[The bed in which Felix wakes is not the one he’s grown used to sleeping in. It’s smaller, for one. It eases his mind a little that Ashura is still next to him, though the two are curled up a little closer than normal in order to accommodate them both.
He sits up and tries to get a look around. The room, too, is different, though he cannot quite put a finger on what it reminds him of at first.
There is pale sunlight streaming through a window, lighting up the space. Bookshelves take up much of the walls, there is a desk covered with loose pieces of parchment, some of which spill out over the floor.
It’s looking outside that makes it snap into place. It isn’t Paradisa, but a rather quaint country landscape, edged in by a slow stone wall. He knows this view. It’s Arabel.
Except it isn’t. There are additions to this room that it never had. There are portraits on the walls. A young dark-haired, wide eyed girl, an ancient-looking man with a wispy beard, a fox-haired man carrying the reflection of this own face, a curly-haired middle aged man with a boyish face, and…Ashura.
He sits heavily back onto the bed and stares.]
((OOC:Okay, this is the deal, m'dears. Felix's headspace is like a labyrinth. He and Ashura are starting at the center, but everyone else will start on the outside. I will post subsections for each part of the maze in order. You can go as deep as you want on your own, though at some point you'll have to get past Malkar - And he IS dangerous. If anyone other than the rescue team wants to go beyond that, I'll post sections for that as well. Felix himself won't be coming back here once he escapes, but this post will assumed to be open for anyone who wants to explore for the duration of the plot. Be sure to indicate the day when you tag in.
