Meetings

[begrimed]

Behind an ever traveling emerald green door (you'll find it when you really need it, but it never seems to be in the same place in the palace) lies a quaint office, often slightly ajar with a few notes of music beckoning guests inside.

In the center of the room lies an ornate cedar wood desk, cluttered but just short of messy, with various sheet music piled on top. The bookcases on each side are in a similar state, books shelved away neatly were it not for the lack of any semblance of alphabetization.

The boss of this domain can often be found with his feet up with no regard for decorum; a casual enough atmosphere for casual enough chats, surely.

Those who venture into the palace to seek out the emerald green door will find it's different than usual, sturdier, with a particularly bright sheen and emblazoned with an insignia.

The door is also always closed, though whether it's locked or not depends on when you visit.

Not from just anyone! Unless I feel like it, then maybe. [ He's pretty capricious, as Huaisang probably knows by now. ]

Don't think so. If you wanna bug anyone 'bout it, go talk to the fairy at the shop. Maybe she could put in a special order for you. [ Or he could just be trolling. ]

[biyishuangfei]

[ Too capricious as far as he was concerned. It was irritating. ]

Ah, right...I guess that's an option.

[ ... he's not going to believe that's going to work out for a second, because he's much more of a pessimist than he'd have some people believe. But, he'll still try...he promised to make those images of those who had...well, you know. ]

So. There's this giant peach that one of us saw hanging around, what was that all about? Did you just grow that yourself?

[ Asking about this sounded stupid but Huaisang had done even more stupid things. ]

[begrimed]

...how'd you see that? [ He looks legitimately surprised which is a rare occurrence. ]

[biyishuangfei]

Oh, Nageki did. 'How'...I don't really know how to explain, since I don't know really know why or how he would see anything like that. But he is a bird.

[ He's trying to wrap his head around this giant peach thing as it was. ]

Is it something anyone should be able to see if they went high up? And if not, what's so special or surprising about this giant peach?

[begrimed]

[ Hamelin hums, crossing his arms. ]

Have you ever heard of fruit that can only be seen by birds before? [ Huisang plz. ] Surprised he could see it, the forest is pretty thick.

[biyishuangfei]

[ Y'all can almost hear the crickets chirping as Huaisang seriously considered the question. ]

Well, no I haven't, but...

[ He'll just let the thought trail off as he thought a bit about Hamelin's other words. ]

It is? ...Did you grow that peach? [ ... ] Is it actually edible?

[begrimed]

If I let you into where it is, are you gonna try?

[ :D :D :D ]

[biyishuangfei]

[ ...oh my god Hamelin please why did you ask NHS on a week with bad impulse control. Somewhere in the back of his head he vaguely recalled Tenn's warning. But sadly that did not register because he wanted to try it now. ]

And if I said yes, I would? Because I would at least try.

[begrimed]

[ He cracks up laughing and for good reason, because NHS please. ]

I'd love to see it! But...not sure if I could get you back out again if I did? And it'd be awkward if you were just, stuck there.

[biyishuangfei]

[ How did he make this man laugh twice. What even (tho maybe most people would with the ridiculous answer he just gave.) ]

Yes, that would be...I'm surprised, though. It's a place that even you would have a hard time retrieving someone from?

[begrimed]

You seriously haven't tried to get out of here? [ This place he means, because at the borders are just thick forests. ]

[biyishuangfei]

No, because I don't know where I am?

[ He can be dumb, but he's not dumb enough to wander into places where he did not have a map or indication of where he might be going... ]

I'm still surprised you would have a hard time yourself, though. You seem so familiar with the place?

[begrimed]

I can get around just fine, it's you I'd be worried 'bout.

[biyishuangfei]

Oh, of course. Somehow I'm not surprised.

Though I figured you could use that flute of yours to make it easier.

[ It's been used to try to lead them places like to the execution place, right? ]

[begrimed]

[ He laughs. ]

In some ways this world has a mind of its own!

[biyishuangfei]

[ Hm...

...well, he'll just pout. ]

Right, of course.

Well! I'm done with you for now. You really should think about getting more painting supplies anywhere. I'm obviously not going to expect too much from the fairies, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

[ He'll point as his eyes and then point at Hamelin as he went to make his exit. ]

[begrimed]

If you find 'em next week, I expect to hear a thanks!

[ He'll let him leave besides but To Be Continued... ]
