SUN SIGN

[livestage]

You find yourselves in a surprisingly sterile room. It's entirely white, almost blindingly so. There are a few beanbag chairs to sit on, though perhaps not enough for your entire family. On one of the walls, there's a laminated poster of a wheel. At the center of the room is a table with a glass case on top. If you lift the case, you'll find a single red button. Behind a glass panel on the wall is a monitor that is currently off.

Curiously, it does not seem as though you can actually destroy anything in this room (save for a simple note by the button), regardless of how much you may try. The glass will never shatter. The poster cannot be torn into pieces. Furthermore, your blessings and powers are off and none of your personal belongings are actually on your person.

A simple note lays by the button on the table, a reminder of your directive: Will you push the button?

Immediately launches herself into him, arms around his waist, just. Shivering. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[heartlands]

Um - hello?

Re: DISCUSSION

[vitainmorte]

... Hi, I... I'm sorry, I'm not-- sure what's happening.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heartlands]

It's okay! You don't have to be sorry or anything... Are you alright?

Re: DISCUSSION

[vitainmorte]

I think I'm fine, just...

[ limply flutters her wings. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[heartlands]

We've got a bit, I think, so... You can take a second.

Re: DISCUSSION

[demonicdomestic]

Miss...?

[The space where a name should be trails off, none of the ones he knows applying anymore.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[vitainmorte]

Satin? What's-- are you okay?

[ clearly the thing to be asking here ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[demonicdomestic]

Aside from being waylaid in the depths of ship and accosted by far too many cats, I haven't been unwell. I have less need for regular meals than most.

Are you all right? You're soaked through.

Re: DISCUSSION

[vitainmorte]

...

I was in the-- ocean...

[ sounds somewhat unsure. Honestly. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[demonicdomestic]

[His attention focuses, and he reaches for her hands.]

You remember me. Do you remember yourself?

Re: DISCUSSION

[1797]

[why IS she wet]

Hi?

Re: DISCUSSION

[vitainmorte]

Hi? I'm sorry to interrupt...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[1797]

You're not interrupting much.

[looks around the extremely white space]

And they didn't give us any towels.

Re: DISCUSSION

[vitainmorte]

That's okay, I doubt you were expecting guests...

[ a beat. ]

Um-- is everyone here with Sun Sign...? Is this the stage?

Re: DISCUSSION

[1797]

Yep, we all just showed up. Are you... Why are you soggy, actually?

Re: DISCUSSION

[unlimitedtimeoff]

[... what.]

What?

Re: DISCUSSION

[vitainmorte]

[ ALARMED!!! but a bit less by now and mostly looking deeply embarrassed. ]

-- um. Hello, Cashmere...

Re: DISCUSSION

[unlimitedtimeoff]

Hi...

What happened with Eonia?

Re: DISCUSSION

[vitainmorte]

...

I got-- disowned, so to speak. I can-- I mean, I'll do what I can to be an unobtrusive as possible, during all... this.
