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.

Okay, they didn't give me reason to worry. [Sure, he has reason, but it doesn't come from the other people here. Picky, picky, Sara! He shifts slightly to bump her shoulder with his hip, because that's the sort of affectionate gesture you get at their size difference.]

[Sara has a few moments to smirk at him, before that hip check has her staggering a little. What also comes with size difference is weight difference, and with his build, Dread is at least three of her.

She grabs at his hips, steadying herself, and then smacks his rump, because, well. She's his wife, she can get away with these things.]


But that's the way you are. [He usually does it for both of them, so she tries to distract him, when she can.]

So, we're splitting up? Reconnoitering later? That's the plan?
thebiggestguy: (mr. bond says hello)

[personal profile] thebiggestguy 2016-08-09 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dread nods despite his little smile. And even though he'd just agreed to split up, he slides one hand to her back, keeping her close.]

For a little while.

[It's the better plan, but that doesn't mean he really WANTS to separate from her. On that note, he drops to a knee, the better to tug her in for a proper kiss.]
sweetnessandfight: (uncertain)

It had better be. [That's almost a whisper, with the emotion that suddenly chokes her. Sara doesn't really want to separate either, though she knows full well there's wisdom in it. Even back home, they didn't spend a great deal of time together, since there was always so much that divided their attention. But there, they were only a teleport away. Here...the distance would be greater, she knew.]

I love you. Don't forget that.

[With that, she steps into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck, and simply...kissing her husband, for a while.]
thebiggestguy: (it's the guy)

[personal profile] thebiggestguy 2016-08-11 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[They do have a tendency to lose track of their plans thanks to each other, don't they? Dread isn't in a hurry to separate from his wife, though he eventually, reluctantly does. With a big dumb smile on his face.]

I love you too.
