Early heart run.

[restorefromsave]

As you step through the door a siren goes off, the sound echoing in your ears for several minutes as the world goes completely black and empty.

You’re not falling but you’re not really standing on anything either, and all that you can percieve is the sirens still blaring, loud loud loud in your ears--

There’s an explosion so huge you don’t see or hear it so much as feel it through to your very bones. You feel an impact, strange and unsettling, and you think you might be dead? Because you can’t feel your body anymore.

Slowly the sound begins to fade and light and feeling returns, allowing you to see where you are. You’re also alive, good for you.

You end up here at the end. Unless you're Yuki, who ends up here.

She points with her hand holding a knife at a drawer.

[takes one]

Thanks. Hey, do you know what those vines in here are?

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

"What vines?"

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

... never mind.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

"If you are not feeling well I will make you some soup."

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

... I wouldn't mind. Let me know when it's ready.

[goes back into the main area to go and tackle some of these vines with pointy things!!]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

They stick hard to the whatever they’re attached to, and it’s hard to grab it anywhere without getting injured by thorns. It’s going to take a lot of effort to get rid of them.

How do you use your knife on them? Hacking or prying?

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[hacking because how do you use knives they are not my thing!! and has gloves on, but still probably getting stuck occasionally]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

You hack up some of the vines! Others detach from the floor. They start wrapping around your feet and ankles, growing at an alarming rate, tearing at clothes and flesh.

Gara is sitting on top of one of the chairs just watching you like he's bored.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Shit!

[stumbles back and tries to stomp on and tear the vines off him]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

You can tear them off. They'll leave some nasty scratches and keep growing towards you though.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Dammit, what the hell are these things--?!

[crouching and stabbing at them]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

They try to squirm away from the knife but they're not that fast, you can stab 'em.

They wrap around the knife instead, growing, trying to reach your hands, clinging, clinging.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[swears again and tries to rip them off like extremely persnickety worms]

Get off!!

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

Gara snickers. The vines twist but you can rip them off. Now what?

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[1. flip gara off

2. retreat into kitchen]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

Hail is making cabbage soup.

"You return."

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Yeah, uh, do you have a lighter I could borrow? Or some matches?

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

"There is a lantern."

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Awesome, do you have a rag I could use too? And a cup of water?

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

She hands you both, and returns to stirring soup.

"What are you doing?"

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Pest control, no big deal. Thanks!

[heads back out into the living room and PREPARES FOR BATTLE +_+]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

The vines are trying to reclaim the territory they lost.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Alright you fuckers, this means war.

[setting down the cup of water and forming the end of the rag into a ball; opens the lantern to try and light it]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

Cloth isn't the easiest to light on fire, but you can!
