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.

But it isn't all garbage! Some magic can be fun. [ Magic is super real and he likes some of it!! ]

Like what? [Please inform her, all magic in her experience SUCKS.]
hoodini: smug, sparkling (♢ it's not worth tryin' for)

Body swapping! [ Well. Kind of fun. Sometimes. ... he got some good selfies from it. ]
blacksong: ([pretends i'm not about to explode])

That sounds creepy as hell. [She does not want to be in someone else's body, no thanks. Or worse, having some random fucker in her body?? DOUBLE NO THANKS.]
hoodini: smiling, confident (♦ say that you love me!)

[personal profile] hoodini 2017-08-07 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Then how about a charm spell? It's the ability to make anyone you want fall in love with you!
blacksong: (disgusting)

[personal profile] blacksong 2017-08-09 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
And why would I want someone to fall in love with me?
hoodini: overeager puppy that doesnt know when to quit and also thinks its doing a good job (it isnt) (♦ i know)

[ "Because it's fun" is not a viable response here, is it... ]

Uh. Wait, wait! I've got it! A submission power! You can make anyone you want submit to your will and do what you say.

Not interested. [Since tbh she already kind of gets that just by scaring the shit out of people. And then if they STILL don't listen to her she just. Kills them, oops.

Not to mention that her own magic COULD make that happen regardless, and she doesn't like it.]
hoodini: what was that (♦ a man that surely deserves me)

[personal profile] hoodini 2017-08-09 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ In fairness, everything he's said so far could be used for evil. Good thing he's from a comedy manga!

He's running out of ideas. ]
Telepathy?
blacksong: (guess who's ready to stab)

What, and have to deal with even more people talking nonstop to me about stupid shit? No thanks.

[Is she referring to Jin here or someone else... It's actually someone else (thanks Five and Mikhail), but it sure does apply here too.]
hoodini: skeptical, uncertain, unsure (♦ pretend that you love me)

[personal profile] hoodini 2017-08-10 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
... Well, it does sound annoying. [ He wouldn't want to hear someone else's thoughts, not even Miyamura-kun's. For obvious reason. ]

I don't think I know any other fun powers, though. [ Memory erasing and clairvoyance aren't thrilling, rip. ]
blacksong: (UTTER CONTEMPT)

Like I said, all magic is bullshit.
