Rolo's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

You fall through space breathlessly, airlessly, your heart skipping a beat. When you land, everything is black for a moment before you rise and see who is with you and where you are...

LEFT WING

[dramatispersonae]

LEFT WING - Room 1

[dramatispersonae]

This appears to be a display room of some kind. It is poorly-kept and dark and dusty in here. On every wall is clock after clock, all ticking out different times loudly. They are rather bizarre-looking.

As well as the clocks, there are three tables with displays on them. One has a bottle of what appears to be alcohol on it. Another has a folded knife. A third has a square electronic box on it.

There are two exits: The door you came in, and another door at the end of this long, hall-like room.

The temperature in here is warm, though not hot.

((OOC: The warm temperature increases your irritability, anxiety, uncertainty, and insecurity by about 10-30% (so in other words, your feelings are still 70-90% normal).))

Re: LEFT WING - Room 1

[dramatispersonae]

There is a sharp-smelling liquid inside.

Re: LEFT WING - Room 1

[sharksong]

[I wonder if I should taste it? —No, that's a terrible idea. What if it's poison? Gust likes poisons. Would Gust leave a poison sitting out? There's a knife over there . . . A knife and a strange drink and a . . .]

––Don't touch anything! We aren't supposed to, we'll change him!

LEFT WING - Room 2

[dramatispersonae]

You enter the other room and find yourself in a new room. This is as far as you can go here -- there is no other visible door to this room, only the one you just took.

This room is dusty and cluttered. Large clock gears fill large parts of it, leaving only narrow paths to proceed through it. The planks are uneven and uncomfortable to walk on, forcing your ankles to twist uncomfortably, and they are also loose, wobbling unsteadily under your feet.

At the other side of the room you can see a Rolo automaton sitting in a chair.

The automaton again has joints and clockwork and a mask. Its mask is tightened in features of tight displeasure. Its skin has apparently not been sanded, rough-looking. It is simply sitting there idle, watching you move around the room.

There is something metal hanging on the wall beside him.

The temperature remains warm, with no change from the previous room.

Re: LEFT WING - Room 2

The automaton immediately looks put out. "...Hello."

[Investigate: metal thing :|a]

Re: LEFT WING - Room 2

[dramatispersonae]

It is a clockwork-winding key, sized appropriately for use in the main room automaton's back!

Re: LEFT WING - Room 2

[featherfetch]

[:O!! KEY GET??]

I was asked to borrow this... I promise to bring it back after.

Re: LEFT WING - Room 2

[odetojoy]

[checking the metal thing first]

Re: LEFT WING - Room 2

[dramatispersonae]

[It is a AUTOMATON KEY!1 Syaoran is getting it atm if you want to join him.]

Re: LEFT WING - Room 2

[sharksong]

[I guess eventually I'm coming this way, scrubbing at teary eyes 8(]

Ah—hello?

Re: LEFT WING - Room 2

[dramatispersonae]

"...Breeze, hi." It shifts uncomfortably.
