Skylark's Ideal World | Session 1

Once, there was a maiden...
...who was driven from her land.
Great black stags chased her, and their eyes shone blue.
Monsters scrambled after her through the bush, though they found her not.
Stumbling on a log, she fell and thought to surrender, and end the torment of the hunt—

... ... ...

You're so, so tired.

Why carry on?

... Surely, it's okay to take a break—

[ How many place-settings on the table? ] [ Also, gonna poke the herbs. ]

Well, we're definitely not leaving you here all by yourself.

There's enough for four people to be seated for a meal. The herbs are a bunch of thyme, bayleaf and basil.

"What do you mean? Crane and Lancelot are here. My mom is too."
at_heart: (blank :: man it's been some night)

Your... mom's here.

[ —Yeah. Of course she 'is'. Making note of the specific herbs, just... in case. ]
inspiteful: (Even if you tell me "That's not true!")

"Yyyyeeess...?"

Why is this so weird to you, Lupine.
at_heart: (support :: no one said it'd be easy)

Lark. I saw the memory you got back the other day.

[ Turning to face him. ]

[ Studying his expression. ]

You know she's dead.

He's starting to look uncomfortable.

"...That's...but she's not."

[ Gives him a few seconds, but — time is not on their side here. ]

I know you were hoping she'd get better, but you knew she was sick. And you saw them put a white sheet over her body.

[ Beat. ]

She can't be here, Lark.

He turns to go back to the stove, not making eye contact with Lupine and not giving him an answer.

[ Watches, for just a heartbeat, but then he exits the kitchen. Gonna check on the — why is there a chess board in the living room? Do they have chess on Lark's world...?

(Just — give it a once-over, note the placement of pieces, which side seems to be winning, if there's anything weird about the seating.)

—and then he's gonna go for the staircase.

There's a lot more here to look at, a lot more that might be significant, might — help him get through to you. ]

It's very notably not Gateway, since Lupine would be able to recognise it. Whoever's playing black seems to be winning, but not overwhelmingly so.

You head UPSTAIRS.

[ Cool cool cool, metaphorical board games in people's hearts are cool. Up the stairs! ]
