♪ 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.

[With that, she heads for the door to the study, and then continues outside the tree proper. Sara does pause once outside the door, to both look around and smell the air.]
Smells like an early morning in the Gridanian forest. Maybe not so 'old woodlands', but still woodsy and clean.
[It made her a little homesick, truly, for her little house in Gridania again. But there was no use dwelling. She started off around the tree, pausing at the staved-in workshop.]
Huh. Not certain even I could get in there, but do you want to poke your nose in the cracks?
no subject
By all means, it is what I am best suited for!
[Leaping off, he starts to sniff at the debris there and tentatively tests things with one paw.]
I believe I can slip through some areas, if you would not mind waiting but a moment.
no subject
No, I shall wait. Hopefully you won't have any trouble within. But if you do, I can do no less than to try and help!
[She might even be able to move some of those tumbled rocks, roots or no. She's petite, but stronger than she looks.]
no subject
I shall do my best not to dally.
[And with that, he starts to squeeze in through some of the holes, butt wiggling with the effort of it. It takes a few minutes, but soon, his voice pipes up from the rubble.]
I believe this hill has been hollowed out quite well, and only the entrance has been affected! Yet even my petite and agile frame cannot venture completely inside. I am afraid this is as far as I am able!
no subject
She waits patiently while the Judge conducts his explorations, until he says he can go no further.]
I expect that suffices, at least we have some information to share with any others we may come across, eh? Don't get in trouble in there, now!
[He's a cat, Sara, that may be easier said than done!]
no subject
[Cats gotta cat, you know]
[There’s some shuffling, claw scratching, and bumping before a certain pale rear end starts to back up out of one of the holes… only to pause.]
[A despondent meow picks up.]
[help]
no subject
What's going on? What can I do to help you? Are one of your claws caught?
[She hopes something hasn't caught him or is coming after him out of that hole, because she's not sure what good she'd do then...]
If one of your claws is caught, try going back in a little, that might free you...
no subject
I fear that the claustrophobic entrapments of this derelict entrance have entrapped me. To move and reach freedom seems a nigh impossible goal.
[Another sad meow. The saddest meow.]
Are you certain the maneuver of which you are suggesting has a reasonable chance of success?
[He just needs to wiggle a little, don't believe his dramatics, Sara]
no subject
[Whether or not she believes he's being dramatic, or not, she's speaking reassuringly, if firmly. It's not an outright 'stop being silly', just encouraging. You got this. Just a few steps! Well, maybe more than a few, he is a cat. Still.]
You'll be in the sun again in no time. And I dare say if you have the interest of your less erudite and intelligent brethren, I've a soft lap and said sun is still warm. I imagine we could spend a bit of time out here, allowing you to sun yourself a bit.
If you've a desire for such things, that is. I wouldn't dare presume!
no subject
[And thus, he wiggles back in a little bit before wiggling back out. Rinse and repeat… Until, third time as the charm, he pops out.]
Liberance!
no subject
[Too bad she doesn't know her husband is here at the moment, he would have been the Prime Suspect. Well, he probably still is, it's Dread she's thought of, in truth.]
You all right, for all your duress?
no subject
When it comes to remedies of frantic distress, nothing is more freeing or free as that of liberty. I must express my gratitude to you fully at a later date.
no subject
You do seem to have suffered no lasting ill effects; I am grateful for that! [Reaching out a hand. Once he's inspected it--also a cat thing--she'd give him a gentle scratching about his ears.]
want to end/handwave here?
While I am of the feline persuasion, I am also as much of a gentleman as my species allows. Be certain that I shall show my gratitude at a date further along the future, circumstances permissible.
Shall we carry on?
indeed
Well, I realize, but I shan't hold you to it. Dignity, again.
[But if he remembers, good on him. Honestly, she'd probably take payment in feline affection, soft heart that she is.]
Gladly. Anyplace else you want to go?
[They sure could get into all sorts of trouble, 'round here...]
