It's Okay To Feel Sad

Who: Anyone!
What: Introduction to the new building, and some ~prompts~ in the comments (TBA)
When: After the mini event.
Where: Therapy building
Warnings: the usual Mizuki warnings apply.


[ Here's your all-express tour of the therapy building! In more detail because there's a lot going on. Welcome! Buckle up! Or don't!

the lobby


The lobby consists of a lot of very comfy chairs, cots, and stuffed animals. There's a table in the middle with handheld gaming devices. According to the sign Mizuki placed at the table, these are his and he will take them all away if even one gets broken. Be gentle!

There are six doors throughout the lobby that lead to different rooms.

the physical room


No, it's not a room where you get your physical. Rather, it's a room entirely covered with rock climbing walls, and the floor is entirely made from trampolines. There's no safety equipment, though, so be careful! It's great for getting out physical energy, though, and Mizuki insists that exercise is a great form of therapy. He potentially just asked for it so he could jump on the trampoline...

the sensory deprivation tanks


Surely not wanting to feel anything at all like your floating through the infinite vast of nothingness and becoming one with the universe is exactly what you wanted, right? Being alone with your damning thoughts and nothing else as there's absolutely no light and the body temperature water that leaves you floating feels somehow like nothing and also like... you?

...

There's four tanks in the room. Have fun!

the paint room


An entirely white room from floor to ceiling with a plethora of different colored paints in buckets in the middle of the room. There are paintbrushes as well, but it's highly encouraged to just throw the buckets around or start slapping your paint-covered hands on the walls. Make a paint angel! Go nuts!!! Just don't eat the paint. Or do, I guess?? I'm not your mom.

Upon leaving the room, it resets to the state it was in when you walked in initially.

the library


This room is... exactly what you expect, actually. There's a bunch of books in here. Most are self-help, but there's some artsy books like origami folding and coloring books, along with colored pencils. There's a sign that states "you can bring the books out to the lobby to read, just remember to put them back when you're done."

the rage room


All ye who enter this room will be CURSED to be MAD for all eternity!!!!! …Just kidding. Entering the room reveals a very homey looking room with plates and vases and tables and chairs and counters. It could be a small, one room house in here alone. All the furniture does look pretty cheap, though. There's a sledgehammer on the wall that some force seems to not allow you take it out of the room, but there's a sign above it that says "Get your anger out! Go nuts!"

Upon leaving the room, it resets to the state it was in when you walked in initially.

the office


This room is locked. Mizuki and the Shopkeeper both have a key. On the outside, there is a form on a clipboard you can fill out. You can write your name down, a brief blurb about what you want to talk about, who you wish to talk to, etc. etc. and slip the paper under the door.

Inside the room, it's set up to be very earthy. Greens and blues to invoke both calm and creativity... aaaand maybe also remind one of the sea or forest. There's a lot of potted plants (no flowers, oddly-) and a comfortable couch and separate chair. There's a desk in the corner. ]

It simply means that there's nothing I can make meaningful progress on researching. I've stagnated on the photographs ever since the journal was discovered, though I'm still idly collecting them from people as they occur. It would be ideal to investigate the fog wall, but I have no tools on my person...

[Sigh.]

I plan to ask the Trader for some help with that, and I've informed Felicity that once resources are acquired, I'll make her an Arts unit to try and facilitate her magic better. We don't need her bad luck mucking things up further.

[Faintly disgusted noise—]

That would explain a lot. [Maybe his past life was the timeline where his family wasn't accused of murdering Olafur and Elizabeth. Wouldn't that be nice.] And it would explain why everyone here knows us.

To clarify, by "everyone here" I meant the merchant siblings, and apparently that creature in the forest that knows us as well. [This is pre-Zahliya but they came up in the family meeting, so.] I'm sure other entities here know our names and portions of our histories. A place like this, secluded from the outside world as it is, has to have other things living within the fog.

I'm not an expert on lunar cycles, but I would hope that it's a real moon that just... [flips his wrist about,] switches out.

[let gnosis into Lone Trail he wants to go to space. fake sky—]

[...]

You're right. That hypothesis sounds incredibly daft.
