( 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.

[nO DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM]

He...hehehehehehe...

[He's trying really hard to be cool but his laugh is somewhere between nerdy wheezing and that kind of embarrassing sound high school girls make in anime when they're fantasizing about their crushes.]

I got called cool...uh, I mean, of course I'm cool! After all, is there nothing cooler than a gentle spring breeze? I am the great and pOH MY GOD?! WHAT WAS THAT SOUND JUST NOW?! YOU HEARD IT TOO, RIGHT?

[The cradling is more like clinging now.]

[IMMEDIATELY, HE'S CHANGING HIS TUNE.]

Ha?! Ha?! The protector becomes the protected?! Isn't that too much? Don't I deserve to be coddled a lit—
usogi: (♠ ten years on from that)

[personal profile] usogi 2020-04-14 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[there's definitely another bump in the night and senri is ABSOLUTELY JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE HE'S AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS POSSIBLE, clutching onto this stranger because he has even a 2% better chance of survival this way.]

Hey! Cool protector bishounen-san! Don't drop me, okay? W-We're in this together! Together!
woooosh: (ufufufu.....)

I-In times like these...when the enemy is concealed by shadow that obscures even the flash of my spear...

[Which he doesn't have,]

A-A temporary retreat is perhaps a tactical necessity! Hold steadfast, my mortal companion!

[All this to say he's booking it down the hall holding onto Senri like his life depends on it. If nothing else he at least seems genuinely motivated to get him the heck outta here.

After a minute or two of running, Grimnir comes to a stop, listening intently for mysterious noises...but the hall is silent. For now, at least. He sighs in relief and gently puts Senri down.]


Should that unseen fiend show its face again.......

[No, wait. He can't say that if it never showed its face. This is the worst. That's twice he's messed up now.]

......

[He looks like he's given up.]

[WELL, AT LEAST HE'S NOT BEING ABANDONED.

And that - unfortunately, is enough for Senri. he'll 100% cling onto this weird eccentric person as long as it gets him to safety, and he'll let himself be deposited on the ground. sort of. he's still standing really close because he's jumpy and fearing for his life,

but when the weirdo seems to stall, senri blinks and - rushes to assist.]


Y-You'll help out again, right? I'm relying on you!

Uh - I'm Senri! Nito Senri, and I'm in your care now!!

Of course! Even if I can't think of anything cool to say and my mind's a complete blank when I try to fall back on material I've been rehearsing for years! I'll protect you from any harm that may befall you while under my protection! The winds of misfortune may blow this way, but they will inevitably fall to my own power...for you see, I am the Mad Cyclone...I am wind itself! I am Griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimniiiiiiiiiir!

[Ah, this would be so much cooler if he had his lance. But for now, one of his stock poses will have to do.]

...It's nice to meet you, Senri!! That's a really neat name!

[And then he holds his hand out for a handshake like he hasn't just been needlessly loud and dramatic in a spooky, dark corridor.]

[ . . . . senri hates that he's sort of like 'oh, kin' but like. he kind of is. only a little bit though, because only the real first half of that monologue managed to resonate with him. but it's apparently enough to endear grimnir to him in a little bit more of a genuine way and not a 'you seem like you could protect me' way.

so he just laughs a little bit before reaching out his hand for a matching handshake]


Thanks! Don't know if my name can live up to the Mad Cyclone though....

And between you and me? I think you're pretty cool. [he punctuates the sentence with a wink, giving his new friend a grin] Both rehearsed and unrehearsed.
woooosh: (pLEASE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY)

[personal profile] woooosh 2020-04-22 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Fufufufu! If such a matter concerns you, I will bequeath upon you your own title! Though it will take time for me to discern what you should be called...words have power, so a title must be created after no small amount of consideration.

[He'll give Senri the most fearsome and impressive title in the skies!! Or it'll just be more chuuni bullshit, hard to say.

For now, though, he'll carefully take a look around before taking some careful steps forward, gesturing for Senri to follow close behind him. He might have someone to look after, but he still wants to take a look around his new surroundings, after all.]


...In any case, I have not been to many inns, but this one seems...how do I put this...for a place meant for rejuvenation and rest, isn't it...really bad for it to be this scary...?

[Is he missing something? There's still so much about mortals he doesn't understand, but creepy groaning in the halls and footsteps that don't belong to anyone seem pretty scary to him...]
