♪ 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.

[goddamn that was the coolest looking weapon he's ever seen. he could barely tear his eyes away from it. he wondered how much one of those cost- and it probably weighed a lot... was it sharp? it looked sharp.

maybe if he asked nicely he could hold it--

wait.

...what?]


War? Do... you do reenactments or are you in a show or something.

[wars nowadays used guns and explosives and scary stuff like that, so...]

I guess so. I'm a high school student.

Reenactments...? [He blinks once, then again. What.]

I'm not much of an actor, really. [There was that one time he honestly sounded like he was going to cut his Young Master's head off, but that was fueled by panic and the need to not have said Young Master recognised.]

High school... I don't know that I've heard of that. But if you've received teaching... are you from a wealthier family?

[Well, he could have a teacher like Mathiu, but that was less likely.]

[it kind of felt like there was a wire crossed somewhere or that maybe he was talking to someone not from the same... era? that he was from. and with all things considered nothing would surprise him anymore.

unless he saw godzilla.

but that would be awesome.]


Nah. My family is middle class at best. Where I'm from kids my age all go to school usually.

[ALL of them? ???? Gremio looks quite surprised by that. Which, either he's a really good actor or he really isn't from the same era.

Also no. No Godzilla. Iwaizumi no.]


Ah... really? The country you hail from must be a well-developed one, indeed... I doubt Highland would be able to send all of its children to school.

[Actually, what he doubts is that it would, but that's because of the class system and everything else, so!]
