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!))

[it looks somewhat familiar to Allen, but he's keeping his theories to himself until he knows for sure. No need to say more unless he has to]

Only in dreams, I'm afraid.

[Yuan has decided to actually take this comment at face value, at least to some degree. Now how to ask this without sounding like he's prying into Allen's personal life any more than he already has...]

Coincidence, or do you think it's related?
save_the_souls: (...?)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2012-06-05 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs and shakes his head]

I'm not sure yet. I'm not sure what this could mean if it was related though...
cloakand_danger: (But I can't choose)

[personal profile] cloakand_danger 2012-06-05 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Me either, but I'd hate to miss a clue this early into the game.
save_the_souls: (can't make up your mind)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2012-06-05 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, right.

Well...all I know is sometimes I dream of dead woods like this. But it could easily be a coincidence.
cloakand_danger: (Of hopes and dreams)

[personal profile] cloakand_danger 2012-06-05 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough. Let me know if other things start looking familiar once we get moving, I suppose; we can't very well stay here.
save_the_souls: (Being Carried)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2012-06-05 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Um- I will!

Where are we going?
cloakand_danger: (I've got another confession to make)

[personal profile] cloakand_danger 2012-06-05 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the little girl [whose name he should probably ask, fff] was kind enough to point out a city over that way. [He points toward it.] I was thinking that direction looked the most productive.
save_the_souls: (hmmm :|)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2012-06-05 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[he nods] All right. I hope we find something good there.
