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.]

[She stews on that for a bit.]

I doubt that's what it is. Still, it's something to bear in mind.

I feel it would be more obvious, were that the case, but...

[Well. Weird shit is afoot, and that's painfully obvious.]

Wherever this place my be, illusory or not, the decor is very... unique.

Is that what you'd call it? [Unique. Decor.] This place looks like it could have belonged to one of the nobles.

Well, it might not be the best description...

[She's trying to be diplomatic, here!]

Nobles, though...? I wasn't aware nobility still existed.

[Sweet Hamel is doing her best.]

They do in some worlds. Maybe yours just doesn't have them anymore.

There are certainly those who are wealthy and influential, but... It's not quite the same as nobility.

[Since people will dream of getting rich, becoming a noble lord is a bit less of a fantasy. She thinks.]

Hmm . . . Well, it's probably more of the same.

[Greed has a way with people like that. She doesn't care for it, so she moves onto something more curious.]

What's the MBCC?

[personal profile] stygiomedusa 2025-03-12 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, in all likelihood...

[It's a bit sad, in a way, that the worst always comes out of people.]

Ah? It's the Minos Bureau for Crisis Control; they're tasked with handling most things related to Sinners.

[A crisis control for sinners? That sounds like a whole story to uncover, which may or may not be anyone's business.]

. . . In other words, you and I have nothing to do with each other.

[This is informative yet problematic at the same time.]
