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.

Naw, I know that was Putress, an' he got ganked. As he deserved.

[The elf wears an uncertain look, though she nods.]

I know she gave my people help she didn't haf'ta, when we needed it, but...ya can't deny what Arthas did ta her changed her. It had ta...would'a changed anyone, really, but.

She ain't our Ranger General no more, no matter how anyone wishes she were. An' I know she wants ta do right by the Forsaken, but...is it gonna come at the cost of everyone else dyin'? I wonder 'bout that.

[Dumb Avandrel may claim to be, but it's pretty clear she thinks more than she lets on.]

Sometimes the best intentions come from the worst of actions. And yet, there are a lot of potential moments from each waking moment.

[He grunted and folded his arms in thought.] For now, we should be focusing on helping this world, and then helping our world as well. If we can.

Yeah, we gotta get home ta do the latter, so it makes sense ta help here first.

[The elf considers a moment, head cocked, a gloved hand reaching up to first tug an ear, then rub her chin. Her skills aren't exactly given to helping people, usually...]

You got an idea fer a novice at all this?

Exploration, meeting the locals, and getting used to the land first is a prominent idea. And then accepting requests.

[He smiled a little.]

Like home really.
a_vandal: (just as soon as I belong)

[personal profile] a_vandal 2016-09-05 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Makes sense, I guess. [There was some tedium in that, but there was also familiarity, so...]

Guess I better get started. I'll see ya 'round, Thrall.

[With that, the elf waved, and set her steps towards where she'd seen those weird blocks fall.]
