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!))

WAKING UP | THE CITY

[She tilts her head, trying to place where she's heard that, and then realizes it and laughs.] Crowley probably would say that.

[Yuan grins lopsidedly at her.] Ah, so you know him, too. Not surprised, he's awfully sociable for a demon.

My name is Yuan, by the way. [Because any friend of Crowley's is a friend of his.]

As sociable as a demon can get. Especially if you provide alcohol.

I'm Belle. Nice to meet you, even if it's not in the... best of circumstances.
cloakand_danger: (Of hopes and dreams)

Likewise, Miss Belle. [He looks over in the direction of the city.] It looks like that's where we should be aiming for, once we're ready to set out. Obviously there isn't much for us here.

[She nods.] Even though we're probably doing exactly what it wants, we don't have much choice.
cloakand_danger: (Or are you gone and on to someone new?)

[The smirk he gives her this time is particularly ironic.] A common theme, to life in Paradisa.

I'm starting to realize that.
