[ He hasn't been here before, so as he steps through the quartz arch, he will find himself standing in a traditional Japanese-style room - tatami mats on the floor, and sliding paper doors on every side. there are no windows, or even decorations on the walls. it's dim in here, lit only by low candles and shadows crawling out of every corner. it's very, very silent.
Steel is sitting, much like they were at trial, on a cushion in the middle of the floor. The pink suit is gone, and it's only a shadowy, humanoid figure now. ]
[ as he steps through the quartz arch, he will find himself standing in the same traditional Japanese-style room - tatami mats on the floor, and sliding paper doors on every side. It's still dark in here, but ... not quite as dark as it was. there's a window this time, large and circular, showing a far-reaching zen garden. There's endless, perfect patterns drawn into the sand and stretching all the way to the horizon, and the sky is an equally endless, swirling mist. But hey, at least there's an outside?
Steel is seated at a low table in the middle of the room, with a small tea set in front of them. they aren't drink anything, but they do look up when he walks in. Mostly humanoid today, still shadowy and somewhat formless, but the hairpin is still in place. ]
You all really must start taking your shoes off ... you'll dirty the flooring.
[danny will make an attempt to visit riff's archway, but he will be stopped by a sign on what appears to be their front door.]
@ Music Store
[should he head that way, he'll find riff sitting on the ground with a lapful of vinyls, flipping through them curiously and seemingly sorting them into piles.]
sure i mean you can go wherever i'm not gonna like lock you into our apartment or anything i just figured i'd offer since i dunno maybe you'd wanna stay in the apartment of your color
haha ya sure were both here come thru the arch dont get lost look for the blue door if things get weird
[that's. that's literally the only warning danny gets.
when he enters the archway, he finds himself in what looks like a city. actually he ends up in what looks like the center of a city, a large tower looming over him, several stories high and windows on the side. it's evening here, neon lights starting to flicker on. there are people here, no faces and wearing almost weirdly bright, neon colors walking past him. there's a hint of music playing from somewhere, something upbeat and distinctively like rock, and there are shops along the sidewalk, two streets veering off to the north. there's signs and posters and art that're blurry to his eyes, and over the music he'll occasionally hear the sound of people speaking. their words are muffled, however. the advertisements are big and everywhere, even if he can't grasp what they might be for. every now and then, a car will pass by, too.
there are crosswalks on the ground, greyish white in color and seemingly petering out in different directions. but as he peers at the tall towering building with blurry numbers on the front of it, he'll see a staircase to the right. at the top of those stairs is a blue door.
he can explore the city if he wants, or he can head for that blue door.]
[ danny goes to cross the street and is immediately run over by a car, killing him instantly.
okay no, but he does kind of gape at all the chaos around him for several moments, just kind of stumbling around trying to take it all in. It takes him a few minutes to gather his wits enough to think about trying to actually navigate this place, and another few minutes to remember what he was looking for when he stumbles upon it, at the top of the stairs.
He opens the door and flings himself through, looking frenzied. ]
[shale's archway is now a grove surrounded with tall, tall trees, whose canopies hang overhead, shrouding the place in a greenish-gray mist. a path leads towards the garden area, the gazebo, down the path is a very cozy looking cottage, made of stone and shaped with a steeple. colorful lanterns light up the path approaching the cottage, giving off a cozy glow.
the garden itself is quite different than it was before. there are a few separate patches - vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruit bushes, including an area of flowers and bushes protected by the canopy where glittering colorful butterflies flutter about. towards the back of the garden is an orchard of fruit-bearing trees. a hammock is strung between two blossoming trees. there is also a garden shed and a beetle habitat set up near the orchard.
the gazebo is next to a small pond, shaded by the canopy. lights also guide your way down the path to it. it is quite lovely, with a table meant for tea parties in the center of it, protected by a parasol, and a blanket spread out for picnics nearby. near the gazebo is a particularly tall tree, strung with lights from the branches, at the base of which is a small shrine with a crook and wreath symbol.
shale is waiting near the shrine, but when the archway opens, turns to look.]
[today, danny is going to have to dash through a bit of rain to get to riff's apartment, but at least the door's unlocked. riff himself is on the couch with tora, watching something or other. hearing footsteps though he sits up a little to glance at the door over the back of said-couch.]
