maybe you're still dreaming...

[ it's particularly foggy this morning— in fact, should you venture into the city, you might find that you can't see a anything further than your own arm's length. however, around noon, the fog will subside; the first thing you might be able to spot as the fog clears would be the shape of something rather large in the distance— something familiar, perhaps.

isn't that the church?


it's mysterious to say the least, considering it was supposedly demolished last summer. the locals seem very unfazed about it all, as though nothing had ever once happened to it. you know you're curious, so how about exploring it?

—except the interior isn't quite like it used to be. fog seems to remain inside of the building and it's all very wet— it's almost as though the church had been swallowed up by the sea then redeposited within vatheon. not to mention all the corridors and doors— in fact, it shouldn't be possible for the inside of the building to be so much bigger than the outside.

careful though, you might get lost. one door leads to another corridor of doors, which only leads to another, which leads to too many flights of stairs... is this a maze? try to choose your path carefully though; opening some doors leads to unfortunate circumstances— rooms aren't exactly supposed to spontaneously explode or suddenly have their floors disappear into a pit, are they? it's clearly a maze with traps.

anyone lucky enough to successfully solve the maze and avoid all the traps might find theirself in an odd room located on the very top floor. tucked far away in a dark corner of the room stands a peculiar wooden box. there's a slot located on the top of the box, and nearby is a plaque that simply reads: ]

[Found yourself trapped? Hurt from an exploding room?]

[Fortunately, Darkleer is amongst those exploring the church and he is quite used to confusing, dangerous areas that no one has explored before. It's true that he may not have a squadron to direct in this case, as he's more used to... but he does have robots.]

[Lots of robots.]

[So if you find yourself in a conundrum, you may find your friendly Alternian hermit or a mechanical beast of some kind helping you out!]

[For the no doubt many drawn by the church, they may see the towering form of Darkleer standing near it. It's hard to tell because of his usual shades, but he appears to be staring right up at it. At his sides are two sleek mechanical greyhounds some may remember from the beach party- one with lines and eyes of red, the other blue- and between his thumb and forefinger, he's idly twisting about one of the roses the locals are selling.]

[Anyone can come and talk to him, if they so wish. He won't turn away company in most cases.]

Huh, it's back.

[Wow, will you look at that. Gamzee remembers that building. It was gone for a long time, but now it is back just like a miracle. A foggy, kinda dampish, miracle, but a miracle none the less.

He shuffles up lazily to Darkleer's side, shadowing his eyes with a hand as he peers up at the massive church.]

[Of course Darkleer has to explore the Church. The curiosity is far too much.]

[So at any point, you might run into the archer wandering the church. His hair is tied back into a loose bun and slid into it is that rose from before. (Go ahead and tease him, if you like. The reaction won't be much.) In his hands, there is a large book and he's apparently making a map of sorts in side of it of the Church, or at least doing his best to make one. The mechanical beasts are still at his sides, acting as lookouts once more.]

[The real miracle is that Gamzee remembers something this far back, honestly.]

[Darkleer nods as Gamzee comes next to him, and the red hound nudges his hip with its muzzle. Stupid infectious Signless shenanigans.]


I do not suppose you could tell me more about it, Gamzee?

[Oh hush, his memory has improved a bunch since he stopped hitting the slime quite so hard.

He drops one hand to enthusiastically pet the metal hound, looking thoughtful.]


Not really? Like, it were all there for a really long time, and then suddenly it all fuckin' disappear done like that. Can't think of any motherfucker what ever got inside of it. They didn't let us.

[Well enough to remember disappearing churches but not enough to remember which shoe goes on which foot some mornings.]

[Darkeer sighs, but he'll be honest in that he wasn't expecting much.]


I will see if I can ask around at a later date, then. It certainly appears open now...

We should fuckin' check it out.

[The ticking noise is so mysterious.

But no really. When Minene's involved...which is it? The traps or her?

She's already dirty from several explosions she had run into, a look of ecstasy on her face. This was the most action she'd seen since coming here!

She's running, though - why is she running?

BOOM!

Oh. That's why. That explosion lifts her off her feet, and she laughs as she falls down to the ground.
] It's even better when I adjust them!

[Feel free to think she's insane. Really. She kind of is.]

[Equius wanders around the corner at this point, from where he'd been investigating the sides of the building.]

It looks about the same as it did before.

[The fog around has put Gale on edge- before, fog had happened when the body appeared during the 'April Fool's' problems, and it reminds him of that. At least this time, it isn't a dead person that turns up, but an enormous building is just as intriguing, though in different ways. Of course, he doesn't recognize it- He's not been in the bubble anywhere near long enough for that.

For now, he'll just observe it, and the locals selling flowers. Eventually, he'll buy one of the flowers, to examine the differences between it and the Embryon rosebush back at base. If he sees anyone who looks like they know what's going on, though, they'll be getting approached.]

[Thank goodness for you, Equius.]

[There's a small, extremely brief smile Equius' ways, and then he nods to the two of them.]


Are the two of you certain you want to accompany me inside, then?

Wouldn't have up and fuckin' said so if we didn't, yeah?

[he just stretches mellowly, giving the giant building a look over. Maybe he should be more tense for this, but Gamzee doesn't do tense. It'll be fine anyway. He's sure of it.]

No worries, aight? We handled tough shit before.

[And at some point, Gale comes across. He's too used to battle not to want to at least investigate the sound of someone else in this place. He won't laugh at the rose in Darkleer's hair, because it makes it easy enough to tell that he's probably another person from outside exploring, rather than a protector of this place.

The mechanical creatures leave him wary, though, so he stops a safe distance away from Darkleer to address him.]


What are you doing?

[The two robots perk up upon hearing Gale approach, and the red one wags its tail slowly. Darkleer pauses his task and adjusts his glasses.]

I am doing what many others are doing. I am getting to know this place better. A part of that means making a map, if it is possible.

[Fucking. Temples.

If the mazes didn't get you the poison arrows and falling floors would. This was not at all what the weasel had signed up for. He liked the promise of treasure as much as the next guy. Probably more than the next guy. But there were plenty of better ways to go about getting it.

He tentatively poked at a tripwire with his boot. What he really needed was a stooge...]

[Ioder stood near the doors of the church, staring up at it with wide blue green eyes. He hadn't been in Vatheon when the church was still around, so the structure was entirely alien to him - not unlike how the city was to him when he first arrived.

And something about it just felt... wrong. Or maybe that was just him? His stomach was fluttering, mouth dry, a sense of weight on his shoulders that shouldn't have been there. Of course not sleeping more than a couple of hours a night the past few days isn't helping.

He bought one of the roses. He didn't know why he did. He just... did. A part of him wanted to venture inside, but he was hesitant, reluctant to do so alone.

So he just stood. Staring. Waiting. For what? He didn't know.

Maybe something to push him inside.]

[How about instead of a push, an arm resting across your shoulders to drag you with?

The pirate was there with a few of those pretty black roses tucked between his other arm, and side.]


Not gonna get anything done sticking 'round out here, lad. C'mon. [A cant of his head as he grinned.] Time to figure this mystery out and find out if it snatched people here.

Any o' your friends missing?

[Oh that's okay-- aaaahhh what being dragged!]

N-no... not that I know of... a-are we really going in there... ?

[Yes. The emperor is afraid. Please don't drag him in there.]

My best mate is missing. Guessing they might be held in here.

[What is good parenting? You're supposed to make them face their fears, right?]

Aye. Seems to be the best bet for finding any answers. Not entirely sure 'bout the flowers, but figured my mate might like 'em. [Not like he was trying to be nice to someone who had to go get himself kidnapped. Again.]

Coming? [Hasn't relinquish him yet. Does he really have a choice?]</small?
