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?

[Even though he tried his best not to show it Latvia felt a little out of place in this district. Allegedly this was the district to go if you wanted a drink but with such a baby face the risk of getting kicked out of any place he dared to look at in was extraordinarily high. When Dio suddenly stepped out in front of him he stumbled back a few paces. This wasn't a mugging, was it?]

The lake? Uh...

I'm afraid not, I only arrived here recently. I'm not very familiar with the city yet.

[No it's not a mugging!! He is completely innocent. And not deterred in the least -- if anything, this is even better than what he'd planned.]

That's great! Do you want to come find it with me?
balzams: (Upset ● Complaining)

[personal profile] balzams 2013-05-16 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
If you're going to rob me I don't have anything valuable!

If you're going to kill me there's no point!

[So that's probably a no]
lucena: (dio for god's sake)

[personal profile] lucena 2013-05-16 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Whoa there. Taking a step back and, well, staring. Slow down friend.]

I was inviting you to find the lake! Stop- [what is he even doing] stop that!
balzams: (Upset ● Tearful)

[Latvia takes a step back and seems to compose himself]

I'm sorry.

It's just that I'm not used to strangers asking me to do such things. Not to mention this is an unfamiliar environment to me.
lucena: (do we even have cats)

[personal profile] lucena 2013-05-16 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Reserved people... He can do this, he can be Socially Acceptable.]

That's why we should go to the lake. [....] It's okay to be nervous, but you can't be nervous all the time.
balzams: (Uneasy ● Unwanted)

[personal profile] balzams 2013-05-16 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm aware of that, before I came here I can assure you I wasn't nervous in the slightest.

[He can be nervous surrounded by hundreds of people with big swords and the power to burn him alive if he wanted to]
lucena: (LET'S GO LUCCIOLA)

[personal profile] lucena 2013-05-16 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah but can he go to the lake.

A moment's pause, and a scrutinizing look.]


I'm not convinced.
balzams: (Uneasy ● Anxious)

[personal profile] balzams 2013-05-16 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
Shouldn't I be allowed to be nervous when I get taken somewhere unfamiliar without warning? I'm sorry, but I don't see why I should have to convince you...

[Yes, he can go to the lake. He probably just needs to be dragged there]
lucena: (wow......what's doing work)

[personal profile] lucena 2013-05-16 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dang, the stranger doth protest too much.]

You don't.

[Said pretty plainly. He's just saying - he doesn't need a whole annotated presentation about being nervous. It's--fine??]

Shouldn't you try to get familiar with the place?
balzams: (Uneasy ● Small)

[personal profile] balzams 2013-05-17 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, well... I guess...

[Latvia shrinks back a little bit. Sometimes he can get a little caught up in being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn]

That's what I was doing just now. I haven't seen any lakes yet though.
lucena: (BAD FASHION)

[personal profile] lucena 2013-05-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Sooo- [Come on, you're getting there-] we find it!

[he's excited who else is excited]

Did you see anything interesting? Anything at all?
balzams: (Uneasy ● Confronted)

[personal profile] balzams 2013-05-18 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not Latvia, that's for sure]

Th-this whole place is interesting, I've never seen anything like it.

...

And what do you mean we?
