asidarap | 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

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Fenris is just standing there, staring at it, with a deep frown forming on his face]

This place reminds me of the Fade. If it is anything like that... it would not be wise for us to linger here.

Sage advice. If you've any idea how to go about following it, I'm all ears.

[Yuan is not in the best of moods today.]

[Fenris seems to not notice nor care]

I would suggest we keep walking and hope we are not accosted by demons.

[And Yuan doesn't really mind having his bitchiness ignored when there's business at hand.]

What a cheerful idea. Do you think we actually are in this 'Fade', then, or at least Paradisa's version of it?

[It'd sure be handy to have someone around who knows something about where they are.]

[Fenris glances around, frowning]

I am...unsure. Only a mage would know for certain. It does very much look like the Fade.

What would a mage be able to tell, here? My magic was gone when I woke. [He's actually asking, not snarking, and thinking that it's possible his powers have simply been replaced instead of eliminated.]

What's the Fade?

[Oh hi little girl, let me tell you horrible things totally appropriate for someone your age] It is the sleeping realm, where demons reside, waiting for the chance to posses those who arrive in the Fade awake.

[ Teach her all the things, Fenris. ]

Isn't there any way to fight them off?

Not when it is their ground, no. They will seep into your conciseness and control your will.

[ That sounds so not good. She eyes their surroundings as if she might spot them. ]

[that voice sounds familiar...]

The Fade?

[Fenris nods]

The sleeping realm of my world, it is filled with demons.

I see...

[He frowns, but he doesn't seem too disturbed by that line of thought. ]

Let's hope that is only a coincidence.

Yes. I would not wish to be trapped in the Fade for all the gold in all the worlds. [It is not a fun place, are you getting that impression?]

[Less fun than Ponyville for you Fenris?]

Neither would I, from the sound of it.

That sounds ominous. I'm not keen on finding out what could happen.

[In case Fenris has met King Alistair he might notice the similarity in voice between Harry and him.]

[Oh, he does, and he has. It causes him to glance up for a moment, confused.

Nope. Not King Alistair. That's weird]

I have a feeling we will find out if we like it or not.

We better get going then, mate [Give a nod to the Elf.]

You don't happen to be armed, do you?

No. [He is SO not amused by that fact, either] I do not know where my sword is.

Got it. My gun's missing too. [He doesn't sound amused by that either]

[hey, someone who finds this familiar? guess he'll stop ignoring them for a moment]

Fade? What's the Fade?

It is the sleeping realm of my world. It is very unsafe.

Well, how do you get out of it?

You need to awaken.
