Solstice Heart

[dramatispersonae]

Entering into the heart, you feel a strong sense of resistance pushing you away. It’s easy enough to overcome if you push back, but it soon reverses and you’re pulled into an unfamiliar mansion.

[IRC: #truthless, heart starts at 4pm EST!]

edit: I'm a dumb and forgot to add in the LIBRARY segment: [On the left is another doorway to a staircase leading down.]

FOYER

[dramatispersonae]

[You tumble into the foyer of a mansion, or at least a large house. It’s not exceedingly grand but it’s clearly a home that implies some amount of wealth. However, it’s sparsely furnished and a tad dusty.]

[There are two doorways. Through the one on the right Amethyst colors can be seen, and in the room straight ahead you can see bookshelves. On the left is a staircase leading upstairs.]

Solstice?

[resistance. . . man, he knows how that feels]

[taking a moment to glance around his surroundings, before he proceeds forward, towards the bookshelves]

Re: FOYER

[fourthsaken]

[glancing around the foyer nervously, starting to edge toward the doorway with Amethyst colors]

Hello?

Re: FOYER

[mirroredvalue]

[Well then, where to go from here...

Maybe Amethyst room first?]

Re: FOYER

[dramatispersonae]

[There is a single door at the top of the staircase. Enter?]

Re: FOYER

[idkmybffnirvash]

[yes!]

LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

[This room could be called a study, but it’s more like a mini library. Or it would be, if not for the fact that many of the shelves have gaps or are completely empty, covered with the same thin layer of dust as the foyer.]

[One empty shelf stands out for the lack of dust on it; a file folder lays dropped on the floor in front of it. Another shelf looks more frequently used, and even has a label: AATHER. There is a desk in the center of the room, bare but clean of dust.]

Re: FOYER

[dramatispersonae]

[on you go]

LIVING ROOM

[dramatispersonae]

[This room looks something like a living room, but it more closely resembles the make of Amethyst’s cabin in Camelot mixed with the current treehouse. However, it’s nearly as bare as the rest of the house. There are various open boxes strewn about, one even laying on its side, as if someone was suddenly interrupted in the process of moving in. A table with twelve chairs crowded around it sits in the middle of the room, and a piece of paper sits on the table. There’s a fireplace and there are shelves along the walls, mostly empty aside from a few framed photos.]

[...There’s a few rockziles meandering about, too.]

Re: FOYER

[dramatispersonae]

[There's no response as you head to the next room.]

Re: FOYER

[dramatispersonae]

[Sure thing.]

Re: LIBRARY

[blackjacked]

[. . . snort]

Organized, aren't you?

[he crouches down to pick up the file folder on the ground first]

SHINICHI'S ROOM

[dramatispersonae]

[It’s a bedroom, a bit more furnished than the rest of the house but still pretty bare. There’s a bed, a desk with a few things on it, and a closet.]

Re: LIVING ROOM

[fourthsaken]

[crouching down to greet the rockziles]

Hey, guys. Have you seen Solstice?

Re: LIBRARY

[dramatispersonae]

[The folder is labeled APTX 4869.]

Re: SHINICHI'S ROOM

[idkmybffnirvash]

[anything standing out? checking on the desk while surveying the room]

Re: FOYER

[lettersbound]

... I had a feeling this might come sooner or later.

[he heads up ahead to the bookshelves]

Re: LIVING ROOM

[mirroredvalue]

[...Hm. Clearly this should take priority. Let's go through these boxes and see if there's some way to help the moving process.

...Maybe petting a rockzile if it passes by, too.]

Re: LIVING ROOM

[dramatispersonae]

[They glance up and make their way closer, maybe they're happy to see you? Doesn't really answer your question, though.]

Re: LIBRARY

[blackjacked]

[. . . oh]

[frowning deeply as he sits down at the empty desk and flips the folder open. let's see what's inside. . .]

Re: LIVING ROOM

[fourthsaken]

... Don't know what I was expecting.

[petting them and then moving on to look around the room]

Re: LIVING ROOM

[dramatispersonae]

[The boxes contain various items in mainly Amethyst colors and themes, curtains and wall hangings and table furnishings and such, basically anything you'd use to decorate a room.]

[The box lying on its side contains a number of framed photographs.]

Re: LIVING ROOM

[mirroredvalue]

[Well, then. Let's move these framed photographs to the shelves where they belong. After that, I'll get to work on getting this room decorated, but let's get the photographs onto the shelves, first.]
