You're My Friend, They're My Friends (IC Intro)

Whatever you were doing before, wherever you were before this moment it doesn't matter. The world seems to grow dark around you: an almost inaudible giggle floats to your year before you lose consciousness completely. Other it belonging to a child there's no defining characteristics of the voice. Maybe you just imagined it? Even if you did, one thing is clear when you wake up.

You're not where you were before. The bedroom you find yourself is plush and well decorated, almost like a fancy hotel or apartment. That might be little comfort considering that it's clear that you don't recognize it. Before you rush off to explore your surroundings there's a message pinned to the door to the hall.

From the desk of the Queen:

Hello, my friends dear.

I can only hope you enjoy your new life here. For those you stirring from sleep, this is my promise that I will keep: I will let you go if that is what you desire but the price for it will be quite dire.

For my rules are quite clear that I don't wish you to leave. Yet I will, if you can take the grief.

If you wish to know my name and the reasons to my game, meet in the audience hall for tea. Tea, yes, a grand tea party for my grand guests! Cake and sweets are what we need to meet. In an hour we both will be there, no peeking before!

Signed,


Instead of a signature, there's a small feline paw print underneath as well as some strange sort of heart crest?

There seems to be others moving outside your room. Perhaps it's time to explore, to see if anyone else knows what's going on. Don't slip on the playing card (an ace of hearts, with the heart shape replaced by the strange crest). That there's a scribbled phrase of 'dormez-vous? dormez-vous?' on the card but surely one of the others slipped it under your door.

This Castle seems like a strange place ot live in... yet for now it's quiet and peaceful, even if the Audience Hall is locked.

[She's a bit confused, but hey, maybe naming patterns for whatever he is are a bit different.] Well, it's easy enough to remember, I guess. [She taps said red seven lightly.]
battlestations: (be careful what you say)

[personal profile] battlestations 2020-10-05 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Your mother named you all after numbers?

[That's pretty funny all things considered]

[ Hearing the duck call him 'big guy' gets a giggle, because considering his size he hadn't quite heard that before. Then again, seeing as she's actually really pint-sized in comparison it truly was apt, to say the least.

He'll pinch his cheek, though. Well, a talking small duck was here and so was this place. So not a fever dream. ]


Oh, it looks like you're right. How about we go looking around this strange place together?

[ Unfortunately, when she feels tears leaking onto her hands, the unexpected sensation makes her squeal in earnest. By reflex, she toss Seven's head upward, out of her hands—and then she seems to realize what she has done, and makes a hurried dive to catch it before it can plummet back down to the floor. ]

S— Sorry...! [ Even as she says so, she pivots on her heel, finding his bed and half-tossing the head in her hands to the mattress. ] Um, you caught me by surprise again...

[ And, frankly, she isn't used to being caught by surprise. Blushing, she wipes her hands off on her skirt. ]
strictura: (when they know that damn well)

No, that I agree with. There should be no need for that sort of violence in a place with no adults. But that makes what they want all the more appalling.

[ Because he also isn't naive enough anymore to think it's impossible for kids to turn on each other. The Monokuma Kids are their allies, but even so... ]

Any situation in which someone would intentionally pit children against each other and incentivize them to hurt each other isn't something I could consider a fun time.
rowboats: (🌹 deepest of the dark nights)

[personal profile] rowboats 2020-10-05 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no...you--you can't find them? Maybe they're around this place, somewhere.

[ She's about to say something like, 'I wouldn't want my friends to get left behind either, but you've got a point' and then she remembers, uh...everything that happened in the past half hour.

Hm. ]
battlestations: (I can't go back to those times anymore)

One of the most frequent acts of villainy my sector deals with is a bunch of snobby rich kids who tie up kids and force them to watch as they eat their birthday cakes in front of them. Liberation of the cake is the only just response.
rhododendronhoney: (blushing)

[personal profile] rhododendronhoney 2020-10-05 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Well...first let's look for any pattern made by the flower colors. Or maybe if there's anything that was low enough to be hidden by the plants?]
seventhlittlemonster: (head tilt)

[personal profile] seventhlittlemonster 2020-10-05 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Why, is that strange? [The irony was lost on him as he did not know anything about this small, small kid.]

That's confusing and doesn't really make much sense to me.

[ Gil just got confused by how it would be 'someone's dream' to see someone get murdered in another world, and logically that didn't make sense. So naturally, that meant only one thing... ]

Was that supposed to be an excuse or something...?
caligulass: veronica with her angry eyebrows on (no talk with me im angy)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-05 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
I’ve only heard of Earth, and only from other people here. I suppose my world merged with Dökkálfheimr, but since that’s the realm of nightmares I’m sure that’s different.
rowboats: (🌹 it's hard to recreate)

Did a teenager make fun of you and now you don't like them?

[ nailed it ]

[personal profile] seventhlittlemonster 2020-10-05 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
People who don't live on Chestnut Street find it peculiar as well, but I am the seventh... uh... what's a twin but seven of them? A sep... tuplet, yes, I'm the youngest septuplet! [bless his heart he doesn't know a lot of big words.]
rhododendronhoney: (*swearing internally*)

[personal profile] rhododendronhoney 2020-10-05 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[That definitely gets a horrified expression to come onto Cori's face.] What? That-that's awful! Birthday cake is supposed to be shared with your friends, not flaunted like that! Do their parents know they're doing this to people?
soverainty: (#shoujosparkles)

neighborrrrr (room 23/24)

[Well, it took Niko a bit to make herself presentable after accidentally exiting Room 24 like a sack of potatoes earlier, but now she is Dignified and Dressed to the Nines, or rather just to Castle Chic standards. Complete with shoes, promise.

She just happens to be here when one of her neighbors comes out and Veronica gets a long few blinks, just, of bafflement.]

World...? I don't really understand the question, so, can I ask where you're from? That might help.

[She accidentally answered a question with a question but them's the breaks when you dispense with context like this.]
battlestations: (to see tomorrow~)

[personal profile] battlestations 2020-10-05 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[he is about to find out!!]

No, but it sounds like a code name. They call me Numbuh One at headquarters, but it isn't like that's my real name.
rowboats: (🌹 but when you long)

[ Her eyes light up. Maybe! Inhaling smoke was bad, right? She could have breathed in too much of it from the fire, and now she's unconscious.

So, Ib smacks her cheeks a little and pulls on her ears. ]
immaculacies: (these colors battle to repent)

[personal profile] immaculacies 2020-10-05 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
A-ah, that's... [ All at once, her inquisitive demeanor changes. She blushes. One of her hands comes up, and as she answers him, she finds herself twirling a lock of hair around her finger. ] Um, I've never been there myself, but I've seen it before. So, kind of...
xxxx_me: ([Sad] as I dream of)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
No... It was a dream. Really, it was.

[...Right?]
seventhlittlemonster: (head)

[personal profile] seventhlittlemonster 2020-10-05 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
AH, HERE I GOOOOOO- [TOUCHDOWN!] I-I'm really sorry, I didn't mean- hhh- [He's not used to causing so many problems by accident either. Hm. Maybe he will cry harder to make up for it.]
strictura: (make it seem effortless)

[personal profile] strictura 2020-10-05 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Different worlds"?

[ How literally do you mean that, because his world's got some crazy scifi shit going on but it doesn't have that ]
rowboats: (🌹 finish at the end)

[personal profile] rowboats 2020-10-05 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
...it's not a dream.

[ THAT HURT ]
xxxx_me: ([Surprise] of the universe)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[Oh no.]

Um, things can still hurt in a Dream like this...
