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..

I suppose. She might appreciate the effort too.

[Her response is simple and to the point but she takes a step back and checks him over. She gives a little nod of approval when he seems to meet her standards.

But then the question comes up and while she hasn't seemed to notice or care about the change in his expression. She does look puzzled by the question.]

Only in the ways Trench normally is.

I found my powers were being drained earlier in the month. I could hardly stand. Ange helped to correct that.

[There's a significant pause. So he was right, there was some kind of curse associated with this. And maybe that means it'll sort itself out by the end of the month, but you can never tell, with Trench. He's never seen one quite like this, leaving someone seeming so...hollowed out. Ange's role in this still doesn't entirely seem to add up, either.]

...Huh. So what uh, what'd she do, exactly?

[onekindsoul]

[Ruby doesn't seem bothered by the question. She shrugs gently.]

She granted me some of her power. Filled in the void that was left.

Now I act as her furniture.
