claude will peer over to see where she is before going around the desk to sit down next to her. if it seems like she doesn't mind him in her space, he'll press their shoulders together. ]
5. You open the door and find yourself surrounded by plants. Some are small, some are large, and one is... moving? It is creeping toward you on thick vines, opening itself up, and - yeah, that's a giant carnivorous plant. It's hungry. You get the sense that you should feed it before it feeds on you. What you give it is up to you - IT IS COMPLETELY UP TO YOU, VORE IS *NOT* YOUR ONLY OPTION HERE - but it must be something substantial, or else it will attack you, but you will black out before getting eaten and find yourself out in the hallway again, feeling supremely grossed out. Should you manage to feed it something different, the door will appear behind some of the smaller plants and you can escape out into the hallway while it is distracted with its feeding. Only four minutes have passed.
Claude is just looking at the hentai vines bleakly. ]
you settle down in front of a fireplace in a room that feels slightly cold and empty, despite the roaring fire. a man in a pressed white button-down shirt, black waistcoat, and cravat trails after you as you pick up the pomeranian practically yelping for your attention. you give maus a scrub down, cooing at the puppy.
you talk, a little, about your recent visit to the graveyard. they're all unhappy down there, like you knew they would be. you seem to be familiar with this man, considering you just crawl right into his lap, and he wraps his arms around you like nothing. he's cold and stiff, literally, but that's not really his fault. and then, reluctantly, you show the man in front of you the progress of your hand under your gloves.
"What's happening to us?" he asks, vaguely horrified, as you show him, and you hide your face. you don't know. but you have to keep going. and then, you insist:
"The fact that - we helped bring them here in the first place, Miles, I'm not going to turn around and ask them to save us. We have to - do something to appease the UWU so it doesn't take all of us out. I'll see what I can do."
he doesn't like that. "What can we even do to appease it now? We already essentially sold ourselves to it... You are not going back to speak to it alone."
and you don't like that. "You can't stop me," you tell him, roughly, and it turns into an argument.
... he talks you down. and you sigh out, "Logical. Logical as always, babe."
but you know that's not going to be the end of it. you know you have to do more. you just won't tell him.
[ The memory feels different from the others he's seen. The intimacy—is weird, and he feels a little disoriented by it, though he snaps back to the present when he watches Lup walk into a walk. ]
[oh, lup too, haha! matchy! in fact, she's stalking down the hallway with dirt on her hands and arms and - well, all over her shirt. he'll probably catch her kick the wall as she passes it.]
anyway she'll come find him eventually in the morning, if he hasn't spookily ghosted away. she has a to-go cup of coffee and a sleepy look on her face, but she's on the hunt. where is claude.]
