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!))

[Yuan seems unfazed by the bluntness. Or the fact that there's a little kid with them in this...wherever they are.]

Well, that's one response. We should ask around, though, sometimes it brings us to places that other residents are familiar with.

[He cranes his neck to look around at the others, and his hair falls into his face again, forcing him to brush it aside again.] And also look for somewhere we can get proper clothing.
persequor: (maybe.)

[ Arya is intensely glad her mother has been allowing her breeches. The underpants are of a thin, close-fitting material, but they allow her to move comfortably. The long-sleeved tunic also covers her well. The only thing she lacks for is shoes. ]

Mayhaps there will be some over there. [ She points to the city in the distance. ]
cloakand_danger: (Take a look around you)

Seems likely. [He's not thrilled about walking into town in his pajamas, but staying here would be thoroughly unproductive.] Doesn't look like there's much to do here, we should try to get everyone moving. There's safety in numbers, at least until we know where we are.
persequor: (away.)

[ She stands aside to let him do as he will. If anyone sounds like a leader, it's this man. A good leader is not a bad thing to have. ]
cloakand_danger: (Anybody brave enough)

[And Yuan will get up to go talk to other people and try to herd them into some semblance of organization.]
