Day 1

The first sign is maybe different for all of you – the hard ground underneath you, the lack of a body next to you, or no blanket to pull over your shoulders when you reach for it. Either way, when you open your eyes you know for certain you aren’t in the castle.

It’s a little too quiet here, except for the sounds of people around you moving about. There is a strange, unreal quality about everything, as if were viewed through the grimy patina of an old piece of film or photograph and half-realized blurs of images and words seems to hang suspended in the air like solid smoke – there but not quite there.

The group seems to be at the edge of a dead forest, the trees dark and twisted and the ground swirling with mist. A path seems to lead into the depths, but the sky that way is cast with dark umber and hanging shadows that don’t seem terribly inviting.

Not far off, however, is a long stone bridge stretching over a chasm of nothingness and leading to what looks like a city. Far beyond the rooftops, there is the briefest glimmer of dazzling light, gone almost as soon as you see it.

((OOC: WAIT FOR SECTIONS PLEASE! Aaaaaand GO!))

[He stands, smiling a little at the girl. A kid? Really? Oh man.]

I'm afraid not, no. I'd stay close until we know more.
persequor: (kidding.)

[ This face, man. ]

I know not wander off alone. I'm not stupid.
messin_with_my_zen_thing: (Destiny; destiny; just to fly away)

[His smile widens] Oh I never said that, now.

I'm Kevin Flynn. What's your name?

persequor: (on.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-05 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Arya. [ She would leave it there, but then she remembers Sansa refusing to accept her real name and she doesn't want to be anything like her sister. ] Of House Stark.
messin_with_my_zen_thing: (there'll be a better day)

[personal profile] messin_with_my_zen_thing 2012-06-06 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Well it's a pleasure to meet you. Would you rather I call you Arya or Miss. Stark? [He holds out a hand]
persequor: (on.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Arya.

[ She had someone else offer a handshake before so she doesn't stare at the hand uselessly now. She gingerly grasps it, still a little weirded out by this sort of greeting. ]
messin_with_my_zen_thing: (I travel the world and the seven seas)

[personal profile] messin_with_my_zen_thing 2012-06-06 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well guess what, instead of a handshake he's going to turn her hand and kiss the back of it like a proper gentleman.]

Arya it is. Are you all alone, here? Here as in our current location, not the castle itself.
persequor: (good.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She blinks in surprise. It's more the familiarity of it than anything that tugs a tiny smile from her lips. ]

Yes.
messin_with_my_zen_thing: (If he ever hurts you)

[personal profile] messin_with_my_zen_thing 2012-06-06 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now that's what he wanted to see. He smiles right back]

I have a son here who's only a little younger than you are. If you want you can stick by me.
persequor: (Default)

[ She is half-tempted to say that she doesn't need looking after. She can take care of herself. Instead she chews her lower lip and nods. ]
messin_with_my_zen_thing: (Seasons were made for the change)

[personal profile] messin_with_my_zen_thing 2012-06-07 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks around, pursing his lips]

Now then. Let's have a look around, shall we?
persequor: (above.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-08 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
There's not much to see here. Woods are too dark to go in without torches. We need supplies. We ought to try the city.
