This- this isn’t what they wanted. What they were promised. Why- why can’t they get their body to listen? Please. Please- stop, don’t make them do this…!
Come now, little flower bud. There’s no need to struggle. After all, progress cannot be made without… sacrifice.
Mary….. forgive me…………
Rosemary knows that people don’t like her- they’re afraid of her, think she’s weird, volatile, the like! Tori’s one of the exceptions. Ha. They- asked if Rosemary could mentor them. Wanted to BE around her. Eager to learn, listen. If it meant keeping her student safe…. she’d do anything.
Morning, Mister Apollo!

I’m so sorry, take it slow, your okay now
[You will know your newfound strength. At the heart of the facility lies your resting ground, your cradle. Those within the center are your natural prey. Feed on them. Take their energy for your own.] >>PROCEED
Just. Just ONCE, please. She needs hope. She needs a way out. She needs to know they can save someone. ANYONE
(She needs to know she can be saved.)
[You will not know pain. You will not know hesitation. You will invite the growth even if it will consume you. You will create even if it will destroy you. You are the host, the beating heart, the garden’s pawn.] >>PROCEED
The third case - beset upon the Agora Agency seemingly by something other than chance. In offering a pawn as sacrifice, something far more valuable was gained in its place, while the Agency's efforts have only yielded more unanswered questions. You’re running out of time, Grandmaster.
“…I need a lead, something — what I have isn’t enough! Not conclusive enough to get the city to act. Not enough to keep the toll from ticking up once more.”
Usually, the Head Priestess of the Panhellios Shrine and the Lead Researcher of the Kairos Center work in tandem to keep the city in harmony. … Usually. The most recent Priestess seems to have a ‘unique’ take on the role. Working under Mary has led Tori to hearing a wide variety of stories about the Priestess- which makes their occasional visits to the shrine *awkward*...
Garden’s above, again with that faux professor? She’s growing tired of Mary’s little student, the one that sometimes gets sent to do the dirty work in her place. Nyx has far more important things to do being forced to wait on an understudy.
Tori doesn't ... entirely, understand all the hype towards The Founder? They're more focused on their academics, if anything.... At the very least, The Founder's garden is a trove of fun things to study and understand, and it feels like they've only scratched the surface of it!
