The crash and tinkle of shattered glass would be heard as Yatamaru jumped into the mirror under the loud scream of Dekobou's voice. For a moment, the world would turn black. Perhaps out of reflexive fear it would have been all but a sick prank, perhaps because a moment of magic would occur. Whichever the case, Yatamaru would find himself tumbling into the ground, glass shattering all over the place around him. His skin would have a couple of light wound from the glass that cut him but other than that he would be remarkably unharmed.[lb2] What he'd see when he opened his eyes, however, would be nothing he could gave imagined. The two of them had ended in a long dining room. A single table easily stretching 10m wide took up most of the space, dozens of chairs placed around it. The table had been decorated with a high quality, royally looking tablecloth of purple and gold trimming, carrying a flower pot and a variety of utensils that would hint at dinner being served. Porcelain cups, silver plates. The sort of riches one would only find in the home of a noble, and even then some. The walls reached up high, the middle part decorated with a massive tapestry depicting a idyllic scenery. The floor was made of large marble tiles of ivory colour, and behind them a single broken window. No mirror. No bandits. Just...[lb2] "Home...", Dekobou would say, voice strangely quivering. [lb2] "Sorry about that last call... And thanks for trusting me. I kinda panicked so I thought this was the best way to get you out of that situation. You're kinda cool... Heh. I bet you have a lot of que-" "Eeeey, it's Dekobou!"[lb] "Dekobou?"[lb] "Yeah, look!"[lb] "Is that really him?"[lb] "Nah, that can't be him. He didn't look so... squared before."[lb] "Puh-lease. That spirit couldn't survive two hours without a flask!"[lb2] A cacophony of voices would burst through the dining room, each of them talking through each other with little regard for what the human and the spirit had to say as they argued about the question if this was Dekobou or not. For a full minute it would go on, the newly arrived members having no time to throw in their words until a heavy voice reverberated through the room. As the giant tapestry opened its huge eye, the voices dimmed to bare hushes.[lb2] "You lot are so rude. We have a guest, can't you see?"[lb2] As if only now noticing Yatamaru, the voices rose in amazement at the, frankly, not very spirit-looking being. Perhaps it was the fact he was more puppet than human that had thrown them off but now that the other spirits thought about it... Yeah, he didn't really belong here, did he?[lb2] "Hi guys... and girls... This is Yatamaru. He's from the other side. Not a spirit, but one I'd call a friend nonetheless."[lb] "Welcome Yatamaru. Please take a seat, have a bite. If you've been on an adventure with Dekobou you must be exhausted."[lb] "H-hey! I'm not that careless. Right?!"[lb2] Snickering would be the answer. If Yatamaru would take the offer of tapestry spirit, a single chair would move back to invite him, a candelabra would hop closer to provide light all the while. As a multitude of eyes coming from the different item spirits all transfixed on the visitor, one of the silver plates carrying a dish of hearty cooked chicken, potatoes and vegetables would swivel towards him before opening it's 'mouth' agape. It's eyes would observe the visitor to make sure it didn't accidentally trap his hand when preserving the rest of the food again. Unfortunately, nature of the pranksters in this realm, Yatamaru would quickly realise that the food was fake - laughter would ensue if he'd discover that too late, already chewing on what he would have believed to be a real meal.[lb2] "Forgive them. We aren't too used to visitors here. Most get lost in the labyrinth of corridors.", the tapestry spoke. [lb] "Yeah, so... As I wanted to say before everyone started to speak. You probably have a lot of questions, so now that the whole situation quieted down... Do you have any?"[lb2] The room would be waiting quietly. Expectingly. |
