He DOESN'T jump, but he's so deliberate about not jumping you can kind of tell you got him. The bird puffs up to twice its size in a teeny threat display.

"Cute. What do you want?"

That's what I wanna fucking know.

"You want to know what you want? I feel like that's more of a question for a priest."

Re: [ STONE ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

All I fucking know is that I'm stuck in Jackson Umbra's mind or some shit and there are four paths, from which we need to get four different pieces of shit to unlock a gate so we can fucking leave. You are at the end of one of the paths.

He drops the disguise so that he can stare at you appropriately.

"That's a hell of a series of words you just dropped on me."

Re: [ STONE ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

And you fucking understood them all, right?

Re: [ STONE ]

[socialcapital]

"I got the gist of it."

Re: [ STONE ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Glad we're on the same fucking page. So what do you have for me?

Re: [ STONE ]

[socialcapital]

He makes a face, like he's kind of annoyed you made him break kayfabe, then sighs and looks around the little booth for tokens or whatever.

"Fair warning, this strategy won't work with any other part, I got separated out earlier, they didn't."

[cocking his head, bird-like]

Noted.

Re: [ STONE ]

[socialcapital]

Not finding anything he finds sufficiently symbolic, he just removes an earring and holds it out. It's probably magic. It's clearly Orichalcum at the very least.

"Anyway, that should do."

[bro what the fuck

he looks skeptical but he'll take it]

Thanks.

"It's going to make its way back to me anyway, it's fine."

You got an earring!

[well............time to leave the riot(?) behind and find the stone path back to the garden party]

Re: [ STONE ]

[socialcapital]

As he goes, Firuz is heading the other way to try to... clean up whatever mess is now going on back there. It's fine.

The garden party is as it always was, the sun doesn't seem to have moved at all.

[applies earring to gate???]

Re: [ STONE ]

[socialcapital]

It fits into one of the four indentations on the lock! It glows faintly.

Re: [ STONE ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[well...............let's try the dirt path now]

Re: [ STONE ]

The adventure continues...
