welcome to goldvale . intro post #1


It begins with a flash of blinding light.

No matter what they’re doing, the light is so stunning that they pause to shield their eyes. Logically, it seems like such a bright light would hurt their eyes, and yet somehow, it’s not painful at all. It’s strange, but stranger still, a moment later, the ground underneath them is gone. They’re falling, and it feels like they’re falling for a long time as their eyes adjust after that light.

Yet, it’s not long at all—they’re only falling five feet or so. But as they, and others, appear in the air, there’s a shriek of alarm.

“Beryl—Go!!”

A man’s voice shouts after the scream, and as their eyes adjust, they’ll see two blurry figures, the woman running away while the man briefly stands his ground with a dagger raised before he takes advantage of the confusion to flee as well and cover her. You, and all of the other disoriented strangers, have been left alone. There might be a few bruises from the fall, but otherwise, there are no new injuries. It’s a strange lobby, but nothing about it seems helpful to reveal where you are. Following the two figures is fruitless too, since the door at the end of that hallway is sealed shut with magic—no one will be able to pass through.

So, just where are you?

Thank you.

[He gets an excited look.]

I wish you success too!

[Then he realizes what the man said he was doing, and pauses, like he's not sure he should have said it.]
orderispeace: (Now I am going to feed you your teeth)

[personal profile] orderispeace 2013-05-09 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[A noticeable stumble, but understandable given the likely nature of his future work. Perhaps he should be more careful about mentioning his guild to others... not that he held any true loyalty to them.]

Thank you. It should be interesting at least.
totallysane: (so very awkward)

[personal profile] totallysane 2013-05-09 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Mikado gives a thoughtful look.]

You know, it wouldn't do any good anyway. Targeting other new people, I mean. Since we don't have anything yet anyway.

[He steps a little closer, as he talks, since obviously this isn't something you just say aloud. He's good enough at secrets himself, considering how long he hid his identity as the founder of a gang.]
mnemonics: (the secret service)

[ But Noa isn't the kind of person to argue back. She does look down at herself, like that would make it clearer, but then she looks around more. No one seems to look like she does. Her lips purse into a pouting, trouble frown, but she looks back to Mako, pointing at herself. ]

I do look weird compared to all of you...

[ She puts her hands on the side of her face and presses her cheeks together with a look of worry as she looks around again, but of course, nothing becomes clearer. Also, her hands don't move, so she's still squishing her cheeks together as she talks again. ]

U— Um! Is this your planet or something? Is this how you greet people on your planet...?
orderispeace: (Simple conversation)

[personal profile] orderispeace 2013-05-09 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't been targeting anyone.

[Except maybe those would-be thieves earlier.]

Well, at least not for more than a talk. Finding out more about the situation we find ourselves in and the kinds of people who have been brought here felt of more use.

Was the world you came from much like this one?
mnemonics: (remedium)

[personal profile] mnemonics 2013-05-09 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh god you're right DON'T JUDGE MY CASUAL NUDISTS!!! ]

[ But she looks down at her clothes, then back up to the other girl, not seeing anything wrong here... ]


I'm wearing clothes, though... [ Not that she seems to think Kougyoku's clothes are strange—It's sort of similar to what Papatheans and others wear. Skimpy clothes were always more for Sky Dolls. ] Umm... Oh, no, I know! You've never seen a Sky Doll before, right? Gosh, that always does kind of shock people...
totallysane: (thinky)

[personal profile] totallysane 2013-05-09 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Mikado shakes his head.]

Nothing at all like it. The world I'm from is... far more focused on technology. The city I live in is very crowded, full of tall buildings and bright lights. This looks like something from the far past, to me.
orderispeace: (I was leaving)

[personal profile] orderispeace 2013-05-09 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Really? This was old? Haytham couldn't help but wonder what did that say about him then since... ]

The style of buildings seems familiar to me, European even, but some of the technology seems far advanced to what I am more accustomed to.
totallysane: (so very awkward)

[personal profile] totallysane 2013-05-09 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Mikado nods.]

It does seem rather European in nature, though I only know that secondhand, from...

[He starts to say 'movies', then realizes that wouldn't mean anything to someone who found this technology advanced.]

Things like books. Since I've never left Japan before. But the technology definitely seems behind the times for me. And while... there is some evidence where I'm from that the supernatural exists, widespread use of magic like this... is very strange to me.
orderispeace: (Negotiations)

[personal profile] orderispeace 2013-05-09 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[A very good save. Movies would be confusing but books at least he has seen a great deal of. ]

For me as well. Though where I am from it is highly unlikely there is any real magic at all.
I wonder how they manage it here. It must have a more realistic explanation.
totallysane: (soft)

[personal profile] totallysane 2013-05-09 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure.

[Mikado stops to seriously consider it for a moment.]

Are there faeries where you're from, sir?
orderispeace: (Well played)

[personal profile] orderispeace 2013-05-09 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Only in children's story books.

[And he finds the question entirely odd.]

You can't mean to imply there are actual faeries where you are from?
totallysane: (if you say so)

[personal profile] totallysane 2013-05-09 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose it's a silly thing for a boy my age to believe in, isn't it?

[He doesn't bother to explain that he's sure about it, or that he knows a dullahan. It wouldn't do any good, probably. And if anyone from where he's from is here, it's probably best to try to fly under the radar.]
orderispeace: (Default)

[personal profile] orderispeace 2013-05-09 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
It does sound very naive.

[He will change his tune on this when he meets a few of the creatures around here, but for now that does seem terribly silly. ]
totallysane: (soft)

[personal profile] totallysane 2013-05-09 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes it's hard to explain to people what you've seen.

[He shrugs his shoulders.]

You'd probably say the same thing if I told you that at home, I can sit down at my desk and send and receive messages to anyone in the world, instantly, right?
orderispeace: (Arms behind his back)

[personal profile] orderispeace 2013-05-09 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Admittedly we do not have anything that could do that.

[Birds just do not fly fast enough to deliver mail instantaneously. ]

But you do? This is a means of communication that has been developed some time in the course of your world's history?
pits: (3)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-09 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
...Huh. Maybe you're from the past. Or far future.
tophat: ☆ ANIME (do you want this?)

[personal profile] tophat 2013-05-09 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ the choice of guild is one he considers as carefully as he can manage; hirato wants to get to working on a possible escape plan already, but it's painfully clear that he won't get far unless he pushes this dumb guild thing out of the way first. the warriors guild is the one he ends up stopping by last, which is a possible explanation for why he isn't paying as much attention to his surroundings...

yeah, this tag is overdue as shit so yeah collisions happen here and hirato isn't exactly a tiny scrawny dude, so... oopsie!! don't fall flat on your ass or something, little buddy!! ]

[Now that Hirato's closer, Nuri's able to get a better view of him this time. It doesn't take long for a compliment to pop out at all...]

... Wow! What an elegant person! Are you a prince?!

[Hey, Nuri's met the strangest bunch of people. Meeting a prince is actually one of the more normal possibilities.

Since both are looking at him now though, Nuri doesn't get too distracted.]


Ehehe. And it's okay, there's no need to be shy! If what you say is true, then I'm just like you, right? We can find a way out of here faster, together!
tsunderekun: (Tsuns)

GET OUT OF HERE

[personal profile] tsunderekun 2013-05-09 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
[As perspective as ever. Gareki isn't just mad. He's practically steaming.

And nearly choked on his own saliva with each sentence that's coming out of both of their mouths. In what way does that damned four-eyes look like a prince?! He's as shady as... well HIMSELF. Gareki is willing to admit he's not a good person. But at least he's more open about it.

Unlike phony glasses over there.]


This. Isn't. A. Game.

[Gareki says this slowly so everyone can process the situation here.]

I refuse to work with the both of you, especially that person!

[That person in question is Hirato, of course. Not the strange kid that tried to attack him.

P.S. he hates you, Hirato.]
softie: please do not take! (pic#)

[personal profile] softie 2013-05-09 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Nuri has faint distance from the two, so he can't hear them talk. Though, he does hear when Gareki directs a little helpful tip for him.

At that, he easily smiles towards Gareki — even to Tieria after noticing that the Meister picked up his golf bag for him.

After collecting all four clubs, Nuri returns to their side, and looks up at them.]


... Sorry for the commotion earlier, and thank you for the help!
tsunderekun: (Let me tell you something good)

[personal profile] tsunderekun 2013-05-09 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Gareki briefly stops watching Nuri work to pick up after his mess before turning back towards Tieria.]

I'm Gareki, and you are...?

[Not long after, it seems that Nuri has finished up. Gareki is still a little sore from that earlier incident. But he's definitely not the type to hold a grudge against a little boy.]

Learn to gauge the situation more carefully next time, kid.

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-09 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, no. I don't even know what the Reach is. Is that where you are from?
peachbaths: (shy 2)

*not unheard of, whoops

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-09 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She turns away from Tieria and sobs into her sleeves because he is a Jerk who doesn't have Feelings. ]

No. I am alright.

[ Kougyoku is clearly not alright! But if he gives her some time, maybe she will be. ]

Oh, Brother Kouen will be angry...
softie: (try to listen to it. my melody.)

[personal profile] softie 2013-05-09 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nuri will let the two friends converse in peace. Meanwhile, he's looking up at Gareki... He's smiling, but he's actually wondering about something.

As they talk, the little Korean decides to gently walk, standing behind Gareki. He suddenly tugs the taller boy down and checks the back of his head, patting it a little to check for a bruise.]


I can do a lot, just wait and see! Also, you don't have to call me "little..." I'm old enough not to be called that. You don't seem any older than me, either.
