Muireach bursts into the room... slowly... but driven nonetheless! He looks around for danger with Calibolg in hand, only to see that the child has begun playing music, “That... seems weird for this plane. I assume this is not normal? Vivi, what’s happening?”

"It-It's One!" Vivi points at Hel. "I came down and heard the music. It sounded familiar. Then... then... I saw her!"

Dyoken nudges Garamond, "Called it." 

Quote from LaRue >>

"It-It's One!" Vivi points at Hel. "I came down and heard the music. It sounded familiar. Then... then... I saw her!"

 “Hel... is One... That’s incredibly concerning. How have they not found her? And why is she playing music?”

Luthok walks into the room, leaving the confusing book behind. He says nothing, just stops, leaning on his staff.

Merrick walks in, hearing the music. "That is incredibly creepy!" he points out cheerfully. "It sounds like the music in those plays when there's a haunted dollhouse and their eyes are all looking at you."

He peers closer, trying to find the source of the music.

"Beats me," Urich replies to Muireach's question. "The kid was always a weirdo, so this isn't that surprising personally."

"Oh yes, this song, it sounds quite familiar..." Sir Garamon strokes his chin while Merrick looks at Hel. He can tell it seems to be coming from INSIDE the statue-like person. "Hmm-hmm hmmmm hmm-hmmmmm!" Sir Garamon hums, but it's completely off base and doesn't sound anything like the music box.

Merrick's best not-educated guess is that the music is coming from beyond Hel's solar plexus. 

"What'd you do to get that started, Vee?" Dyoken asks, "I assume screaming wasn't the trick." 

Muireach thinks for a moment, trying to remember some information, then he realizes, “Wait, Garamon. You said that Vivi inherited power from the red one’s gem? What do you mean by that?”

"Isn't that what the green one said?" Garamon replies to Muireach. "She ate the gem and it gave her power. Then she fainted. Ahh, what a classic jape. I bet Hel has a strange prank planned. Maybe if we follow along, they will finally wake up!"

"Uuu- I spotted One. I was scared at first. Worried maybe she was captured by the master and turned bad, but," Vivi shook her head. "One just stood there. I... I tried to peek into her mask!" Her cheeks flush red with embarrassment. "Uuu, I know it's wrong, but I want to know what she looks like. Her hand grabbed my wrist and music played! So I jumped far away... and landed on my butt."

When Merrick looks over at Hel, it doesn't seem their position has changed at all. Their hands seem to be under that red cloak.

"In any case... your girl woke up, huh? It's kind of late and now I have to figure out why Hel has a music box in their chest." Urich yawns. He isn't wrong. It's past sundown at this point. "I don't mind visits with friends, but, I'm pretty tired... don't you guys have things you wanted to get done in the morning? A big trip, huh?"

Muireach will attempt to remove the mask.

Muireach swipes at Hel's mask, meaning to pull it off quickly. Instead, he hurts the tips of his fingers as the mask doesn't budge from its spot. 

"Uh, what're you doing." Urich questions as he steps up. "I don't think slapping Hel will make this music box stop. Though I'm with you. I really hope it stops playing soon..."

“So... that mask is on there firm. I’d look into that. Anyway... I’m going to sleep. Good meeting you all. Luthok, Dyoken, Merrick, Vi, see you in the morning. I’ll be at the inn if you need me.”

Merrick turns to Sir Garamon. "Hey want to come sleep over? We are good friends now, you know."

Dyoken hoists his pack onto his back. "Very well, shall we meet up at the Archaology Society in the morning?" DK asks.

Once the details are settled he heads out and makes camp on Urich's lawn.

"Finally." Luthok turns and walks towards the exit, his eyes brighten as he sees Dyoken setting up camp."That's right. Sleep on someone else's lawn." He says, before going home and to bed. 

"Oh wowie, a sleepover!? Can I really sleep over?" Garamon looks over at Urich. "Can I???"

Urich strokes his chin thoughtfully as he gives Merrick the once over. Something about his expression and demeanor reminds Merrick of a concerned father. "Well... just let me know where you will be staying. I guess it's okay... I'll have this guy," Urich gestures toward DK setting up camp outside his window, "as collateral, I guess. Just keep your helm on." Urich looks at Merrick for a moment with a shrug. "He has a pretty bad skin condition."

Vivi follows Luthok unless otherwise directed. She will sleep wherever, but it has to be comfy unless you want her to softly coo "uuuu" all night long.

Luthok tries to make a bed for Vivi the best he can, throwing together every old piece of cloth in his hut on top of a base of rather mushy mushrooms. He makes them each a cup of tea and a pot of stew before bed. "How ya feeling there lass? Able to sleep tonight?"

"Uuu, yes. Thank you, Mr. Luthok." Vivi nods eagerly as she drinks from the pot of stew hungrily. She slurps it up in one go! The girl wipes her mouth with a hand, still leaving a bit of a mess on her face. She says, "It's more comfortable than the tube."

"You were sleeping in a tube?" Luthoks beard is just as messy as Vivis face.
