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

Not that I know.
gevurah: (terrible jason/tim fic)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. [ She'll count the heads on her own, but she's definitely going to need names later. As her eyes pass from person to person: ] What's your name?
persequor: (curiouser.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods in acknowledgement, but otherwise says nothing. She drops her gaze to their surroundings, trying to spot anything of interest. ]
gevurah: (payback is healthy)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Considering everyone else's stories so far... ]

Were you also going to bed before you woke up here?
persequor: (draw.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Was in bed. Mother says I need to sleep more.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (Default)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Is she right?
persequor: (stand.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yes. But her nightmares are too personal to share. ]

I sleep fine.
gevurah: (hydrology was the only good arc)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
She's probably noticed by now you're missing. Hopefully she's alerted other residents and they're piecing together whatever is going on.
persequor: (back.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-06 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Distantly: ] Probably.
gevurah: (fancy schmancy dress)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-06 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll get out of here. [ She's not the best with kids, but she doesn't want to worry anyone. ]
gevurah: (גבורה)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-07 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
First we take a look in that city. There was a way in here, we just need to find it.
persequor: (start.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-07 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I suggested the city and got told off.
gevurah: (not a vampire guys)

[personal profile] gevurah 2012-06-07 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Staying here isn't going to do us any good. Going into the forest isn't an option. [ It's too dark and lacks roads. Not a wise choice. ] The city might have supplies or other people.
persequor: (fallen.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-06-07 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nodding, she joins the little group being organized. ]
