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?

( oh wow that's uh that's great kougyoku!!!!!!!!!! [oh] )

It's unfortunate you don't have a lot of friends, but that doesn't mean you won't make any later, right?

( iva stands up, smoothing her skirt down as she does before offering the girl a hand. )

Come on. Let's ride one!

[ kougyoku looks at iva, then iva's hand. wow is this the real life... is she finally not a loser ]

Do you mean it? Truly? [ woahhh. she hesitantly takes the woman's hand and stands up. ] I, I am Kougyoku!

( no she's probably still a loser but iva-nee will work her hardest to make her a little less of a loser every day. )

What a pretty name.

( like a gentleman would a lady, iva ever so gently leads her to the dock. i have a phobia of bodies of water larger than a bathtub so i have no idea how boats work. )

And I'm Iva. It's really nice to meet you, Kougyoku.

[ oh well Kougyoku thinks Iva is cool already, but lbr anyone can be cooler than Kougyoku. She's looking at Iva in admiration and her eyes are sparkling.

okay let's just skip to the part where they're already in the boat and some guy is rowing it for them as they sit back and enjoy the ride. ]


Wow... I heard that the Tinwick district had the most beautiful flora in the city, so I wanted to try seeing it from here. Thank you very much.

Are you also from the castle?

( sweet, iva is smiling happily and matronly, trying to be a good role model for poor kougyoku. maybe a little encouragement will help her gain some confidence in the hallowed art of friend-making? )

Flowers, you say? I bet they would look beautiful from a lake.

( her smile takes a sheepish lilt to it. )

I don't get the chance to do this kind of thing often. Being able to relax like this with a cute friend is nice though. --But I'm not from the castle. I came here suddenly like everyone else.

( a pause as she leans back slightly to look up at the clouds. the sky looks so inoffensive and unchanged, it's hard for iva to believe it's not the same one she's used to staring at. )

I guess we really are from different worlds.

[ Iva called her a friend, wah... Kougyoku straightens up and feels a little more comfortable now. Although Kougyoku said she wanted to see the flowers, she can't focus on anyone else than her new friend! ]

What did you do? Back in your world.

[ She didn't seem like the busy type, but Kougyoku doesn't want to assume anything. ]

Me?

( iva looks back at kougyoku with her usual cool smile. )

I worked for the government. My specialty was capturing criminals, to keep my country safe.

( she wasn't about to tell her everything about circus, but she figured that was vague enough to satisfy the girl's curiosity. )

What about you, Kougyoku?

Wow! Then you must be a very strong warrior! [ Kougyoku is often gullible, but she has no reason to dismiss Iva's words as falsehoods. She knows of many fierce female fighters back home, too. ]

I... also worked for the government. [ She looks at her lap. It's a half-truth. ] I was a warrior. Mm, no, I am a warrior. That will never change.
