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.

I’ve only heard of Earth, and only from other people here. I suppose my world merged with Dökkálfheimr, but since that’s the realm of nightmares I’m sure that’s different.

Okay, they definitely sound different...I guess that means there must be even more worlds out there, huh? And...merged with the realm of nightmares? Are you okay?
caligulass: veronica looking grumpy and sad with a bandage on her face. (GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.)

Why wouldn't there be more worlds than just those? There are infinite.

Anyway, I was doing a good job of fighting them off until I showed up here. I don't know if that means one of them managed to sneak up on me or if this is something different.

...really? I guess you'd know more about that than I do...

[Cori nods a little in understanding.] I don't remember being attacked by anything like that, but the last thing I remember was being asleep...
caligulass: veronica looking kind of sad, presumably because she lost. (but xandeeeeer)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-06 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. So it might be the Dökkálfar, or it might not. We don't know either way so far...

[SIGH......]
rhododendronhoney: (worried)

[personal profile] rhododendronhoney 2020-10-06 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Cori nods.] I wish I could give you a more definite answer...oh, I'm Coriander, by the way. You can call me Cori.

Then we must do our best to find out what exactly is going on here instead of standing around talking about how little we know.

Anyway, I'm Veronica.

[A serious nod.] I'm going to head off to get the measure of this place, then. [A pause.] ...good luck.
caligulass: veronica's most neutral expression. (it's a beautiful day in askr)

[personal profile] caligulass 2020-10-06 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, good luck to you as well. The more people we have trying to figure this out the better.
rhododendronhoney: (worried)

[A nod.] I guess...I'll see you around later, perhaps.

It's not that big a castle, so I'm sure you will.
