[IC] [Reverie] SEPTEMBER 2022 - PALACE GAME

[pyrighteous]

[ Welcome to the inside of Hunter's heart! Potential CWs include (but are not limited to):

- Torture
- Character death
- Gaslighting/manipulation/bad parenting
- Child abuse (onscreen and implied)
- Experimentation/vivisection
- Body horror

- Full Owl House Spoilers

Generally speaking the onscreen stuff will be kept PG-13 (this is a Disney cartoon after all!) but the implications may be exponentially more horrific (this is a Disney cartoon after all!!)

If at any point you are uncomfortable or need to me take extra care in glossing over ANY topic, please ping me right away in Discord. I am happy to do everything I can to keep this game fun for everyone! ]

[eudaimoniac]

This is your head, isn't it? Not Belos's. He's altering you.

[pyrighteous]

[ He grips his staff hard. Hesitates? Shakes his head, but it seems terribly uncertain. ]

He's - he's doing what's best for me. For both of us. He said ...

[ his voice falters a bit. ]

He said he'd forgive me. And take me back. If I do this for him.

[eudaimoniac]

I don't think that's true. People here care about you, Hunter, not him. Your life is your own.

And I don't think he's going to forgive you.

[pyrighteous]

He is, though! He promised! H-he needs me in here to look after everything!

[ The guard tilts his head at Adrien. ]

And fight intruders if I have to.

[eudaimoniac]

I'm not an intruder. I'm here to help you. I just want to help.

[pyrighteous]

...

[ The Guard looks over at the shivering guard in the corner. Back at Adrien. ]

I don't believe you. I killed you. Why would you help me?

[ He seems somewhat disconnected from the Hunter that Adrien last talked to in reality. Maybe some of these paintings will help? ]

[eudaimoniac]

Because I forgave you.

[he goes to the starry night painting]

Tell me about this one.

[pyrighteous]

You ...

[ He reels a bit, trying to remember that. Shakes his head a bit. ]

I - um - that's my favorite one. A little rebellious, sure, but. I was still studying magic!

[ The canvas shimmers a bit; Adrien could walk through it. ]

[eudaimoniac]

Do you want to come with me to see?

[pyrighteous]

I -

I guess I should keep an eye on you. Just in case you try something stupid. Like rescuing another COPY.

[ He glares at the boy in the corner. ]

[eudaimoniac]

[he addresses the copy]

Will you be all right if you stay here?

[pyrighteous]

[ The copy nods at that. Opens his mouth? Whoops, someone didn't develop proper vocal chords.

The guard makes a disgusted noise. ]

Titan, I'm having an existential crisis just looking at him.

[eudaimoniac]

He's just a child.

[sounding . . . beaten down. all right. let's go see that starry night, hunter]

[pyrighteous]

[ The guard follows Adrien somewhere else. ]
