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

[Caterina is awakening thanks from the cold ground. She is dressed in a long white nightgown with her hair falling loose. Quite a change from her normal appearance for anyone who knows her. Caterina adjusts her nightgown before standing up and assessing the situation. She has been in the castle too long to be afraid by the change in environment. Though the look of this is certainly troubling.]

Is everyone alright? [She asks softly as she takes in the surroundings.]
sixguns: (wary)

[personal profile] sixguns 2012-06-05 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye. Just bloody concerned. Y'all right, y'self?

[Noah's dressed in only grey pajama pants and a gun. Well, a black handgun shoved into his wasteband. Seems right somehow. His current dress shows off his collection of scars.]
ironlady: (so darkness I became)

[Caterina sizes him up to be certain that is true. Somehow what she finds does not surprise her. It is good to know one of them was ready to fight out of this pair. When she speaks her gaze in concentrated on his face.]

I'm unharmed. You are right to be concerned. These abductions rarely end well for the people involved in them.
sixguns: (looking away)

[personal profile] sixguns 2012-06-05 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never seen one turn out right in all m'years. [Pause]. This 's happened before?

[Not that he's surprised.]

's go find some of th' others. I'd like t'know how many of us are here.
ironlady: (emptiness)

[personal profile] ironlady 2012-06-06 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Not in this exact fashion. The castle has a tendency to drop us in different places or change itself period.

[Caterina nods.] But let's move on. I'd like to see if they are all themselves still.
sixguns: (wary)

[personal profile] sixguns 2012-06-06 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye, 'tis the best way.

[He gestures off toward the castle.]

Best place t'start, I s'pose. It seems t'be where everyone's headin'.

[Noah's expression has turned stony, unlike the relaxed Irish man most have seen around the city.]

[And so, walking!]
ironlady: (there's nothing we can do)

[personal profile] ironlady 2012-06-06 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh there's a small child.] Good. Do we know how many are here?
persequor: (nymeria | goodbye)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shrugs. ] A few.

[personal profile] ironlady 2012-06-06 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Then only a few of us were selected for this. The other residents will be searching for us soon.
persequor: (wrote.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Other residents. Her mother must be distraught. Robb and Jon too. They will find her. Sansa is probably happy she's gone. ]
ironlady: (concern)

[personal profile] ironlady 2012-06-07 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Does that trouble you?
persequor: (nowhere.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-07 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks up quickly and shakes her head. ] No.
honorinflames: (...Micro wave?)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-06 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Just confused.

[rubbing his eyes and shaking his head a little]

...Does everything look strange to you, or is it just me?
ironlady: (pic#2290388)

[personal profile] ironlady 2012-06-06 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Everything looks strange. [She chews on her bottom lip.] It's like a dream.
honorinflames: (Teenagering at its best)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[looking down at himself]

...Guess that explains what we're wearing.
ironlady: (questioning)

[personal profile] ironlady 2012-06-07 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
What's the last thing you remember?
honorinflames: (...Micro wave?)

[personal profile] honorinflames 2012-06-07 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[give him a second to think back]

Falling asleep, I think.

[personal profile] ironlady 2012-06-07 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
So did I. The same seems true for the others given our dress.
