week 6

[arsholes]

[On Sunday morning, there is a small gift waiting for the early risers in the tower: a dull lead key (don't lick it), dangling from a length of twine tied to the wooden beam across the ceiling at the cross section of the four dorms. Upon further inspection it has a particular symbol on the back half and a note that reads "Good job. Here's your reward". The note is signed Lord H. The key goes to sixth floor, where there is the same symbol etched above the keyhole on the lock.

The new floor is even more grand than the previous ballroom, a full theatre for their enjoyment. But it doesn't take away the burning sting of certain people who would have loved to see it.]

Comments

[predecir]

...it's my nephew's.

[Bruno reaches out to take it, eyes still wide. His belongings showing up, that's one thing. But this, what does this mean?]

Antonio. He just turned five.

[replacementshield]

[ Felix definitely lets him take the plush. ]

Really? ... Maybe Garfield took it because it's still associated with you, because of family or something.

[ Then again he has really no clue. ]

[predecir]

He let me hold it, the last time I saw him. I was doing my first vision in ten years, and I was...nervous.

[Bruno turns the plush over in his hands, inspecting it for damage and finding none. It's unnerving, though - something belonging to one of the kids turning up here.]

That was the only time I ever talked to him, actually. He's five, I was long gone before he was born.

[replacementshield]

...It's well made, so it's not like it was a bad choice.

[ Also because it's a cat. Who isn't going to like a cat plush? ]

Long gone? Did you just end up moving away?

[predecir]

No, that was when I was living in the walls.

[He told everybody during Secret Sharing Time, so Bruno figures this is just a thing folks know now?]

Mirabel made it! I'm pretty sure, anyway, this looks like her work. But I miss out on a lot of stuff, on account of the wall thing.

[replacementshield]

[ He at least recalls that, despite it being awhile. ]

A family member who is a seamstress, then.

[ Clearly a professional. ]

...I still don't understand how someone is able to live in the walls for ten years.

[predecir]

Eh, well, it's a big family. Lots of people in and out, easy to dismiss it if little things go missing here and there. And I'm pretty good at...disappearing.

[evan hansen soundtrack 20 hours unskippable]

Used to spend days up in my tower sometimes.

[replacementshield]

I guess that explains why you seem so accustomed to being in those walls.

[ Like about all those weeks back, anyway. ]

...Tower? There was something like that deep inside of the walls?

[predecir]

Oh - ha, no, that was where I lived before that. The house is magic - it's got as many rooms as it needs. Used to be, the door to my tower was right next to Julieta and Pepa's rooms...but it migrated over the years. Pretty out-of-the-way by the time I left, you wouldn't have even known it was there.

[Bruno is...not unaware of the symbolism, but he’s not gonna call it out either.]

And - god, the stairs!

[replacementshield]

...It sounds like you could get easily lost in a house like that.

[ At least that's what he thinks, anyway. As for the door migrating, he does wonder if it's purposeful, but... ]

What about the stairs?

[predecir]

So many stairs in that tower! It didn't start out that way, but over time...it just got to be way too hard. I'd stay up there most of the time, and no one else...ever really came up.

[replacementshield]

Because they didn't know it exists? Just you?

[predecir]

No, there were just a lot of stairs.

[replacementshield]

As a result of the house, then.

What exactly made the house so magical in the first place?

[predecir]

It was made by the miracle. I mean, I think she's a real house now - spackle works just fine for fixing her up, at least for a little while. But yeah, she was always like that.

[replacementshield]

I'm not sure how this miracle happened either, but there haven't been any houses in Fodlan like what you've described.

[predecir]

Well, no. There's not really any like it in my world except Casita. That's why it's a miracle, I guess.
