[Rosh is dominating this musebox.

I mean.

Pyrope raised her head to 'look' up at the tower she'd reached with the three boys. The tang of the Glyph Energy was very sharp here, and she knew she'd be able to recognize the scent later on.

She wondered what it looked like. Probably big and intimidating. In her mind's eye, she saw something like a ziggurat rising out of the earth. How accurate was she? Probably not very, but the sharp tang in the air reminded her of some of the more magical areas back home.

Tapping her cane against the ground, she leaned back and beamed at her companions.]

Well, here we are! The Glyph Tower of the Residental District. It really smells quite sharp here, eh?

Comments

[needahand]

I will say! [Little Seth has his face buried in his pamphlet, his tongue is poking out slightly in concentration. Next to that tower, he looked even shorter.]

Says 'ere that there are switches and to keep them flipped?

[fireeyedjudgement]

That's what I heard! You'll need to describe them for me, boys. I'm just your backup.

[berettas]

Seems easy enough. Three towers, three switches to pop.

[arachknight]

...shall I head towards another tower on my own? It will save us much time.

[fireeyedjudgement]

Not on your own! [She waggles a finger at him.]

If Seth and Mlenar think they could handle this one on their own, we'll head over to the other districts, okay?

[berettas]

[ Will nods, falling silent again, while Mlenar grins and moves to put his arm over Seth's shoulder. ]

Don't worry about us! I can protect Seth just fine!

[fireeyedjudgement]

[She hasn't seen the way Seth clings to him, but she could feel how close he hung around him and draw the same conclusion. She gave a small nod.] All right then, Mlenar. I'll delegate this to you, shall I? I'm sure you'll do fine when you're not under my watchful eye anyway.

[Oh yes, she said it. She smiles, and then walks over to Will.]

Come on. Trade next, and then we can swing down by the Industrial one.

[arachknight]

[ Mlenar gives a small "heh" and gives the two of them a two-fingered salute.

Will straightens up and nods, ready to follow without question. ]

[fireeyedjudgement]

[Will.

Will.

You need to lead the way, Will.]

[arachknight]

[ BUT....... ]

[fireeyedjudgement]

[She.

Can't.

See.

Where.

To.

Go.

William.]

[arachknight]

[ BUT YOU'RE BLIND AND THUS HAVE CRAZY SENSES......

he'll realize this, however, and suddenly feel foolish, nervously, and slowly, moving over to her side and extending a hand to her. ]

Lady Pyrope, if it would be easier for you, and if you would not mind trusting a creature like myself- if you would like to ride on the back of my abdomen it might be an easier trip for you.

[fireeyedjudgement]

[She looks surprised.

... And then touched. A smile curves her lips.]

I've never ridden a spiderman before. [She smirks.] I bet you'll be better than the last man I did.

[Before Will has time to roll his eyes and groan (or blush and stutter or just Not Get It), she's tapping over to him and smoothing her hand along the hair on his abdomen. After a few touches, she hauls herself up, careful but spry.]

Where do you want me to put my hands?

WILL AND PYROPE MORE LIKE TEAM AWESOME.

[fireeyedjudgement]

Help me up the stairs, would you? [She's holding out her hand for him to take, gently probing at the steep steps with her cane.]

AMIRITE GUYS....GUYS?

[arachknight]

Of course. Please take your time.

[ gently holding onto her hand like the gentlespider he is. ]

YES.

[fireeyedjudgement]

[And she does so, smiling at him as they go.] Just give me some time to get used to them, then I'll be running up and down every morning before breakfast.

[arachknight]

How admirable.

[fireeyedjudgement]

[She laughs pleasantly, then raps at the door with her cane.]

Thank you.

[arachknight]

[ he'll carefully reach out from beside her to open the door, careful to lead her back so that it does not hit her. ]

[fireeyedjudgement]

You're such a gentleman, William. If only I'd had you when I first put on this blindfold!

[arachknight]

...?

You wear it to hinder your vision willingly?

[fireeyedjudgement]

The Priests of Samenda lose their eyes when they ascend, in reverence of the Lord of Judgement. I'm not any different in that regard... but when I first put the blindfold on, I still had my eyes. They wanted us to get used to it before we fully ascended.

I broke my arm falling down some stairs.

[She shakes her head at the memory and walks into the tower.]

[arachknight]

I see... you continue to impress me, Lady Pyrope. You are a devout woman.

[ when he hears she fell down the stairs however, he holds onto her a bit more tightly. ]

[fireeyedjudgement]

[She gives his arm a light squeeze.] I'm more sure-footed in my thirties, don't worry.

[arachknight]

I will still be careful.

[ into the room they go... ]
