Act 3
[Once upon a time, there was a girl who noticed that every single day, she had to track down her dearest love from wherever he happened to wander at the time. He could meander quite far if left to his own devices, which he was, more often than not, because establishing him a 'permanent' place to sleep at night? Had been overlooked.
That's not going to go on any longer. Rue leaves her room in the morning with some serious intent: first to find Mytho, then to convince him to get a room. His own room. ...Somewhere nearby. She has the perfect spot in mind. Of course, she has to find him first, a journey which takes her all over town and back again. Thinking of the only two things he's shown a real interest in doing, and with an eye out for anyone acting particularly odd and emotional, she'll stop a few people she happens to pass with a question:]
Have you seen a white-haired boy pass this way? Or perhaps he was dancing somewhere?
[Once all the hunt-and-find is over and done with (it is a long day), she might be forgiven for overlooking something upon her return to her own apartment. In truth, she doesn't get a good look until she starts to get ready for bed.
There on the living room chair is a pair of terrifyingly familiar black toe shoes.
That is all it takes to turn a frustrating but decent day into a rising nightmare; Rue screams once, turning to run out of her apartment and out of community building seven, as well. Distance, she wanted distance. If she could get far enough away they would not be real.
It is her particular brand of destiny that takes her on a collision course with at least one other person in her flight. Hopefully whoever they are can manage to stop her doing something foolish and irrational.
After all, it's just shoes.]

[Mytho]
[Mytho]
[Mytho]
[Now then. Room 2 is unlocked just as she intended. That's where she takes him, dropping her bag of his clothes on the nearest chair.]
Choose one of the bedrooms.
[Mytho]
And he walks towards the first bedroom he sees.]
[Mytho]
Do you- [Was it wise to give him the choice? Eventually he really would be able to choose, after all.] You'll be staying here from now on.
[Mytho]
Okay.
[Mytho]
[Mytho]
I believe that I could be.
[Mytho]
[Mytho]
[Mytho]
[Mytho]
[He nods at her.]
[Mytho]
Of course, she won't be in her own room for more than a few seconds after she sees what awaits her there.]
