflexively to his ears as if it can block out the shouts, but ofc it doesn't ??? It's all in his head and the torrent is there and he just - ]


Stop. Just stop. I can't help you from here.

[ It's an outloud plea of a desire to help and find, but he can't with mind swimming. And he wants to scream - who? where? ]

[Wow. He hates this a lot. Teeth gritting, he thinks for a moment over what they might be able to do.]

Hey. If I played music, or something, would that help drown anything out?

I just have to deal with it.
