[Wherever you happened to be before? You're not there anymore.

The four of you have arrived somewhere else. It's certainly not in the city you've all been trapped in for the past week. This place is entirely too well kept to be mistaken for that. The smell of sweets and sugar is in the air from the moment you get transported here. You're on the counter with a giant castle right in front of you.

Or, to be more accurate, everyone has been shrunken down so this castle is giant to them. To the left, to the right, behind you, and behind the castle, there are shelves and shelves of sweets. This seems to be a candy shop, and this simply a candy castle.

If anyone looks up far enough, all the little modeled people are right there, well crafted and lovingly made. Does one of them look a little bit familiar?

They can easily start walking towards and into the castle, but if they try to leave the counter, they're going to loop right back around to where they started. Weird.

What will you do?]

[syndromed]

[ you would think that the 11 year old would be the first one to get excited about being surrounded by sweets in a pretty princess castle.

but her tiny little body is full of so much confusion and anger that it's palpable in the air. she's just vibrating with contempt, here. ]

Where is this?

[ calm down, small child ]

[sponsoredby]

[ he's looking around the place in thought, but sees rika looking really tense. finley paces a little nearby in her lion form while he goes to place a hand on her head. ]

We'll probably have to look around to find out.

[linearcrash]

This place is making me hungry, yo.

[ Looking around. ]

Hey, doesn't that look like that guy who likes feeding people up there?

[cranelike]

(As calm as ever, even if he does look... uncertain. He's looking around. His vision might suck but his nose sure works!!)

Maybe you can eat our way out.

(A head tilt for Nine though!!)

Which one? Ah.... Nero-kun!

[perfectdistance]

[Also your daemons are here and shrunken down just like the rest of you, I'm establishing that for everybody because I forgot to earlier.

Way up there on the roof! There's Nero.

And some other guys, but who cares about them?]

[syndromed]

[ okay. after having taken her moment to be angry, rika is ready to move on. so she brightens right up! ]

Since the little Nero is the only thing we recognize, should we try to get up there?

[sponsoredby]

[ he nods to her question, and just glances in nine's direction. he might stop him if he tries to shove random things in his mouth, but maybe not. this is the worst adult to bring along for babysitting. ]

That's probably the best idea. That way we can possibly get some answers.

[linearcrash]

[ there are adults here? ]

Maybe we can grab a snack before climbing up there, yo.

[ Time to go to the edge of the counter. ]

That guy can wait a bit longer.

[ Time to jump if no one stops him ]

[cranelike]

Eh? Aren't we up high?

(Nine?)

If we can find Nero-kun, he'll make us something delicious. (But he looks around! His eyesight admittedly isn't very good but--) It's strange.

He isn't here and yet... (There's the doll and this bakery? Candy shop??) If he's here, we should find him. He might be alone.

(He agrees they should go to the Nero doll.)

[perfectdistance]

[Nine can attempt to leave the counter, but the second he attempts it, he will end up right back... on the counter! Looks like there's no leaving just yet!

It looks like you have agreed to go onto the roof. How are you going to get up to the roof?

Will you look at any of the models that are on the floor of the castle?]

[syndromed]

Mii? I don't think we'll find the real Nero. Just the little Nero.

[ and then she picks up tsuru and yeets him to the top of the castle.

just kidding. anyway, rika is more of a follower than a leader, so while she waits for someone else to figure out their ascension, she wanders over to look at the model closest to her - the one with grey hair! ]

But I hope we get something sweet to eat, anyway.

[sponsoredby]

Maybe we can find out inside.

[ he jerks his thumb in the direction of the front of the castle ]

Why don't we get a bit closer to check the doors.

1/2

[linearcrash]

[ He tries hopping down.

Only to reappear back on the counter. ]

Huh?! What the hell?!

[linearcrash]

[ Time to jump down again. Again, he's back where they started. ]

Hey! Why won't you let me down, huh??? You can't keep making me pop up here forever.

[ Time to try try again. ]

1/2

[cranelike]

(Glances at Rika and Kotetsu

Glances at Nine.)

[cranelike]

(He'd love to help Rika and Kotetsu check out the models and castle but right now, he's going to just




Push Nine of the ledge again.)

[perfectdistance]

[So is anybody going to stop this or...?]

[syndromed]

[ no. ]

[sponsoredby]

[ he's going to turn around and look at them and wonders. ]

What's it feel like?

[ is nine gonna get sick like someone riding a ride too many times? ]

[linearcrash]

[ He's pushed and he's going to grab Tsurururururu to drag him down with him. ]

Oh hell no! You're coming with me, you bitch.

[cranelike]

(STOP LET HIM GO... he'll let out a surprised squawk and go down with him. As soon as theyre back on the table though, he'll try to get away? He has throwing trauma... he doesn't want to get thrown by anyone else.)

Are you finished? Shall we explore the castle now? Rika-chan is working so hard!

(Look at her checking out that silver haired model... Rika-chan is perfect.)

[perfectdistance]

[Look at this silver haired model! He smells... Also like sugar. Maybe chocolate? Perhaps modeling fondant.

Perhaps he should be a snack.]

[syndromed]

[ she is just letting them have their fight. it's fine. ]

It smells like these are made of chocolate. So if we get really hungry, we could eat them! Nipah!

[sponsoredby]

Maybe we should wait on that.

[ but he does notice the quick change in tsurumaru and keeps an eye on it if nine doesn't drop it. ]

But I wonder if everything here is candy.
