♪ 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.

[In his wandering, Gremio will find one of the many small teenagers wandering around. Chikusa is coming from the small collapsed building that's in the hill behind the tree... and also just casually bleeding from one hand where he accidentally cut it a bit.]

[He doesn't seem to be paying it much mind, besides keeping it away from his clothes, and in fact seems more occupied with sending a blank glance Gremio's way to assess if he's a danger or not.]
soldiernanny: (♪Hand in hand we walk together; We)

[I mean, on one hand, Gremio's carrying an axe. On the other hand, it's hanging by his side. On the other other hand, he seems - at first - rather preoccupied with the topography of the place, and some other sad-looking thought or another that purses his lips just a little.

Of course, it's not hard to spot someone coming from one of the buildings that's caught his eye, and he looks... a little surprised to see how young the general group of people here is.

He shouldn't be, having enlisted in the army by the age of fifteen, but... these children don't look like army children. It's disconcerting.

The glint of sunlight on the blood on Chikusa's hand is actually what spurs him into action fully, a faint panic rising on his face.]


-- Are you alright?! Do you need medical attention? Ah, I have some materials with me--

[Frantic as he can get, Gremio is already digging through his pockets as he speeds his approach to Chikusa, searching for gauze and medicine he knows he always keeps on him.]

[So preoccupied with trying to estimate how quickly the other person could get that ax ready or throw it, Chikusa is fairly surprised when he’s suddenly addressed with so much concern. In fact, he actually takes a wary step back when Gremio hurries towards him.]

...It’s not serious.

[Then again, Chikusa considers taking dynamite to the face not serious, so.]
soldiernanny: (♪I'll be your strength; I will I will I)

[personal profile] soldiernanny 2016-08-04 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chikusa, not everything is out there to kill you. GOD. Just 90% of everything.

Gremio does note the step back, and it's enough to slow his movements, though his pursed lips and concern don't waver.]


Are you certain? You're bleeding rather profusely...

[Please don't get blown up, Chikusa.]
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2016-08-04 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He’s pretty sure it’s 99%, actually, don’t question his math, Gremio. You’re not his real dad!]

[Slowly, he glances down at his bleeding palm as if just now noticing.]


….It’s not that bad.

[What do you mean he’s bleeding a lot? Nah.]
soldiernanny: (♪Make it through the stormy weather)

[personal profile] soldiernanny 2016-08-06 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh my god Chikusa we will turn this car around--

He looks genuinely concerned, though, as if that's changed int he last few moments.]


It... [IT'S NOT?!?!?] it's bad enough that were I able, I would have healed it already, after all.

[So what IS a bad injury, he wonders...]
kokuyoyo: (Can't believe I ate straight coffee)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2016-08-09 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
...Why?

[That blank gaze shifts from his small wound to Gremio. The look in his eyes matches his tone and yet, despite that, something about it almost seems accusatory.]
soldiernanny: (♪I'll be your strength; yes I will yes I)

[personal profile] soldiernanny 2016-08-20 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[It's the kind of combination a petulant child would give him. Did give him, in fact, so many times for so many years of raising Tir.

It also causes an interesting reaction. Gremio crosses his arms, head tilted just so.]


Because it would be cruel to see someone injured and, while being able to assist them, ignore them in favour of doing nothing. [He's lucky it's nothing Gremio would deem requiring bed rest. He would probably drag Chikusa to bed by the ear, then.]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2016-08-21 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
...So?

[Sorry, Gremio. While Chikusa is the most mature out of the Estraneo trio, that… isn’t really a high bar to pass. In many ways, he’s still a bit of a child, even at sixteen.]
