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.

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

It's telling me you're the enemy of all women!

[DRAMATIC POINT.]

[ wait, that implies he only thinks lewd thoughts about women though. CORRECTION: ]

I'm a little more greedy than that. A guy's junk isn't bad to look at either.

[ he'd ask if she wants a look, but then she'd throw fish at him or something. and fish curry ain't that great. ]
pseudoregelia: (Ebbing and flowing)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-01 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Is there no end to your lewd thoughts?!

[Now at pterodactyl screech-volume.]
tangas: (01)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-08-01 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ honestly? no. ]

Ah... Next you're going to tell me about a guy's delicate heart or something.
pseudoregelia: (I'm still alive)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-01 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Actually!]

Men's hearts can be broken, too.
tangas: (03)

[personal profile] tangas 2017-08-01 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's quiet for a moment. he knows how fragile a heart can be. ]

Yeah, I know, but I'm not really interesting in taking hearts or breaking them. Have you broken any hearts?
pseudoregelia: ('til I can't even see you)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-01 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't.

[It's accompanied by a sigh.]

It's more like my heart is the one being broken.

Ah. See, I never want to make anyone feel like that. [ he grins, but it's a little more real than before. ] Being in love is the best feeling in the world.

[ wink! ]
pseudoregelia: (you know I'd)

[personal profile] pseudoregelia 2017-08-01 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
But it can be so difficult, too!

[Weh.]

Still... Love asks nothing in return.
