11/05 — ΣHeartless Snaring Cathedral...?

[userunfriendly]

Who: █████ & visitors
What: scheming
Where: Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground (Hulle Granz Cathedral)
When: Sunday, 11/05
Warnings: to be added


[ Despite the ominous aura, the haunted tower has seen no shortage of visitors recently. But for those who gate in today the air itself is different. The skies are black, and the mist that had blanketed only the top of the tower now pours out across the plains, shrouding the ruined city from sight.

Anyone who goes looking for the master of the tower will find that the room he occupied before now holds only a single door, standing unsupported in the middle of the room. It beckons, tugging with a terrible compulsion — you know whatever sight awaits you is one you'll later wish you could forget, and yet... you look. But the door opens only onto the bridge leading to Hulle Granz Cathedral, where the first quiet strains of choral music through the open doors guides you on. ]

((Note: Characters are welcome to receive the location from any other player and gate directly to Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground. Allowing those who found his tower inaccessible to come join, too, is cruelty.))

I-I told you things!

[ Didn't he? He thinks he did... he tried to...

...There isn't much defense for this. He squeezes Sinclair tighter and, finally, reaches up to ruffle his hair. ]

I'll... work on that.

[insinning]

...if you're really sorry, you're joining the Phantom Operatives. Just so you know.

[Hug. Huuug. He relaxes into Michel's hold, and manages to hold back a sniffle. There]

[userunfriendly]

I didn't realize I was invited.

[ Or, well. Conscripted, now. The tiny, near-silent chuckle finally eases the pressure of tears, and he begins to relax. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair lingers for a moment before he begins to pull away. He doesn't mean to be greedy and there are other people who want a moment with Michel too]

You don't have a choice anymore.

[Repent and share what you know]

[userunfriendly]

[ Not even a tiny effort not to alarm him, hm?

...That's more than fair. He has apologies and thank yous to deliver to the rest of the Phantom Operatives, too. ]

Can I... find you there later?

[ He wants a chance to talk, not in front of an audience... Sinclair throwing him to the wolves of this terrifying cathedral crowd is also fair, however. ]

[insinning]

Yeah. I'm going to help Fai and Yael down to the infirmary first but...I'll meet you there for sure.

[GET THAT INVITATION MICHEL]

[userunfriendly]

[ ...It's not really the time for smiling, is it? It's just that somehow they've come full circle.

Of course, he'll accept. ]

It... would probably be best if I didn't assist with that. I'll meet you later.

[insinning]

[Sinclair smiles, nods and lets go of Michel in time to see him get bowled over. Bye Michel...]

[ Ah... the final cruelty... ]
