fifty-seventh labyrinth

[pharaohlighting]

[There is a boy sleeping on the couch of the lobby, curled with his face tucked into the corner, long flame-red hair falling wild around his shoulders. He sighs sleepily, snuggling for a moment against the arm of the couch before open his eyes and...freezing.

He didn't remember falling asleep somewhere other than his bed, but there was the possibility that he'd simply lost track of where he was in a haze of phoenix. Lorenzo wouldn't be pleased, if was the case. He should probably get back to his room

Slowly, he sat up and looked around. He was clad only in trousers and an over-large, dingy blouse that hangs off of one shoulder and shows a few ugly scars scrawling there way over the skin of his back.

No, this definitely wasn't the Shining Tiger. As much as it liked to pretend at opulence, it's paste-jewels and thinning brocade couldn't stand up to close scrutiny. Wherever he was, was genuinely high-class. His first thought was the Mirador, but all he knew of that place was there was no windows that would allow this amount of light to fill it a room of this size. Unless it was magic, maybe. His second thought was maybe he'd been sold off to a noble, but he couldn't exactly remember that happening. Couldn't have taken enough phoenix to forget that could he?

And that put him right back to hocus stuff. Powers.]

Vincent...you there? Lorenzo?

[His voice is light and obviously young. Not quite a teenager, maybe, heavy with a southern style accent, and very lightly scared.]

...Anybody?

((ooc: Loss start!. Have at kid!Felix))

Think you'll get a chance to find out?

[radiantwingedone]

Possibly. Eventually. [ He normally is more of a hermit. ]

[pharaohlighting]

Mmmmm [He spends a few noisy moment enjoying more of his apple]

So what do we do here? 'Sides raid the kitchen?

[radiantwingedone]

As one wills, for most part. Castle has some rooms for entertainment - there is a bar, indoor pool for swimming, and a room that involves a great deal of steam. [ He means the sauna, but oh well. ]

Grounds outside are fairly free to explore; a small town is outside, as are gardens and a forest. Elsewhere in the castle there is a library, medical center, a room that changes weather between sunshine and snow, depending on which day it is, room for exercise, room for games. Also a room for washing clothing. Mostly, castle holds rooms of other residents.

[pharaohlighting]

And we can go wherever we want?

[radiantwingedone]

Other than home.

[pharaohlighting]

Huh. Ain't that a kick in the ass.

[radiantwingedone]

For some. As understand, some arrive here, and are alive. Should return to home, return to death.

[pharaohlighting]

Wait. You're dead?

[radiantwingedone]

.... No. I meant that if some return to home, they would return to being dead. I was quite alive upon my arrival.

[pharaohlighting]

Oh. Well that's good. Pretty sure I'm alive, though.

[radiantwingedone]

Very likely.
