Who: Everyone
When: Right after that labyrinth, which happens to be the bright and early morning of Day 11
Where: Tier 2's expanded forest—the town—wherever you might be, really.
What: today is a lovely day in which everything is divine and wonderful and

[...wait. no, hold on a second.

there was a labyrinth in the middle of the night—one that took place in the forest. what came of that anyway? well, this forest sure seems bigger than before. the trees provide a leafy canopy over everything on Tier 2—in fact, every part of Tier 2 is really dark now. in some places it might still seem like nighttime. huh. it wasn't like that before, but okay.

if you're in town at all over the course of the day, you'll catch wind of an old rumor that might stick out more than anything you've heard recently:

"I remember now—when I was a kid, I heard there was buried treasure in the forest!"

"...where exactly did you hear this? Because I heard the same thing!"


try as you might to find the verbal source of the rumor, but you won't find it. gossip's gossip, after all. or maybe it's not important.


follow this loud "thud" sound further into the forest, and you'll discover a kid mulling about in one of the darker clearings. she has pigtails—two thin, amber pigtails on each side of her head. currently, her small hand is clenched in a fist as she slams it against the tree. it's surprisingly loud.

"I can't believe this. I can't believe this...!"

her voice... does not sound like that of a particular door. instead, it might sound like a distant voice that might have called out to you in a dark, dark forest before... in all honesty, you might not recall hearing it, and that's okay.

anyway. it's dark, so you can't make out the finer details, but you could almost swear that the edges of her seem to blur.

SO! what are you doing today, denizens of Kingdom Daze? going about your own business? dealing with things after the labyrinth? or... are you letting your curiosity get the best of you one way or the other?

((OOC POST-LABYRINTH NOTES))

((I'm just going ahead and posting this for anyone who is ready. Whether you were in the labyrinth or not, feel free to address this NPC—who miiiight be a little Dangerous—and I'll tag you! Likewise with the treasure rumor—if you want to engage with at some point at ALL (even outside this mingle) just say so! You can also go about and do your own thing in this post.

If you didn't play in the labyrinth, but want to SAY that you did, there's a HANDWAVE option here! Just comment to that and you'll be squared away. Otherwise, you can use this mingle as you see fit for day in the life after the labyrinth if you want.))

[ Her first labyrinth... could have gone a lot worse. Lightning had been a wonderful partner, though, and she's grateful for her. But she's even happier to get out of that labyrinth, especially after how emotional it had been...

anyway, you can find Aqua milling around, enjoying her freedom. ]
for that npc
[ Well, she can't just ignore a child wandering around in the dark, so Aqua approaches her. ]

Are you alright?

Is there anything I can do to help? Anything at all?

Burn it? Why would you want something like that?

[Buried treasure, huh. Luke is a bit skeptical of the rumors he keeps overhearing at work, but he decides to poke around in the forest after his shift is up nevertheless. He's barely done any exploring since he arrived, after all.

Things are peaceful and relatively dull until a strange thumping sound -that seems to be getting louder- turns out to be... a little kid just ahead... punching a tree?]

[to himself but probably loud enough to be heard]

What the hell...

[Luke winces at the sounds of impact. yeaah this is definitely not normal, but he isn't about to turn around and leave with more questions than answers...]

Hey, what are you talking about? What happened?

[looks up briefly at the very nonthreatening looking tree she was just laying into]

It's... I mean, sure, I'll try. How would I help?

[did he hear her correctly??]

Burn it down?! Don't you think that's a little overboard? People could get hurt.

[well that definitely doesn't bode well]

Hey, you can't just ask me to light an entire forest on fire without saying why. 'It's causing problems' is a pretty flimsy explaination coming from a stranger.

Bad memories must be rough... but unless it's going to hurt someone and really needs to be destroyed, why don't you just leave?

Ruined--?

[ Well, she hasn't been here very often. So that must mean... ]

Because of the labyrinth?

[he tenses nervously at her expression, but the words that follow make his face fall]

Hey, no, you're... You're wrong about that. I'm really easy to mess with...

[it's definitely not the time for self loathing]

And it's not that I can't sympathize! I just don't think you should be hanging around out here by yourself if it makes you sad or upset. Is burning the forest down going to make your bad memories go away? I doubt it.

I won't. I'm sorry.
