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.

portrait exhIBit
[Well, she stops there both because there's a whole lot of things she doesn't understand, of which the portraits might be the least of all, and also because she's noticed that Ib just is Not Pleased to the nth degree.
Niko's going to shuffle over a little to peek at Ib's portrait; looking between it and the subject. All of these are good portraits...?]
Ib-san... You don't like this type of art?
oh u
I like art, but...I need a break from it, I think.
[ she's been chased by homicidal paintings for the last 48 hours she doesn't want to look at a painting of herself.....!
is it going to come to life and take her existence from her?? is it going to pop out of the frame and do horrible things??? IS IT GOING TO MOVE ITS EYES WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING??? ]
:>>
[She seems apologetic for stirring up Ib's painting issues, or at least it looks like painting or art or artist issues to her -- little does she know it's in fact Paint Traumatic Stress Disorder.
For now, Niko's going to do her best to... change the subject slightly as Ib stares down the paintings.]
I guess they needed some way to introduce us, or keep track of the players?
