Beginning

One moment you were elsewhere, surely speaking to your friends, fighting in a battle of your life, dying, or even in a state of non-existence in its entirety. It doesn't matter now, since when you open your eyes it’s become clear that not only is everything around you foreign and unfamiliar, so is everyone. And there seems to be a fair lot of you, at that.

It's easy to discern a few things upon a cursory glance, once you pick yourself up from the field of grass you're resting on. The place you've awoken in seems to be fairly tranquil, for the first few moments at least, and the view of a newly budded sakura tree is among the first that will greet you. In the distance, is a towering castle that manages to look all at once both imposing and welcoming at the same time. There's also an odd pendant around your neck, which you'll find won't come off despite your best attempts. In your pocket you'll find a room key, engraved with a number.

The weather is currently cool, with the sun brightly shining in the sky, though there are a few too many clouds to make it a completely clear day. While most of them appear rather normal, every so often you might spot one that looks just a bit off— like a storm cloud that's completely lost it's way. Lucky for you, it doesn't seem like you're going to have to worry about any inclement weather anytime soon, as they'll vanish from your vision as quickly as they came.

A large stone wall surrounds the entirety of the castle, though it's anyone guess why that is— maybe it's for your safety, maybe it's to keep you trapped, or maybe it's for another reason entirely. The only breach in the wall is a single gate that looks like it certainly led to the outside at one point, but that too has been cordoned off by solid stone.

Fortunately, there's nothing to stop you from entering the castle itself, where you'll find it's pretty grand all things considered. The lighting inside is provided not by electricity, but by magical flame that adjusts to the time of day or night. Actually, if you're looking for anything electronic anywhere, or even a simple power outlet, you'll be sorely out of luck.

For now, it might be best to explore and make some sense of where you are and why you're here— maybe one of your fellow travelers might know something? There are some plaques in the Great Hall that might catch your interest given their focus, in addition to one ridiculously large golden one that seems to bear rules.

Welcome, fellow warriors, to your very long stay.

[w.....hy..........]

Is that seriously how you like dressing? [Somehow said with less judgement now though?? She still thinks it's ugly but she can deal with someone just choosing that.]
maddogs: (i got your body on my mind)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-03 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! [ yes.... ] People get all fuckin' bothered by it an' it's nothing.
blacksong: (watches mikhail take a piss)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-04 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
You have some weirdass taste, but I guess you're not wrong. [She can admit that much at least.....]
maddogs: (get me there fast)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-05 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
It gets the point across.

[ beat ]

I like your flower. That's pretty rad.
blacksong: (don't take that tone with me young man)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-05 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a fashion statement. [Don't be fooled, this flower is pure evil!]
maddogs: (and if you want me)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-07 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Did ya lose an eye, too?

[ she can join the club which is right now one person and thats him ]
blacksong: (pic#11614371)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-07 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
... Sort of. [That's one way to put it at least.] This thing made me lose my eye.
maddogs: (i want to want me)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-07 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ luckily for her majima is capable of being serious about serious things ]

No shit? Could it still hurt ya?
blacksong: (pic#11615016)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-07 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes. [She says it easily and with a shrug. It's just something she's gotten used to.] It's been fine since I woke up here though.

[Which is really fucking weird and only adds to how fishy this whole thing is.]
maddogs: (gets me so high (so high))

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-07 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ honestly he just respects her for that. losing an eye is tough shit and talking about it like it isn't a big deal makes you badass. ]

Bein' here seems ta be fixin' a lot of things. Buddy of mine was dead an' now he's not.
blacksong: (don't take that tone with me young man)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-07 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
The fuck? Seriously? [ANYTHING THAT CAN BRING PEOPLE BACK TO LIFE IS NO GOOD IN HER BOOK. Her personal experience attests to that.] This place is fucking weird, I don't like it one bit.
maddogs: (i want it bad)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-08 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, it's pretty fuckin' spooky, sure. But Nishitani bein' back ain't a bad thing.
blacksong: (pic#11614372)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-09 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Does he wanna be back?
maddogs: (gets me so high (so high))

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-09 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Seems like he does.
blacksong: ([pretends i'm not about to explode])

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-09 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. Then I guess that's not the worst thing that could happen. [Most people would probably be happy to not be dead, Zero...... She has a bit of a different opinion on it, but that doesn't really matter.]
maddogs: (oh just the thought of you)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-09 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Death's easy, huh?

[ living isn't. he knows that pretty well. ]
blacksong: (thanks for the airship)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-09 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's the easiest thing a person can do, that's for sure.
maddogs: (gets me so high (so high))

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-09 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
An' livin' seems like it's gettin' a damn lot more complicated.
blacksong: (blood is power)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-09 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Living's only as complicated as you make it for yourself.
maddogs: (its a hundred degrees)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-09 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ majima just shrugs ]

Ah, then I guess ya shouldn't worry too much.
blacksong: (octa wants to fuck a black hole??)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-09 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not. If anything's gonna make living complicated, it's this dumb place.
maddogs: (cause i gotta leave yeah)

[personal profile] maddogs 2017-08-09 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Guess we'll see, huh?
