[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.]

Re: THE WITCH'S TOWER
Minato came by earlier, but he left to go take care of some stuff elsewhere in the palace. We were working on something, but I have some work to do before we can proceed, I'm gonna send him a message when it's ready again....
[She hands Sprezzatura the towel. Warm and fluffy! It’s just what you need after braving that storm. The girl tucks her hands behind her back.]
Oh, uh. [She sticks her hand out to shake.] I’m Nell, I’m Nessa’s cousin! And… [She gestures around the two of you.] This is her apartment! Uh. Our apartment, I guess. I live here with her. And this… [She reaches a hand on the cat napping there. He lets out a ‘mrrrrp’ and rolls over.] Is Puck!
If you want to rest a while and wait here for Minato, feel free! I think he'll be back, eventually!
Re: THE WITCH'S TOWER
He will be fine. [ :) ] He is smart boy. I am Ms Vaux. Pleased to meet you. Have you seen piece of clocktower about?
Re: THE WITCH'S TOWER
No, I don't think so. I think there's a clocktower in the South Wing though, I think....

Re: THE WITCH'S TOWER
[She pulls out her phone and starts typing. Then she shows Sprezzatura her phone.]
You can do that in the NessaShop!
It costs 500 NessaPoints. It's a lot, but it's definitely worth it!

[She rubs the back of her head.]
Y-yeah....! There's a lot of neat stuff in there, it's pretty tempting to just buy it, huh...?
But you can always earn more!

Re: THE WITCH'S TOWER
[She brings up the app and shows it to her.]
I have a quest I can give you that can get you started, if you'd like...but if you're hurt or exhausted, you should probably rest...
[You are being offered a quest. You can also Rest (restore HP to full). Do you want to:
> Accept Quest
> Rest
> NEITHER!!!!!!]
Re: THE WITCH'S TOWER
Perhaps you tell me of this quest while I rest?
Re: THE WITCH'S TOWER
[She leaves again and returns with....a pillow and a cup of green tea! She hands Sprezzatura the pillow and sets the tea on the table.]
Re: THE WITCH'S TOWER
Tell me, miss.
no subject
[Something about the softness of the couch, the warmth of the pillow, the toll of your journey so far or maybe just Nell's....very thorough explanation....whatever it is, you feel your eyes growing heavier....]
[And before you know it, they've closed.]
