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.

"...We'll find out." That's the only answer he can think to supply. They don't know anything about this place. Obviously, that's going to have to change. They're going to have to dig for information and learn more. If they were transported here, obviously it stands to reason that they can be transported back. The knowledge soothes him.

"Something got us to this place for a reason... So it has to be important." Meeting Ken's eyes, Chikusa digs his fingers into his hair to make sure he can't look away. "...So no fighting anyone here, Ken."

Ken tenses, initially, looking at Chikusa with something like dismay. "No fighting anyone?" Chikusa may need to specify that he means people in Home, because Ken thinks Chikusa means anyone in this world.

That said, however...some of the tension has seeped out of Ken again, even in the face of this unreasonable demand. Chikusa hasn't promised anything, hasn't suggested any way they can accomplish the impossible obstacles in their path...but he's suggested it as a way forward. If Chikusa thinks they can do it - or even simply states that they have to - then Ken trusts it can and will get done by them. It's the path back to Mukuro-sama, and both of them are equally determined to walk it. Just knowing that there is a path, however insane, is calming.

Right, of course. Chikusa sighs. “Anyone who lives here,” he clarifies, fingers idly stroking and tugging through Ken’s hair. “We have to have been brought here for some sort of reason… And maybe finding out that reason will help get us back to Mukuro-sama. If we start fighting with the others who’ve been brought here… They might keep us out of this place.”

They can’t let that happen. Not until they find out more information and a lead on how to go back to Mukuro.
junkyarddog: (Without thinking)

That relaxes Ken again, although he still doesn't seem thrilled. But he rests his forehead against Chikusa's chest again, closing his eyes. "Okay," he agrees, and if it's somewhat grudging it is at least still agreement. Ken's not deceptive; he basically never agrees to anything unless he plans on going through with it. So Chikusa can trust that Ken intends to behave himself - although, of course, this being Ken, one never knows when something might throw him off-course.
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

Chikusa doesn’t say ‘good’, but it’s in the nod of his head and the curl of his fingers. Then that’s that. All they can do for now is keep investigating this strange new place, learn what they can… And, one way or another, they’ll get back to Mukuro. He won’t consider any other option.

But for now… It’s been a long day. He’s talked to too many people than he really cares for. So, as day shifts seamlessly into night, Chikusa stays where he is for as long as Ken is willing to be still, finding what comfort he can in his partner’s weight.

Chikusa gets lucky today. Ken stays still long enough, simply listening to the sound of Chikusa's heartbeat, that after awhile his body relaxes, limbs going slack, as he dozes off in his partner's arms. Which means Chikusa gets some peace for awhile, too - not to mention the opportunity to sleep.
