thehometree | 001 ⚡ Amber (Action if outside)

[Hak is standing just outside of the tree with his hsu quandao across his shoulders. He's looking out at the mist and knows by now that there has been a varied response to the violin music that has played for the last few days. He's more than a little disturbed by what he is seeing so he's bringing it to the attention of everyone, if they haven't already seen.]

So, it looks like the storm is done. We can all make our way outside without fear of drowning via raindrops.

The creepy music has stopped too. [Yes, creepy music. He doesn't care what you have to say about it--it wasn't pleasant.] It looks like the musician wants to pay us all a visit though.

[Hak points his amber in the direction of the mist. It might be a little hard to see on the screen but there is definitely a person out there.]

Any volunteers want to go see what he wants? If he wants in, I vote no. The stench of rotting corpse is hard to get out of fabric.

[The amber turns back to Hak before he addresses everyone.]

I know several of us have discussed determining who here is a fighter. I think it might be a good time to get a head count in case that thing is hostile.

See? Of course I'm fine.

I think your taste has declined.

He had taste in the first place?

[ Not really, no. Sad head shake. ]

But can he afford to lose more...?

[YOU GUYS]

How cruel! Can't you see I'm lamenting over the fact that we two are likely to never meet? Surely he would think the same of my beautiful self; we could make beautiful music together! I can only hope to see him in my dreams!

Do you want some help falling asleep? White Snake said he'd do the honors.

[What is with you...]

All I see is a disgusting corpse. I don't know what you think is out there.

[ Look, even Hak and Kija agree about something for once. Jae-Ha, this is serious. ]

Stop being duped!

[ Reaching out, he grabs hold of Jae-Ha's shoulders and gives him a shake. ]

Can you not clearly see!? [ He throws an arm out to point at the violinist. ] Even Hak sees a corpse!

[He clutches at Kija's arm, not that it'll do much.]

I don't! [Honest!] He looks like the most beautiful, handsome man I've ever seen! And that's saying something; I've seen so very many.

[SHAKEN] A-Ah, no. No, I don't need to be knocked out again; wasn't the Nadai enough? I couldn't bear losing any time from being able to watch and listen to what we in the Tree have been graced with. If you two don't wish to lay eyes upon him as I do, then you should simply go back inside!

Where's that yarn we bought? Maybe we should tie him up?

[You get into trouble too often. Stop doing stupid things.]

There is some in the room. I can go fetch it.

[ BFF's forever. Your little bro and the evil dark dragon are looking out for you. ]

[BACKING AWAY]

C-Come on, guys. I'm just being myself, right? You just said so! It's just me!

[What it comes down to is this...]

You're no good.

And something's wrong with your head.

[ Don't give them any trouble ]

[YOU GUYS ARE NO FUN]

I don't see how any of this should bother you!

Because if something happens to you, the princess will hold us responsible.

[Really, that's the only reason.]

And the two of us are as good as brothers. And all of us are companions.

[ Look, something nice for once? ]

We cannot just sit aside if things are not right.

HOW CAN SOMETHING GO WRONG IN JUST LISTENING TO BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!?

[Can he punch him in the head now? Please? Someone needs a nap.]

Because you're being delusional and hearing things right now.

It's a trap.

[ Just. Knocking him hard in the back of the head. Sorry, Jae-Ha. Hopefully a hard hit is enough to knock him out, it would seem sort of cruel to have to hit him again... ]

That wasn't too hard, was it?

[Aaaaaaannd he's down for the count. And will likely have a killer headache when he wakes. SCREW YOU GUYS, TOO.]

[Just...looks at the crumpled form of Jae-Ha with no distinguishable emotion on his face one way or the other.]

I admit the thought crossed my mind... [But you actually did it.]

I'll go see if there is any of that yarn we got available.
