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.

Oh, but she does seem just as confused as everyone else, doesn't she? She'll observe a little longer.
She leans forward, offering a hand.] Are you all right? It seems you took quite a fall.
no subject
Oh, I just slipped. It's okay... I think.
[She'll take the hand and pop to her feet -- seems like she's limber enough, just playing cards have it out for her. The card is given a mildly reproachful look before she bobs her head, down and up, and takes in the girl that just came out from the room nearby.]
Thanks for the help! I hope I didn't scare you? The situation is scary enough already.
no subject
No, you didn't frighten me. [Her voice is incredibly even and calm: It seems she's telling the truth.]
Then you just woke up here, as well? [Glancing around:] I wonder if each of these rooms is full...?
no subject
[Metaphorically in this case, no matter how many flying heads are involved in this castle (it's probably more than one at the rate they're going, but that's for future endeavors and future revelations)! Niko seems to be rolling along with Oriko's Extremely Calm attitude; she settles a little bit instead of flailing and flustering over her gaffe.]
I just woke up, and I didn't recognize anything around except for the view. I'm not even sure if the view is real now...
[Their windows sure are a thing, too.]
I haven't checked the other rooms, but I'm kind of curious.
no subject
[Oriko bends down to retrieve the offending playing card from the carpet, turning it over in her hand.]
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't believe you should trust the view.
[But now her own curiosity is piqued. It hasn't occurred to her just how different each room might be, an assumption she chastises herself for now.]
What did you see?
