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

[ Birds don't generally stick to the ground, but he was talking and she recognizes the voice from the journal. Kate crouches, so she isn't towering above the little guy. ]

No, not dead.

rude kate he is tall for a pigeon!!

What a relief, for the rest of your sakes!

Looks like we might still be in trouble, though. Any ideas?
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (detecting bullshit)

how tall is he anyway!!

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Headcount, check everyone for injuries... familiarize ourselves with the area, if we can. [ She gets the feeling sticking around here might be a bad idea. ] It doesn't look like anyone's got their journals with them, so we have no idea if there are any others.
whathedoves: (❥ intrusive and arrogant)

little over a foot? foot and a half? mutants 8(

Doesn't look like anyone's got much of anything.

[He looks back into the woods - that is, into the dark.] You don't suppose anyone would be trapped in there, do you?
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (fought crime before it was cool)

cutest birds...

[ She follows his gaze. ]

Hard to say. Going in there looks like a bad idea. We should stick together.
whathedoves: (❥ it's still a question)

scuse u i think you mean handsomest

[personal profile] whathedoves 2012-06-07 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
We pigeons can't really see at night like humans can ... I'd probably get myself lost. Looks like our only option is forward! Ever onward, anyway.

Do I know you?
gevurah: (payback is healthy)

yes of course :3

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-07 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I think we spoke through the journal. I'm Kate.
whathedoves: (❥ brothers.)

[personal profile] whathedoves 2012-06-07 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
The lady with the plumage problems, of course!

I guess it's not so difficult to pick me out of a crowd ... I know I do stand out!

[Not for the reasons you want, though, Yuuya.

His voice gets fairly serious.
] Looks like we've got some kids here.
gevurah: (terrible jason/tim fic)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-07 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
We really don't get too many talking animals. [ She frowns now, nodding slowly. ] They don't seem too shaken up so far.
whathedoves: (❥ then back on that island)

[personal profile] whathedoves 2012-06-07 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Off-handedly. ...Off-wingedly.]Would that this were a testament to my individuality.

Smart kids. Least we haven't flown into some creepy-crawlies yet, hm? We should be careful that they don't wander off into trouble - more trouble, that is.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (shadow blobs)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-07 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you not fly for too long? [ Because that's an oddity in any bird. Unless this place is doing something to him? ]
whathedoves: (❥ I'm an addict for dramatics)

[personal profile] whathedoves 2012-06-07 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I have very good stamina, in fact. Better swimming, though.

But something tells me I won't just be able to fly out of this predicament.
gevurah: (fancy schmancy dress)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-08 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's never that easy.
