(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..

[Ruby finished ribbing her scythe out of a plant and quickly looked over to Oscar as he rushed to her side. Except she didn't make any gesture to show any sign of familiarity. No bright smile, no hug, not even a high five. Just a very business like and professional smile.]

Oscar.

The front door has been removed for the moment, as we're not occupying the house at the moment.

This garden is currently serving as our home.

[--The stilted manner and polite, formal tone were as unlike Ruby as anything he had ever witnessed. Oscar stopped in his tracks, hazel eyes wide and uncertain for a moment before darting away. He studied the rose bushes instead, running his fingers over their fragile leaves while he listened to her words.]

...It's still wintertime, [He said with obvious concern and unease.] And, those weird creatures are everywhere again. Is the garden even safe to be your permanent home right now?

[Ruby doesn't seem to notice the change in his expression. Instead she seems focused on his questions.]

The cold isn't something we need to worry about here. My Golden Witch has made it the perfect temperature. And any plants, or other creatures that try to sneak in will meet their end at my hands.

I doubt there is anywhere safer than this garden right now.

You're probably right,

[Oscar ceded, still worried. There was a great deal that he didn't yet understand, but the little he did know suggested that this whole situation was trouble.]

What about the chickens? You don't think they're lonely, do you?

[Of all the things Oscar could bring up it was the chickens. Something Ruby did deeply care for in her heart of hearts. Except when he brings them up she just stares blankly.]

If the chickens are lonely they are more than welcome to come to this realm to. But I wont leave to retrieve them.
