Entry tags:
Minor and Major Keys
Who: Stacia, Bunny, Saturday, Remy, others to be added
What: Stacia finds a mysterious key and investigates
Where: About the rig
When: After Pathless Woods/Saturday Morning/Unicorn Hunting
Warnings/Notes: none as of yet
There is a mysterious key in Stacia's possession and she is wildly curious about it.
She'd found it in her room, and promptly stomped on it just to make sure it wasn't going to get any funny ideas. She'd crumpled the accompanying note a bit in the process, but the message is still legible:
It's true enough, she has her own experiences that speak to it, but someone or something is playing a game here and she doesn't appreciate not being told the rules ahead of time. She also doesn't appreciate the fact that she knows that this key will open the wooden music box that Jorgmund has in their Collections room just from touching the key.
Stacia is not a girl prone to investigating the weird and mysterious on her own unless she has no other choice, and she has a person or two she wants to talk to before she takes this thing to Collections to see what will happen...

Never forget: Keys turn both ways. You can lock something away... But you can also throw a bolt and set something free.

"Hey Stac. What's up."
no subject
Stacia shudders dramatically. "Oh no. I'll take that with the intention with which it was meant, but please don't call me 'Stac'. It's barely a hop away from 'Stacy' and then I'll have no choice but to fight you." She plops down next to Saturday. "Even 'Ana' is better, and I only use that when I'm suspicious of someone's intentions."
She glances briefly at Saturday's cupped hands. "Something from home?"

Her eyes aren't wet, that's just a trick of the light.
"You heard of anything similar happening around the rig?"
no subject
"I've only talked to Bunny so far," she says, choosing not to comment on a certain trick of the light. "He says he got something from home." She dips a hand into her pocket and pulls out the music box key, holding it close to her body. "I got something that's definitely not from home, because it goes to something here."
no subject
She cranes her head to get a better look without touching it, in case of booby traps. "Small. Maybe for a box or somethin'?"
no subject
"I know what it does because it told me," Stacia says. "Not with words so much as a little knowledge bubble in my head when I picked it up."
She lowers her voice, even though no one's around and they all know the cameras don't work. Habit dies hard.
"It opens a music box the Jorg has in Collections. No idea what's inside though; aside from some kind of magic bullshit." Keys that tell you how to use them only ever open magic bullshit.

It's nice dealing with someone else who is down to talk shit about magic nonsense. Stacia appreciates all the things that magic can do and can be used for, but fuck if it isn't annoying sometimes.
"Nope. It was pretty much just "I go with this box here" and that was it." Stacia drops the key back in her pocket so that she can gesticulate without worrying about throwing it across the room. "I'm not an expert on things locked in boxes, but I figure there's only three things that could be in it: something good, something bad, or something annoying. Since it ended up in my hands, I'm leaning toward the third." She huffs her aggravation. "Tricksters, you know? Plus there was a note with it about how keys can be used to lock something away or free it."

"You'll need someone watchin' your back." It's not a question.
no subject
"Have I ever told you how much I appreciate that you're the type of person who understands the importance of having back-up? Because I do." Not having a pack around is weird and uncomfortable, but at least there are other people here who get that society only works if you do it together.
"There's one more person I'm hoping to snag for the trip, but the current plan is to drift down to Collections over the next half-hour or so, so it doesn't look like we're all there together on purpose. Bunny's going to meet us there."
no subject
"I'll get a little stretch in an' retrieve some things I have stashed." It probably won't come to a fight, but it could.
"See you down there soonish."
