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 catches on right away as they walk through. She's been in the castle a good amount of time. Recently she spends a great deal of it within the city. Fish and a twisted version of a familiar place. Strange... but at least harmless so far.]

City Royale?

It looks that way .... [Yuuya is walking with his eyes cast up at the sky.] But surely not! There's nobirdie here, even.

I don't like this, mon amie. Perhaps you had better stay close, just in case.

[A bird. Surprisingly enough that hardly warrants much more than a simple look on Caterina's part anymore.]

I intend to. Wandering off on our own when there are so few of us here is a quick way to end up in trouble.
whathedoves: (❥ and watched the sailors going down)

[Soon talking birds will be as unsurprising as they are in ... well ... his universe!]

I'm gonna hazard the worrying observation that we are in trouble already!

But I think you mean we should not make it worse.

[As he is still looking skyward.] Maybe the fish know something.

Can you speak with them?
whathedoves: (❥ you speak in riddles my dearest)

[personal profile] whathedoves 2012-06-07 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never spoken to a fish before...They're not really conversationalists, you know! [Haha.]

They're pretty high. Should I make an effort?
ironlady: (there's nothing we can do)

If it will help I don't see why not.
