HAWKS PALACE

[doublefried]

The process of entering the palace is... smooth. Painless.


You are falling, but it's not scary at the speed you're going. You drop through the pre-dawn sky like a feather, light and easy on a breeze, descending towards a bright and multicolored island in a sea of dark trees.

When you land, you are somewhere new.

Could you tell me about the general care routine for the animals? How do you handle things like cleaning up the enclosures when it's all so open?

[do they have a ring of keys or any pockets on them kit can spy while he tries to keep them talking]

The animal handler's responses very quickly turn into word salad. Like what they're saying makes absolutely no sense.

They do seem to have keys on them though and are definitely not like, enough of a person to notice them being stolen.

[it's fine if the words don't make sense let's just keep him talking, nods along and seems perfectly interested while he is reaching for those keys]

Keys... get!

He briefly experiences a memory. It's not intense or huge, just -

As part of a special promotion for a TV channel, you're asked about what your home looks like. You play coy at first, more amused than irritated at how much they insist to see it. When they won't give up you show them something- a clean, minimalist apartment, perfectly staged without a drop of personality.

After they leave, you leave as well. That may be an apartment in your name, but it's not a home. And you have other places to be than this.

- and then it's back to normal! On the key ring, along with the keys, is a red feather.

[..........huh whose memory was that

weird

welp let's go see if any of these keys open the locks, and also comparing this red feather with the phoenix feather he got earlier]

Re: ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS

[doublefried]

This one is plain red and doesn't glow, but is about the same size.

Also the keys can open the locks! Dare ye enter... the administrative building?

[he dares! reveal to him the horrors of office work!]

It's probably not up to park standards.
