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

Danny jerks awake suddenly, jumping to his feet even before his eyes finish opening. His gaze flicks around the clearing nervously, taking in the situation.

Then of course he adds up his unconsciousness and sudden change in location. And comes to a completely logical conclusion.

"Oh come on! This isn't even original anymore!"

Danny rolls his eyes and speaks aloud to the general vicinity. "Look, can we just skip to the part where I derail your evil plot, whatever it is, and kick your butt? And then get back to my real problems? This so isn't a good time for me."
gevurah: (גבורה)

[ Loud is good... and sometimes not good, but Kate takes it as a good sign. Nobody's hurt so far. ]

Calm down.
schrodingersghost: (fenton - what?)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2012-06-06 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'm calm! I'm very calm!
gevurah: (occasional ghostbuster)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks around warily, taking in the surroundings. ]

Are you hurt?
schrodingersghost: (Fenton - Worried2)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2012-06-06 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
No. Just very confused.

[Among other things, on why he didn't feel hurt. Every other time his powers had been shorted out it had been a very painful process. He'd never just not been able to use them.]
gevurah: (:I)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
You're not the only one. [ But she's glad he isn't. ] The air here is strange.
schrodingersghost: (fenton - hate my life)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2012-06-06 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
That's not the only thing that's strange here.
gevurah: (payback is healthy)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ She crouches to touch the ground. It's cool... and there's nothing noteworthy catching her eye. No unusual footprints... nothing. Chances are it was magic that dragged them here. ]

What's the last thing you can remember?
schrodingersghost: (fenton - hate my life)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2012-06-06 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Going to bed.[[He tugs irritably at his pajamas. Kidnapped while asleep. Could this get any more embarrassing?]

But something tells me that the how of how we got here isn't going to be nearly as important as the why.
gevurah: (i shall become a lesbian)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever got us here could be our ticket out of here.

[ She was in cowl... but here she is in shorts and a tank top. Better than nothing, though, considering she sleeps in the nude. ]
schrodingersghost: (fenton - daydreaming)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2012-06-06 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Which brings us back to the why. No ones going to go to all this effort just for a prank.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (detecting bullshit)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I hate to say it, but these never end up being pranks.
schrodingersghost: (fenton - grumpy)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2012-06-06 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
{He makes an annoyed face.]

It's never that easy. Whatever the reason behind this, I don't think any of us are going to like it.
gevurah: (ugly lamp collection)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
We'll be fine. [ Sounds like Danny is a little familiar with this, but since he's a teenager, her inclination is to protect all the young people. ] There's safety in numbers.
schrodingersghost: (Fenton - Facepalm)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2012-06-06 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not enough.
gevurah: (sune stop being so hot)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it'll be fine. I promise.
schrodingersghost: (Fenton - Worried2)

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2012-06-07 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He is very skeptical.]

I don't think that's the kind of thing you can promise.
