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.]

We weren't brought here on purpose?

No. [ Blinking, owlish. ]

Did you thought you were?

Isn't that more reasonable than assuming it was an accident?

[This was all so strange...]

If you got hit by a carriage, wouldn't you think it was an accident?

[personal profile] littlegentleman 2025-03-08 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I would think it was premeditated event.

[Why else would a carriage be coming right for him? Anyway, he wouldn't just stand around letting a carriage hit him, but that's not the point of the argument.]

...really? Your life must really suck.

[ There's probably supposed to be sympathy here. ]

[Well now the child just looks sad. But maybe being pitied isn't as bad as someone assuming that he has things "so good".]

...so, if it was an accident...do you have any idea why we were pulled here, specifically?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
No, not really.

[ This conversation is going great. ]

Why, do you think that would help?
littlegentleman: (19)

[Junior shakes his head.]

I don't know, but more information couldn't hurt.

[Supernatural things were a part of his life, but it tended to revolve around science, not magic. This was all sort of...out of his element.]

Is there anything that we could do to help you undo this?
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Do you know magic? If you don't, then...

I think as long as you all get along, everything will work out.
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.
calamitish: (Default)

[personal profile] calamitish 2025-03-09 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Me either.

[ That's brutally honest. ]

But I'm sure there's some people here who'll be your friend. Even if you're the type of person who thinks everyone is out to get them.
