♪ 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 noise from the kitchen is what draws Hisame's attention to it and he stops to take a look inside. Tatara and Mao followed in suit, both In-Training level Digimon peering inside from behind his leg.

They don't say anything as they watch Gremio sort through and rearrange the items within the kitchen.]

[Rude, just staring.

Actually, Gremio seems not to notice, busying himself with his rearranging partly to keep his mind off of the fact that he... can't find his Young Master. That he should be somewhere else, and yet he shouldn't be...]


Now, where is the saucepan... ah! [Gremio scoots off to one side to grab a saucepan from a high hook - why was it alone all the way up there? - and in that motion he catches a glimpse of something - someone watching him from the doorway. His axe is actually settled near there (as if it wouldn't get in the way if he kept it close!), and so he's much more softly juxtaposed when he turns his head to offer a smile. His blond hair is a little loose in its ponytail, and the scar on his cheek is still as prominent as ever.]

Oh, hello. If you're hungry, I'm sorry, but it's going to take some time...

[personal profile] devoursgods 2016-08-05 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello.

[He will finally step out from behind the door frame fully, his Digimon following him. He spares a small quick glance at the axe that was present in the room but isn't all that intimidated by it being there.

Food did sound nice and it had been a while since he and his partners last ate something.]


What are you making, if you don't mind me asking?

soldiernanny: (♪We can do it all together; do it all)

[personal profile] soldiernanny 2016-08-07 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well... nothing, so far.

[It's probably the twelfth time he's rearranged this kitchen, actually, if he's honest. It just... never seems right, and he's sure part of that is who's missing, not what.

That doesn't show too much on his face, though.]


I was thinking about making some stew, now that I have some ingredients.

[personal profile] devoursgods 2016-08-07 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Stew, huh?

[That did sound like something that would be good. Then again, any food was good food. Just not corn. If possible, he would like to have less corn with his meals or as a meal entirely.]

That sounds delicious.

I've been told mine is rather coveted in the Liberation Army. Viktor would usually have about three helpings.

[There's a sadness to it, a quiet guilt and bitterness that comes from loss. He wipes it from his face quickly enough.]

But, it will be a while before it's ready - I think I have some bread left from the nice innkeeper, if you need something to tide you over. [His eyes sweep over the young man with no ill intent, perhaps to see if he's malnourished, and he pauses on Tatara and Mao. That's a little strange, but it does remind him of that inventor's daughter. She had some... interesting friends.] There might even be enough for all three of you.

[personal profile] devoursgods 2016-08-28 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. We haven't had anything to eat since we woke up so that would definitely help.

[Gremio will find that Hisame isn't malnourished, just maybe a little bit on the skinny side. Tatara and Mao were different stories, it was hard to tell with them really what with actually being digital monsters.]
