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.

Easy there! [ ... ] Playing card underfoot, huh?
no subject
[Niko kind of trails off once she's got her bearings (still on the floor, it seems nice to stay here for a minute in case it betrays her again), but she doesn't have far to look up because there's a... small duck person... wearing clothes?? (???????) And talking. Hm.
Well, it could be worse. She raises a hand to gently knock it against her head, but she didn't hit her head, so it's just a silly gesture.]
Um. Playing card underfoot, yes. [...] You're...
[How do you tell someone they're a duck, or ask someone whether they're supposed to be a duck, or really try to duck around any other number of awkward acquaintance questions when your sudden acquaintance is a duck.]
no subject
[ And she's just going to let that... sit... everyone can simply marinate in this weird awkward feeling for a few seconds before Lena adds: ]
And a duck. That's what you actually meant, right?
no subject
[She seems totally flustered to be called out!! But she was flustered in the first place, so it's just worse now. Can't believe the duck is the one with more composure here. Niko flails around for a moment before putting her face in her hands and mumbling.]
--I'm sorry. It's definitely both, right? I didn't mean to offend you, but I'm not sure what to do in a situation like this?
[This goes like twice or thrice over right now. Also, she's peeking through her fingers, because she can't help hrself.]
no subject
Hey, relax. You're [ and she draws the you're out ] not the first.
[ And then she stands awkwardly as she realizes she cannot help Niko up at all because like... what kind of leverage is a 2'6" duck going to bring to the table by offering a hand, really? ]
Plus, you know. This is happening.
