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

[Zuko's sitting up fast as soon as all the wrong registers in his brain and shoves him out of sleep, and then scrambling up to his feet right after.

At first he's automatically falling into a defensive stance... but as the unreal quality of his surroundings really starts to sink in, he slowly lowers his arms until they're hanging uncertainly at his sides]


...Am I dreaming?
persequor: (bitch please.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-05 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
If you are, we all are.
honorinflames: (Daily scowl)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-06 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[a side-glance]

Couldn't I just be dreaming you?
persequor: (kidding.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She scoffs. ]

No.
honorinflames: (get in the car!)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-07 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[his eyebrows raise at the scoff]

Why not?
persequor: (stand.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-07 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
You could not dream me up.
honorinflames: (Ungroundable)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[it's his turn to scoff, now]

Right.
persequor: (profile.)

[ Seriously. You're not that screwed up to come up with her life. Bored of this conversation already, she continues wandering among the people there. ]
perfectisnteasy: (oh yes indeed programs)

all the father issues CR y/y?

[personal profile] perfectisnteasy 2012-06-06 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Considering I'm not able to, and I'm here? Prob'ly not.
honorinflames: (Into a corner)

yyy ;;

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-06 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[glancing around]

Then what is this place?
perfectisnteasy: (take a look at the horizon)

[personal profile] perfectisnteasy 2012-06-06 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno. You think this is one of those big changes I keep hearin' about?
honorinflames: (get in the car!)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-07 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so, but... this seems different.
perfectisnteasy: (did I leave the stove on?)

[personal profile] perfectisnteasy 2012-06-07 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
S'my first one. Mind filling me in on why it's different? [he's frowning slightly as he takes it all in] All I know's what I've read, and data files are a little different than memory.
honorinflames: (Was that supposed to be funny?)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-07 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Everything looks... weird. [rubbing his eyes again like that will help]

The other changes looked like normal cities, just different from the castle.
perfectisnteasy: (watchin' the game - havin' a Bud)

[personal profile] perfectisnteasy 2012-06-07 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that explains a lot. My definition of a normal city is totally different from everyone else here. ..... You think this weirdness is gonna be a problem?
honorinflames: (You have a problem?)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-10 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's always a problem.
perfectisnteasy: (and did I mention - I was all by myself?)

[personal profile] perfectisnteasy 2012-06-12 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, soooo ... [logic, User, c'mon, work with him here] How'd you deal with it the last time it happened?
