♪ Our house ♪ in middle of this tree ♪ our house

Who: Everyone
What: The first morning of an adventure begins.
Where: Home
When: Day 1
Other: Be courteous and warn for any of the usuals in your thread subject title if it gets to that point.




You wake up to a serene and idyllic morning.

Outside, a pleasant glow from the sun fills the room including the small crannies in which the beds are tucked. All windows have been latched close, but it's easy to see a gentle breeze ruffling the leaves of branches which loom overhead. Faintly, bird song can be heard from outside. In this place, it'd be a simple matter to close your eyes again and drift back to sleep.

There's simply one problem: this is not where you last went to sleep.

Waking up properly will display not only how the picturesque and cozy little room stands out in stark contrast to where you should be, but that you are sharing this space with someone else. Depending on things, they might be very mundane or very... unusual. Either way, they seem just as bewildered as you are. The good news is that at least all the things you immediately had on you at the time are right nearby the foot of your bed along with what seems like a small gift- a small pouch of some sort of coin. (500 Lucre, although that might not be immediately realized anytime soon.)

Exploring the rest of the house shows it to be otherwise quite empty, except for some writing utensils and paper in what appears to be the study along with basic kitchen tools in, well, the kitchen. There's no food, however, and no decoration. Venturing outside onto the grounds reveals an expansive but not particularly well tended estate including another building that is fairly run down. Attempting to venture down the path from the front door out into the world reveals... well. Nothing. It's a fruitless endeavor.

However, not for long.

Hajime Iwaizumi will be the one to find what appear to be a few discarded children's toy blocks. The Colorblocks immediately seem off in some way, strange even as they should seem inconspicuous. Something about them will compel him to pick them up. The nature of this apparent toy will not be obvious until he ventures near the edge of Home himself. A sound, almost like distant bellchimes, will start to emit from the Colorblocks.

When exposed to the air, suddenly they emit a glow and shoot off into the sky with all the brilliance of a falling star. Its trail is both noticeable and easy to follow, curving an arc through the sky until it falls some distance away... and its impact bursts an aurora of colors through the distant and dimmer sky, encircling the site. As the whirlwind of color fades, what appears to be a town can be just made out...

That is the town of Domina.


Some OOC notes:
➸ Prior to the activation of the Colorblocks, the only books which will be filled out in the Study will be "Artifacts" and "Visitors".
➸ After Domina has been unlocked and some characters have explored the town, "People" and "Locations" will be filled out in the Study as well.
➸ To see who your character is initially rooming with, check the Home page. These rooming assignments are not permanent or mandatory by any means, and characters can change them whenever. Officially letting me know will be present and explained in the next mod post coming in a week's time, but for now we can play it relaxed and loose. Just don't burn down the tree in the meantime.

The study... then there's where I'm headed. Eventually. That should make my work easier.

[ Noting down that number though. Five... six... plus this guy and himself, that makes eight.

A pause as he looks up at the human. One ear flat, the other perked; a look of curiosity. ]


Something on your mind?

Mm. It isn't as illuminating as I had hoped, but it's helpful.

[Ah. He pauses at the look, the words, a sheepish smile gracing his scarred face.]

... My apologies. I... did not wish to be rude, but I have never met a creature like yourself. [One that wasn't a feral monster, that is.] If it isn't too unkind, may I ask what you are?

Additionally, my name is Gremio. [He bows his head, the very picture of politeness in that. Some things you just never quite forget.]

It's a start. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure this tree had a study to begin with, much less books.

[ Both ears perk up briefly before dropping back down at that question and Gremio's introduction before he tucks his papers and that pencil under one arm before extending a clawed hand out for a handshake. ]

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Gremio. I am Rixx of the Durmand Priory. As I'm quickly starting to realize, it seems that none of you have ever seen my kind before. My people are called asura. We have humans in our world that look no different from you... so I would assume that you are human?

[To his credit, there's no hesitation in taking the proffered hand, claws or not. Gremio even gives a warm smile.]

A pleasure to make yours as well, Rixx. An Asura. [The latter, more for his confirmation. He nods at the further question, smile a little sheepish.] Ah, yes, I am human. I suppose humans simply look the same no matter where they are... but I suspect it's much the same with elves, in that case, or Kobolds.

[Not so much Kobolds, tbh. Most of the time those are, y'know. Reptiles. Not... dogpeople.... Suikoden...]
