[world 5] i will climb mount zinit, into the forbidden zone.

[zinit]

Who: the Alices and their neat new hats
What: Qilby's heart is open for exploration!
Where: world 5, Hell Lab on Mount Spaceship
Warnings: it's time for planetcide, naughty children...


Qilby steps through the door first, and when the first blast of fresh air hits him, it's nostalgic. He closes his eyes against the wind, opens them again, and...

Part of him feels warmth welling in his chest; it's familiar, the spitting image of the second place the Eliatropes called home. Vili is there, bright and warm as it is in the summer, and he wants to sink into it: to feel small things like grass against his cheek, like the way wakfu pulses just under the surface. The other half of him knows it's not real, and dread sinks from his throat into the pit of his stomach.

He'd been trying pointedly to ignore that his heart, too, would be laid bare. It's easy to spectate when your own dignity isn't at stake; it's easy to sniff at others' insignificant problems when your own are not being amplified. He keeps looking over his shoulder for his family, but they aren't there, and he knows that. The only thing here for him is a key and five (once six) barely familiar faces.

Now, let's hope he's not going to get stabbed in the neck.

It is probably obvious whose heart it is when he forges ahead, straight for the rusting door (how has the Zinit become this poorly maintained?), and settles his hand in the groove to unlock it. (Then, it is probably obvious by the hats whose heart it is, also.)

These hats are so big.

[ Rei can't help but pout a little bit as she tugs at the edges of her hat, which almost looks like long animal ears; it makes her feel shorter than she already is, as she's only 4'9".

But she plans on following suit to the door, playing the role as the observer. She won't actively be doing anything unless prompted, really. ]

[So this is the evil wizard's heart, probably. He'd always wanted to know what an evil wizard's heart looked like... well, it sounded like the sort of thing he would have always wanted to know if he'd really thought about it before. He finds himself taking more interest in this world than he'd been able to muster since exiting his own heart. Fascinating how it looked like a laboratory. Was it possible to be a mad scientist and evil wizard at the same time? Most systems wouldn't allow that... no, backing up before too many memories of his own heart returned. Even though he managed to make himself sadder than he'd been upon entering, this world is still pretty interesting. Hey, what does that thing over there do?... He reaches out to touch something on a table.]

Otoha's hat flops its 'ears' behind him as he moves. This place seems too green, too perfect. There's something wrong, and it doesn't take him too long to find it. The door is opened, and he strides inside... and stops.

The test tubes make him stare, and he's not sure what to do with it. It reminds him of Eko's tower, and he doesn't like it. Nue's massive form over his brother... this place is wrong like that place was wrong.

He clenches his fist, but doesn't move. He just stands there, staring at one of the test tubes for a long while.
