♪ 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.

Whoops
[That's okay, Oikawa's chalking all this up to 'This kid is an alien, despite the Japanese name because aliens in anime have Japanese names sometimes. So he's taking everything Ken says under serious consideration]
Well, I've got one of the strongest minds I know.
[It's filled with Volleyball and how to tease Iwa-chan, but still, it's a decent mind all things considered]
Let's see if we can break through this.
Re: Whoops
So how're you gonna do it, byon? [Ken's somewhere between skeptical and curious. On the one hand, he doesn't really trust the intellectual superiority of others over himself except in Chikusa and Mukuro(and even in Chikusa's case, it's kind of grudging). However, he doesn't know anything about this guy, and if he could potentially break this illusion, that'd be useful. And without knowing his limits, Ken's got no idea if that's likely or not, so he's willing to humor the possibility that he might. He's at least willing to spectate an attempt, if Oikawa's going to talk big.]
no subject
[He's a pretty boy, Ken, and an exceptional athlete and pretty smart too.
Maybe not the most intelligent person around, but he likes to think he's ahead of at least 80% of the population. Also he's been on TV, that's what got a lot of girls' attention.]
Hmm... I'm not sure yet. I'm still convinced we've been abducted by aliens personally. But illusions can't be ruled out either. Maybe this is an illusion cast by the aliens!
[He rubs his chin thoughtfully] I think I'll start by meditating.
[And he sits down, crossing his legs and hands in his lap. He takes a breath and closes his eyes.]
no subject
When Oikawa sits down and starts meditating, however, that contemplative look disappears into incredulity.] You're just gonna sit there?!
[Ken is allergic to inactivity in any case, but what he knows of the illusions of his world is that doing nothing - or meditation, but in Ken's mind they're the same thing - isn't really how you break them.
Illusions in Ken's world are very different from anything Oikawa is probably picturing.]
Chikusa says aliens don't exist, byon. [Ken's referring to the kind of alien stories one sees in tabloids. Which...Ken probably thought were true until Chikusa told him otherwise.] But you can sit there and be boring if you want. [He snorts.] I'm gonna hunt down the illusionist and kill them, byon.
no subject
[He cracks an eye open at Ken]
This Chikusa fellow sounds narrow-minded. Trust me. I'm an expert on aliens.
[He sighs and tries to concentrate.] I'm trying to build up my mental strength, Mad Dog 2-chan. That way I can break the illusion.
[Wait, kill?]
NO! You can't kill the aliens! They probably just want our help!
no subject
Ken almost finds Oikawa's nickname of him kind of cool. It's better than most of the ones he gets, anyway.] What do you mean, two?
[Then he huffs at Oikawa's insistence that he not kill the aliens.] Even if it is aliens, if they wanted our help why'd they put us in this weird illusion place?
no subject
[He shoots Ken a smile]
Because you're the second Mad Dog-chan, I know. The other is Kyoutani Kentarou. He was a rowdy thing. Knocked over poor Kindaichi-chan because he wanted the chance to hit the ball.
[Poor Kindaichi, he's the butt monkey of the team.]
Anyways. They're probably testing us. To see if we're worthy.
no subject
At least Oikawa's stopped him through curiosity, if nothing else.] Worthy of what?
no subject
[He gives Ken a patient smile]
Worthy of being their heroes.
no subject
He frowns at Oikawa.] What'd aliens need heroes for?
