♪ 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.

"I have no idea myself. We seem to be in a cabin of sorts." August still is nervous, still is thinking how to be closer to door when Ken lets go of the confusion.
no subject
Ken gives August a long, suspicious look, and then straightens out of his battle-ready crouch and...sniffs the air. This isn't like he's scenting the air the way an animal would; that is 100% legitimately what he's doing.
This actually seems to leave him more upset than before, though now he's leaning more towards distress than violence if his tone is anything to judge by. "I don't recognize anything, byon!"
From Ken's point of view, he has even more to be upset about than other people. Not seeing anything immediately familiar is disorienting enough to the new arrivals, certainly...but to animal senses, not being able to smell anything familiar is infinitely worse. If Ken was abducted and locked in a building he'd never seen before, and yet was still in Japan, he'd be able to smell some familiar Japanese scents even if he was only catching the air from outside. Cars, foods, flora, fragrances, even the smell of the earth. There would be something to at least allow him to recognize that he was still in the same country.
Here, all that Ken smells that is remotely familiar to him is the smell of growing plants, and the types of plants don't even smell like ones he knows. He knows that dirt and greenery are present, there's traces of woodsmoke from a fire either lit or having been lit sometime in the nose's memory, and that's really all he knows. And that's infinitely more alarming than simply lacking visual recognition of his surroundings.
