Re: great hall

( ... hmm. he wonders how much and what kind of history has been written in those books.

either way, when he's sure there's no pushing in, he goes back to the footprints. the idea that charon may circle back to the library doesn't seem to be one that's worthwhile, anyway... it is one of the more obvious places to hide.

and that's what he's doing, isn't it? hiding. it's not like charon was trapped in his mind - and again, a library would be a terrible place to trap charon in. he'd be thriving.

he follows the trail of ash and bootprints, and lifts his lily to try and see better. )

[he can follow the trail behind a stairwell...

there's a small, nondescript door behind here. it's locked.

his flower gets hot in his hand.]

Re: great hall

[terraria]

( he lets out a little hiss, looking at the lily, and then at the door.

??? )

I can't pick a lock with you. ( as if the flower can hear him... )

[it tugs faintly at his hand, kind of like a dowsing rod.]

Re: great hall

[terraria]

( hmmmm. okay, he'll follow its movements, then... )

Re: great hall

[endsjustified]

[it leads him towards a totally unmarked random spot on the wall.]

Re: great hall

[terraria]

( ...?

he raises a brow, and then touches the spot, running his fingers along it to see if there's a groove or a seam of a door. )

[touching that part of the wall reveals it's a seamless illusion! there is a small hidden alcove there. you feel some kind of switch...?

when you press it, there's a click from the nondescript door. it's open now.]

Re: great hall

[terraria]

( whoa.

he lets out a low whistle, impressed - but also pushing the door open, curious to where it leads, but also lowering the lily to try and see where the footprints are leading. )

Re: great hall

[endsjustified]

[it's a DARK NARROW HALLWAY beyond there. the footprints continue through, he can see in the lily's light, and turn a sharp corner at the end, going deeper, deeper in.]

Re: great hall

[terraria]

( ,,,,,,,,,,

darkness...

sucks in a deep breath and lets it out. then boldly goes into the darkness with his lily light held high!

not too high though. he needs to follow the footprints. )

Charon...? Are you back here...?

[no answer still, but he can go on.]
