roofquest 20xx | Day 2 (Morning/Day) | Closed

[chromaticscale]

She's both rested and restless, a dangerous combination. After spending an unusual night in the garden ponds, so unlike what she's used to but comfortable none the less, she's ready to move on again. Singing quietly to herself, she sits on the rocks at the edge of the pond, waiting for her hair to dry some before setting off.

But... she doesn't really know where she's going, besides back into the rest of the house. She knows what her goal is: the roof. Ever since meeting that shiny fellow stuck in the tree, she has been growing more and more curious about the roof. Seeing as no punishments have been doled out (not that she knows of, anyhow) she decides that now is as good a time as any to try and find her way up there. Otherwise she might never get to see it.

She can't go it alone, though, nor would she want to. It just seems like the kind of thing to do with at least one other person, but since she doesn't have direct contact with anyone else, she has to make a detour before she can start her quest proper. She will scour the house all day and ask anyone she can find, even if it means asking every single being in the house. (And maybe even the house itself.)

One problem: it's hard trying not to shout and yet still get people's attention. Nothing that a tap on the should or arm won't fix, though!

[ ooc; feel free to also approach her earlier at her pond as well, if you'd like! Otherwise she will just be getting up in people's space everywhere and anywhere. I have many adventure friends now!! ]

He perks up visibly at this. Someone needs his help! He can be useful again. Wonderful! "No, no! It's all right. I'm glad you woke me up, actually." He gets to his feet, tail swishing enthusiastically and his ears perked. As he does, it becomes obvious that he hasn't had the whole "clothing" thing explained to him yet. Whoops. "What kind of help did you need?"

[chromaticscale]

Considering that her own "clothing" is more like a sheer curtain haphazardly draped about her, and that it really provides no protection or comfort, she's not too concerned herself. It doesn't even register, and she's too focused on her goal to really notice.

"I'm trying to get to the roof." Since she's not being a bother, it seems, she perks right up, her eyes bright with the prospect of adventure. "Do you know the way?"

[grotesqueobserver]

"The roof?" After a moment of thought his eyes light up in delight. "Yes! The roof! I mean...I don't know how to get there, but please, let me help you find it. If I can get to the roof I can watch the Master's land again!" He's practically giddy with excitement. "All right, let me think. We're probably in the best place to look for it, come to think of it." He gestures to the staircases all around them. "If we keep climbing we'll get there eventually." Logic!

[chromaticscale]

She nods in agreement. Yes, that seems altogether very logical to her as well. Keep climbing, and there has got to be a top. And it is nice to meet someone as excited as her!

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

[grotesqueobserver]

He laughs, her enthusiasm more than a little contagious. "Come on then." He stars up the large marble staircase, tail wagging like a puppy's. He keeps his eyes looking upward, studying the maze of landings and steps and the stained glass ceiling above them. They reach another landing, and he glances at his fellow explorer as they make their way to the next staircase.

"So um...I don't think I've seen you before today." Admittedly his memory of his time above the door is far from perfect. "But I've never been inside before. Or walked around like this." Beat. "It's kind of nice, actually. I didn't think I'd like seeing new things." He offers a self-conscious smile.

[chromaticscale]

It does happen sometimes. She's been known to infect others with her bubbliness. They never see it coming, they get caught in the crossfire, and suddenly they are smiling. She likes it better that way.

"I keep hearing that a lot, about never coming inside." She too looks around as they go, but she's not quite as astute, and keeps getting distracted by watching her feet, or her new partner. "I've never been outside, not that I remember anyway. So if I did, it was not very eventful!"

[grotesqueobserver]

He shakes his head. "If you have, I'd have seen you. I was the sentry." There's a note of pride in his voice, though it quickly fades. "But...maybe I just don't remember. I don't remember a lot of things. Maybe more than I thought." The last seems to be more thinking out loud than actual conversation, and he's silent for a long moment as they climb.

As they approach the top, however, something seems to catch his attention. He stares up at the glass ceiling, then points at an odd shadow, suddenly overcome with excitement. "Look! Can you see that! There's a ledge up there!"
