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..

[Ruby raises a brow at the question. She had got it more than once over the last few days. She hadn't quite expected as many people to make such a big deal about it.]

I serve as her familiar. A trusted aide to help her complete her will. My life belongs to her and I serve her with all that I am.

That's the basics of it anyways.

[That had been the answer that seemed to calm people down the most at the moment.]

It's also my duty to protect her should anyone try to cross or harm her.

( Oh, familiar... he's heard of that before, yeah. "Furniture" is definitely a new way to put it, but maybe that's A Thing where Ange or Ruby are from...?

"Serve" is also kind of an odd term to use for one's romantic partner, but he's not here to judge! This whole thing is odd, like some dream, and it's clear that the rules are a little different here. Peter's not about to make any kind of trouble. )

Do you think anyone would really try to cross or harm her, here?

( It's a worrisome thought, and he's glancing around for a moment as though in attempt to spot any trouble-makers.... )

[Ruby taps her chin thought briefly. It's a little odd that she has to think of it.]

I think there are people who might be jealous of what we made, yes.

I've put a few people in a "time out" I suppose you'd call it. To reconsider how they talk to her or think of this place.

So we're safe for now.
