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.

She stretches out her arms and shoulders. She's been pretty cramped up in here.

"Sure! Why not?"

[rootsforyou]

[steps aside to let her out, then]

Might I get your name, as well? Though it's belated, I'm Jiang Yanli.

[doublefried]

"... Kaina Tsutsumi."

[rootsforyou]

I'm a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Madam Tsutsumi. Please wait a moment while I find a path for us.

[she's going to step back so that miss Kaina Tsutsumi can get out of her cell and stretch, and go inspect the exits that are...blocked with cell bars. are they illusions at all, or super solid?]

[doublefried]

They seem less like cell bars and more like the thinner bars of a birdcage! Just, birdcage upon birdcage upon birdcage.

"Do you want to get through there?"

[rootsforyou]

Mm...

[thinks about it, and nods as she inspects the bird cage bars with a furrow in her brow]

Yes. It says this is the exit, so that means it's the way we want to go, right? But I'll need to think of a way to break these bars first.

[doublefried]

"I can help with that. Stand back a little?"

[rootsforyou]

Oh! Please don't hurt yourself.

[she does obligingly stand back though]

[doublefried]

"Oh, I won't."

She SNAPS HER FOREARM BACK TO HER SHOULDER AND A GUN COMES OUT OF HER ARM. with her other hand she pulls a small pinch of hair off her head and forms it into a bullet???

Then she SHOOTS IT INTO THE WALL AND IT EXPLODES.

[rootsforyou]

[WHAT IS UP WITH QUIRKS]

Oh, how impressive.

[did it work, are the bars gone]

[doublefried]

They're not ALL gone, but there's enough of a gap that they could squeeze through with mild scraping!

[rootsforyou]

You're quite skilled, Madam Tsutsumi!

[she's going to squeeze through the opening first so that she can help miss Tsutsumi get through without getting scraped up as much. helping!!]

[doublefried]

The two of them get through to open air!
