[It isn’t the first time Stephen’s aided a newcomer’s entrance to the Horizon, but it is the first time he’s thought to wander to their own domain once the urge to build gnaws at them properly. Curiosity is a keen motivator, after all, and it drives him to investigate what kind of home-away-from-home Jasper would make for himself; a man prickly around the edges, but having proved helpful all the same, difficult to get a read on when much of their repartee had been barbed exasperation.

And this— Well. This is not exactly what he expected to find, this bridge doused in hues of lurid purples, a dark sky looming above like a void. Stephen stands, eyes trailing from demonic statue to demonic statue.

Okay.

He approaches Jasper, who looks pale. Uncertain, maybe. The usual confusion that fogs the mind of all new arrivals to this plane, but Stephen wonders if he’s trying to reconcile the ominous nature of what he sees with a faraway memory he cannot quite reach.]


Nice decor.

[—is his greeting as he draws closer, his red cloak a-flutter behind him.]

[It doesn’t surprise him that Jasper looks like he belongs — it’s his domain, after all, and it would be stranger if he didn’t. But there is something about his demeanor that doesn’t quite align, even if their exchange of words have been few. More than just the confusion, but the lack of a harder edge to his mild sarcasm, usually met in kind.]

It’s yours. I’d wonder at your choice to create something that isn’t nice.

[He moves closer to a railing. Chances placing his hand against one, leaning against it.]

Reeks of magic.

[Again, a reply unlike what he would have expected. Seeing an individual stripped down bare of their memories, and standing amid what they would create for themselves in this raw form? It is interesting to Stephen; oddly vulnerable, and he refrains from making a remark done in his usual shade of sarcasm to avoid an unnecessary meanness to his tone.]

No.

[He looks out a little more, before standing back up straight and glancing over at this domain’s host.]

I would’ve have expected it, either. What do you make of it?

[Nothing. It's about expected, though Stephen had wondered if there was something else there. Something faint, tugging on the threads of memory, but coming up just short. It had been that way for him, in retrospect.

Still, he won't press. This seems to be a, ah... tricky sort of situation. Lacking memory but dredging up a place like this, all the same.]


Why don't you try your hand at creating something different, then? Liven this place up? It's a little too dark and gloomy for my tastes.
