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

Probably the city in the distance is our best bet. [She gestures in that direction.] I doubt standing on the edge of this forest is going to get us much.

No. We'll likely be put into danger heading that way, but that cannot be helped.

Of course. It's probably one huge trap for us, but we don't have any other options. The castle is clever like that.

So it is. We've made it through these trials time and time again. This one will be no different.

I've only been here for a few months, but...that seems the way of things. The castle throws things at us, and we survive. That's all we really can do.
ironlady: (there's nothing we can do)

You've caught on quickly. It's not all hopeless thankfully. The people make the trouble worthwhile.
