WARNINGS: Possibly some anxiety

Labyrinth

[ Luisa had no idea what was going on.

She didn't remember ever falling asleep, but when she woke she suddenly found herself in this strange place. It kind of reminded her of a Roman coliseum, like the ones she'd read about in a few books she'd picked up before. There didn't seem to be any obvious way out, though, and after wandering around while trying to find an exit, she'd come across some kind of strange creature that tried to attack her.

It wasn't like she'd never had this dream before, of encountering some monster that she needed to fight, so she wasn't entirely surprised to find a sword and shield nearby as well. But she knew something was wrong as soon as she picked them up - while they weren't necessarily heavy, she could definitely feel the weight of them. And as she blocked a blow from the monster with the shield, she felt the strain in her muscles, just trying to keep from being crushed under it.

And yeah, she's had this dream before too - even before all the trouble with the magic, she'd have nightmares of losing her strength, of not being able to do what she needed to. But while dodging another of the monster's attacks, she felt the sharp sting of its claws as it grazed her arm, leaving dark red lines on her skin.

This wasn't a dream. It was all real, and she was actually fighting a monster without her usual strength. But if all this was real, then did that mean her family could also be here somewhere?

She wasn't entirely sure how she managed to beat the monster, but it probably had something to do with the sudden rush of adrenaline with the need to find her family. She called out for each of them, searching through the twists and turns of the maze while encountering more beasts. Some where animals that she'd heard about, some were creatures of myth she'd read about, but all were tough and difficult to beat.

She somehow manages to push on, even though the fights wear down on her. She isn't sure how long she can keep this up, but she has to keep trying. If her family was here, she needed to find them. ]


The City

[ After eventually getting out of the labyrinth, and with some explanation later, Luisa takes a little time to explore this strange new city. It's a weird feeling; she'd never even left the Encanto before, and suddenly in some huge city in who-knows-where. Even with the mountains surrounding their home, she had never felt quite as...small as she does now.

She tries not to dwell on that too much, though, as she takes in all the stores and shops along the street. And she can't help a puzzled frown. ]


Why is everything so...red?

[Mirabel has gotta stop venturing into labyrinths when they open up, but today is not that day.

The coliseum maze does remind her of Luisa, but she doesn’t know that’s who that’s here yet. She rounds a corner, and immediately bumps into a doglike monster who turns around with a snarl.

Uh oh.]


Ah ha, good boy. Let’s not - whoa! Hold on-!

[Luisa can probably hear a scream somewhere nearby.]

[She thinks she hears Luisa’s voice - but it can’t be… could it?]

Luisa! Luisa, are you there- oof!

[The dog takes one giant paw and just. Knocks her into the wall.]

[Jun pauses at the very buff woman. He's never seen her come into the coffee shop before, he knows that much, and yet there's something familiar about her between her looks, her out-of-place clothes, her confusion about her surroundings...

...

This is another Madrigal isn't it. Isn't it?? How many are there.]


It's because it's almost Valentine's day! Red, pink and white are the popular colors for the holiday.

[Isabela certainly would have had a thing or two to say about the color scheme taking over the city... if it weren't for the fact that she knows that voice.]

--Luisa?

[Okay no she can't be stopped. Not entirely.]

Don't even get me started on the decorations.

[--alright, back to the important things. She can't imagine Luisa went through the same place she did. That place felt too personal. But then... what did she go through to get here. Thinking about it, her eyes widen slightly.]

...are you alright? What-- what did you see before you got here?

[If Luisa is struggling with the onslaught of beasts, she might find some help - in the form of a gray horse, who's found herself in this labyrinth too. As she's fighting one, said horse comes thundering out, swinging around and kicking one of the beasts with her back hooves.]

Eat some of THIS!

[There's some delight in her voice as she delivers a kick. And yeah, she can talk.]

[Mirabel wonders how many animals she's going to get knocked around by in this city. At least this one was intimidating and not an electric squirrel. She's dazed, but she looks up to see her sister coming to her rescue.]

Luisa, look out!

[It's trying to bite one of them - it's big enough that all Mirabel can see is a flash of teeth and drool.]

[Horse backs up a little with a satisfied neighing sound. She takes a glance at Luisa, nodding to her - she's not at all like the scrawnier humans she's seen around here.]

I think we can take it out in one hit if we attack together!

It's a holiday about romance and love. If you have a special someone in your life, you're supposed to do something special with them.

If you're single, well you eat chocolate and try to cope with this holiday being everywhere the best you can.

Luisa!

[Speaking of red, there's an exciteable young woman hurrying down the street towards where Luisa is standing, dressed in her signature yellow and red though somewhat more weather-appropriate than she had been when she'd first got here.

There's no mistaking her cousin's tall frame as she stands peering into a window. Dolores pops up by her elbow with a muted squeak.
]

Fancy finding you here.

[With how many of her family she's now stumbled across in Kaisou, her greetings are getting rather less surprised.]

[And she's scooped up! Honestly she doesn't mind because this is some pretty frightening stuff.]

Have you been fighting in here this whole time?!

[Horse will try to explain everything later, for now - she charges forward and swings her hooves into the beast again, putting her full strength into it.]

Oh really? That sounds like a much nicer tradition.

I've heard little kids give each other cards in elementary school, but...I was, uh, home schooled until high school. So I missed out.

[Instead his first time with V-Day was after everyone was hitting puberty and obsessed with dating. alas.]

[Hunter is stopped in front of a bookstore. A bookstore with an incredibly Valentine's display in the front window, all pinks and reds, and it's giving him pause. He wanted to go in and maybe get some books on humans, but if it's all love holiday stuff he isn't sure it's worth his time.

At the question he speaks up, tone displeased.]


It's because of some human holiday.

[He finally glances over and, upon noticing her normal human ears, raises an eyebrow.]

Which... you should probably know about? [Maybe? He isn't sure.]

[Whatever is controlling the Portal Hole (TM- Bruno Madrigal) has a clear preference for Madrigals. Maybe he should go into the Zodiac offices and just straight-up ask what they think is going on.

...Except he won't do that because Bruno is conflict-avoidant enough to never step foot in there unless something serious goes on.

But hey, he's wandering the city, keeping out of sight as much as possible when he catches sight of Luisa- it's hard to miss her after all. He wanders over- he doesn't even know why he's surprised his family are showing up anymore.
]

Luisa- you-you made it, too. [He waves at the...pink, grimacing.] Apparently it's some sort of holiday.
