(open) you're looking at me like you don't know who i am
Who: Ange, Ruby, Break, and anyone who knows any of them.
What: Corruption turned Ange into a true Umineko witch who decided the best way to keep the people she loves safe from this town is to drag them into a pocket dimension.
When: For a while in March.
Where: Ange and Ruby's house-turned-small-pocket-dimension.
Content Warnings: Potential violence if anyone acts particularly antagonistic. Potential talk of violence or gore. Other warnings will be added when things pop up.
Perhaps you have seen Ruby's odd network post and decided to check things out. Or maybe you're just wandering around Trench and notice that Ange and Ruby's house suddenly looks.. different.
The house has been completely overgrown by way oversized roses, big thorns growing out of all the stems, completely obscuring the structure that's supposed to be underneath it. If you get close enough to the cluster of roses, you may feel your connection to any of the three people inside suddenly pull you in. (Please note: only people who know either Ange, Ruby or Break will be able to enter the pocket dimension because of this!)
If you give in to the sensation, everything around you might go black, and when the light returns, you seem to find yourself in.. a hedge maze. A rather odd one, though. As you stumble through it, you may suddenly find yourself in random rooms, and then back out of them into the hedge maze once more. The Moss King's wild plants seem to have even invaded corners of this place, so you might want to watch out you avoid having those snap at you. Retracing your steps through the labyrinth feels impossible, like the way is changing up behind you with every step. Some rooms make perfect sense - like a neat and elaborate kitchen, or a library - and others seem to consist of nonsense with stairs leading upside down or to nowhere, or gravity not working in a specific room at all.
Flying throughout the entire maze are golden butterflies. They seem to fly with direction, and if you follow them, you might find them leading you to one of the people you were looking for..

He finally spots the gazebo and the girl inside it, and he's on his way over when one of the Moss King's plants has a tendril slither out in front of him and he absolutely eats shit like three feet from the table. Womp womp. Said plant, at least, gets up close and personal with the business end of Harbinger's scythe, as Qrow tries to salvage any part of his dignity here with a grin trying for cheeky.]
A little birdie told me you guys were having a bit of pest problem.
[There is a leaf in his hair.]
no subject
Uncle Qrow!
[ .. Instantly onto the 'uncle' too, huh. Usually Ange doesn't bother with it out of a mass that consists half of trauma and issues surrounding the concept of family and half of just straight up embarrassment, but right now she doesn't seem to hold back at all.
She even stands up from her seat, taking the few steps over to cover the distance between them, and reaching out to playfully pluck that stray leaf out of his hair. ]
I was already wondering when you'd come. You are so late!
[ It's not really scolding when Ange is still smiling as she's saying it, right.. ]
no subject
Despite the dress and her eyes, she still seems mostly like herself. Like if he were to show her that package of broken butt-shaped cookies he'd brought for Ruby, she'd still fuss and huff over it, and he could ruffle her hair affectionately as he teased her. Because of that, he can at least keep up his usual grin, even if it's a little strained from the #anxiety.]
I was a bit out of the loop on the new digs. But hey, I gotta be at least a little fashionable to measure up to all this, right?
[Even if it's only fashionably late. Hell, that magic dress looks fancier than the one she got married in!!!]
no subject
[ Not that Ange seems genuinely upset. There's nothing of her usual huffy attitude right here and now - she's not even pretending to jokingly put it on for the sake of the bit.
In fact, she doesn't seem to linger on what she just said much at all. She figures that either Qrow already ran into Break or will soon - and so she has something much more important to ask him. ]
So, what do you think of this place? [ She gestures with one hand at the world around him, before aiming a look at Qrow that's rather expectant, even with the way her eyes convey so little emotion. ]
sorry for delay it was a busy grad school week rip
[The super chill badass coolguy image that everyone definitely has of him, of course.
The question, however, has his expression thin a little, because it's harder to play it cool about something that's kind of unsettling and concerning but possibly just Trench nonsense that'll blow over when you're being asked for an honest opinion.]
...It's uh, pretty impressive, kiddo. Making all this by yourself.
[A beat of silence passes. Lingers.]
But uh. Are you sure everything's...okay?
no subject
It's just that the concern is also a little baffling to her in her current state. ]
Okay? [ The girl cocks her head slightly to the side, like she has to contemplate this question. ] Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be okay?
[ There's a tiny pause where Ange is probably trying to figure out where his concern could come from. It's Qrow, so.. ]
Are you worried about Ruby? She's fine, I think she is just trying to take care of some of those plants that snuck in here. [ You know, the very same that just made you fall flat on your face in the most uncool way, Qrow. ]
no subject
Despite her current state, Ange more or less has him pegged on the concern about Ruby, and he rubs at his neck awkwardly as he looks out at the maze that sprawls out before them.]
...It's not the plants I'm worried about.
[That's how you know it's Serious Business, of course. Qrow hates admitting to experiencing An Emotion unless he absolutely has no choice.]
I mean, you haven't noticed anything a little ... different? In how she reacts to things, or ... what she gets excited about?
[Or doesn't get excited about, as the case might happen to be.]
no subject
.. less to her credit, there's no way Ange is going to realise anything is off whatsoever as long as she's in this state. All she cares about is that Ruby is happy, after all, and Ruby sure seems happy to her. ]
Not really?
[ The answer sounds so genuine exactly because of that. Ange can't realise anything is wrong, so of course she doesn't think anything is wrong with Ruby. ]
Maybe you just caught her during a busy moment. [ Clearly. What else could possibly be wrong here? Ange shakes her head, already continuing with: ] Have you already seen Break too? Those two are so busy settling in here.
