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.

Well, this was a sight. A horse with wings. The Young Kazegami didn't have wings. Chibiterasu looks up at Rainbow Dash and when that hoof is offered to him he sniffs it briefly.

"Woof."

He didn't have an owner but he was lost.
elementofloyalty: (uh i probably should have told you...)

Okay, cool, totally like an Equestrian dog. Oh, but... that raised a big question.

"Is your owner a... you know. One of those things. With the two legs and the no fur and..." Wings beating, she lifted herself onto her back legs, puffing out her chest and spreading her forelegs. Not the most flattering impression of a human but it was what she had.

[personal profile] kodomotaiyou 2016-07-30 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Rrr?"

What are you doing, colorful winged horse? Did you mean a human? Or a demon? Because none of those were his owners; gods didn't have owners.
elementofloyalty: (tailflip)

"One of those weird things that are all stomping around here! I don't know what they are." She huffed, the breath ruffling her mane where it dipped down in front as she looked thoroughly disgusted.

[personal profile] kodomotaiyou 2016-08-01 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, the humans? He did recall seeing some of them around. That made a lot more sense. Though her huffing and disgusted look gets a tilt of the head from him.
elementofloyalty: (flat what)

[personal profile] elementofloyalty 2016-08-01 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Come on! Don't you think it's weird there aren't any other ponies around here?" Seriously, why was this place so full of weirdos? Where were the other ponies?

Where were her friends? Anger was just a good way of hiding, even from herself, that she was scared and a little lonely.

[personal profile] kodomotaiyou 2016-08-04 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really, humans were a common sight for him. Ponies though, they were something he didn't ever see. And Rainbow was something he has definitely not seen back in Nippon. To him, she was like a brightly colored Kazegami with wings.

He does another head tilt and makes a soft whining sound.
elementofloyalty: (floating gasp!)

[personal profile] elementofloyalty 2016-08-05 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I know. This stinks." She was, of course, hearing what she wanted to hear. "Oh, hey -- you don't even have anypony to feed you here, do you?"

She reached down to give the dog (?) a scratch between his ears. Rainbow Dash had experience with Winona, after all, when it came to giving a pooch attention.

[personal profile] kodomotaiyou 2016-08-05 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, no. He didn't have anyone to feed him but there was always a way for him to get food. Chibiterasu wags his tail at the petting. It was a different sensation, not like his mother's nuzzles or when his friends would pet him.
elementofloyalty: (what i really meant was)

[personal profile] elementofloyalty 2016-08-05 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well." Rainbow Dash knew what the right thing to do was, even if she wasn't so sure she ought to be doing it. "Until we find your owner, you can be my dog if you wanna. I'll look out for you."
