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.]

No, I'm a Witch!

[ Sorry :(. ]

And as for how powerful....well I brought you all here right? So that speaks for itself!

[ Should he be proud of this. ]

Are you hearing yourself!? You shoot him and then weโ€™re all stuck here! Are you an idiot!?

[ Cain narrows his eyes... How tf did he bold his speech like that? Probably the most suspicious thing. ]

If it means getting everyone out of here and back where we belong, I'll do what I can to help.

[ He sticks out his hand. To shake! And also see this guy's face. ]

I don't usually yell.

[ Gulp. ]

...I'm not telling you. If you want to take it out on anyone, then take it out on me.

[Does it really not bother him? They're basically a caricature. That they're able to hold this conversation, though, and that her dizziness from waking is beginning to wane -

Andrew presses a hand to her forehead.

I worried I was drugged, but I really wasn't, was I?

[He is...a cat...person.]

[What does a cunning smile look like.]

Of course not. You can't reach the Celestial World on foot.

[........

that's not very reassuring??? but. okay.]


I see. Then... do you have a way to measure M-values?

[She's a very courteous Sinner and she doesn't want to start deteriorating and going bonkers??? That would be bad.]
thesharpestroy: (really now)

[personal profile] thesharpestroy 2025-03-09 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Show me a magic trick.

[What's the worst that could happen--]

I do, though I've not had many opportunities to hop into a pool like this.

[It's a little silly and childish, but some people never got to have normal childhoods???]

It's a shame we're not on a coast and just have a pool, but it's still nice.

[ ??? She's confused, but well, whoever this is seems okay? So she'll try to explain. ]

Uhh...think something mechanical that's meant to do something over and over? In this case, moving food to mouth.

[ With exaggerated motions, she rips and places bits of bread in her mouth. ]

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Shit talking isn't parroting someone.

[ Eyeroll. ]

And I'll fix it, when I can. That's enough right?

Why'd it take you so long to say no?

[personal profile] caporegrimme 2025-03-09 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hardly.

[That was so lacking in details! Scarlet stares, silently prompting to elaborate a little more]
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

[ Breath out, relieved. ]

I think there's food in the kitchens but there's a lot of you...I can probably provide some food each day, I think.

You believe him when he says he can fix this? Don't be absurd.

[magic doesn't exist!!!!]

[ He's bad at arguing but he's completely valid here tbh.

Sorry :(. From me, limon. ]
antemeridian: (โ†ป now you lead the way)

[ oh, what do you know, someone else jumped to more drastic measures already.

can't really blame him, but... ]

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-09 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
It absolutely falls under the umbrella of shit talking!

[ Siiiiiigh, why does she keep getting dragged into bullshit. ]

Maybe if you gave a proper, transparent schedule? You can't just politician your way outta this.
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Usually...

[ Sounds sus.

Looking at the handshake also. ]


I don't do handshakes, sorry.

What spell would you be trying to perfect that kidnaps more than twenty people? Seems a bit suspicious in my mind.

[ your ouo holds no sway over him!!! ]

[oh :( She would have loved to share that news...]

But it sounds like returning us won't be as easy as bringing us. I've found... once you do something, it becomes much easier to do it a second time. [But, again, what does she know about magic?]

How can we expedite this and make the task simpler for you?

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shaking his head. ]

I won't do anything to hurt you.

[ A beat. ]

And everyone's getting along, right?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Do you know magic? If you don't, then...

I think as long as you all get along, everything will work out.

[ On one hand, yeah, they need answers. On the other hand, yeah, they probably need him alive still. Approval and disapproval kinda cancel out into neutrality, maybe?

Either way... Palm to forehead, this once again sucks! ]

[personal profile] oncefallen 2025-03-09 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... I do wonder about that.

[JUST LOOKING AT EVERYONE ELSE...]
