(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..

Even Ange could, technically. But with how far her brain is stuck in corruption mode at this point, there's only one simple thing she really wants to say in response to that, especially considering who's sitting here with her. ]
Don't you trust me?
[ If Oscar is her brother, then he should, right? What reason would he have not to, when she's the one creating this world, and when Ruby is also so involved with its creation and maintenance? ]
no subject
I do.
[He said in level tones, matching Ange's own even tones with his own sense of literary understanding. Witches and Wizards were always fairly the same in the stories-- and stories weren't always very far from the truth.]
But I also love you, and I worry about both you and Ruby. The two of you make an impressive team-- one that's even more powerful with Uncle Break involved. But, three people don't always make the most effective of teams.
You need a lot more than just Ruby to walk with you and help you support your beautiful dreams.
Ange-- will you let me walk with you?
no subject
Hence why it's only a moment later that she asks: ]
You want to help?
[ Granted - the help in Oscar's mind and the help in Ange's mind could be two different things entirely, but Ange doesn't seem to be thinking of as much just yet.
Instead she asks just this, as if to confirm what she thinks she's hearing here. Even when corrupted, Ange hasn't forgotten what it's like to have help offered to you so few times during most of your life to be a little doubtful of it every single time it then does happen. ]
no subject
[He smiled at her warmly, as if undaunted by the Witch's unreadable expression and emotional distance that was as regal as it was eldritch. Such was the manner of witches and rich women-- who was a mere farmboy to question this.]
There aren't many of us left from the Dream, you know. We should stick together, and help each other make our own little places of beauty in the world we found after we went to sea.
no subject
[ It's why people could still enter this world. Maybe it wasn't a conscious decision on Ange's part, to leave that little portal open into this place, but her magic realised that she did want to let people in. Maybe not everyone, since the girl really dislikes some people in Trench, but-- she never wanted to shut out the people who mean something to her.
People like Oscar. Like other friends and family who have entered. She may have created this world, but it's not to rule as some sort of dictator. It's just-- ]
I only want this place to be safe for everyone.
[ And if others want to help with that, then that's no problem. It's why there's no protest from her to Oscar's words. ]
I.. would like for you to be here with us. I would miss you if you weren't.
[ Apparently that's something that hasn't changed, even with corruption bending Ange's mind. ]
