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?

no subject
[And he finds the question entirely odd.]
You can't mean to imply there are actual faeries where you are from?
no subject
[He doesn't bother to explain that he's sure about it, or that he knows a dullahan. It wouldn't do any good, probably. And if anyone from where he's from is here, it's probably best to try to fly under the radar.]
no subject
[He will change his tune on this when he meets a few of the creatures around here, but for now that does seem terribly silly. ]
no subject
[He shrugs his shoulders.]
You'd probably say the same thing if I told you that at home, I can sit down at my desk and send and receive messages to anyone in the world, instantly, right?
no subject
[Birds just do not fly fast enough to deliver mail instantaneously. ]
But you do? This is a means of communication that has been developed some time in the course of your world's history?
no subject
[He's still thinking pretty hard.]
I guess it all depends on the perspective then. That would probably seem like magic to a lot of people.
no subject
Maybe not, but it was a thought. The strange writing and glows from the pieces of technology the First Civilization had left behind often took on a spiritual meaning for those who didn't know any better.
He still didn't know if that applied to faeries but...]
You've made a very valid point. I suppose there will be a great deal to adjust to here.
You haven't by chance run across anyone who claims to understand why we are here? Most seem as in the dark about it as we are.
no subject
[He makes a face.]
When I arrived, people were fighting and blaming each other, but no one I've seen in person has seemed to actually know anything. I guess it's going to take some investigation to find anything out.
no subject
[He hadn't seen so much of that really but it made sense. ]
People do react poorly in situations where they are uncertain. I'll keep looking then. I'm bound to find some answers in time.
no subject
It's a very normal reaction. I've seen it happen before, so I recognized it pretty quickly.
[He pauses.]
Might I ask you to contact me if you find anything out? My name is Ryuugamine - ah wait, that's my family name, so you would probably put it last. You can call me Mikado.
no subject
Mekaido.
[But A for effort? Japanese names are strange to him. ]
Haytham Kenway. As long as you share what you might discover with me as well?
[Networking. With more people looking for answers they had a better chance of finding some]
no subject
Of course. I wouldn't ask without reciprocating. And I think we'd learn more if we put our heads together anyway.
[He offers a polite bow.]
It's very nice to meet you, Mr. Kenway.
no subject
[It would have been better if they had met under different circumstances but...]
It has been interesting making your acquaintance as well.
no subject
[Mikado smiles.]
I think I will try to find a safer place to do my thinking, but thank you very much for your concern.
no subject
[The concern, he nodded in a kind of 'don't mention it' way. That was no big deal. He'd been curious about the younger man anyway. ]
no subject
[Mikado gives another little bow, as if not sure what else to say.]
no subject
[Haytham nodded and took a step back in preparation for wandering off and exploring the rest of this city himself. ]
