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.

[It is indeed different from the shades of Hamelins past, and perhaps even from Hamelin of the present -- their acquaintance isn't long at this point, but Jack isn't and can't be terrible at reading people.

He takes a moment to examine this new timbre, to let the words sink in like lyrics from a foreign land, for that is what they are. Perhaps he'll understand the full weight of them one day.]

I never have been particularly a bird tamer -- that honor goes to others of my acquaintance. But... yes. I am a dancer as much as I am a musician. If this is the dance required of me, then I will step to each of the melodies we create.

I do not mind it so much, a last suite.

But that is "me".

For I was not the only soul occupying this vessel, you see. Now, can you tell me what you've done with Oz, and his little accomplice? Surely this realm would not have neglected such a wealth of extra souls, and much stronger ones.

[ A hum at the question, both consideration and background accompaniment. ]

Do you believe in luck? Fate? Well either way it's 'bout the same here: only one entity per body was needed, the rest kinda just complicate things. So you were the winner! For the rest of 'em, they're here and not really "here".

If it matters, you can get them back at the end or leave 'em, whatever works for you.
