[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.]

Is everything okay?
no subject
[Adjusts glasses, bright smile... the light that had completely died from her eyes returning.]
I'll go save Nessa. Um... Is it okay to rely on you again if I meet that woman?
Or is there some special trick that weakens her, like a mini-quest that knocks her power level down?
no subject
For now, just try to find me as soon as possible.
no subject
[she'll walk off toward the temple]
no subject
[The temple is one wide-open room, split by a large curtain in the middle. The side of the temple nearer to the door is the common area, where meals and gatherings are had. A couple wide wooden tables sit before a stone altar at the center of the room, in front of the curtain.]
[The altar where, at one time, the Voidheart rested.]
[There's a woman there, dressed in black robes. Long hair flows down her back - her hair is somehow both black and white. She's staring at the altar until she hears you come in. She turns her head towards you, and her eyes are just....black. Pure black.]
...
One of the intruders.
One of the children of Typhon, are you not?
no subject
I'm... I'm looking for the truth.
Reaching out to it, if you will.

And possibly Nessa?
[Tsumugi used direct question?]
no subject
Esmau is my disciple. Everything she does and did, she did for me. For our family. Even now, when reduced to a memory, she's dedicated herself solely to reclaiming our Heart from Nessa and Lyra, who stole it and used it to destroy their own family.
She attacks you because you came here to help Nessa perpetuate her betrayal. If you wish it to stop, leave.
no subject
Lyra is another sister?
...I'm feeling plain mad and hurt by Nessa at the moment, but I won't abandon her. She's a good person, if snarky.
no subject
If you continue trying to help her, it will end for you as it did for many others.
She survives at the cost of the lives of those that care for her. It's what she's done for her entire life. She'll do it to you eventually, as well.

Why did you call me a child of Typhon? I'm just a cosplayer.
no subject
Why do you think you found yourself trapped on the edge of dream and reality? Where do you think the being inside you came from? Sprung from the ether, fully-formed?
You were chosen to be its host. To vanish. And leave your flesh for it to call its own. The God of Monsters needed a safe place for its child, and it chose you.
I was not speaking to you. I was speaking to the one that will be that body's true owner.

You're just like my daughter, Lyra. And Nessa.
