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.
[ hm... interesting. percy just has a look at the darkened cornered of the room and This Is Fine, really. he moves forward without hesitating all that much, peering at one of the candles for a pensive moment before he knocks gently on one of the walls: ]
[ the candle seems to be simply a candle! though the flame is pink. cute? possibly.
nothing much happens for a moment - when he knocks against the wall, it just feels like. well. paper. but after a beat of silence, something above him seems to start moving, the sound of slithering scales.]
Ah. Another visitor.
[ The voice seems to be coming from nowhere in particular. ]
only to find a little apartment! it's a studio apartment, one room, with a bathroom and a tiny kitchen. the main room is just a couch and a TV, with plain white walls and plain grey carpet. this'd be boring if it weren't for the various posters and trinkets plastered around the room. the posters are blurred out, but they're colorful and eyecatching anyway.
today the TV is on, and there's a blob of pixelated static sitting on the couch with a controller in its hands. literally, it's just a blob with two little hands sticking out of it. they are playing sm*sh bros.
when percy walks in, they slink up, slinky-like, to look over the back of the couch. and wave!! oh shit waddup!!]
[ the fck is a sm*sh bros. jk but more importantly, it's a staticky blob with? little hands? perfect, that's who he's looking for! as the shape shifts to look over at him, he gives a wave back as he approaches the back of the couch. he does take a scan around the room, at the colorful blurry posters and various trinkets.
it's charming, he smiles just a bit. ]
I'm not disturbing your... [ he waves a hand at the? sm*sh bros? ] Am I?
[ he'll swing by shale's archway not long after that, a couple of books tucked under his arm as he heads in and peers around to look for the familiar statue. ]
[once percy goes looking for the jade archway, it will appear before him. stepping through feels like stepping into a soothing landscape painting. the atmosphere goes grey, but rather than the monochrome of other areas, it's the mist of morning fog, still hanging low in the air. his feet touch down onto dirt and grass. he is standing in a quaint country garden. there are tall, dark green trees all around and rolling hills far away, but in the immediate vicinity is a flat, empty area with a few fenced in garden patches. the fenced in area in front of you looks to be a tidy herb and vegetable garden patch. there's a small shed towards the back of the garden, and gardening tools are scattered about.
in the distance he can see a pond and across the pond, far away, a small cottage with smoke billowing from the chimney. there are a few stone statues scattered about the garden, but after a moment, you notice that one of them in particular is busying themselves over a small table where a teapot and two teacups are set out.]
right makes sense thats why we gave them to u but idk last night was rly busy im sure hes fine and hell show up later and answer ur messages doesnt seem like the type to leave u hanging
[ AND NOW HE HAS SO MANY TRUST ISSUES WITH THIS PLACE!!!! WHEN PPL START TURNING INTO MONSTER TRUCKS AND RAINING FROM THE SKY COVERED IN CAKE WHILE BEING NEARLY DEAD??? ]
percy is actually at one of the worktables with a few sheets of drafting paper just sort of idly tossing around ideas here and there. when steel arrives, he does look up and offers them a nod. ]
Good to see you again.
[ he sits up a little straighter now, adjusting his glasses just a bit. ]
I'm rather excited at the prospect of working on something with you... this workshop has rather... pleasant timing.

Maybe there's a problem with the phones?
no subject
Jiuqing and I have been looking for him, to see if he's simply hiding out in a tree or some such, but.
I know perhaps I shouldn't worry.
But that's just what I do, I guess.
no subject
I'll keep an eye out, too.
