[ENTER THE PALACE]
[You find yourself with a sensation like floating in water.]
[Above, the sky is dark. You can occasionally see things shifting, like gusts of wind, or perhaps waves of water. Is it…even a sky above you? Or is it some kind of giant ocean? Whatever it is, you can’t make it out very well. All around you, you appear to be floating in what appears to be water. It looks like a great, wide ocean of…space in every direction around you, with stars and lights twinkling in the distance. It looks like water and feels like water, but it doesn’t make you wet. You can reach your hand into it and pull some out, the purple and violet water and the tiny points of light inside it will even rest in your hands if you cup them to carry it, but once you’re not trying to hold it anymore, it’ll flow off of you, not a single drop remaining behind. You feel something similar if you go underneath the surface. The “water” doesn’t touch your eyes, mouth or nose when give the chance, it merely drifts around you, allowing you to breathe and see unabated. And you can see for a great distance, the twinkling stars illuminating the ocean of space all around you. Though perhaps less dark and empty, it feels every bit as vast as the sky above. You feel like you could swim forever and never reach the edge.]
[It’s quiet, here, with little noise around you but the starry ocean’s waves crashing back into its surface. It’s peaceful. In another situation, it might even be comfortable.]

[Nell’s room has a bed, a desk and a dresser. On the floor there’s a stack of books and a tablet that mostly seems to be for playing audiobooks. In one corner there’s a big stack of music in a bunch of different mediums. There’s neatly compiled stacks of CDs, cassette tapes and there’s even a stack of vinyl records. And there’s a cassette player, a CD player and a record player all kept neatly next to each other as well. There’s even a guitar laying against the wall next to the stack of music. Next to all the books and music on the floor is a large green bean bag. There’s also a nightstand with a lamp and a couple photos on it next to the bed. On the desk, there's a loose stack of a few papers and photos. On the nightstand, there's a framed photo. There also seems to be something on the bed, under the covers.]
[You can explore this room or return to the Living Room.]

[Dear Agnis,
Here's some places I thought we could go to. If there's anywhere else in Manchester you'd like to visit, please tell me and I'll look up everything about it! We can't wait to see you and I'm so looking forward to meeting you in person for the first time! <3
Love,
Nell]

He'll tuck that away
into his inventoryand move on to the pictures on the nightstand. ]no subject
[You acquired Halloween Picture.]
no subject
OKAY WELL.
He's meandering back to Nell. ]
Nell-san, can I ask you about a few things?
no subject
Oh!
Uh, sure! I'll help if I can! What do you need?
no subject
Um, first, about this trip schedule...
[ tugging it out! ]
Who's Agnis?
no subject
Agnis is Nessa's older sister! She lives out in the country. We were planning that trip for when she comes to visit us.
[Beat.]
This is Manchester, by the way.
no subject
... Is that... in Europe?
no subject
[Beat.]
We're British.
Um.
In case that wasn't clear.
no subject
[ SURE. ]
... Um, so. She hasn't come to visit yet?
no subject
The way I understand it, she lives out in the country and doesn't leave it very much.
no subject
no subject
Yeah! Agnis basically raised her...they've been really close their entire lives, I think. Nessa tries to go back to the country to visit when work lets her and they talk on the phone all the time.

[ a beat... okay, more info gathering, right! Time to Present the Halloween Photo. ]
What about this? It looks like you guys were having a good time.
no subject
Yup! That was Halloween! We dressed up as witches...and Puck used his special talent to be our fearsome cat familiar! Nessa says every witch needs a good familiar!
[It's still not clear whether the cat being so big is real or a joke...]
That was my first Halloween....that was great.

no subject
O-oh, um y'know, I just mean....
[She's clearly trying to think of something to explain that choice of words away. She's equally clearly not coming up with anything.]
no subject
I just wasn't sure what you meant.
no subject
It's just, uhm. Kind of a long story. M-maybe we can talk about it later.
no subject
[ a beat.
hm.
speaking of uncomfortable-- ]
Those other rooms... they're locked, right? Whose rooms are they?
no subject
[She looks at the hallway.]
One of them is Nessa's study. The other is her bedroom.
