yoon's palace

[strawsandals]

I thought I told you to leave me alone.

[Just like with previous palaces, Arven finds himself here without really thinking about it.]

It's happening again...

[As calm and serious as he tries to sound about it, he can't actually hide the trepidation in his voice. What happened with Soujuurou might have turned out okay in the end, but it's impossible to forget Jordi's fate.]

[metagame]

Is this what a Palace looks like?

[Not like Atem was around for the last two... So Arven has far more experience.]

[supherb]

[WELCOME ABOARD THE PAIN TRAIN, ATEM.]

They've all looked a little different, but the vibes are the same: super off.

[cirquedesang]

[Oh he is. So tired. But once again they're here, and once again he gravitates towards Arven.]

It never stops.

[supherb]

[Well, if Arven can name a silver lining, it's that at least Celeste is here too again.]

I really wish it would... Who do you think this one belongs to? It's...pretty, even it's giving me the chills at the same time.

[cirquedesang]

[Puts Arven in his pocket, his unruly teens--

...One of which is missing. Hm.]

It is... but not in the sort of way I would expect Argenti's mind to generate.

[supherb]

[Mafuyu gets a break today. Maybe she's chilling with Mabosstiff somewhere--]

Nah...I feel like his would be a lot gaudier.

[Arven.]

[cirquedesang]

[Thank you for your service, Mabosstiff.]

Absolutely, and with more roses.

[Celeste.]

[supherb]

And way more sparkles.

[cirquedesang]

Possibly sparkling roses.

[Nods.]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Hm, ]

Arven?

[supherb]

[He perks up.]

Sunrise! Looks like we're teaming up again, huh?

[cleansewithfire]

[ ...It feels almost strange to see someone perk up in reaction to her, now that she thinks about it. ]

It seems to be that way, yes.

[ ... ]

Are you okay, Arven?

[supherb]

...Nothing gets past you, huh?

[With a sigh,]

Just a little nervous, that's all. I really don't like these palaces.

[cleansewithfire]

I think a lot of things do, just not this one.

[ Sunrise, ]

...We will do our best.

[emptyself]

We keep getting roped into these a lot, huh?

[ soujuurou might feel nostalgia from this, but there's no doubt that he also feels a sense of unease from being here. ]

No choice but to hope for the best and do our best.

[supherb]

[Oh, Soujuurou! Arven's glad the he seems to have recovered enough for being pulled into another one of these palaces.]

Yeah. Let's hope we can put a stop to this one before it gets too out of control.
