week 0; monday ( sandalphon )

[axilium]

[well, they're all trapped in murder castle, so. might as well get to know the people who might stab him one day.

it's why, when he sees sandalphon gazing longingly out the window, remembering a sadder, gayer time (?), he pauses.]

Getting claustrophobic in here?

Comments

[melancoffeea]

[Sandalphon tears his gaze from the window with a slight furrow in his brow. People here are so nosy.]

Just looking outside. Are you?

[axilium]

[get used to it, pal.]

Not really. I am curious about the outside, though.

[melancoffeea]

The landscape shifts. Sometimes, there's a town in the horizon.

[axilium]

... Ha. What, so they're teasing us with illusions of escape?

[melancoffeea]

It's possible. What better way to suggest the pieces into action than by showing a glimpse of what's out there?

[axilium]

Hmm. On the other hand, if we're in a separate dimension altogether, it's not like running off to the nearest town will help us get home.

[melancoffeea]

No. But the desire to go outside can be all-consuming.

[axilium]

I wouldn't know.

[melancoffeea]

Oh? I wonder whether you're fortunate or not for that.

[axilium]

Spoken like someone who has an all-consuming desire to go outside.

[melancoffeea]

That was another time. I've no such interest anymore.

[axilium]

Gave up?

[melancoffeea]

Yes.

That's why it's fine if I stay here.

[axilium]

... Uh, this is getting really heavy. You're honestly okay with your world being frozen or whatever?

[melancoffeea]

I've already been removed from the physical plane of existence in that world. It doesn't require me to keep moving.
