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.]

Yoinked...? Well, I guess so... What were you doing before this? Do you remember?

[ like he told her, things are kinda fuzzy for him - the moments leading up to this, rather than his entire past. ]

[The change in demeanor is undoubtedly suspicious, but apparently they can seek him out freely, so it's not an issue. And Sousuke certainly is getting along, so that's not an issue either.]

I won't. In exchange, I have one more question; where are my possessions?

[And he means all of them.]

[ social media? he wouldn't know. ]

You have the most normal thing, though. A family.
snakeblood: (mmhngh?)

[personal profile] snakeblood 2025-03-09 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
The cold is why I'm sleepy...

[ Bye though. Hope to see you never. Too bad for him won't happen. ]
antline: (army)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-09 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I will wait.





[He really is just kind of chilling here, like.....life might just be like This.]
snakeblood: (oh hmm)

[personal profile] snakeblood 2025-03-09 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Only that you're not human, but I can't tell.

... hmm? Limiters?
fourtuity: (yo that's sketchy as hell)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-09 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ If he hasn't been weird by now, it should be okay, so she'll comply.

Thankfully, all of that gives her enough wiggle room to, well, wiggle out. And so she does, frowning as she realizes she's still wearing shoes. Gross. Better than not having them, but still. Ew. ]


Phew, thanks a lot for the help. They totally overdid it with mine. What if I suffocated in my sleep?

[ She pokes the now empty pile of blanket gingerly, as if it could swallow her up again any moment. ]
antline: (fire)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-09 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Can't tell? I think you said something before...where you can sense things, yes.


[The question only makes him close his eyes, a little pained. He's not elaborating.]
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
...that was a really weird pause.

[ sorry siffrin. ]

Thanks though. But maybe I should be saying that to you too.
antline: (pharoah)

[personal profile] antline 2025-03-09 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Spot.....check? Are there spots here? I didn't see them.
fourtuity: (possibly a pink chihuahua in a past life)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-09 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
In a solarium. Which is hotter than most rooms. Cool, cool.

[ With an orange procured, it's time to walk outta here and hopefully meet someone way less infuriating. Hopefully they never meet again! Goddamnit. ]

[personal profile] simulacres 2025-03-09 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, no, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Seriously.

[ she shakes her head, trying to comfort the person in front of her. ]

It's my fault really. It's a complicated relationship because of how I am. [ ... ] But I do like being around him. If that helps.
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Happy Birthday!

[ he should not have chosen to be cheery there, and yet- ]
snakeblood: (just let me sleeeep)

[personal profile] snakeblood 2025-03-09 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Shut up already.

[ Look, he's cold even in the summer. Just ask... well you can't ask him. And probably don't want to ask if you did. ]
simulacres: (pic#17613479)

[personal profile] simulacres 2025-03-09 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Huh... so that sort of thing is more common for you?

[ ayaka still seems a bit flustered by that, but if this is common for anna then... ]

Where I'm from I don't think I've seen something at this level. So it's just surprising.

[ crossing his arms, which looks funny with the staff he's holding. ]

Choice is a little ambitious, but...we can talk about it when it's time. How about that?
fourtuity: (fight fight fight)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-09 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say that...

[ ...Okay, that actually does make her feel bad for all the skulls? Great, new impulse unlocked. ]

Yeah, we can be chill together. I'll go get...his friends so they can all be out in the open. Let's just make sure they can't be stepped on.

[ sariel is such a good...

after what is probably a long, long while, chu wenshan comes clamoring back with a human skull under his arm, a pool cue tied to his back, a butter knife, a breastplate, a cuckoo clock, and some bread in the shape of a lizard wrapped in a towel.

is sariel free by now?? who knows, not chu wenshan. ]


I'm back.

[ A long, long pause. ]

What? I'm from Japan.

[ what are those words she's saying.

regardless, she opens the door and ayaka's heart nearly stops but... oh. powder room. ]


This place has way too many rooms.
snakeblood: (oh yeah?)

2/2

[personal profile] snakeblood 2025-03-09 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it's normal to have one, yeah.
fourtuity: (innocent until proven guilty)

[ She just flips him off with an overly saccharine smile and goes on her merry way. ]

[She has a point. Tia has to think about perspective for a second.]

. . . I suppose that's to be expected for most people. Interdimensional travel isn't exactly common.

[ help.

he just kind of blinks at him. ]


I said I brought you here by accident, didn't I? Transportation magic is a lot of work! I'm not surprised a few things went missing.

snakeblood: (thinking)

[personal profile] snakeblood 2025-03-09 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's not like I can explain it well though. It's just like, if you know, you know?
