othellovonryan | The Bunker of "Safety"

[You find yourself in a large stone room. It has enough room to stand up, even for the tallest, and plenty of space to walk around. Likely Donnie absolutely exploded the insides of this rocky area to make this much space. The walls and corners are cut cleanly thanks to his mystic tools.]

[In the ceiling, recessed with some metal holders are crystals that shine with a warm light. A magic sunlamp.]

[There are a few inches of water on the floor, and probably most impressively is he's managed to make it so the water cycles through to the ceiling to make a light waterfall across all the walls. There are some polished boulders that provide some dry spots in the room.]

[But do make it very hard to try and write or carve things onto any surface in the room.]

[There is also a door with no handle on this side. It's half slid into the stone and has a metal cover, though any investigation will reveal the door is very thick, so probably stone makes up its center.]

[When people being dropped off]

[They can tell Donnie is coming back because the wall with the door is suddenly covered in a purple pink wall that will be shoving them across the room to push them away from the door. Then he'll open the door and drop off the person he's caught, or the food for people.]

[Each time the wall comes up, almost everytime, the walls seem to be getting...pinker.]

[Just for you guys: The Things Donnie is collecting from his connections for all this nonsense]
-Space Titanium to make Fabrications stronger from Korone
-His strength Plus Korone's strength when she's nearby until she bites someone else.
-Glyphs from Hunter
-Ninpo is always a thing
-Kraang things from Danger Memories
-Sedatives, so many sedatives
-Randy's orbment which comes with tech magic like FIRE, strength buffs under conditions, up his crit range for harder hits, makes him faster.
-Crow's guns

[ ah, so he realised she got the pendant back. she's surprised he's walking away, knowing that, but she's not about to complain. ]

So this is your grand plan? Dump everyone you care about in a box, like that'll somehow keep us safe?

[Of course he did. He realized something was gone when getting Randy's stuff and can see Hunter is out. But the fact Hunter is still here means its still not working Right and he knows how deep this bunker goes.]

[He has time to figure out a more Permanent solution. He has others to Test With Anyway.]

Yep. Isolation worked for us in our childhood. Buh bye. [There is the sound of the door.]

[ It's so tempting to port out there just to give him a piece of her mind

... But she grits her teeth and lets him go for now. ]

[That's how you get drugged again Korone so potentially for the best]

[ SHE'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, YOU PESKY TURTLE ]

[MAYBE TAKE A NAP FIRST]

-- Wait! Donnie! You can't leave us down here!!

[ Hunter HURLS HIMSELF FORWARD -

and bounces off the door as it closes. OW. ]

[ Winces in sympathy ]

He's so stubborn. [ ugh ]

[ Cartoon cardinals circling around his head as he sits up, dizzy. ]

Even - even more than usual! Why is this happening!!

I've been wondering if it had something to do with that fire. Mind if I touch you? It sounded like you hit the door hard.

[ She wants to check for any bumps. ]

G-go ahead ...

[ He has a mild goose egg forming on his forehead that she can easily take care of for him. ]

The fire?

[ Very gently feels around, and hisses quietly when she finds that little goose egg. ]

You've got a bit of a bump. I can try to take care of it now, or, if you wanna leave it, make sure to ask Leo-kun to look it over. How's your vision? Any blurriness?

[ Finishes her careful checkup ]

And yeah, the fire. Donnie-kun mentioned something about punishments. I missed all of the aftermath though, so it's just a guess on my part.

I can see fine. No concussion or anything. Just hurts a little.

[ He takes in a deep breath. ]

We got punished, though. I turned into a tree.

- I'm sorry, you what?

Oh. Uh. Yeah. I ... turned into a tree! And died. That was not great.

... I think something weird happened with my time again, though, because I remember it happening twice. But there's only one new tree in the garden.

[ ALARMING?? That's alarming, she is not in favor of this. ]

[ She pales several shades, lifting a hand to rub her temple ]

You ... You remember it happening twice. And something similar has happened before?

Y. Yeah. When Belos possessed me, Cat did something to split him into pieces? So - everyone fought their own Belos fragment, and helped me, and it all kind of came back together at the end.

[ that's less alarming, right, ]

[ if by "less alarming" you mean, she pales by SEVERAL SHADES

and the first couple of words she gets out are maybe just a tiny lil bit strangled-sounding ]

O. Oh. Yeah, that... that sounds like it'd feel weird, yeah. [ It's kind of a strong reaction. She knows it is. Oops.]

It. Uh. Was weird.

[ Mildly torturous, ]

A-anyway! Mostly that doesn't happen! Just - sometimes it does. I really should talk to Cat about it, probably, but it mostly doesn't bother me sooo it's fine.

[ a little softer, but also with an earnest edge, ]

Please talk to her about it. As soon as there's a good time for it. Or, at least... a less bad time.
