Re: Level U - East Door
"You better make sure you got candles ready for when you get to talk to him. If fire is gonna be a problem," MK said. He looked at where they ended up.
"So we keep going right...right?"
Re: Level U - East Door
Red Son turns to MK, nuzzling the top of his mate's head.
Only to blush at that. "That-embarassment...swooshing! Is different!" He protested.
He looks back down the hall and nods. "We keep going right," he said, turning to head down the next hall on the right.
Re: Level U - East Door
The corridor hooks around and continues without branching. After a while, you feel another breeze. This one is uncomfortably warm (unless you're Red Son and then it's just "this is less cool than usual"). Do you investigate?
Re: Level U - East Door
"I mean...is it that different?" He asked. Then he felt the feelings coming back. He had an idea.
"Hey Macaque? Honestly, you're pretty cool. Like, in a rad way. You are. Don't let anyone tell you different!"
Then came that rush of hot air.
"Whoa. That's hot. Should we check it out? Might be another void or memory."
Re: Level U - East Door
Re: Level U - East Door
Red Son paused. "Is it?" He asked and hummed. Then he pulls off his jacket and holds it out to MK. "Wear that. I can try and catch flames, but at least my coat has enchantments to resist fire," he said before linking arms again and kicking up a breeze around them to try and help keep MK cool.
"But I'm sure the wonderful Mac wouldn't give us a challenge we can't overcome. He's been working hard for us."
Re: Level U - East Door
Though the affirmation does help with the temperature a little bit, keeping the heat at bay.
Re: Level U - East Door
"Your shadow plays are amazing! And I need you. I was wrong. I was lying and wrong. I need you as my friend and as a mentor. I need you. And I'm gonna say all this again outside. Just wanted to tell you that."
MK sighed. "Any way. ...Why is it so hot in here?"
Re: Level U - East Door
"It could be pressure. It could also be intensity. I'm rather suspecting this room might be the panic attacks impulses when confronted with care," he said.
A pause. "You're incredibly handsome. Even without the glamours. Really, you're very attractive like that too, it's just a different kind. But I really love your ears. They're so unique and so you, and I like how you look when I stroke them," he said, trying to keep his own hair from flaring.
Re: Level U - East Door
The second thing is that a particular tile on the ceiling starts glowing a soft red. Not overheated red, just a beacon of HEY LOOK UP HERE.
(Third effect might be that when you are done with the heart he might want to hear all that again. Or he might need to hear it again.)
Re: Level U - East Door
"Okay. Hold on," Without warning he grabbed Red Son by the knees and lifted him up with ease.
"Up you go!"
Re: Level U - East Door
Red Son squawked as he's suddenly grabbed, flailing a bit to get his balance. "Why are-you and Dragon Girl are just like this?!" Because Mei absolutely did that for the peach.
"I can also FLY." He groused before huffing and reaching up to touch the tile.
Re: Level U - East Door
When Red Son touches the tile and removes it, he will find a heating duct with a red scrap of fabric in it. It's quite hot in there but not dangerously so even for humans. Just uncomfortable.
Touching the tile gives you a memory:
You are Macaque, and you're quite comfortable.
You're resting beside a sleeping Red Son, cuddled up with his heat. Basking, really. Happy and satisfied in most ways, which is a pretty good record given that it's you. Just happy for the moment, against all odds.
You nuzzle closer and you can't be sure if it's instinctive or she's really partially awake, but she reaches up and strokes through your fur. You purr against her shoulder, soaking in the attention, whatever she can give. It's greedy and you know it, but at this moment you don't care. You'd give anything for time to stop right now, just for a bit.
You make a note to make a habit of this. You could get used to it.
Re: Level U - East Door
"Nice! Another memory!" He wasn't about to address the fact you can fly, Red Son. He knew it. This was way more fun.
"Alright. Another memory down. Look at us go!"
Re: Level U - East Door
Then Red Son is absolutely blushing, hair flaring up. Why is this maze assaulting him?! "Ah...y-yes, there. May be two. The tile is one too," Red Son said and is going to reach up to grab the red fabric.
Re: Level U - East Door
You get the impression of Macaque, by himself, wrapping himself tight in his worn red scarf for warmth and comfort. It's a situation he's been in often over his many years. Sometimes of his own making, sometimes by circumstances beyond his control.
You get the sense of him wishing for something better. Wishing and hoping, but not optimistic.
Re: Level U - East Door
MK asked as he waited for the all clear.
Re: Level U - East Door
Red Son breathes in sharply. He had known it had been a big deal for Macaque to give him his scarf, but that just makes it hit all the harder. Giving Red Son his comfort when he felt he had nothing else.
He rubs at his eye. "Down," he said. "Its....one is hoping for better when he was alone. And...and..." He swallows thickly. "Wanting to keep me close."
Re: Level U - East Door
"Alright. So not being alone, afraid of losing himself, and wanting to keep you. Kinda getting a losing people theme here. Let's keep moving. Gotta be more. We haven't been through the whole maze yet."
MK nodded and smiled. This was getting easier to deal with and that was nice. Best to keep this momentum going.
Re: Level U - East Door
However, after a few feet, not even any turns, it seems to dead end. Want to try the goodfeels again, or give up and turn back?
Re: Level U - East Door
"But we'll help this room outside, wont' we? We're going to shower Macaque with love and affection," he said as they moved further down the path. "Because he's very important to us."
But it was a dead end, and so they turned back and went to the end of D with more affection and.
Hm.
"Nothing? That feels...weird," he said, looking around. "Mac? Could you give us a hint? You're very good at that. Even if you want to challenge us, you're always good at giving some hint or clue on what we're supposed to do. You've been working hard, so there's a reason this corridor is here? We want to see all your efforts through, you're important to us and we want to help you."
Re: Level U - East Door
Re: Level U - East Door
"All these fun hidden passageways. You definitely know how to make a maze, Macaque. You smart trickster you," MK said and tried to size up if he could shrink and get under there.
"You also love making us think outside the box. Never just one obvious answer. Hold on." MK poofed and turned super small. He's gonna try and fit through the gap.
Re: Level U - East Door
Re: Level U - East Door
"Hey! That was smart! Okay. Uuuuh..." Mk looked around. Last time this happened there was a portrait here. Was there one now?
