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.

[ Ears flat. Rude.

But he's not going to comment on that. Instead, he's just going to do a forward flip, landing himself on top of a nearby stool which should be enough to get him to reach the shelf he was aiming for.

However, he will turn his attention to this rude human. ]


I don't suppose those books have anything in them either?

[Sorry, Rico. That’s what happens when children raise themselves. He continues to ignore the other right until he’s done flipping through the book. Rico manages to speak up just in time before he can put it away, and he pauses.]

...A single entry.

A single entry?

[ Ears perking straight up now. Like a rabbit's. ]

On what? Anything useful?

[In his mind, Chikusa weighs the benefits of which would be more annoying: reading aloud, or handing over the book. Eventually, the latter wins out, and he holds out the Artifacts book.]

...It doesn’t make sense to me.

[ He does manage to leap up, aiming to snatch the book for himself. ]

I wouldn't be surprised if a human couldn't make sense of it without several readings.
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2016-08-11 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, rude. Says the rude teenager. Still, Chikusa doesn’t openly look offended.]

Feel free to explain, then.

[ A sigh as he starts to thumb through the tome, his brow furrowing as he flips through the pages. There isn't anything else. Just that one entry.

But he does finally mutter out something. ]


...something about blocks....
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2016-08-15 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Not much of an explanation.

[It’s utterly deadpan, but don’t be fooled. That’s some sass.]
