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 could very well be the case. Although, a powerful mage could accomplish much and more.

[ So G'raha isn't ruling that possibility out. ]

Is there any reason for that? It doesn't sound...healthy.

[More like it doesn't sound conductive to being alive, is what he'd have said if he was less diplomatic]

[ She snickers. ]

You're welcome, and it's nice to meet ya.

[personal profile] diel 2025-03-19 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
No. Physically, no. But the potential was always there.
diel: (023)

[personal profile] diel 2025-03-19 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Then what do you mean you knew?
obtect: (ever seen you before)

[personal profile] obtect 2025-03-19 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
Part of the package of becoming an elemental superwoman. But since I can’t use my powers to look normal here, I guess that’s why.
obtect: (and if you don't)

[personal profile] obtect 2025-03-19 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
I’d say it’s nice to meet you to, if the circumstances weren’t…this.
obtect: (of something)

[personal profile] obtect 2025-03-19 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
What happened?
diel: (006)

[personal profile] diel 2025-03-19 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
We all… [ and then he cuts off, shaking his head. too much information. ]

What happened to you…?

[ if anything. ]

[She supposes it’s something some people would be private about.


Not her.]


Magical ziggurat.
fourtuity: (possibly a pink chihuahua in a past life)

[personal profile] fourtuity 2025-03-20 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeaaah, point taken. Hope we get this sorted out soon.

In my case it was easy to know something was done to me after bringing me here. I was...

[Scarlet gestures, a little lost, and decides to just be blunt]

I was in the brink of death. Now I am not. Not hard to guess I got medical attention, even though it was mediocre. They didn't even use stitches on me...

[personal profile] caporegrimme 2025-03-20 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
You don't look that out of the ordinary to me.

[That's because Scarlet is both not the sort to judge appearances as long as you're not a wolf, and because when you come from a land where there are characters based on fairy tales you probably lose every right to think anyone looks odd. Fairy tales aren't renowned for having average-looking characters]
obtect: (nothing to lose)

[personal profile] obtect 2025-03-20 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Are most people you’re familiar with covered in scales?
diel: (022)

[personal profile] diel 2025-03-21 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ziggurat...?

[ what...? ]

[ His eyebrows shoot up. More surprises out of this kid. Hickey takes a moment to think over the question. ]

I suppose a killer's respectability is up to the man himself. Me, I've got no love for my country. Killing in the name of it wouldn't be respectable at all.

[Junior considers this response for a long moment before he finally nods, a dark look crossing his face.]

I used to think I was doing something for the greater good.

[You'll save the world, Mr. Carpenter had told him. What absolute bullshit that had turned out to be.]

But now, I think I really hate my country.

[Or at least the government that ran it. So, considering that...maybe there was nothing respectable about him and the things he'd done.]

Most? No. But there are enough oddballs.

[His canon include people with animal ears, and he has known them for a few centuries probably. After that long of seeing some traits constantly, you stop paying much attention to the physical traits that'd make some raise their eyebrows]
obtect: (in my shoes)

[personal profile] obtect 2025-03-23 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
How familiar are you with ancient Mesopotamia?
obtect: (in my shoes)

[personal profile] obtect 2025-03-23 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Now I have questions. What’s your deal?
caporegrimme: 10 (10)

[personal profile] caporegrimme 2025-03-23 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Not sure where to begin. I guess first you can look at me and guess my age.

[That's not even close to an answer, Scarlet, but hey, it still is a way to establish Scarlet's existence is abnormal]
spotsalone: (083)

[personal profile] spotsalone 2025-03-24 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
There's a conundrum for you.

[ He shifts against the wall. What a conversation to be having with a child. ]

Situations change. Life is constantly pressing forward, ergo you ought to only look forward. Whatever your past motivations, they were true enough for you at the time, hm? They served you, and that's all that matters. It's irrelevant whether or not they serve you now.
diel: (026)

[personal profile] diel 2025-03-25 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ the same blank look. ]

If you’re gonna explain… maybe… dumb it down for me.
obtect: (ever seen you before)

[personal profile] obtect 2025-03-25 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
…12?

[She’s lowballing for comedic effect, sure, but he does look quite young.]
obtect: (ever seen you before)

[personal profile] obtect 2025-03-25 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
[…she pauses for a moment.]

A big magical ancient building gave me superpowers.
