Amnesplora: Liminal Space

[idolpro]

Wherever you are in the house, whatever you may have been doing right in that moment

You hear a chime, like a clock sounding the hour. Has it only been that long? No, it can't have been, it must've been longer ... right? Oh well. You're out of time, and now you're here.

Here is a liminal space. It's like a washed out version of the Entrance Hall, so big and fancy, with its high vaulted ceilings and polished oakwood floors, intricate detailing, and the ornate front door. Everything else is shrouded by fog. You can try to find the other doors, you can try to find the foyer, but ... they're not there? Walk more than a minute into the fog and you'll find yourself right back where you started.

Did we maybe run out of time?

[Still writing in the notebook.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

I... still do not even understand what we were supposed to be doing there, to begin with. But I suppose so? It seems... all of the other missing individuals are here though?

[gemuinemanagement]

It looks like it
Maybe they want us all in one place for whatever happens next

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . That sounds a little ominous actually.

[gemuinemanagement]

Sorry
Do you want a hug

[heavyliesthecrown]

W-What...? But- we are in public?

[ That sounds very openly affectionate. ]

I am okay... after nearly becoming a sea creature's lunch, surely whatever happens next cannot be so bad.

[gemuinemanagement]

Oh
Okay

[...right, it can't be that bad. He should be strong and brave and not want a hug.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

D... Did you need a hug?

Please do not worry. Whatever happens, I shall protect you, so- surely we will be alright.

[gemuinemanagement]

[...tiny nod. A hug would be nice.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He is. So awkward about this. He isn't used to physical affection, even though he actually craves it to some extent.

But he can absolutely understand wanting a hug after... well. All of that. And he will not make him feel embarrassed for wanting such. ]

Of course.

[ Leaning over and attempts to do a comfort. There there. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Hugging back! The comfort is very much appreciated and needed right now.

He even manages a tiny smile when he lets go. It's a little pained, but still.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

I would like to thank you for also scaling that wall when I fell into that underground lake. Truly, I did not expect everyone to descend to my rescue.

[gemuinemanagement]

I didn't expect the others to be able to climb straight down a wall
It seemed like they didn't know they could do that either

[heavyliesthecrown]

How did they do that, actually? They also summoned weapons. By... thought perhaps? Maybe we ought to try?

[ There are walls here even if the place is fog-covered. ]

Or perhaps we might test out the walls for ourselves?

[gemuinemanagement]

[Thinks really hard about having a sword.





holy shit he has a sword]

[heavyliesthecrown]

WAH- How...??

[gemuinemanagement]

I just focused really hard on having a sword??
Maybe you should try????

[heavyliesthecrown]

Right... then how about-

[ Moving over to one of the walls, he places a foot on it and--]

Ah??

[ -- He starts clear walking up it as though it isn't difficult at all. ]

I-I'm doing the thing!

[gemuinemanagement]

[Oh, well if he can walk up walls, and Hiroto and the nice woman can walk up walls, then surely when he puts his foot on the wall as well he will -

-immediately fall on his butt.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . .

You cannot do it?

[gemuinemanagement]

[Shakes his head. Nope, no walking up walls for him.]
