Precious stares blankly at Giant Dances the Sea.
Giant nods sagely, understanding implicitly.
I am now imagining that you've got this dove's head stuck on the end of one of your fingers, like one of Salad Fingers' little puppets that he talks to. :lol:
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

I probably won't be around for rest of the evening so carry on without me. Or someone can make my turns if needed (just don't kill me).
We'll just have you 'tag along', but if your actions are required we'll just wait until the next day.

This is a no-time-pressure play method (well, unless you take as long to reply as Snowy :lol: )!

A dove named Hubert Cumberdale...

Malaiz wants to kick the door off it's hinges and commando roll into the room! This probably means giving the door a firm shove, then carefully getting into a fetal position while someone gives him a helpful push.

Malaiz kicks the door open and "commando-rolls" into the room!

Inside is a wooden stool and a table covered in dirt, parchment with nonsensical scribblings in chalk, a greasy metal bowl and a fork.
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

Giant rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

"Remember, Malaiz, you're in disguise as Wemut. Not to overly criticise your admittedly dramatic performance, but I don't recall him entering our cell block with quite as much... enthusiasm? Try adopting a more nonchalent disposition; be casual. Try whistling, I find that helps me blend in."

Giant sidles over to the cell door in the corridor leading to the north, and gestures meaningfully at the lock.

Side note: I don't know why I've started playing Giant as mute, it seemed fitting somehow. I like to think he understands human speech but, as an alien being, perhaps lacks the right anatomy to reproduce it himself.

I assume he's still capable of his distressing giggling noises? :lol:

After his show of bravado, Malaiz is feeling rather manly. He is then chastised for his actions and goes out to the hallway to pout like a sullen teenager.

Might he sulk near the locked door and sullenly unlock it? ¬_¬

Do I have the key?

If so, I stick my bottom lip out even further and with exaggerated slowness unlock the door.

Yeah, I think the ring of keys is part of your jailer disguise?
