[ The sky and the world painted in black and white, where that spreading darkness leads is what looks like a very large pointed tower-like building. Stars glittering all around that darkness like small beacons of light.
Siffrin doesn't look that way, dipping their head instead to peer at a small completey gray and white little round bird that hops on the grass near them. It goes "piou piou!" ]
...I know.
[ It's not said bitterly or anything, just quiet. Resigned. As if already used to doing just that. ]
[ This is so funny and cute... unfortunately something does happen with that physical contact.
As distracted as they are, Siffrin isn't paying close attention, letting that silence fills and it's not necessary a bad silence. They're generally quiet, after all. But the second their hand gets touched they flinch away with a sudden jump and surprised yelp.
[ That kind of response is... really familiar. Too familiar. Leaving an ache in their chest, that stings and cuts in deep and they could drop it, probably should.
But they watch his hands, and their own clenches a little at their side. Before they even realize it, they.. hold their hand out? Offer? Request? Who's to say. ]
[ Hey, this time Siffrin doesn't weirdly jump like ten feet in the air! They tense a little but it's still that blip of surprise, but a small hand squeeze. Yippee..! Getting... there...
Erm. Looks at the rest of the town, with two more monotone birds piou piou-ing nearby. Flocks of a feather something something. ]
Did you want to look around the town? There shouldn't be any danger of being frozen in time, I think.
No, it should be safe! Not like we're actually in Dormont, so.
[ Gestures to the direction of the darkened sky where it looks like it's night in that area, with the impending weird pointy large building far in that distance. ]
Doesn't look like it's spreading from the House any more than what it has, and even if it was this place is just.. imagined from our thoughts? We'll be fine.
[ It definitely doesn't look like any of the normal homes here. Not when it looks like That. ] That's the House, it's where the King has been residing the past few months slowly freezing everything in time.
[ Unless Uruha is talking about the unusual weird gathering of weird rounded statues right in front of them. ]
[ A small laugh. Yeah the situation is grim but it's a little funny to hear him say that. ]
Mm, that's putting it nicely. [ King deserves much more harsher words than jerk. ] Before that though, that was one of the many Houses that the House of Change usually run things. But ever since he took over, everyone in there is frozen and the place is running with Sadnesses.
Sadnesses are... physical manifestations of intense negative emotions. Born from those emotions of people. They've always sorta existed but.. they appear more in dire situations? [ You know like.. war. Or something like the country being frozen in time. ] They attack everything they see so, fighting them off is the only way to deal with them.
[ A head tilt, quiet for a moment to let it sit, looking over at the House. ] House of Change is.... Mmm..... Oh! It's primarily a place of worship for the Change belief.
[ Yeah, but that's valid, as someone that also thinks that Vaugarde is so weird. ]
Mmm.. my friends would probably explain it better, as ones that follow said belief but. I do remember how they explained it. [ Which Siffrin takes a moment to think, peering at the many rounded orb looking people statues. ] It's a religion practiced in most of Vaugarde whose - ideals are about change in both its practitioners and in the world as a whole.
It encourages its practitioners to constantly change things such as their appearances, personalities, interests, and aspects of their life. I know it welcomes anyone, no matter where you're from, allowing anyone to join at any time. [ A very carefree welcoming religion, really. Accepting those that follow other beliefs too. Raises a gloved hand to point at the statues. A large towering one, smaller sized and very tiny ones. The tiny ones being hand sized and are doing a lil dance jiggy. ] That there is their Change god.
[ Yeah, they're doing a little wiggle side to side dance! i'd clip a recording but i'm lazy. It's a white person jingle. ]
Yeah. [ Their voice is mostly neutral but... there's a cold look in their eye. ..Takes a breath in, and out. ] My group was on the way to try and stop him before I ended up here.
That's the hope, yeah. We're the only ones that will be able to do it so.
[ It's all on them! But hmm... Looks around, where should they go? There's a bit to see in this lovely black and white world. Maybe only within the small village but... oh! ] Would you like to see the Favor Tree?
[ Looking inwards towards the village... Siffrin will point to the left! My ass sucks at east and west! Wait nvm wiki says it's to the West YIPPEE. ]
A Favor Tree is just the biggest tree in any given area, according to the House of Change. [ A shrug. They don't quite get it themselves but oh well. ] They say the tree is capable of granting wishes.
[ Realizes I think they're still holding hands. Leads along by the hand holdys. ]

S-Sorry, I - [ It feels like no matter what, it'll happen every blinding time. ] I'm not.. used to touch, so...
[ Which is such a conflict when every part of him is now devastated he messed it up because of that yearning for touch. Way to go, Siffrin! ]

N... No, I shouldn't have that done that without permission. Sorry.
