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.

[ Then he will leave it at the offer and continue on this topic of conversation. ]

Yes, I have microphones which work for my ears, and I suppose I do have a speaker. Although, it is more like a voice box. This is my voice. I could not speak using yours. Although, I can beep, so you could make an argument for having two voices.

Wait till Twilight hears about this. [Excitement and anticipation and sadness all in one package that's too complicated for Rainbow to even begin to handle, so she ignores it.]

[ Part of Zenyatta must admit that he is surprised a pegasus knows more about technology than some of the humans here. It is a turn he would not have expected. And it is a little awesome. ]

Such a colorful name. You will have many stories to tell, as will I.
elementofloyalty: (huh?!)

[Rainbow Dash reads a lot -- and comic books are totally a thing. So how much she actually 'knows' about technology is way, way open to debate.]

Huh? A colorful name?

[ It is still something. ]

It is a compliment. The name is very nice, and I can picture a wonderful scene from it.

[ And looking at Rainbow Dash also helped with the idea colorful idea. ]
elementofloyalty: (uh i probably should have told you...)

...You're also kinda weird, just so you know. [She's so nonjudgmental about the fact! Rainbow just -- thinks Zen should probably be aware of this.]

[ There is a pause before Zenyatta just laughs, pure and bright. ]

My brothers and sisters have told me the same before.
elementofloyalty: (shock and surprise)

[personal profile] elementofloyalty 2016-09-03 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You have brothers and sisters?

...how's that work?

Ah, they are members of the Shambali like I am. Thus they are my brothers and sisters and my family.

[ Although, he is a little estranged. He still considers them his brothers and sisters. ]
