[dramatispersonae]

“That man to me seems equal to the gods,
the man who sits opposite you
and close by listens
to your sweet voice

and your enticing laughter—
that indeed has stirred up the heart in my breast.
For whenever I look at you even briefly
I can no longer say a single thing,

but my tongue is frozen in silence;
instantly a delicate flame runs beneath my skin;
with my eyes I see nothing;
my ears make a whirring noise.

A cold sweat covers me,
trembling seizes my body,
and I am greener than grass.
Lacking but little of death do I seem.”

[ are the words carved into the stone wall in front of you. Behind you the ocean breaks on a rocky shore. There's a cold mist hanging in the air -- somewhat unfriendly, but not too ominous.

Follow the wall south, follow it north, climb it . . . walk into the ocean. What a collection of choices. ]

[dormancy]

[running his fingers over the words]

How touching . . .

[and going north]

[dramatispersonae]

[ the small rocks beneath your feet are turning into white shells as you walk -- brittle and sharp. The air also gets colder. ]

[dormancy]

[treading carefully and keeping an eye out]

[dramatispersonae]

[ the shells become bones, but the temperature also rises. There's sounds of birds but everything also seems to get . . . whiter? Even the air around you has taken on a certain amount of opaqueness. ]

[dormancy]

[pressing forward, but looking to the side and up the wall, hmm]

[dramatispersonae]

[ gosh was that a screaming face on that wall!? ]

[dormancy]

[baby . . . not a familiar face, i hope]

[dramatispersonae]

[ gosh no just a generic screaming face jeez ]

[dormancy]

[you never know!! keeps walking but slowing his pace]

Is that a warning?

[dramatispersonae]

[ MOAR FACES and also some hands reaching through the wall for him ]

[dormancy]

[. . . i have learned not to follow my first instinct with this, sliding to the side to make sure he is out of reach]

You keep a lot of people in here, Three of Three.

[dramatispersonae]

[ the hands just reach and then sink back into the wall and reach again -- something's trapppeddd in the walll and it wants to eat your faaace ]

*traces the last line . . .*

Whoa.

[brotagonist]

...it's like a love poem...

[antreegonist]

Kind of a sad one.

Where are we?

[brotagonist]

I don't know. Is this a dream?

[antreegonist]

*pinches him :(*

[brotagonist]

Hey! Ow!

[antreegonist]

*pinches himself, too, for good measure*

. . . well . . .

[brotagonist]

Not a dream, maybe.

[antreegonist]

Guess not.

*looks at the ocean . . . then back at the wall*

Wanna see what's on the other side?

[brotagonist]

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[antreegonist]

All right.

*WE CLIMBIN'*

[ IT'S A TALL WALL but soon you start to encounter some tree roots (?) climbing down the wall. That's kind of weird, does this wall run into a tree?? ]
