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.

[She reaches in... before indecisively pulling her hand out again. Hmm.

He might be waiting a while.
]

Oh? Is that so?

[This time however, she finally spares a glance his way, taking his appearance and... immediately looking unimpressed.]

--Oh. You must be the perverted Toranosuke Miyamura-san.

[HIYONO.]

Hold on. [ he holds up a hand, the universal signal for "wait, let's clear up this misunderstanding like civilized human beings." look, this is serious. ]

I don't hit on 8-year-olds. Aren't you still wearing baby bloomers?

[ yes, he said all that with a straight face. ]
pseudoregelia: (You know it's OK to)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[The good news is, she's finally turning away from the fridge!

The bad news is, she's doing so to throw a full turkey leg at his face.
]
tangas: (11)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's not a "no."

[ good reflexes means he catches the turkey leg before it can bruise his beautiful face. ]

Turkey's alright for curry, but chicken is probably better.

[ so if she could throw him some chicken breasts or something, plz & ty? ]
pseudoregelia: (remember you by)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
If you want favors, you should be more courteous!

[Here, she'll even give you an example:]

"Yuizaki-san, please find it in your gracious and giving heart to take pity on my vulgar and pitiful soul, even though I don't deserve it whatsoever-!"
tangas: (11)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ wowee. ]

Ha, so cooking you curry is a favor now, Yuizaki-san? Are you sure you're Japanese?

[ technically, he's making it for himself, but he was going to share! well, probably. maybe. maybe not. ]
pseudoregelia: (Far from here)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Ignoring that completely to add, as an afterthought:]

Oh, and make sure you're groveling on your knees with your head on the ground while you say it.
tangas: (06)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but I'm not really into power play. [ crossing his arms in a huge X. ] And shouldn't we get to know each other first before I'm on my knees?
pseudoregelia: (lonely.)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't want to play around with you in any capacity.

[Gross.]

I suppose if you want to explain yourself, I might reward you with the chicken.

[...But nothing about curry.]
tangas: (06)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ but like he said before, he's not into kids anyway! he shakes his head. the large X remains. stay away!! ]

Explain myself about what, huh?

[ rewards?? lady, this is still power play. honestly, he'd like to think he ranks better than just mere chicken for a reward. c'mon. :( ]
pseudoregelia: (are not here?)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He clearly does not!]

You wanted us to get to know each other, didn't you?

I'm all ears.

[And clearly expecting him to go first.]
tangas: (09)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, I just wanted you to move, but I guess you're the type to hold fridges hostage or something.

[ well, whatever. you do you. ]

But sure, let's make it into a game. I answer one and you answer one. How's that?
pseudoregelia: (Ebbing and flowing)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[This fridge is hers now.]

What? No way! Someone like you will probably ask my three sizes right away!
tangas: (11)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuizaki-san, trust me. [ or, y'know, don't. ] I have 17 years of experience telling these things. I don't need to ask.
pseudoregelia: (the west if you want to)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to throw every single curry ingredient in here into the garbage.

[In case this couldn't get any more petty.]
tangas: (09)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wow?? ]

You could just say you don't like curry. I can make something else. I'm pretty good.
pseudoregelia: (And pass the horizon)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't matter how good you are. If I eat something made by a person with such a rotten personality, I think I'll be sick.

[P E T T Y]
tangas: (06)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, that's a little harsh, isn't it? I've been nothing but upfront. [ shrug. ] Can't help who I am. Isn't it worse to lie about it? Or to hide it?
pseudoregelia: (I'm going to hold)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
When it comes to matters like that, you should definitely hide it!
pseudoregelia: (Far from here where)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Because a maiden's heart is delicate, and saying such things will surely make her close her heart to you completely-!
tangas: (04)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-30 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I'm not interested in a relationship.

[ so it's all good. ]

You don't really seem like the delicate type. [ actually, she's rather aggressive for someone so small. ]
pseudoregelia: (You know)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-30 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me?!

[She shouts. Delicately.]
tangas: (06)

I love all of her icons omg

[personal profile] tangas 2017-07-31 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
That's my line, isn't it?

[ she's the one blocking the way. he'll gladly excuse her and wave her on her merry way. ]

What's your delicate maiden heart trying to shout now?
pseudoregelia: (if you find another galaxy)

Good because I do too

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-07-31 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's telling me you're the enemy of all women!

[DRAMATIC POINT.]
