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
persequor: (bitch please.)

[ Arya glances at Fenris, to the creepy cherub and back at Fenris. ]

We?

Myself and the companions I travel with. [He glances around, where IS Isabela, anyway?]
persequor: (maybe.)

[ She follows his gaze and guesses the reason. ]

If you've not seen them yet, I don't think they're here. Are you going to look in there?
wolfuncaged: ([Brood] Sepia toned)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2012-06-06 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Just when she could be useful, too.

[He looks back at that ominous building]

I suppose we have no choice. There doesn't seem to be any other way.
persequor: (death.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Go ahead, dude. She'll follow. ]
wolfuncaged: ([Disgust] Trust issues up the wazoo.)

[He takes a deep breath, before striding towards it.

An elf and a small girl against whatever the hell is in there.

They'll be fine, right? Right?

persequor: (fallen.)

[ WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Arya follows quietly, stealing glances at the cherub as she walks.

It feels like it's staring at us...
wolfuncaged: ([Watch] Folded arms)

[To some people, that might be considered almost pretty. To Fenris, however, it is nothing but creepy. Might as well be real hearts, if they're trying to unnerve them]

This is not a good place to be without my sword.
persequor: (nowhere.)

[ Arya agrees wholeheartedly. Her hand ghosts to where Needle should be. She feels strangely naked without it. ]

Mayhaps we can find some around here. Or something we can break to make clubs or such.

[ She watches the patterns of light thrown on the wall. Standing on tiptoes, she strains to reach the lowest hanging heart. ]
wolfuncaged: (Default)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2012-06-06 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be better than nothing, at least.

[He watches her cautiously, just in case something actually decides to attack her while she's doing that]
persequor: (balancing act)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ When standing on tiptoes fails, she jumps. She manages to grab it and tug it sharply toward her. ]
persequor: (back.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-07 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She yanks her feet back immediately. Dropping the arm she reflexively raised to protect her face, she peers at the mess and the heart she still holds. ]

Huh.
persequor: (fallen.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-12 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Keeping the heart, Arya approaches one of the doors. Trying to be quiet in case there is anything alive on the other side, she turns the doorknob to open it. ]
