[ then why don't you use antlers in all of your decorating! ]

And that's an aesthetic I've seen in plenty of places. I guess...the art museums I've been to just had a little more variety of subjects.

[ she notes the Phoenix one and then turns to walk in the other direction. usually museums start with early works, right? so if she goes down this corridor maybe there's an information desk with maps. a map would make this so much easier. ]

If you don't mind, I'm going to go look at more of your horny paintings.

[pyrighteous]

Please don't call them that.

[ There ... is indeed a little side table with maps! It calls out two main levels? Sssort of a third? It's on the second level but some things route into it weirdly.

The second floor seems to have much more to it. ]

[briarliar]

What would be a better term? I think horned paintings would imply the frame has horns and they don't...

[ going to grab one of those maps and look at it. curses, no obviously labeled "HUNTER IS HERE -->" room, but looking for the path to get to the second level then. ]

[pyrighteous]

[ ALAS, nothing so obvious. But the map does lead her to a set of stone steps that seem to go down.

Belos is suddenly next to her, reaching for her arm. ]

What do you think you're doing?

[briarliar]

[ keeping her voice very civil and neutral, and not like she's debating twisting an arm out of its socket for touching her. ]

Following the map to the next exhibit.

[pyrighteous]

There ARE no other exhibits. Where did you even get that map?

[ He moves to try and snatch the map away.]

[briarliar]

[ this time she doesn't let him touch it, pulling the map out of his reach and trying to twist her arm out of his grasp ]

Please, if you want to examine it, you can get one of your own. I found these near the corridor between the pictures of the antler masked person in front of a mountain and the antler mask person next to a...lump of some kind.

[pyrighteous]

[ Belos doesn't respond verbally. This time, he lets out a more unpleasant noise. Shifts into something more monstrous - and swings a sharpened limb down at her. ]

[briarliar]

[ DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH EFFORT IT TOOK NOT TO ESCALATE IMMEDIATELY INTO MURDER? AND THEN YOU RUIN IT?!

but fine, Yor was ready for that and leaps backward before the hit can slice into her. she fumbles a bit with her pocket, drawing out two palm sized stilettos and flicking them at the creature's eyes with a grace that wasn't apparent just a second earlier. if it hits, fantastic. but right now she's hoping that will buy her enough time to race into that corridor because wherever Belos doesn't want her to be, is probably where Hunter should be. and he's what matters.

p.s. they're dipped in cyanide. hope you share your nephew's allergies! ]

[pyrighteous]

[ OW THAT ABSOLUTELY HURT

Belos ROARS in pain and frustration as both the stilettos hit home! He begins to bang around the hallways as he struggles to pull them back out again. His movements tear great gaping holes in the wall - and below them, a faint light is visible.

Meanwhile, Yor has a choice: go down those stairs or run through one of the holes in the wall? ]

[briarliar]

[ After a brief moment of indecision, Yor is going to moth it and go for the light. If the corridor is below the light areas she's hoping she can get back to it with the help of gravity and a lot of punching walls. ]

[pyrighteous]

[ Looks like a one way trip! Fortunately, it does seem to be the right way forward...
