[hello! in the simulation room today, there is... this. you're standing on an island, looking out over a lush landscape, with more islands visible in the distance; a large structure sits on one, waterfalls pouring off the edge of another. it's idyllic, here.
emet-selch is seated on the first island's edge, looking out over the rest. instead of his normal appearance, he has a pair of black raven wings, a silver crown's spires growing from his head, and wherever his skin's not covered by robes-- it's shadowy, but not dark, lit from the inside by a slow-moving pattern of tiny, multicolored lights. it's like somebody put a galaxy projector on him.
he glances up to alphinaud with four glowing, golden eyes.]
-ah. Investigating as well, I take it.

[ —That. That is a look. It takes Alphinaud by surprise, momentarily. ]
Is that you, Emet-Selch?
[ A rhetorical question, more than anything. He realizes quickly enough that it certainly is. ]
Ah... that is—indeed, I am. I've not seen a "simulation room" ere now, but this isn't what I had expected of it.

So I see. Good, good. More oft than not, those who return from those ventures are nigh on the brink of death.
[ While Emet-Selch is around the garden, eventually, he is greeted (or interrupted?) by a silver colored carbuncle leaping through with a series of chirps. If he turns around, he'll find Alphinaud not too far behind, a cup of tea in hand. ]
Here to enjoy the view, Emet-Selch?
Here to enjoy the view, Emet-Selch?
Me? I need for naught—oft do I come out here with some tea. The flowers bring some color to this dreary place, so I find it a nice spot for a moment's relaxation.
Only "not disagreeable"?
[ he sips at his tea. carbuncle sniffs at some petals. ]
Surely even you could enjoy a garden from time to time.

Hm... Yes, that is quite fair.
Are you feeling any better?
Are you feeling any better?
[ It's not that he would expect Emet-Selch to be super open or anything, but... It's still kind of odd to see him go :/ like this. ]
If you insist. Should you want for aught, however, I could perhaps be of some assistance to you. I have had plenty of time to settle in, after all.

... Hm, yes—that is plenty fair. Though I cannot provide such, it goes without saying that I want for the same, but I believe it possible eventually.
[hewwo... emet-selch is out here, simply vibing while he watches the portraits; he's seemingly content to just chill, this time, after the information they've managed to receive.
he still has a blanket around him though after it's snowed, he does not fuck with the cold.]

[ Cozy Emet... ]
Need you any tea, Emet-Selch?
Need you any tea, Emet-Selch?
[ has it EVER ]
Then I shall fetch some for the both of us. Have you any preferences?

Truly? I wouldn't have thought you unable to handle the cold well.
[ There is an irony to this that Alphinaud will keep to himself. ]
Well, I suppose we can't all be... Then, just a moment.
[ He goes to disappear off in the kitchen, and some minutes later returns with two cups, offering one to Emet. It's earl grey! ]
Here you are. That should warm you up.

What was it like? More moderate, I presume.
