[Behold Tiffany: sitting at the foot of the steps in the Broken Stair room, a drunk and passed-out Mason slumped next to her with his head pillowed on her shoulder. Fortunately, she looks sober herself, albeit tired and stressed. She has her arms around him and is lightly stroking his hair, more for her own comfort than for his at this point.]

We're looking to hear from some people. Merlin and Gwen, 'cause they're our wardens, but also Iris, Dillon, and Simon. I wanna know if they're okay. And Mason wants to know about Tig and, uh-- Elena? Elana? I think it was Elena. And also--

[Here she makes a face.]

Facilier. Fucking asshole.

I was also wondering if-- I mean, we don't have magic powers or nothing, and this whole place is... really, really fucked up. We came in here because it's quiet, but the stairs don't ever end, and I think there must be a better way.

So we need help. I don't know exactly where we are, but I can say it's near the bedrooms with the dead bodies, 'cause that's where I pulled him from. A lot of the stuff here seems strange and magical, so I was thinking, maybe we could just sit here until someone who--

[Suddenly one of the beams creaks extra loudly, and a spooky, etherial chattering can be heard echoing around the darkened room. Tiffany curls her fingers into the sleeve of Mason's shirt, eyeing the ceiling warily.]

... I would appreciate someone coming real soon, I think.

[They'll be camped out there for a bit, so characters going up or down might pass them by. Feel free to stop and chat! Or glare. Or gloat.]

[OOC: Mason gets blanket rights to wake up and threadjack anywhere if Allison so chooses! This also means he could potentially hear Tiffany's side of audio/video conversations, even locked ones, so keep that in mind if you want your character to say something he shouldn't overhear.]

[That would mean admitting he cares. He pauses, lithe fingers tapping the spine of a book. ]

Better had. You said something about magic?

Video

[tucky]

Yeah. I don't know what kind, but there was something going on in there.

[Before she wakes him, though, she hesitates.]

-- You fuck around with him like you fucked with me?

[changeitroundsome]

Hmm. This whole place feels full of it. Could be what got at him.

[He scowls at the accusation. ]

Not that my relationship with Mason is any of your damn business, but no.

[tucky]

I never said it fucking was.

[changeitroundsome]

[He heaves out a frustrated sigh. ]

Sorry, I forgot talkin' to you was like talkin' to a really stubborn brick wall.

Just wake him up.

[tucky]

[She shoots Facilier a dirty look, then pats at Mason's cheek.]

Hey. Wake up for a second; your friend wants to talk to you.

[maced_eggs]

[Mason fusses at the hand near his cheek, but opens his eyes after a moment]

S'going on? I thought you said I could have five more minutes. S'not been half that long.

[changeitroundsome]

...Well, you're talking so I'm gonna assume you're not injured or anythin'.

[That's like asking someone if they're okay, right? ]

[maced_eggs]

Doc?

[He sits up, blinking at the screen]

Oi. Doc. S'just you, then?

Nah. Nah, I feel...great. Really great, actually.

[changeitroundsome]

[Shadow flits across the screen, it doesn't stop, though. It's avoiding the worms.]

It's never really just me.

...Did you find a lotta booze or something?

[tucky]

[And in the background Tiffany shifts uncomfortably and cringes closer to Mason; fuck that creepy shadow thing that may or may not be a demon.]

sorry about lateness, needed to buy a paid. o\

[maced_eggs]

[Mason for his part gives a grin and a wink]

Maaaaybe.

What've you been up to all this time? Two of you. What've the two of you been up to?

unforgivable!!! gosh!!!!

[changeitroundsome]

Been at the library. They got books on everything here.

[He is never going to leave. ]

:( ikr

[maced_eggs]

You're acting like you've never seen a library before.

[changeitroundsome]

I seen plenty, but nothing like this before.

[maced_eggs]

What's wrong with the one we've got back on the ship?

[changeitroundsome]

It ain't anywhere near as extensive as this one. There are books here that could unlock so many secrets.

[maced_eggs]

You an' your bloody secrets.

[changeitroundsome]

Secrets are power, Mason. Ya'll can do a lot, with the right ones.

[maced_eggs]

...Can you find a way to get girls to like you?

[changeitroundsome]

[That gets a laugh. ]

Depends on if you only want them to like you, or if you want them to love you. Love is a much more tricky thing to manipulate.

[maced_eggs]

Nah. Love's just a harder version of like, isn't it?

[changeitroundsome]

Not at all, it's a deeper force. There's a reason why the fairytales have curses broken by love's true kiss.

[maced_eggs]

That's something that exists? Come off it.

[changeitroundsome]

'Course it does. I've used some of those curses, myself.
