MASKTOURN

Reagan led Seki back through the snake hallway, and paused at the door labled with her name. "This one's yours. Just place your hand on the panel, and you'll be let in." @Twig | Seki / Aarni

"Oh, huh." Seki did as instructed. @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

With a low, groaning stone sound, the large stone panel of the door lifted, and Seki was let inside. "There you go!" Reagan beamed. "Your name is on the door, and the contestants names are sorted alphabetically, so you should always be able to find your way back here." @Twig | Seki / Aarni

"Whoa, neat", Seki said as they watched the stone panel raise like in some movie. "Okay, thanks again for your help", Seki turned to smile to Reagan, tail swaying. @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

"Of course. If you need any more help with anything, please, just contact me. There's a tablet on your desk that you can reach me through." They smiled. @Twig | Seki / Aarni

"Eyy, okay, sounds great", they glanced into the room and at the table, noticing the mask at first. "Oh, and there's my mask, too." @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

Reagan remained in the hallway, not wanting to enter without Seki's permission. "Yep! Just put it on- it should stay there without any problem, and you should still be able to see fine." @Twig | Seki / Aarni

"Oh yeah?" Seki stepped in and next to the table, and picked up the mask. They looked at it carefully, tracing the patterns with their claw. "It's just like yours. Just a bit different shape", they observed, before trying it on. It sat nicely on top of their snout. "Whoa... weeird..." they muttered when they noticed they could really see right through the mask. They clumsily put their hand over the mask, and poked and stroke the mask where the eye holes would be, and blinked as they saw their own fingers tap so near their eyes. @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

"It's magic!" Reagan announced proudly, though in truth they had no part in any of the magic that made the masks possible. "Please do wear it while you're out. We like to keep things... in uniform, around here." @Twig | Seki / Aarni

"Tat's so cool..." Seki hummed, before taking the mask off, sqeezing their eyes closed and shaking their head briefly, long ears flapping and earrings gently jingling. "Ah, hm, I see", their expression tightened, and they seemed slightly disappointed, though they tried not to show it. "Naturally." @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

If Reagan noticed the brief flash of dissapointment, they didn't mention it. "Is there anything else I can help you with right now?" @Twig | Seki / Aarni

"Hmhh, well..." Seki put the mask back on the table, and leaned on the backseat of the chair with their hands and back of their hips. "Can you tell what sort of schedule do we have?"

"The fight events won't be starting til tommorow afternoon, at the earliest. There might be some smaller events in the meantime, though I don't think any of them will be mandatory, or result in any deaths. I think there might be a feast planned tonight." Reagan hummed. "For now, the contestants are encouraged to relax and mingle with each other." @Twig | Seki / Aarni

"Oh, a party? Nice, nice..." Seki hummed, tail squirming at the mention of deaths. "Hm, alright... I think that's all I can think of for now." @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

"Alright! I've should probably get back to work, then." Reagan smiled again. "I'll see you around?" @Twig | Seki / Aarni

"Yeah, sorry you had to babysit me for so long, heh... Yeah, see ya." Seki smiled and waved. @innsjo | kyrie🪶+ darcy🖋+npcs

"It's no bother, that's what I'm supposed to do!" They laughed, waved goodbye, and went on their way. @Twig | Seki / Aarni
