( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )



There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently? In addition, characters will find that they've been allowed to bring back souvenirs from this most recent trip - trinkets, nothing violent, but items that can fit in your character's pockets, whether that be sentimental or otherwise.

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. For those who have been here a while, they might notice some expansions. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble.

It might've changed since the last time you saw it. Today it reads:
(*´ω`)o That wasn't so bad, was it?
Hey, you know how that old song goes?
Do you believe in magic? (☆▽☆) Do ya?

Hope you found what you were looking for!

You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin. In addition to that, it seems like Home Base is on the fritz again…?

It seems that suddenly and at random, characters will be able to suddenly see visions of memories that aren't their own flash before their eyes. Pieces of your lives or where you were before this will suddenly slam into other's heads, as clearly as if they experienced the event and the feelings themselves. You might have an inkling of where your memory went and what it was - but you'll need to talk it out with that person in order to recollect it in all its strength back to yourself. Don't you want to keep those precious parts of yourself? It's best if you don't fall more to pieces while you're here. (Memories that have been lost in fragments cannot be sent to others - that's more fun for the future!)

There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Or maybe you'll get a glimpse of where you're going next. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:

There's still much more ahead of you.

Er, no, I don't think they're obligated to touch you...

[ oh god, this kid is a dead ringer of someone back home. wonder how tenma's doing right now... ]

Look, just -- get off me for a second, will you? I can't... carry anything heavier than a-- game console...

[ he's sinking to the floor. you're killing his overworked and overgamed back, senri. ]
usogi: (♠ comfortable in my solitude)

[personal profile] usogi 2020-04-11 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh

he's hopping off then, letting go and then fretting, hover hands-ing around itaru like he's not sure if he's allowed to touch him?]


That's a really specific unit of measurement?! Are you okay? I know I haven't been dieting but I didn't think it got that bad!!
rateup: (pic#13585805)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-11 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, you're as light as can be...

[ dieting too? god, kids like him really have it good, huh

itaru's going to pick himself up instead, though. ]


I'm fine, don't worry about it. Been a while since I stayed at a place like this, though. It's like being in a field trip?
usogi: (♠ with love i was taught)

[personal profile] usogi 2020-04-11 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mmmmmm - he looks to Itaru, then back at the rest of the inn. He... might slightly step behind Itaru again, peering around him instead.]

I guess so... Like an onsen all together or something? Ah, it'd be nice to have a normal high school activity like that...

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-11 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't have field trips like this back home?
usogi: (♠ an almost impossibly sunny)

[personal profile] usogi 2020-04-12 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . his expression turns a little withering.]

Eh... Well... Maybe it was my bad luck but my dorm didn't... I hear that the other dorm got to have a nice limo trip to a castle town...

My Dorm Head said that it'd be better for us to go skydiving into a remote forest instead for our bonding activity.

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-12 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... I can sympathize, TBH. I also stayed at a dorm, but one-half of us went out to the forest for summer camp training while the other half went to an inn, kinda like this one. I was soooo jealous.

[ there was no wifi in the wilderness, okay... the struggle u_u ]
usogi: (♠ it was most certainly not)

[personal profile] usogi 2020-04-14 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Right? Right?! Isn't that super unfair! Who gets to choose who lives in the lap of luxury, and who's cast aside into the forest being bullied by a ikemen on a horse! Isn't leaving that to fate just too much?!

[wow he might have some pent up feelings on this matter]

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-15 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
It really is... But sometimes life just isn't fair and we all have to move on.. You could've tried knocking him off his high horse, though.

[ badum-tsh ]

Anyway, don't worry about it. As far as I know, it's all just fancy props and sound effects anyway. I've been here a while and we haven't gotten any random encounters from monsters yet.
usogi: (♠ he awoke just as i hurried)

[personal profile] usogi 2020-04-17 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... you're sure then? [he'll still cross his arms - though on closer inspection it definitely looks like he's just trying to hold himself together] It'd be bad for that to suddenly change, you know...

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-18 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I'm sure. Call it an actor's intuition.

[ what intution. though itaru's surmised that nothing in this space would physically harm them -- this is pretty much a safe zone until they go spelunking into other worlds. ]

Come on, let's get out of here.
usogi: (♠ did not tire)

[personal profile] usogi 2020-04-20 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh...

[he'll go where itaru goes but also he sort of zeroed in on a word:]

You're an actor...?
rateup: (pic#13744730)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-21 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. Well, my stats aren't so high compared to the veterans in my company since I've only started more than a year ago, but yeah I'm an actor. Doesn't help the fact that I have a day job as a salaryman to make ends meet.

[ it's a been a humbling experience for him. ]

Think I forgot to introduce myself, though. Name's Chigasaki Itaru.
usogi: (Default)

[personal profile] usogi 2020-04-21 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh.... what a backstory. senri will just continue to follow along like a duckling, looking thoughtful before offering up a smile]

Nice to meet you, Chigasaki-san! I'm Nito Senri, also an actor! A stage actor to be specific, and first year of Shinonome Academy's Special Class.

[he grins, confident and friendly now that they're getting further away from the creepy stuff]

Hehe, I'd love to see your work sometime. I'm always looking to learn from my senpai?

[he says this but senri is the damn ~*Hope of the Theater*~ but sshhh]

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-22 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
You're a stage actor too, huh? From a performance arts academy, I take it.

[ uwah, so fancy. even their resident child actor back home wanted to go to one. ]

In any case, if you happen to drop by Veludo Way when we get out of here, I'd love to show you around sometime. I belong to Mankai Company's newly reborn Spring Troupe, and we specialize in fantasy plays in particular.

[ which, you know, is perfect for someone like itaru. he really loves this company, ok ]
