(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..

['The real gold is tucked away safely' huh? Willow can't help but wonder if it's a reference to Ange. She has to be around here somewhere after all, and if this is the state Ruby's in, it's hard not to worry about Ange as well.
Still, it seems important to tread carefully under the circumstances.]
Why don't you tell me more about that spell Ange did to help you when you weren't feeling well? It sounds like everything started to change around then?
no subject
But she does tap her fingers against her cheek as she considers how to answer the next question.]
Well- We did create this world together after she cast the spell. I believe by the rules of her own powers it takes two people to do that.
But My aura was drained and fragmented.
She used her powers to fill in the cracks and replace what was gone. She used her magic to grant me some of her power and act as her furniture.
She had seven pieces before and now I'm the eighth.
no subject
Does anything strike you as a little... I don't know, unusual about any of this? I mean. Unusual by Trench standards, even.
[There's something else that strikes as very concerning.]
And if you're the eighth, who are the other seven? Are they here too?
no subject
She does however look confused at the question.]
I suppose. It's not like we have absconded from Trench before. But that is kind of the point. We're trying something new by leaving.
[She is missing the point about what's actually strange about that.]
They are. They've been here since we were in Deerington. Ange has the power to summon them but they've been confined to their stake form and are unable to do much beyond. ...Stake things.
no subject
All right. Maybe a slightly more direct approach is needed, although Willow is still trying to be as gentle as she can under the circumstances.]
Well... I mean, it doesn't really stop there, does it? The weirdness, that is. Think about it, Ruby - really think about it. Ange never would have wanted you to be different from who you were before. She certainly never would have wanted you to be furniture. I think something's gone wrong here, and maybe it's really hard for you to see it, thanks to... You know. Trench's everything.
I'm worried about you both right now.
