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.

I am glad. This is the first time I have taught a cat to meditate. Tell me, did you arrive from somewhere else or

[ They have meditated together, yet they have not done introductions. ]

[chattychat]

Oh, no, I am from another realm entirely.

[He takes a moment to look over the rest of the hill, with its emerald green grass and the soft rustling leaves in the breeze.]

I must admit, this is an appreciated change of scenery. Perhaps I was destined to arrive at such a new place which seems struggling to be born.

[orbislife]

A place struggling to be born? What do you mean?

[ The surrounding land does look uninhabited, but unsettled means something completely different than struggling to be born. ]

[chattychat]

Does it not seem that way?

[His ears twitch.]

It seems fresh and full of potential, but unable to push itself forward by its own means. Ah, but perhaps my past experiences with the world have given me bias.

[orbislife]

[ Zenyatta gives a long hum and does not say anything for awhile. ]

So you mean something other than uninhabited and undeveloped by man or machine?

[chattychat]

It is a possibility, yes? [He starts to knead at the grass.] In an already impossible situation, anything can occur.

[orbislife]

That is true. We do find ourselves in a strange situation. It will be hard to say without further information.

[chattychat]

To our benefit, at least there are many who are likewise trapped. So long as teamwork is implemented, I imagine we’ll find out much more much faster in comparison if we were few in number.

[orbislife]

I am in agreement. By working together, we can accomplish more than the sum of our individual efforts.

[chattychat]

Now the difficulty lies in drawing others to such a beneficial point of view.

[orbislife]

One step at a time. To force change is to bring opposition. They must realize the change for themselves.

[chattychat]

Hopefully, laying such things out in a logical manner will help quicken the process. But for now, there is no need to rush things.

[orbislife]

I am in agreement. For now, I am content with bringing my soul into balance and discovering others to share the experience with.

[ Meditation for the win. ]
