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.

Huh? Isn't that the number one rule of dreams? That you don't get hurt.

[Oh, d-ear. How exactly has the earring been bent out of shape?

She kind of. Pauses at the string, because she had to touch that to take it out........ She needs to wash her hands. Well, everything was already dusty but this is definitely unsanitary. What color is the hair, and does it look like human hair?

Hmm. She might have to go check the library for large mammal predators after this, since she's used to being able to look this stuff up online. The tooth can keep for later. Anything special about the blue pencil?]

Oh! That's so cool!! [Oh now he gets it! He will lean forward and listen to what he has to say.] What do you do at this... head-quarters?
bizer0: (blood smirk)

[personal profile] bizer0 2020-10-05 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
If you're looking for a fight, don't think we'll go easy on you just because you don't have your sacrifice. Right Natsuo?
xxxx_me: ([Sad] as I dream of)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
...

You can definitely get hurt in Dreams.

[He should know.]

[ His expression will turn a little pensive at that. ]

Maybe she didn't count it as an official task yet? Or it's a different situation. This isn't really great for us either way, though...

I'd hope we could figure out more things before we do meet with her. Even if we've got a short time until we meet with her.
battlestations: (they've given you a numbuh)

[personal profile] battlestations 2020-10-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Their Father [with a bit of a wince thanks to recent revelations] is an even worse supervillain than they are. There's no end to how many times we had to save all of kidkind from that guy...
golden_king: (22)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hey...you don't think I'm just some dumb kid, do you?

What sort of dreams do you have?

[ concern???? ]
xxxx_me: ([Surprise] tiny teardrop)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
No...?
soverainty: (Default)

[personal profile] soverainty 2020-10-05 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, as long as you're okay with it!

[She seems relieved that she doesn't have to try for Llewellyn-kun.]

It's good to meet you too, even if I don't know how we're meeting... I really wasn't expecting to wake up here today. [after a moment, she glances back at Allen's profile and then looks down at her paper again] Is it okay if I ask you something else?

There's something about the rules and your portrait...

[His plaque, she means. Either way!!]
golden_king: (19)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-05 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh, then I can just tell you.

It's just a slightly snowy landscape with a big crater not that far off from here, and buildings in the distance. Or that's what it appears to be, anyway.
xxxx_me: ([Surprise] of the universe)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[...

He's a little at a loss. None of the others really questioned it before.
]

I've been in a... really long, painful dream for a while now. I think I was close to getting out, but now I'm here...

I think it might be another part of it, though. When you go to another World in the dream, you wake up in a bed somewhere. But I don't know whose World it is.
xxxx_me: ([Surprise] tiny teardrop)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, um, sure. What is it?

Kyaaa! A-An Enemy?!

[There's a small shriek way below him, considering he is Gigantic, or maybe it's above him now given that his head has gone rolling away. There's a small redheaded girl plastered against the wall with her eyes wide; she seems undecided as to whether to deal with the head or the rest of the body first so she's just. Frozen.

Her gaze darts back and forth a couple more times while she tries to absorb what the disembodied head is now telling her. F.]

Y-You're still talking? Are you okay? Am I okay?

[You'll forgive her for pinching herself now. And still not moving.]
battlestations: (beware of pretty faces that you find)

[personal profile] battlestations 2020-10-05 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[I mean, most teenagers have some sassy things to say when they defect, so it's not wrong exactly, but]

That would be an understatement at best. Most teenagers I know are busy assisting the local supervillains, and the insults happen while I and my team are stopping them.
caligulass: veronica looking kind of sad, presumably because she lost. (but xandeeeeer)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-05 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
That’s not really helpful since I don’t know who your teacher is. Were you having nightmare problems?
scratchitti: (Apply directly to the forehead)

[personal profile] scratchitti 2020-10-05 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Shaved bigfoot?!

["What the hell??"]

I'm a human... which I guess is more like a shaved chimpanzee?
xxxx_me: ([Surprise] of the universe)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[!!]

I think so?
golden_king: (04)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-05 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...He'll just shake his head in disbelief. ]

I won't easily forget what you brought up just now, though I'll put it to the side for now.

But, try not to go around saying strange things to other people, you never know how they could react, you know.
imozon: ([dd] Pointing)

Someone made copies of heroines. I'm one of them.

[The copies, she means...]
battlestations: (and taken away your name)

[personal profile] battlestations 2020-10-05 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
A clue!

[Candy-based weaponry is important for an operative, but so is keeping your snack stash stocked! He'll try to get that note out while he's doing so. But yes, it IS pretty weird.]
xxxx_me: ([Sad] and the herd of)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh...

He slumps a little, but nods.
]

...Sorry for bothering you, then.
