Gatchapon

Reflexively, you curl tighter. Just another minute. Just another minute of sleep is all you need, but the sun waits for no one. Wait. The sun? After many days and nights with only moonlight to guide you, your eyes snap open and your pupils contract at the light.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Bask in this euphoria for however long it lasts, until your memory snaps back against your mind like a rubber band. Weren't you dead? No matter how you met your end, you certainly remember dying in vivid detail. The pain that corresponds to the last moment's of your life chooses then to make itself known, trying to wriggle free from your skin almost literally. That mark on your skin wasn't there before either.

Take a moment to breathe and get your bearings, and really take everything into focus. The warm rays of sun that dance upon your skin are colorful and fragmented like a kaleidoscope, the effect of being filtered through stained glass. Of all the places to wake up, it seems you're inside a church that's no stranger to you, St. Mary's Basilica. While the odds are good you've woken up with company somewhere near by, the glint of gold from the altar will likely catch your attention regardless—embedded deep in the altar stands a golden staff, two sculpted wings draped down its sides.

While some things are the same, and some things are different, there are still more questions than answers. But the inscription engraved into the roof of the ceiling of the Church, now visible in proper lighting seems rather apt: Welcome to Krakow (again).

[The first thing he will see when he ascends is that there's a short hallway leading aside, to a much larger place.

A ballroom.

There's also a bunch of rooms because hey, this is a hotel]

[twoasone]

[Hm... All the rooms are the same, so he holds the flame up and enter the ballroom.]

[umbralant]

[The ballroom seems to be devoid of traps...even on the Night side! What Shin will see through the fire is that something about the Night side ballroom seems different. It's clean on both sides, but the Night side's furniture --what little there is -- has been moved around. The fire is too low-res to take a good look at any details, though.

On the Twilight side, everything is in order, but to a side there's rope and medical restraints. Lots and lots of both of those.]

[twoasone]

[Ooookay. He's gonna check some of the restraints. Do they seem noticably worn, like someone strong was struggling against them?]

[umbralant]

[Nope! They look brand new. It all looks prepared to be used, given how they're placed in the ballroom, but brand new]

[twoasone]

[... FROWNING AT THE LACK OF DEFINITION IN THE FLAMES.

Ya know what, he's gonna try to take some of these restraints with him. They're not tied to anything, right? He could make use of these if he survives long enough.]

[umbralant]

[Go ahead, Shin. Get some of those restraints!]

[twoasone]

[ Yes... Good. Material to tie those two up and-

Wait, what if they need rope for something else?

If the rope's cut into smaller sections, he's gonna be tying knots so it all forms one big rope. And maybe he'll secure one of those medical restraints to the end in case someone can't handle rope burn.

This will probably take a while.]
