Mesdames et Messieurs, Voilร , C'est Vous

Bievenue

You're wrapped in a soothing, all-encompassing darkness.

Well, perhaps not perfectly all-encompassing -- you can see some slivers of light here and there, just enough to realize that your current space is literally wrapped in something, and that you are a highly customized burrito at the mercy of an entirely too fluffy bed and set of blankets. Moreover: you are definitely not alone.

Depending upon the contents of your bed (two of you, waking up dressed exactly in what you wore last you remember back where each of you came from, in the exact same state as those last moments no matter how illogical or disjointed), it may not be comfortable or feasible to stay cocooned up for much longer. There's a low, muted GONG, GONGG coming from not far away, your bed creaks like a beleaguered ship in an unannounced storm, and it is joined by even more noises of movement beyond the bed canopy as you try to take stock of where you are.

Eventually, you either fall out of bed or drag yourself into this world: your new and strangely crowded personal rooms, the clock insistently sounding out the hour, and the halls and heraldry of the venerable Chรขteau Ambregris -- a lavishly decorated and fully furnished version of a more-or-less authentic French castle (assuming you know what France or a castle are).

Left to your own devices for the moment, you may find it helpful to explore the castle for your own purposes, check out the suspicious statues and personalized plaques in the Promenade of Reflexion, or perhaps to try to get to the bottom of the mysterious and frankly alarming amount of bread piled up in front of the place settings in the Banquet Hall. (Were you thinking of escaping? Any attempts to leave the property will be met with no forward progress at all, treadmill style). There's just about every kind of loaf, roll, boule, baguette, croissant or even animal-shaped bread you can think of stacked in baskets. There's absolutely nothing else save for plain bread, but at least you won't starve.

[OOC: Welcome to Chรขteau Ambregris, a perfectly normal castle receiving perfectly normal guests. Feel free to ask any questions in discord! The NPC Meet & Greet will be later today, March 8 at 6 PM EST/3 PM PST.]

N-no... it might come back anyway.

[ and he's not asking for help. ]

Dealing with the supernatural is easier then?

Well, living more than the normal human length of time is certainly weird, isn't it? Not used to things like that being corporeal. [ Humans weirdness is just normal. ]

I think we're going to have to depend on him to get us back, though...

[ which is probably the worst part of this, actually. ]

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhh, thank you!?!?

But I really don't need coin...

[personal profile] safetycheck 2025-03-08 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Pathetic.

[ HERE IS MY CONTRIBUTION... ]

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-08 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I...suppose?

[He really is trying to think SO hard about what that really means. Okay.]

There's a lot of furniture and things. Does having a lot of things mean something is beautiful?

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...this is awkward.

๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Looking around like someone help him out here? (No, don't. ) ]

If I'm not tryin' to kill 'em, yeah! You tryin' to kill us?
frostlight: (04)

[personal profile] frostlight 2025-03-08 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
So fix it. Or can't you do even that much?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhh, if you want to fix it, please go ahead!

[ Do your best, ganba, ganba! ]

Well... [ that's not a no, but it isn't what he means. and he's not too concerned about losing a couple of moments. ] My... skills. I thought they would include more. Did they include everything for you?

[ one chew, two chews, three chews in consideration, eyes on him as she does that. had she not considered the fact she needed to be concerned? then, a shrug, as if it's all very inconsequential. ]

I've got a strong stomach.

[ orโ€” ]

Tell you later if I have to be.

[ โ€”maybe it's slow-acting. she hadn't considered that one.

anyway, ]

Cursing your enemies to death is definitely easier.

Right. It's a pleasure, Witch. Cornelius Hickey.

[ He offers a handshake. ]

I'm a lieutenant on HMS Terror. We've been stuck in ice for two winters and our commander forced us to walk out. Impossible odds. More than half our men are dead.

It happens to the best of us!

[ ^_^ ! ]

Practice makes perfect, after all, does it not? I'm sure even the strange mage that followed me around made mistakes from time to time, even if I wasn't aware of them!

[ Damn nick, you got me. ]

...right, okay. [ He seems to shrink back at the light scolding. ]

What do you want?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Great! Then if you want, we can work on it together.

[ Rah, rah, team! ]

What is it that you need, then? And how can I get a word in with your boss?

[ * The true name.]

Yes.

[Don't worry about the plaque, nothing of note on there. Not that Chara looks remotely worried.]

Pleasure to meet you, Miss Sajyou.

[ he was going for simple tbh. ]

Heaven might be too much, ehe. A little slice of peace? Um, a moment of peace.

[ thinking too hard all the time gives him a headache. ]

Just my luck.

[ why would anything good happen to her? ]

Do you remember anything before coming here?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhh, right.

[ Said as if he totally forgot about all of what he said literally two minutes ago. ]

Well, umm. I usually just go by Witch everywhere, so it's basically my name at this point.
fourtuity: (avert ye eyes)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-08 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure what to say that.

[ She's so fucking confused hearing that she actually stops yelling for one second, looking between him and the other guy. ]

...I now pronounce you spouses for life?

[ Look, she said she didn't know. ]

[This is way too abstract for Tia, who frowns in bewilderment.]

Huh? . . . What, like you've stopped?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shaking his head. Twice! ]

I'm a Witch! [ This is Important. ]

In what way? It might have been the magic though...
