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?

[he's very sure! he nods again, affirmatively. he doesn't look too hurt, after all - maybe a little dazed initially, but no real injuries on him.

he's still not ... talking, though.]

[ she nods... but the gears in her head are turning. hang on just a second! ]

...Are you able to speak?

[finger points to his throat. he shakes his head "no". guess that answers that much, doesn't it?

he even looks apologetic!]

[ ah... that's definitely loud and clear. she doesn't think that she's ever met someone that was mute before - at least, not in her memory.

she's able to read the apologetic look on his face, and she immediately responds. ]


It's all right, I understand. [ a smile? ] Do you have any other way of communicating, by any chance?

[he scrunches up his face for a moment, as if thinking, and then taps the bracelet - the accessory they'd been given to enchant. a display and keyboard pops up, and he begins typing something quickly -- it should be noted that he's not actually looking at the keys once he's doing this, he's still looking at her.]

Can you see this?

[if she accesses her accessory, anyway.]

[ she's been fiddling around with her necklace for the last while, but wasn't exactly sure what to make of it. the jewel had no doubt been enchanted somehow, but the magic it used was unlike anything she had ever seen before.

once she activates her gem, the text pops up. fascinating! ]


Yes... I can see it. Is that how our enchanted jewelry functions, then?

[ what is this magic ]

[personal profile] derpiest 2013-05-20 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
I think so. It makes it a lot easier for me. You just sort of concentrate on who you want to send a message.

[and he's beaming, delighted. he'd be happy to show her how it works!!!]

[personal profile] advisable 2013-05-21 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. I'm sure it must provide a world of convenience. [ she has so many more questions, but now isn't the right time for it. she'll have to examine her necklace on her own time. ]

May I ask what your name is?
derpiest: (your hand in mine)

[personal profile] derpiest 2013-05-22 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Rion!

[he thinks it's a perfectly good time, but rion's just happy to be paid attention to, tbh.]

What's your name? [he's beaming at her. ah, she's so nice too! is everyone here really nice?]

[personal profile] advisable 2013-05-29 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
My name is Robin. It's a pleasure to meet you, Rion.

[ she's glad to see so many friendly people here! it's a breather from all of the powerhungry warlords, violent Risen and enemy army captains she's met over the past few years, that's for sure.

she offers him a shallow curtsy. it's a habit she's picked up from being married into royalty, despite the second war they were recently plunged into. ]

[he doesn't actually make a noise, but the expression is clearly laughing - it's sort of silly looking seeing her do that, but it fits, somehow.

he's of much the same mind - except instead of powerhungry warlords and violent Risen he gets apathetic school administrators and asshole sports players. same thing, right?]


Pleased to meet you too! :) Are you from somewhere like this, too?

[personal profile] advisable 2013-06-15 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh nooooo! she turns a little pink at his "laughter", but smiles all the same. it probably does look a bit silly from another person's perspective. ]

Yes, somewhat. My world and this one share some similarities, but the differences definitely outweigh them.

Like how? I know a bunch of people are from worlds like this one...

[maybe it's rude to be so nosy but he looks genuinely interested! man, people here are so cool.]

Well, elemental magic is a part of everyday life in my world. Me and and a number of my allies were able to utilize it. The general marketplace infrastructure is also familiar to me... But the existence of Guilds isn't.

[oh, wow! that sounds really interesting, and he's just looking up at her all starry-eyed.]

There's magic where I'm from, but it's not really the same... not like it is here. Your world sounds really cool, though!

[everything sounds cool to him, honestly.]
