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?

Yes! No. I, I am the princess of another castle! [ She waves her hands in panicked circles before putting them behind her back, ] I mean, I live in a palace...
pits: (can I have his hand-me-downs?)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-08 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Crash. So what planet are you from?
peachbaths: (pic#6127288)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-08 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Crash...

[ lmao what does that mean???? ]


I am from a world made by the rukh. [ SINCE MAGI WORLD DOESN'T HAVE A NAME ]
pits: (3)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-08 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that like... the Reach?

[ aka the bad guys. BART WILL NOT BE IMPRESSED!! ]
peachbaths: (pic#6127305)

[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?
pits: (Default)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-09 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No way. They're the bad guys. Super villains. Glad you're not one of them! [ He grins at her. ] I'm from Earth — Future Earth, technically.

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-10 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ LMAO BOY THAT'S NOT HOW YOU CLASSIFY VILLAINS oh well she doesn't know how to voice that ]

Earth... I have not heard of that place before. What is it like?
pits: (I'll take those flannel zebra jammies)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-10 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he doesn't really want to talk about his Earth, so... he'll talk about the one he decided to live in instead!! ]

It's really big, all sorts of different kinds of countries and stuff. Some places are hot, some are cold, lots of people. Pretty crash, actually.

[ it's RETRO. ]

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-10 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At least talking to Bart is getting her mind off her loneliness and loserliness. ]

Oh, that sounds like my world—pardon me, but what do you mean "crash"?
pits: (That people like)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-10 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Crash. Crash. [ dramatic arm wave. ] Crash the mode, super awesome, super crash. That's what!
peachbaths: (pic#6127489)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-11 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Crash... [ SHE THINK IT MEANS SOMETHING AWESOME? COOL? OKAY. ] Then, would you say that your guild is "crash"?
pits: (headin' to the mezzanine)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-11 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I like the team I wason back home more — when I had my speed, you know. But this one isn't so bad. Kind of slow. Kind of sticks in the mud.
peachbaths: (surprise 2)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-13 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
You were on a team before? [ TELL HER MORE ABOUT IT

HER EYES ARE SPARKLING ]
pits: (it's so damn frosty)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-14 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah! A big one, full of kids with super powers and-slash-or super crash training. [ lookin' at you, batfam. ] Kind of a mini Justice League, I guess. I stuck around to take care of Blue mostly, but it was crash. Except uh, getting kidnapped by villains and having your HQ blown up. Not so crash.
peachbaths: (pic#6127305)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-14 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't understand what you mean by Justice League, but it sounds like you go through a lot of hardships together...

Do you suppose whoever kidnapped us is one of those villains?
pits: (I'm gonna pop some tags)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-14 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was considering it. The Reach tried to enslave humanity, [ well they succeeded in his timeline. ] but they didn't act so nice about it, like this place. This world? Seems almost fun.
peachbaths: (pic#6127490)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-15 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That's terrible, I'm sorry... Fun, huh? I suppose it is in comparison to what you've been through. This one person kept calling it a game... Does it truly look like a game to you? I cannot understand it. I have never killed monsters in any of my games before—w-well, except when I pretend.
pits: (that I found diggin')

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-16 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It's kind of similar to retro Earth games. Swords, stones, scavenging other people's foods. [ bart that last one is your deal anywhere. ] If we look into trashcans, I wonder if we'll find a rare item.
peachbaths: (contempt)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-18 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I would rather not do that.

But those games sound fun. Similar to this world, you say? How so? Do they pretend to be warriors and fight monsters?
pits: (that's another man's come-up)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-18 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much. I haven't been able to play many, so I can't say for sure. There's some where you get to save the ladies, get the princess. You know. [ pause. ] Or at least until the sequel. Then villains show up and bl-ow the day, et cetra.

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-18 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hah? Save the princess? Shouldn't princesses be the one doing the saving?
pits: (I call that getting swindled)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-18 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure that happens more in real life than in games. Real princesses tend to kick cans all over the galaxy and back. I dunno any personally from back home, but I'd put my money on Wonder Woman being able to drop kick Pluto back into the solar system.

[ ...bart that's a bit much. ]
peachbaths: (happy 2)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-18 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Right!? [ kougyoku you're pretty enthusiastic about this ] Princesses are... ah, crash!
pits: (I - I - I'm hunting)

[personal profile] pits 2013-05-18 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ OH MY GOD HE'S SO HAPPY WHEN PEOPLE USE HIS LINGO only jaime ever does it............ he grins and balls his hands into fists in excitement. ]

Totally crash!

[ HE'S JUST AS ENTHUSED. HE'S NOT EVEN A PRINCESS. ]
peachbaths: (pic#6127264)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-18 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's just glad he likes princesses. Now she wants to be his friend. ;u; ]

Um, right... I'm Kougyoku!
