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.

What's a mile?

[Only the most useful and pertinent questions from your local knockoff magical girl.]

A mile is a system of measurement in the inferior imperial measuring system. But why do you ask that?

[She's a little startled by the question of course but she is here to help where she can.]
imozon: ([dd] Serious)

You were the one asking about them, right?

[...yes. She is in fact saying this stupid thing.]
littlebratziska: (no you clearly did)

Wha- why would I have asked what a mile was?

[this is going nowhere fast]
imozon: ([dd] Upset looking away)

I don't know! You were saying "miles" like it was a question!

[.................!]

The 's' is important! Miles is a junior of mine, who was with me until... until I woke up here.

Oh.

Is he long?
littlebratziska: (there see she's right)

He is not very tall. I'm sure I'll be taller than him, soon.

In any case, a mile is a unit of measurement, but Miles can also be a given name, with nothing to do with measuring anything.
