♪ 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.

[Leaning back, he quirks an eyebrow up pointedly.]
no subject
...either way, since there was literally nothing out there, I paid a lot more attention to stuff around the tree. I don't know whether or not I might've missed something out there while looking around, especially if things just pop up out of nowhere.
no subject
[That’s it, blunt and simple. None of them have woken up from a silly fantasy dream, everything feels as real can possibly feel, and the regular needs of the human body don’t let any of them delude themselves otherwise. Whatever is going on… It’s not something that they prepare you for in a Japanese high school.]
[Still, something comes to mind.]
...I wonder what the people around that town think of everything? When we went there, it seemed like everyone was acting like it was just another normal day.
no subject
no subject
[After all, despite the exceptions, it seems like most people in the tree from what he can tell are human or… humanoid enough that it still counts.]
Anyway, I can go ask. I’ll probably start keeping up cooking duty with Yamaguchi, so going down into town for supplies will be regular for us.
no subject
You don't have to go around asking on your own, either. [Kuroo grins at him.] Want some company?
no subject
[However, it’s a lazy drawl, so he clearly doesn’t have any actual complaints against it.]
no subject
no subject
[But he sighs, tugging what looks like a simple handkerchief or something out of his pocket- Kuroo might recognize it to looking like similar things at Home and starts to tuck some of the bird meat away into it.]
Anyway, how long do you plan to stay in this town?
no subject
And obviously I plan on staying for as long as you do.
no subject
[So the only other choice is probably obvious, but Tsukishima sure isn’t saying that. Instead, he’s blinking over at Kuroo.]
I thought someone as curious as you would want to look over everything until you were satisfied.
no subject
At the question, he shrugs.] You're not wrong, but I don't have to look over everything today. It'd probably be stupid to try. Besides, how much do you really trust this place? All these weird people and creatures? I don't know if we should just be wandering around on our own.
[Kuroo came here alone. That he's worrying primarily about Tsukki is a bit obvious, even if he's not spelling it out.]
no subject
[Fight him.]
[At Kuroo's next point, he actually pauses, looking over him carefully.]
...You could say the same about anyone we don't know personally, right? Including the people stuck in that tree with us.
no subject
no subject
[Well, this conversation got.... dark immediately. But why shouldn't he be pessimistic? Not everything is like video games or cartoons- there's no reason any of this will go well.]
no subject
Granted, he's not much protection. Not against magic or monsters or whatever other weird shit this place can throw at them. He's probably every bit as vulnerable as Tsukki himself. But it's all he can do - and what he's determined to do, because the thought of something happening to his friends while he's not there is horrifying.]
no subject
[He can’t see that happening. Not when there’s other people who might need him, too.]
no subject
Kuroo's good intentions outstrip his capabilities by a fair margin.]
Just when and where I can.
no subject
Try not to do something ridiculous, Kuroo-san.
