Re: THE COURTYARD

[Slips on a pair of sunglasses to deal with the brightness.]

[Then she picks up one of the pitchers and looks to see what's inside it.]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[idolpro]

[ Just like the fruit, the pitchers' metals are golden, too bright to be real, but inside you can smell fresh milk. The sweet scent of honey wafts from another pitcher, and from another, fresh wine. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

Honestly, I was hoping for juice, but this will do.

[She grabs a cup. Or goblet. Or whatever they got up here and pours herself a glass of milk and drinks it.]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[idolpro]

[ You drink, despite the fact that you don't know how long it's been here or where it came from.

It tastes delicious, sweet and comforting—just one sip blows away your weariness like it was never there, like you could never know such hardships. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

[Look, sometimes you gotta just take a leap of faith.

Get it? Heaven? Faith - whatever.]

Oi!

The drinks won't make you explode. Help yourselves!

Re: THE COURTYARD

[crossmyheartandhope]

What's it taste like?

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

This one is milk. I think that one over there is wine.

Re: THE COURTYARD

[crossmyheartandhope]

...huh. And they're okay?

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

It seems so! I believe Leviathan found similarly with the fruit.

[She offers him a glass.]

It might help settle your nerves a bit, after... [That mess with the gate.]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[crossmyheartandhope]

...thanks, dude.

[He takes it, and drinks some]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

[It totally wiped out any weariness she was feeling, so.]

How do you like it?

Re: THE COURTYARD

[crossmyheartandhope]

...oh, wow.

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

Good, right?

Now we just need to get the recipe from them somehow.

Or the cow, I suppose.

Re: THE COURTYARD

[crossmyheartandhope]

You think it's around here...?

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

Only way to know is to look, I suppose. [She gestures to the hallway.] Shall we?

Re: THE COURTYARD

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... let's check it out.

[He rolled a 1 to rpoceed]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

[She also rolled a 1!!!]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[idolpro]

[ You walk down the hallway; it stretches endlessly, it seems, but after some time you arrive at a fountain. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[vitainmorte]

[ WH

GRABBING HER WRIST, she's already drank though, ]

Don't!

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

Hm? [She pulls the glass down after she's already had a gulp.]

I'm sorry, would you like some? [She offers the pitcher.]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[vitainmorte]

No-- first of all, don't eat food you find in weird places!

[ takes the pitcher, but only to put it aside. ]

Second, this-- all of this-- clearly isn't for us!

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

It's Heaven. I'm sure they have plenty to go around.

Re: THE COURTYARD

[vitainmorte]

Especially because it might be Heaven we should not be drinking what isn't ours!

Re: THE COURTYARD

[polarislight]

...

I don't follow.
