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.]

[Taking one step closer...]

I'm not taking anything out on anyone. I'm only looking for information regarding this situation. That's simple enough to understand, is it not?
antline: (fire)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-09 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. People kill people...I know that. But the humans I met...were kind.

[Even Falsch, with his insults.]

...I killed more than most humans ever would.

[personal profile] simulacres 2025-03-09 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if I do! But I do believe he's our best bet at getting out, and if you kill him then you're shooting all of us in the foot and taking away our best hint!

[ her voice is trembling, clearly terrified of being so close to a gun but, somehow, she stands her ground next to witch. ]

If you're willing to do that, then you're even stupider than he is!

[ sorry witch ]
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I can't give you anymore right now.

[ Standing his ground!!! He's brave. Okay no, he just flinched. ]

Urianger Augurelt. The man is quite tall, so you will know him when you come upon him.

[ It's hard to miss a guy that's nearly seven feet tall, after all. ]

As for the other name I recognize... I know of a Tiamat where I hail from, though this one is very obviously different.

[ Truth be told, it might be the woman in front of him if height and the statue are of any indication, but he doesn't want to make assumptions. ]

[ He thinks back on his plaque for a moment, but ultimately shakes his head. ]

No. There are quite a few missing, but I doubt that ever single spell I could cast would fit on a plaque of this size anyway.

[ "Physick" just takes up extraneous space. ]
littlegentleman: (61)

[personal profile] littlegentleman 2025-03-09 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
No, I don't...

[He can't imagine how that would help anything, but what does he know? If this is the only lead they have to go on, they might as well take it. Of course, some of the other more screaming types might be harder to convince than him.]

I don't know much about making friends, either.
antline: (pharoah)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-09 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, the ocean is quite beautiful.

[It is a shame, perhaps.]

It is more dangerous than a pool, though.
fourtuity: (one hour at a time)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-09 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really know the specifics of it, but maybe? Different chapels, different rules, I guess.
antline: (carpenter)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-09 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't think that's the name of the place where he is, but...


[...]



Oh. An ant. [STARING INTENTLY AT IT...]

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Since you don't know magic... if you all could get along that'd help me out a bunch. Part of the way my magic work is off of emotions and feelings.

[ Slow-acting is exactly what he's worried about, and he lets out a little sigh. ]

Please do. Mayhap there's an infirmary tucked away in a corner of this building and I can assist you.

[Honestly, Witch is doing pretty good considering gun to the face, but the way that response is worded does get Sousuke to pause for a moment.]

Why not?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
It didn't!

[ ouo. ]

You're imagining it.

[Oh. Well, we're doing this, he guesses.]
distain: (7)

[personal profile] distain 2025-03-09 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[seriously!! thank you!!!!

She may be using the ELI5 methodology instead of the shoot the guy method, but at least someone else is surprised that magic, of all things, is being taken at face value?

[personal profile] thesharpestroy 2025-03-09 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hold on, why did you let one of your hostages have a fucking gun?!

[She looks at Witch.] Are you stupid?!
snakeblood: (oh yeah?)

[personal profile] snakeblood 2025-03-09 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Then, you should count yourself luckier than most. Especially if you've really lived that long.

Is that what scares you? Their spirits coming to haunt you? They probably can't even remember who you are anymore.

[ Looks out at everyone else before Gun. ]

...well it's not like you're all going to go around killing each other right?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thirty something? Thirty something, I think...

[ Things he should probably know. ]

But that's a secret ✨.
distain: (2)

[personal profile] distain 2025-03-09 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Do I seem so cold...? [She brings her hands to her chest.] I am feeling a great many things already, I assure you.
frostlight: (02)

[personal profile] frostlight 2025-03-09 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[She glances vaguely at the statues lining the hallway. At best, she gave the plaques a cursory look, but she does recall a peculiar name attached to an impressive height.

Her eyes flit back to her conversation partner. Different is right: She doesn't know him at all.
]

Ice Dragon Tiamat, the future Ice Spirit Lord. That's me. Call me Tia.

[ she is actually asking the right questions here. why does this guy have a fucking gun. ]
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I can't?

[ That definitely sounds like a Challenge. ]

Everyone else believes me.

[ They do not. But some do, probably (?). ]
frostlight: (03)

[personal profile] frostlight 2025-03-09 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[An ant.

Since he's having such a grand time already, she's not going to bug him for long.

What's your name?
