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.

Hey, hey, what're you looking for?

[ Don't mind if he suddenly had someone else who was in here, right beside him. ]
xxxx_me: ([Surprise] for being the foolish child)

Re: library;

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-04 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why is everyone hear sneaking up on him like the cat??

He startles a little, but relaxes again when he sees it's another kid.
]

Um... clues. Or keys, or something.
golden_king: (10)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-04 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Because. Because was why. ]

Then let's look together! Two heads are better than one, right?
xxxx_me: ([Curious] now I know I)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-04 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Can't argue with that. He nods, still kind of curious of this other kid, but accepting.]

Yeah. But be careful - there's blood on some of the shelves.
golden_king: (25)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-04 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, really? How scary...I wondered what could've happened. Maybe a previous 'game'?

[ He'll be careful about just touching whatever now. Totally wasn't into getting blood all over himself! ]
xxxx_me: ([Look] I'm still longing)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-04 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's an unhappy thought.]

...It's weird. I saw a murder in another World, but I've never gone to a World that had a game like this before.

[Allen that makes no sense to anyone other than you.]
golden_king: (16)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-04 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Pretend that somewhere there was the sound of record scratching if this was a TV show, because that sure was a comment. ]

'In another world'? What do you mean by that?
xxxx_me: ([Surprise] tiny teardrop)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-04 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[...

Er. He slipped up, he hadn't even mentioned worlds to the others from the facility. Then again, the others from the facility were very easily convinced that they were just dreaming.
]

Everyone was dreaming, so... it was someone's dream?
golden_king: (17)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-05 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
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...?
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?]
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?
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.
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.
golden_king: (19)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-05 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. I've seen and heard a fair share of weird stuff myself so I can brush those things off.

[ Wouldn't be able to say the same for others, though... ]

Oh, I guess we should really do some introductions, since we'll be working together. Or maybe that's not really needed because of those portraits that were put up...?
xxxx_me: ([Neutral] Some even call it)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Thinking back to the portraits...]

Your name is... Gilgamesh, right?
golden_king: (03)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-05 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Mhm, the one and only! And you're...Allen, aren't you?

[ He'll start to properly glance around the room now. ]

Well, with the obvious out of the way, I could say something like "it's nice to meet you" but it'd have been better if it wasn't like this.
xxxx_me: ([Sad] Everything; everything)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-05 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[But not like they can do anything about that, so!]

Should we look around some more?
golden_king: (12)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-05 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Mhm! First one who finds a hidden door gets 100 points!

[ He'll enthusiasically run around the area, knocking over some of the books like a gremlim whole evading splotches of blood. It's all good. ]
xxxx_me: ([Curious] your reminiscence)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-06 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
A hundred...?

[He wonders briefly what the hundred points are for, but quickly dismisses the thought to instead continue looking around the library. He's not really looking around in any way that's going to net him any discoveries other than the dried blood though, whoops.]
golden_king: (06)

[personal profile] golden_king 2020-10-06 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's fine, they're doing so well at this (trombone.mp3) ]

Yeah, I thought it'd be more fun if we made it into a little game. You know, one that's actually a little fun.

We can say the one who gets the most points wins. And then...how about the winner can come up with another game for us to play? That sounds a bit nice, doesn't it?
xxxx_me: ([Smile] missed you so much!)

[personal profile] xxxx_me 2020-10-06 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

[That actually gets a little smile out of him in spite of everything.]

Yeah. That sounds fun.
