The ruins were...strange. For some reason, Jolyne felt certain that there was something different about them. The lack of flowers, for example. they were omnipresent everywhere else in the Garden, but here? No sign of them.

But what really seemed strange to her was that, whenever she tried to investigate them, the Vine stopped her from descending down any of the staircases. It didn't do that anywhere else. Jolyne could feel it in her gut: there was something different about this place. And she wanted to find out what it was.

A loud cry of "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA" echoed through the ruins as she tried once again to batter her way through with her Stand. Just as it had all the other times she'd tried it, the barricade stood firm, even against blows that could break through a brick wall. She gave up and stood back, sweating lightly. She couldn't beat her way in, and the Vine was too tightly wound for even her strings to penetrate. She would have to think of something else.

"Whoever designed this place was an expert in kekkai," came a voice from not far behind, and just slightly above. A floating girl?

At the sound, Sephiroth's attention was drawn, pulling her away from one of her patrols. "Once, we were able to enter that place. The Labyrinth was beneath."

She smiled politely. "I wouldn't damage the Vine. Not only is there no way through, but it has some sentience, and you might attract negative attention." It didn't truly trouble her, and the Vine as a whole wasn't hurt by it, but she knew the Vine could be spiteful.

Battlecries and the sounds of things being hit are a good way to get Katina's attention real quick - though she had to wonder why someone was pummeling the flora, until she noticed the entrance.

"You hit pretty hard, but I don't think it's gonna budge."
