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?

[ His dodge is successful, so Kougyoku attempts to gain footing once more and crouches. Then, she holds her sword with both hands and lunges once for an upward piercing attack. ]

I saw your fight from here.

[ So she's taking this match seriously, too. ]

Where do you hail from?

[He returns it with an equally incredulous look. Unlike her, he comes from a world where magic are confined to stories and movies when they are not theater gimmicks. Naturally, he's not going to look at it seriously, not until he sees it at work anyway.]

Yes, I've seen them, in children tales and fantasy movies. [Rolling his eyes in slight irritation.] I told you, they are simply illusionist.

[ Falling into an unknown area would be confusing for most, Yogi being no exception as stumbles around, thoughts in a jumble. What happened before this? How did he end up here? And that light...

He holds his head as if to focus his attention on walking, but the new sites and settings unwilling allow his eyes to wander...

... that was until he noticed a familiar face.
]

G... Gareki-kun!? [ Wait wait wait, so he had ended up here as well? That's great! Yogi was worried as to where his friends had gone, but seeing Gareki only meant that the others were close behind! HE'S SO GLAD TO SEE YOU SAFE GAREKI HE'S SO GLAD TO SEE YOU

being attacked... by a little boy... with golf clubs...

What.
]

Waaaah wait wait! Don't hurt him!! [ Still clearly distorted, the blond wastes no time dashing over to be in the middle of the fray.

His solution? Snatch the smaller boy up by his waist and hold him up into the air.
]

You have to be careful with those, little guy! Swinging those around is very, very dangerous! [ GAREKI WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS LITTLE BOY HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO SCOLD YOU LATER. ]
buildyourworld: (You are unfit!)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2013-05-06 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[One of the golf club has rolled to him in the middle of that mess. Picking it up, he heads toward them to return it, only to end up using it to parry the swing aimed at Gareki. It's a good thing he's trained in handling weapons and as such, he's able to redirect the golf club from hitting either of them. Turning his attention to the boy once he's sure the taller one did not get hit, he glares at him with a very unimpressed face.]

Put it down before I neutralized you. [He isn't really planning on doing that but he's in crisis mode and he's not in the mood to be nice, even to a kid. Especially one who swings steel at another person without provocation.]

[ Wow a place people can't get out of!! After trying the door that had been used earlier (and failing), Bart's decidedly not impressed - he can just vibrate right out of there! Being a speedster was awesome. Leaning his hand against the nearest wall, he activates his super power of super speed to super vibrate his molecules to super get out of there and

super does not go anywhere!!! He pats his neck once, then the communication device at his ear. Nada, zip, zilch. Bart groans. ]


That's not a good sign.

[ NOT CRASH AT ALL, JERKS. And now you made him look super uncool. The crash landing wasn't all that crash, but this was even worse. ]
buildyourworld: (At the shopping district)

Scarlett Dragons | OTA

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2013-05-06 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[After surveying all the guilds available and spending two nights out in the wild, he decided on the Scarlett Dragons. He's still finding his situation difficult to believe, that he has somehow ended up in a world similar to those he has read about in novels. It's certainly not the kind of place he'll find himself in willingly. Someone has taken him here without his consent and he'll find out who it is so he can return home. For now, he'll settle what's necessary first. Lodging, money, food and information. He needs all that and the Scarlett Dragons affiliation with the Royal Guards certainly suits his aim.

Taken to his room, he has quickly showered and changed into the second hand clothes (which are thankfully clean) given to him. Putting on the training gears or rather, bulky beginner's armors is more work than he thought but he manages to get them attached to the right places. When he's sure he has everything right, he picks up the heavy lance and shield and heads off to the training ground.

But before that, he's off exploring along the way, making sure to recognize his way so he wouldn't be lost later. When he sees a marked door or rooms that people gathers about, he walks up to someone to find out what they are before continuing.]


What room is this?

[By the time he reaches the training ground, he realizes the member of this guild are rather self-sufficient. Plenty of them are practicing in their own space, some alone, some with partners. Eyeing the wide open space for an empty spot, he heads over to start practicing with his weapons. Despite being trained in multiple weapons, a lance is something he has never used. Though they are somewhat similar to a staff except a lance is clearly made for stabbing and piercing. Still, he made no complain and begins, swinging the lance experimentally to figure out how best to use it. Perhaps someone could show him how to use it, but for now, he'll try and figure it out himself.]
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔TALK〕❀ oh,seriously)

sometime later in the week is that good enough

[personal profile] lightspins 2013-05-06 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Marta's finally starting to get settled in at the Performer's Guild, but that doesn't mean she likes staying cooped inside practicing all day. The Silverbourne District is quiet during the day (not that she takes part in the nighttime activities gosh!!), so she's really just on her way to somewhere more lively when she passes by Kougyoku.]

Er, sorry, were you talking to me?
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔SIGH〕✿ our hero has just gone too far)

[personal profile] lightspins 2013-05-06 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I only wish I knew. [Marta lets out a big sigh. One minute she was out of Cape Fortress finally, next she was... Wherever here was.] Hey, you haven't seen a blonde boy around here have you? He wears a scarf.

[Granted there were a bunch of people she was just with, but finding Emil and Tenebrae was priority. In fact, it was more alarming that Tenebrae hadn't made himself visible yet. The idea that he couldn't be here with her didn't even cross her mind.]
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔TALK〕❀ oh,seriously)

[personal profile] lightspins 2013-05-06 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What's not a good sign? [Since all she saw was him putting his hand on... the wall.... Is there supposed to be something special there or something.]
pits: ((Piiisssssss!!!!!))

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-06 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
The fact that I can't phase right through this wall.

[ People in his world know about superheroes, so he doesn't really explain much more... ]
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔CORE〕✿ to shut it all out)

[personal profile] lightspins 2013-05-06 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
... uh-huh, right. [The disbelief is strong with this one... No really she's giving him the flattest stare possible.]
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔YELL〕✿ i can't fall and i can't fail)

Emil! Tenebrae! [There's one petite girl with giant flowers in her hair walking around, trying to find her companions. If she ended up here, then surely they must have come along too since they were with her, right?] Come on, you can't have just ditched me...

[Sighing, she leans against what ends up being the sealed door. It takes her a minute, but she remembers seeing two people run out through here... Of course, when she tries to open it, the door won't even budge. CLEARLY THERE'S ONLY ONE THING TO DO HERE.

So don't mind the banging on the door and even more yelling.]


Hey, let us out of here! I know there are people outside, so come back here and let us out!
compassions: (Eh?)

[personal profile] compassions 2013-05-06 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even more reason to get out. Estelle doesn't exactly wish to worry her friends about her disappearance -- especially after what just happened.

Hopefully they don't jump to any such conclusions.

Then looking at her shield in one hand and a sword in the other, she shakes her head.]


No. I was traveling with my friends and given how often we fight, we're almost always armed.
compassions: (Content)

[personal profile] compassions 2013-05-06 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Looking around at the slew of people, Estelle could easily tell that whatever boy she was looking for was likely not here. While the description is vague, with what she was given, well... all she could do is respond with a gentle shake of her head.]

I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone by that description. However, I will keep a lookout for him. May I ask what his name is?
beastlier: (nose...)

[personal profile] beastlier 2013-05-06 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
What's not? The wall feel weird or something?

[ evidently, Apollo's not impressed, either; he's crouching nearby, wondering what this guy was doing touching the wall while trying to find some sort of familiar scent in the place. Or just the scent of food. Neither of which he's succeeding at. ]
pits: (get some compliments)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-06 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, no... It's pretty wall-y. [ like wally west-- oh man he is so so funny!!!! ] Too wall-y.
compassions: (Giggle)

[personal profile] compassions 2013-05-06 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[The fact that there were guilds here intrigued Estelle to no end. Of course, she had to wonder if they were connected with the Union, but given that announcement, it was clear to her she's no longer on Terca Lumireis. Still, she can't help but be excited by the fanatical nature of everything here -- speaking with the people, the castle that they were stuck in, everything about it! Honestly, she would swear she was in her own world if it weren't for the different people here who honestly have no idea what she's talking on about.

But she spots the boy and can't help but approach him with her usual smile. With her hands behind her back, she tilts her head as she greets him.]


Hello! Are you not from this place either?

[Well, Estelle had observed him and figured out as much, but it's rude to just plain state that, right?]
beastlier: (PUNCHATRON 2000 ACTIVATION)

[personal profile] beastlier 2013-05-06 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Amazingly, Apollo actually listens to what he has to say, although he grows less and less patient as time goes on. From what this guy is saying, it certainly doesn't sound like the afterlife or anything weird like that, though he never gave much credit to beliefs like that in the first place. But, regardless of what he believed before, the fact is that he almost definitely died, and he's almost definitely not in the same world he used to be.

Once Hubble's done talking, Apollo takes a step forward, apparently ready to launch into questioning (or maybe a tirade, judging by the annoyed look on his face), but he's not gonna get that opportunity. ]


-- Hey!! Come back here, you old coot!! We're not done here! Grrr...!

[ And, just like any reasonable person, he... drops down to all fours, sniffing around the ground where the old man was just standing. Okay, maybe not reasonable. But where the heck did that guy go? Was he a Shadow Angel or something?! ]
beastlier: (PURE BEAUTIFUL 12000 YEAR LOVE)

[personal profile] beastlier 2013-05-06 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
What's that supposed to mean? It's just a wall. You wanna get rid of it?

[ this guy is weird. But as he finishes that last sentence, he stands up to his full (not very impressive) height, walking over to touch the wall himself. Then, after a moment of consideration, he grits his teeth, pulls back a fist, and punches it. Hard.

Yep. Any moment now, that wall should be shattering...

Actually, it feels more like his fist is shattering... he draws back in silent pain, slowly bending over his poor injured hand. Looks like someone else is missing his powers. ]

[ DON'T LOOK NOW, there's some kid staring at you strangely; he's got on these red pajamas (???) with a really swag cape, and on his face is a pair of shades, perched high enough to shield his eyes from all ye who gaze upon. He's got this posture of Are you fucking kidding me?: mouth slightly agape, back slightly slumped. His arms are dangling at his side and he's still fucking staring at you, whoever you might be. What the hell?

See, what had happened was simple: one minute he was gaping at some erroneous abomination of what was supposedly one of his best friends, and the next, he was falling. Now, after picking himself up, it's no surprise he stares absentmindedly at the first person he sees.

You people are all the same, either really fucking pretty or really fucking unfamiliar.

[ he's not even lying about this one!!!!!!! ]

I'm a Flash, we can all do it. [ ... ] Okay well I'm not a Flash Flash, but I'm related to him! And Kid Flash too! [ CLEARLY YOU MUST KNOW THE FLASH. EVERYONE KNOWS HIM. ] So I'm Not The Flash, and Not Kid Flash, and I'm definitely Not Speedy, but I'm still one of them. And you know who can vibrate their molecules so fast that they can phase through walls?

THE FLASH!

[ he said all of that in half a breath, and with a dramatic flail of his arms, bart ends his speech. ]

[Truth be told...! It's not as if Nuri was seriously aiming at Gareki. He was just putting up a front for self-defense.

Having Tieria run in and suddenly parry his swing like that, it definitely causes Nuri to be even more defensive. He steps back once, clearly dumbfounded at the unfamiliar face's words the most.]


Neutralize me!? So, you people really are after me!

[Nuri is still doing his best to sound strong, but he's really just a kid in the end. He doesn't look like someone who can potentially hurt anyone. He takes a few steps back, but he seems hesitant.

It's because Tieria has one of his precious golf clubs. If he can help it, he wouldn't ever want to run because of it.]
tsunderekun: (More annoyances are coming..)

[personal profile] tsunderekun 2013-05-06 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
['Neutralize', Tieria? Really?

Not that Gareki isn't grateful that some stranger has come to his aid. He's just... not really good at showing his appreciation. But to do that to little kid may be too much.]


I think everyone needs to calm down first. Especially you, you little runt.

[Pointing at Nuri. Neutralizing him might be too much. But Gareki wants to punch the boy in the head for landing on top of him and for everything else that happens afterwards.]

Why would anyone want a little kid like you anyway?

[Gareki is looking at Tieria now. If he hadn't made such a violent threat, Gareki would assume he's a pretty sensible people that have been trapped here. Well, he seemed calm enough before Nuri started going a little insane.
