Mesdames et Messieurs, Voilà, 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 Château 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 Château 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.]

[ that's not how it works aaaa ]

You act like it's so easy to forget to your name.
I feel like we're being scammed...

So you're stuck with us.

[ this is the worst. ]

Did you make the bread?

[ Yikes, being lectured by Cain... ]

I showed my face, didn't I? I could have just hidden away if I wanted to. [ Very Pouty. ]

You can just call me Witch.

[ whoa whoa whoa no talking about kinks in this holy castle ]

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying!

I just haven't succeeded yet.

[ Huff. ]
fourtuity: (normal teenager here)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-08 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Suuuure you don't. And guess what? You can pay for my silence immediately if you bring us back!

[ She's still speaking in a surfer dude accent... ]

Is that so... How many have you...?
antemeridian: (↻ the rule that you live by)

[personal profile] antemeridian 2025-03-08 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... So we were brought here because you don't know what you're doing.

[ okay, ]

Why were you practicing this spell, specifically? And have you done anything else like it before?

[ or was 'Witch' here just flying completely blind for the funzies. ]

[Sometimes you are #unbothered....maybe.]

...No. Not the...actual rainbow. [....] Where...the Deputy Head Researcher is.

[Don't you huff when you're responsible.]

Then what are you still doing here?

[Get to work.]
whileaway: (pic#)

[personal profile] whileaway 2025-03-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope~✨ Not at all!

[Have a very pretty smile, and way too much malice in such a cheery tone]

Try again, little Witch.

[ she's right, and she should say it, but homura isn't going to just because answers are more important to her right now.

thanks for saying it for the rest of them though lili. ]

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
She's really busy, so you might need to wait a couple thousand years or so.

[ Long line. ]

Time, really. I used pretty much all of my magic for this spell, so I don't really have anything left.
diel: (042)

[personal profile] diel 2025-03-08 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh... she got friendzoned...? ]

It's - it's okay to take your time figuring it out.
antline: (ghost)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-08 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I will find him. And I will ask him why he saved my life.

[#king of explaining nothing]

[personal profile] simulacres 2025-03-08 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that sounds, um... complicated?

[ and yet enough to distract ayaka from her fragile mental state. she blinks at the woman, impressed by the way that she talks. in a way it reminds her of that rider; gallant and authoritative. ]

I'm sorry for earlier, by the way. I didn't mean to bother.
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...how should I know!?!
antline: (ghost)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-08 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Only natural...?

[He remembers Falsch, with his regrets. What this man says rings true, too.]

It's sad that they have regrets. I've seen it...weigh people down.
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...really? Your life must really suck.

[ There's probably supposed to be sympathy here. ]
snakeblood: (hmmm)

[personal profile] snakeblood 2025-03-08 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't personally killed anyone, if that's what you're asking. [ Not for a lack of trying though. ] If you mean as result of curses... well, I very well can't ask Yuri to bring in the books. [ So inconvenient. ]
simulacres: (pic#17729109)

[personal profile] simulacres 2025-03-08 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess I don't really have a choice.

[ she shrugs, heaving a sigh. she would be mortified if she knew about this misunderstanding, but she's able to continue to live cluelessly. ]

What about you? Do you know anyone here?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-08 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know, I know.

[ Gestures a bit to

Everyone. ]
antline: (army)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-08 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
He said he was sorry.

[Come on, guys.]
simulacres: (pic#17612564)

[personal profile] simulacres 2025-03-08 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Likewise.

[ she nods. ]
fourtuity: (moment's respite)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-08 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, it better not be a stupid ritual. I've had it up to here with rituals!

[ She raises her left hand as high as it can go. ]
