BUREAU: THE ANCHORS DEEP

Re: BUREAU: THE ANCHORS DEEP

[weenwoon]

As you descend the steps, darkness gathers. The warm glow of the lamps of the Bureau grows dimmer and the elegant marble and metal give way to old stone, like the walls of a hall in a long-abandoned castle - and, appropriately, here and there torches flicker on the walls. The atmosphere is quite oppressive.

Eventually the steps lead you to a room... that is actually quite a grand ballroom, but also in some state of disrepair. The high ceiling is almost entirely destroyed, shafts of moonlight streaming down into the room - there is a regular moon in the sky, not the black hole outside the Bureau.

There is someone standing in the middle of the room, looking up - but she turns around calmly to face you as you enter.

"Hey."

Long silver hair to ZRAEL clothes, this is a Glory!

[failedsafe]

"Hey, Glo. How are you keeping?"

She may be a construct of the heart but that's no reason to be RUDE!

[weenwoon]

can lily even be rude to any part of vivi's heart! except the ones that are mean to him!



"... Oh. Hey, Lily." She smiles at seeing Lily, looking almost... relieved? "I suppose I'm doing as fine as it's possible down here."

Her eyes linger on the scythe briefly.

"I see you've come prepared, too. That's good."

[failedsafe]

"Yeah, I'm hearing it's rough down here. You seem relieved, though."

[weenwoon]

"It's nice to have backup. I'm limited in what I can do, after all... I'm only as strong as Levity is."

[failedsafe]

"That's fair. I'm going to do my best."

[weenwoon]

"Mm. Thanks for your help. I can hold them back, but that's about it."

She looks towards the other end of the room, opposite to the staircase you descended. Somehow, it looks rather further away than it really should be, and if you stare at it too long, your eyes start to water.

"It's... over there. I can't say what exactly you'll encounter, since it... changes. Sometimes some fears are stronger. At times, they almost fade, and others show up instead."

"I can't come with you, since I'm bound to this place. But if something happens, you can fall back to here. We could come up with a plan."

[failedsafe]

Lily has a staring contest with the room, fuck you room, she's coming for you!!!! She wipes the inevitable tears, stares a bit more, and then looks back to Glory.

"Got it. I guess I'm off, then."

[weenwoon]

She shuffles a little awkwardly, how do deal with emotions...

"... Yeah. But it will be okay. You're strong."

Nailed it. But she steps aside, letting Lily make her way to the No Good Very Bad Room.

As you walk, the walls fade away until there’s nothing but darkness around you… and then the grass of a field. The tall stalks ripple around you, and as you walk the wind picks up, sharp, rapid gusts whipping the grass, your clothes, your hair. As though a storm is gathering…

A figure appears in the distance, walking towards you at a leisurely pace, holding onto their hat to stop the wind snatching it off. As they come closer, you realize that their clothes are stained with dried blood - as well as something black.

“Well, well. What have we here?”

The tone is quite mocking. Who could this possibly BE???

someone has played too much ffxv

[failedsafe]

"Hey, Sin."

shhhhshsh

[weenwoon]

"Well, well, miss Lily. And what might you be doing here?"

[failedsafe]

"Here to help Vivi. In whatever he needs."

[weenwoon]

"Ah! Help him learn some manners, perhaps?"

Well, despite the seeming jauntiness of it his voice is rather openly mocking.

[failedsafe]

She's noticed.

"And what, pray tell, is your issue?"

[weenwoon]

"His invasion of my privacy! Can a man not have his secrets?"

[failedsafe]

"You have plenty of them, I do not see the issue."

[weenwoon]

"They are meant to stay secret. Would you take kindly to it if someone came traipsing around your mind, rifling through everything?"

[failedsafe]

"I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally do not think I am the person you want to ask about that."

Since. Y'know.

"So. Why are you here?"

[weenwoon]

"Oh, whiling away my time as best I am able, locked away, alone, in the dark... Is it not a familiar feeling?"

[failedsafe]

LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT.

"Let's not talk about me. Why are you covered in blood?"

[weenwoon]

"Oh, do not worry about it. Accidents happen, mm?"

[failedsafe]

"Consider me worried about it. What happened?"

[weenwoon]

"And here I thought you would be gracious enough to honor my request! But do allow me to say, I am very grateful to have some company at last. This place gets quite lonely!"

Stepping closer! :) Arms half open as though intending a hug! :) We are very nice and friendly here in the nightmare field.

[failedsafe]

"Yeah, no."

Does she mean to the hug or to his request?
