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.

Understandable. It's kind of shitty!

I think you two should talk, though. Maybe she can help you work some things out?

[doublefried]

"I'll, uh. We can talk, I guess."

[survivaltricks]

You guess?

[you do not seem enthused about this Hawks]

[doublefried]

"She's not a symbolic representation of GOOD things! No offense, senpai."

"None taken, I guess...?"

[survivaltricks]

[s-snorts]

Anyway, how aware are you of what's been going on out there during your nap?

[doublefried]

"Uh, I think the bird was body-sitting?"

[survivaltricks]

Something like that. Do you know how you wound up here in the first place. . .?

[doublefried]

"Here like, in this house here or..."

[survivaltricks]

Iiiiin this house?

[doublefried]

"It's basically the only place in here that's not too loud to sleep?"

[survivaltricks]

Okay, that's fair.

[. . .]

You can't retake control of your body while also staying here, can you?

[he doesn't want Hawks to have to go back :(]

[doublefried]

"Mutually exclusive, I'm afraid. But it's fine, normally I don't need sleep anyway."

[survivaltricks]

[FROWNS. . .]

Is there a way for us to make that amusement park. . . I don't know. Better?

For you?

[doublefried]

"You didn't like it?"

[survivaltricks]

Do you like it?

[doublefried]

"It's not for me."

[survivaltricks]

But this is your Palace. Your heart.

It should be a place for you.

[doublefried]

"I mean... that's kind of how it is with most people, but..."

[survivaltricks]

No buts.

[said firmly!!]

[doublefried]

"I like it if other people like it."

[survivaltricks]

[:/]

You should be a little more selfish. That's okay, you konw.

[doublefried]

"I'm getting told that a lot."

[survivaltricks]

[LIGHTLY]

Can't imagine why.

People are worried about you.

[doublefried]

"There's circumstances that mean I can't really get accustomed to being selfish, since. When I eventually go home, it'd be... bad? Pretty bad."

He stretches out though, sitting up straight.

You can't just. . . quit? When you get back home?
