the room of shards

[upmoving]

[The landscape is dim in all directions, an unnatural darkness lit only by a strange sooty ambiance that seems to come from nowhere in particular. The floor is black sand, and scattered throughout are huge, monolith-sized shards of mirrored glass. In the distance you think you see a castle, at the end of a cracked stone path.]

[He picks himself up, tapping the path with his foot. This one isn't odd as well is it?]

[It doesn't seem so. However, you may notice you've gone a shade... pale. Like your colours have washed out slightly, and anywhere a piece had fallen off of your reflection, a piece seems to have fallen off of you, exposing nothingness.]

[Like a brilliant ruler and kind of the world he sticks a finger in one of those holes of nothingness in himself.]

Re: the room of shards

[upmoving]

[It's nothing. You're hollow. Congratulations.]

Re: the room of shards

[royallyfuckedup]

[Well I always knew I was made of nothing and had no substance so really! This is fine.]

[He kneels to run his fingers through the sand.]

[It's warm. Actually rather pleasant.]

Re: the room of shards

[royallyfuckedup]

[Heading to a monolith of glass through this sand then.]

[did you miss your asshole reflection because there he is, laughing at you]

Re: the room of shards

[royallyfuckedup]

[Standing out of grabbing distance.]

Do you speak?

Re: the room of shards

[upmoving]

[No, but it apparently does think you're really funny, in a condescending way.]

Re: the room of shards

[royallyfuckedup]

[Well you;re annoying too, asshole. He'll try to reduce this shard to sand. All the shards to sand if he can.]

Re: the room of shards

[upmoving]

[You destroy all the shards you can see, at least. Presumably they carry on forever.]

Re: the room of shards

[royallyfuckedup]

[Rude-ass mirrors. He starts walking towards the castle, following the path.]

Re: the room of shards

[upmoving]

[Your path is unchallenged. The castle seems to be the one you know. Or rather, the one you knew -- it appears as it did when Ariel was ruler.]

Re: the room of shards

[royallyfuckedup]

[He does actually hesitate. It's. Uncomfortable. He feels a chill. There's no good memories from the way the castle looks like this. Or there are a few but they're so mired in bad ones it just makes the moments of good a constant thorn to keep the wound painful instead of numb.]

[But at least he can figure out where he is now. He tries the doors.]

Re: the room of shards

[upmoving]

[They take you to a place you were very familiar with, when you lived here. Because it was the harem. Welcome home.]
