LOBBYQUEST - PARTY 3

[idolpro]

Once you enter the door, you find yourself passing through, uh -



This front yard? It seems you've found yourself in some sort of dolphin mansion.

[Whoa whoa what the HELL.

He'll open up one of her still healing scars, just enough for a pinprick of blood - and a lifeline tug to his side.]

Kaguya, what are you doing? That's your daughter!

[bloodyrose]

[Immediately standing between her and Ren.]

This isn't you.

[sunflowering]

[ He yanks her back mid swing so that she goes flying to his side. She's confused for a moment, and then furious... and snickering at the same time? ]

What... what are you doing!? She's the one who... ahaha... the one who killed her! Don't you remember the sins game!?

[ Moving to rise back up to her feet. She can't afford to stay down with that woman around...! ]

[romanticlove]

[She might be trying to hide, staying behind Zero and let him and Izanagi handle her mother. She doesn't know what to do.]

I don't- I don't know what happened to her...

[bondsofsuffering]

[There's a bit of an amused snort, but:]

It's definitely Ren. I think that drink might've messed up your vision.

The sins game... You think that person you tried to attack is God?

[bloodyrose]

She's completely delusional. We need to try and disarm her.

[sunflowering]

I-

[ That might not be necessary. Her weapon somewhat lowers. Both Izzy and Zero have already stepped in her way. There's obvious confusion... ]

You're saying she's not? That it's...

[ But how... ]

Ren...?

[bloodyrose]

[He's still putting effort into staying focused from his thoughts.

Placating, though tentative.]

That's right. It's only Ren. There's no need to attack her.

[romanticlove]

[Still a little nervous, half hiding behind her father.]

Are you alright now?

[She looks between Izanagi and Zero, hoping one of them can confirm it's safe, otherwise she's staying behind her father.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Putting a hand firmly on her shoulder, trying to ground her.]

It's Ren. I don't think anyone else sees God around here.

[sunflowering]

[ There is something especially painful about seeing your daughter cower behind someone from you. Even if she doesn't look at all like her daughter right now. ]

I...

[ Horrified, lifting a hand up to her mouth and dropping her weapon entirely. ]

I'm sorry. All I saw was... even now- [ She looks like God ]

[romanticlove]

[Peering at her from around Zero, she shakes her head.]

It wasn't your fault.

[She's still hurt emotionally and a little bruised physically, but she still risks moving from behind her father to be closer to her mother.]

[bloodyrose]

[Of course he remains protective, anyway, settling a hand upon Ren's shoulder.]

I'm still here.

[They'll stop her if it comes to that again. Hopefully it won't.]

[bondsofsuffering]

We should be careful of traps and other mental effects while we explore this place. So keep checking in if something seems to change suddenly, okay?

[But he'll let go of Kaguya's shoulder.]

[sunflowering]

[ . . . Feeling worse as Zero remains wary and protective. ]

Mm...! We'll have to be careful.

[ A forced smile at Ren. ]

I'm really sorry, okay? Truly...

[ But she's going to spin around on her heel so that neither Zero nor Ren can see her expression and grab onto Izanagi's arm to tug him over to the stranger who approached them. ]

Come on! Let's see what he has to say!
