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.]

I'm more wondering how much it must've cost. Have you ever seen a place this lavish? Yourself, I mean?
[ He's only ever seen drawings. ]
no subject
Some theaters have been similar to this, but nothing else has been quite the same.
[Granted, that might also be because of Time Period Discrepancies. Expensive decor has changed a lot and become way more minimalist...]
no subject
[ And ones nice as this? Damn, she must be loaded. Or important. ]
no subject
[Not wealthy, not important—just a dancer.]
The older theaters... could be very elaborate.
no subject
Would you consider this place old?
no subject
[Which, well, DisCity is scarcely over a century old at this point...]
no subject
[ It's no place he's heard of before, but he's no expert in geography. ]
This place is familiar to me. I've never been somewhere so luxurious, but the style of it, you know. It's certainly not old.
no subject
[Don't Worry About It.]
I see... So, you'd know better than I am how abnormal a place like this must be. It seems almost... too luxurious, doesn't it?
no subject
I suppose it is abnormal, yes. I'd thought I was dreaming when I first awoke. I can't speak to the amount of luxury, though.
[ Maybe this is what rich people get up to?? How's he supposed to know? ]
