The first thing you hear is the sound of rain faintly hitting the exterior of the house. The soft pitter-patter is almost soothing, in a way, but it’s quickly followed up by rumbling thunder in the distance. You open your eyes, and for a second all you see is a flash of light--at first it seems like it’s lightning, but then you see something. A vision of a man dressed in rags, hunched over, waves of demonic power rolling over him. He howls, and something terrible starts to grow out of him: the bloody roots of a massive tree. An immense wave of panic hits you, and you can’t move, you can’t speak, you can’t breathe--

And then it’s over. It’s over. You’re fine.

The sound of rain returns. (This time it’s definitely soothing, compared to what you just saw.) You’re standing in the foyer of a mansion, a wide open living room in front of you. The door behind you is faintly ajar, leading outside.

[!!!!

time to check out the collages!]

The collages are all focused on a different member of ☆Zrael, past and present and princess: Annabel, Aradia, Doodleman, Glory, Lance, Man Eater, Requiem, Sabre, and Wataru. Each one has a poem amidst their photos.

[...well. time to investigate his own.]

This collage is a tad smaller than the others, but the pictures it shows are very tender. Many of them, like Aradia’s, show Raven’s perspective from laying with his head in Lance’s lap, or on his shoulder. There’s a close-up of his newly-obtained horns, and several more pictures of Lance smiling.

Lance's poem.

[aww... yeah, that's the vibe, really.

checking out Dia's next.]

Aradia’s collage is filled with pictures of her reading or preparing tea and sweets. There’s a few pictures from the perspective of someone with their head in her lap, looking up at her. In addition to pictures, there’s also several book covers and framed passages from books--20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Treasure Island, Around the World in Eighty Days, and other adventure novels.

Aradia's poem.

Cute...

[SHOW ME THE DOODLEMAN]

Doodle’s collage has a bunch of pictures of him making big goofy smiles while Raven’s hand is in his hair, petting him. There’s also a leather collar and leash among the pictures, for some reason, as well as a blindfold. Finally, there’s also a book on Zoroastrian mythology, with a few pages bookmarked.

Doodle's poem.

...I probably shoulda seen that one coming.

[whoops.

anyway, gonna back off and go. wash his hands and face in the tub.]

You can successfully clean yourself here! There’s soap, and the water is nice and warm, and there’s a towel hanging nearby for you to use. However, no matter how hard you dry yourself off, there’s now a thin sheen of ☆glitter☆ plastered to your skin.

Well, at least it's not blood and demon guts?

...Well, it's an improvement.

[looking around, then moving on to room 3]
