Ruby + Sapphire

[dramatispersonae]

Through the doors, you find yourselves in a small circular room that seems to be decorated much in the same way as the ring is decorated today. The curtains are in alternating colors of your teams, and in the center stand are three surprisingly lifelike, but faceless sculptures. They stand with their backs to one another, facing out to the chairs. About each of their necks is a cord that holds a sign written in a fine, looping cursive.

[wildnight]

You know them.

[quiet for a moment, rearranging her thoughts, then sighs]

The Book.

[forcryingoutloud]

... B-both of them?

[wildnight]

At the same time, when Ash and Fuuma appeared.

Who else did you know?

[forcryingoutloud]

Oz... a-and Luke?

[wildnight]

...Oz is here still.

[forcryingoutloud]

Ah...

[a pause, wiping eyes absently on the back of his arm again]

I -- I must have been... away for a while.

[wildnight]

When did you leave?

[forcryingoutloud]

I -- I can't remember when, exactly...

[wildnight]

Do you remember where?

[forcryingoutloud]

... N-not here. In a forest.

[wildnight]

Quite long then, for here.
