You blink and that's all it takes. At first, the picture doesn't come in clear, like you're waiting for a screen to fully load -- more aptly, it's like you're waiting for a camera to focus so you can find image clarity. Before you happened to rapidly close your eyes and open them, your life was normal...well, normal for you, anyway. Fighting an alien, making a quesadilla, dying. And then that blurry picture suddenly takes over. There's a lot to take in here -- you feel weird, your surroundings are weird. Everything is just weird. For starters, there's that new piece of jewelry inserted in the space above your chest. That certainly wasn't there before you opened your eyes.
B ▢ Other new arrivals aren't so lucky as to arrive in the warm embrace of an apartment's bed. It's currently raining in Shehui, and because of the current post-winter temperature, the rain is certainly cold. You're now in the middle of a busy street, out in the open -- no umbrella to your name. You have the opportunity to grab some shelter underneath an awning or run into a building. Or will someone take pity on you? Or are you not bothered by a sudden, frigid downpour? C ▢ Shehui is looking to celebrate an upcoming holiday -- Yeunai. Something of a bonding holiday that celebrates a variety of relationships, Shehui residents are really into this consumer, capitalist bonanza. On certain Shehui streets are mats that read the ID data of those that stand on them. Whether or not you'd like to take part in this little shindig, a nearby machine will random spit out some data about you and another person on the same long mat. (Need some guidance? Here's a love calculator!) That's a good ice-breaker, right? D ▢ Despite Shehui's distrust of magic, faux magic isn't a big deal. In fact, there's currently a showcase of street performers making money with their craft. Located around Shehui's famed tower, there's a lot of room for some real magic here. Want to take yours for a spin? It's easy enough to simply say you can't reveal your secrets when you're asked about a certain talent. E ▢ With how prominent cell phones are in Shehui, a lot of new and old arrivals have them by now -- you, newbie, might have already picked one up! Despite not having anyone on your contact list yet, you do seem to be getting quite a few messages...though they aren't going to your cell phone. Instead, they're being telepathically broadcast into your head, or even before your eyes! On the opposite end of the spectrum, it's very likely that you're transmitting your own accidental telepathic broadcast...but what are you saying, exactly? F ▢ Another fun activity -- Chips! is always open! Today they're hosting their regular games, but there's also a SongWars competition, including a huge stage and everything. While you may not know the words to these strange, alien pop songs, the crowd may turn in your favour if you put on a good show regardless. What do you win for besting your champion? A nice plastic trophy and a big Chocorrone. G ▢ For some people, the whole "kidnapped to another world with new magic and cell phones and shit" is actually...kind of a downer. For those of you who want to enjoy the evening and maybe meditate for a while, there are plenty of parks with benches that allow you to sit and think. You may not want company, but it may find you regardless... H ▢ Wildcard! How will your character react to this strange world? |
i'm already laughing so good start
He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose before answering. ]
I was walking down a street from my campus and the next thing I know, I'm here in bed with a stranger.
[ He gestures at Python. ]
You probably won't believe this but....magic.
lmfao same though i love your michel!
Not that Python actually cares that much.] Oh, yeah. I think I get it.
[He spreads his arms and, completely insincerely,] Welcome to Shehui, then. Not so welcome to my bed.
[Magic though? He frowns up at Michel, lowering his arms.] What? Magic's gonna change how you look right now?
(python voice) here from another world? not my problem
It's not like I came here on purpose! I don't even like talking to people! I wouldn't choose to come to another world via bed portal when I'm trying to get engaged.
[ He has so much he needs to figure out, so little time to be enraged by this stranger is surprisingly good at pushing buttons. ]
I'm a normal human! I can't do magic on my own. The last time this happened I didn't even have a body for a while.
what about HIS problems, he asks???
None of us are really here 'cause we wanna be, you know? You and your bed portal... [And, come on, what? That's his bed!] Are just gonna have to stay here for a while, sorry.
[He holds his hands in front of him then, holding back a laugh. Ohhhhh, this guy is extra crazy. He's pretty sure he hasn't run into no body powers just yet here.]
You trying to tell me magic was playing keep away with your body?
if he had any motivation he could make his own rapture
Luckily for Python, Michel's had to explain the circumstances of his deepest traumas of the past life so he's had practice. ]
No. I was dead. A curse was playing keep away with my soul until I was able to return to life.
no subject
Huh, that's rough.]
Ouch. Yeah, I ain't real familiar with curses, but how do you end up with one like that?
[Being sensitive? Haha, maybe some other time]
