(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..

Maybe a little. I do have an image to keep up, y'know.

[The super chill badass coolguy image that everyone definitely has of him, of course.

The question, however, has his expression thin a little, because it's harder to play it cool about something that's kind of unsettling and concerning but possibly just Trench nonsense that'll blow over when you're being asked for an honest opinion.]


...It's uh, pretty impressive, kiddo. Making all this by yourself.

[A beat of silence passes. Lingers.]

But uh. Are you sure everything's...okay?

[Qrow's never really been the guy who does tact, preferring to generally barrel his way through things with blunt irreverence--even if that was sometimes more of a front to keep his own vulnerabilities at bay. Even so, he can tell this isn't a situation that he can get through without watching his step. If he's not careful, he'll do worse than an uncool faceplant in a gazebo.

Despite her current state, Ange more or less has him pegged on the concern about Ruby, and he rubs at his neck awkwardly as he looks out at the maze that sprawls out before them.]


...It's not the plants I'm worried about.

[That's how you know it's Serious Business, of course. Qrow hates admitting to experiencing An Emotion unless he absolutely has no choice.]

I mean, you haven't noticed anything a little ... different? In how she reacts to things, or ... what she gets excited about?

[Or doesn't get excited about, as the case might happen to be.]
