♪ 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.

What, do you think I carry taiyaki around in my pockets? [Kuroo laughs.] It's ice cream, birdbrain. I need to at least be somewhere close to a freezer.

Maybe we'll have to live off the land. Cats and owls are supposed to be great hunters, right? We could catch food for everybody. [Does Kuroo genuinely believe this is a thing that will happen, or is even a feasible possibility? Not really. Does he think it'll fire Bokuto's imagination and give him an idea to keep himself occupied with while they look for a better solution? Absolutely.]
vowlyball: (oya oya)

[personal profile] vowlyball 2016-08-14 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Urk! But having some would be so good right now.

[Bokuto was just going to shake his fist a little and whine, as if he expected with just that small display of displeasure ice cream would start raining from the sky.

He did perk up at the thought of catching food for everyone. Wow Kuroo, you know him too well.
]

Of course we could! We could at least find fruits or berries or plants that are edible!

[He paused, shooting Kuroo a sly look.]

I bet my money stash I can find more than you.

[Because what's the point of having money lying around if there's nothing to buy? Bokuto logic.]
nekohohoho: (Here in the moment)

[personal profile] nekohohoho 2016-08-19 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I know, I know. But hey, so long as this world has milk and ice and dough and oil, maybe we can make our own eventually. But we can stick to the basics for now.

[Kuroo's eyes glint at the challenge.] Only if you get Akaashi to be the judge. No pulling technicalities that you can chew bark so in theory it's food.
vowlyball: (smug / pleased / neutral)

[personal profile] vowlyball 2016-08-19 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, the basics.

[Bokuto didn't sound too thrilled about it, but he could agree to the point if Kuroo said it.

As for having Akaashi judge, Bokuto pouted slightly, crossing his arms over his chest.
]

I wouldn't! [He totally would.] But fine, I'll ask Akaashi. So I don't want to hear you crying later when you lose.
nekohohoho: (You are my getaway)

[personal profile] nekohohoho 2016-08-24 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Kuroo knows you too well, Bokuto. Probably because you've gotten him with these kinds of underhanded tactics before.]

Also, no poaching something I've already found. [Bokuto's fast hands have robbed Kuroo of meat, and probably many other things. Kuroo's taking no chances.] Do your own work~.
vowlyball: (restless / wants to spike)

[personal profile] vowlyball 2016-08-26 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Holy shit Kuroo have some faith in your bro.

Bokuto was just going to slouch over as if that accusation weighed heavily on him, pouting.
]

I wouldn't cheat in a competition!

[Mostly because Akaashi would call him out on it faster than Kuroo, and look, he had sportsmanship when it came to these things. Meat, however, was a war and a battle where no one was a friend.]

And no getting outside help! It's just a competition between us! No tricks!
nekohohoho: (But I've found my sweet escape)

[personal profile] nekohohoho 2016-09-02 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
You expect me to trust you, and then you sling all these accusations on my person? [Kuroo presses a hand over his heart.] When have I ever been anything but straightforward and honest, Bo?

[He can't even say it without grinning.]
vowlyball: (serious / listening / interested)

it okay to wrap this up? : O

[personal profile] vowlyball 2016-09-02 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[That was just going to be met with a flat stare.]

Do you really want me to answer that?

[Still, competition was more important than pointing out Kuroo's character flaws. He clapped him on the shoulder, already striding off.]

I'll find Akaashi and meet you back here!
nekohohoho: (these cluttered streets)

Yes~

[personal profile] nekohohoho 2016-09-11 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
You're on! [And Kuroo gets a head start, taking off with a grin.]
