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.

[ Hearing the duck call him 'big guy' gets a giggle, because considering his size he hadn't quite heard that before. Then again, seeing as she's actually really pint-sized in comparison it truly was apt, to say the least.

He'll pinch his cheek, though. Well, a talking small duck was here and so was this place. So not a fever dream. ]


Oh, it looks like you're right. How about we go looking around this strange place together?

Mmhmm, so definitely abduction, then? [ She sort of ducks her head, no pun intended, to indicate that she's nodding while also indicating the door leading to the portrait gallery. ] Let's roll.

[ While Lena's a bit intrepid by nature, she's usually got someone else to drag along with her while exploring strange and possibly dangerous new territory! Why say no to a travelling companion who's over three feet tall? ]

So, what're we looking for?

[ ... oh my god, Lena. He'll snicker a little at the pun, intentional or not.

But, he'll begin to start walking expecting her to come along. ]


Big weird symbols, kind of like the one we saw on the message, but it doesn't really have to be the same, just really noticeable and eyecatching. Also, secret doors. You know...the ones.

Stuff like that can be really easy to overlook, if you know what I mean.

What kind of lame secret door isn't? [ A beat. ] A death trap. Answered my own rhetorical question.

[ She's coming along, but also she refuses to up her pace and powerwalk to keep up with him, so she does trail a bit behind! Annnnnd they're in the portrait room. ]

Well, this isn't horrifying.
