[The first thing Armin does is stream the unsettling sight in front of him - a shallow pool of water, and inside, the sign of the King in Yellow. After a moment, he turns the camera back on himself, so to speak.]

It's appeared again. I got picked up by one of the... the pinballs, and eventually got dropped into this maze. I thought I'd take a look around, since I was already here, and eventually I came across it.

[He switches perspectives again, briefly, to do a slow pan around him and show enough that someone should be able to recognize the area if they come across it.]

For those who don't know, the King in Yellow is a god, a creature of fear and madness. We stopped him from manifesting an avatar into the world a little more than half a year ago, but his sigil still haunts us. Everyone should try to avoid it, if they can - meddling with it could free the King and his creatures, releasing them into liminal space.

If anyone finds the sign in the future, Leonardo and I both know how to contain it - please let one of us know.


[Private to: Leonardo]

I could use your help. I know the protections, but I don't have any way to physically contain it.

[Armin frowns, his eyebrows drawing down in confusion. As much as his instinct is to keep civilians away, he can sense there's more at play here. And more than that...]

What do you mean? It's not my place to forbid you from doing anything, Sansa.

Perhaps. [ He is of lower class-- but still. ] But if you did, I would not go. ...I would prefer to be at your side, though.

[For once, Armin isn't even thinking of social standing. It's just never occurred to him that they would be anything but equals in their relationship.

Armin sighs.] Just... stay close to Mikasa, okay?

[canbebrave]

I will! Thank you, Armin.
