WORLD ONE: AIMINTAS

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... Some of you might open your eyes to find yourself wandering around a sandy area, outside of a large stone house. There's a large glimmering caravan floating around outside, which might intrigue you. There's also a lot of supplies, food, clothing...all just laying around outside. It's worth investigating, right?
- A1: Once your character touches the caravan, they can't remove their appendage from it. Kick it? Their foot is stuck. Touch it? Their hand is stuck. Lick it? Their tongue is stuck. They'll remain like this for 15 minutes without magical intervention. - A2: Your character's hand doesn't stay for long, but the caravan holds onto that hand for five seconds while giving your character a pretty excruciating burn. Medic! B ▢ Maybe they're smart and they don't touch the caravan. Let's go through all of this cool stuff on the ground! It might be sort of obvious that it belongs to someone -- a lot of someone's -- but your character is thirsty, confused...maybe there's some water or answers in this pile. And maybe there's also someone who catches your character going through their shit. |

Other new potential coven members will find themselves in a completely different part of town. These lucky individuals will have suddenly appeared in the marketplace area of Aimintas, surrounded by walking lizard beings that suddenly turn and take an immediate interest in this stranger.
On the other hand, you might learn something interesting talking to them. A friend might join in either way! D ▢ Once you break free of the Palai, you'll find that this marketplace is pretty interesting. It's a mixture of primitive and semi-modern technology...or is it totally unfamiliar to you? Never seen a cellphone before? Unfamiliar with the concept of women wearing pants? There's certainly something to see that'll interest your character here. E ▢ Finally, you might be hungry and thirsty after suddenly appearing. The Palai are masters of making food, including a new concoction of theirs that they're trying out in honor of all the new people. It's a sort of bottled fruit juice that has been energized by the Eltos. It's essentially the first Aimintas Red Bull, except on acid. The drink immediately makes anyone who drinks it extremely giddy, hyper and they may potentially hallucinate. It doesn't seem to bother the Palai's biology, but everyone else...oops! |

The setting found in Aimintas is pretty expansive, so you have a lot of room to wander around. Here are a few things that might catch your eye if you're really committed to wandering around.
G ▢ The Palai have constructed a large library in the middle of town. If you wander in here, you'll find a myriad of books in a strange language. The Palai are a rather visual people, though, so many include pictures and illustrations. They also have a collection of computers here that connect to the Aimintas internet, as well as visual media stations that can play videos -- though they're really just powered tablets that play video files. Time to get a little taste of the Palai culture. H ▢ Wildcard prompt. Go nuts and utilize your own creativity within the setting. This can mean striking out on your own or utilizing a certain location in a different way. The world is your oyster! |
a1-b!!!
Riku! You're here!
[ He sounds very excited to state the obvious. He's so distracted by the fact that his friend's here that he hasn't quite noticed the part where he's stuck to the caravan yet. Whoops. ]
no subject
Or so he thinks.]
Sora! I'm glad you found me. I could use a little help.
[He's so ready to get un-stuck from the caravan that he'll worry about being embarrassed later.]
no subject
Huh? With what? You okay?
[ Sora holy shit he's stuck to the caravan. ]
no subject
I'm stuck, Sora. To the caravan. I can't get loose on my own.
no subject
Hey, you really are stuck to it! How'd you manage that?
no subject
That's what I would like to know. All I did was brush up against it and then...this. It has to be some kind of magical protection or something.
no subject
Well, there's gotta be some way to get you off of it, right? [ Are you ready for his big plan, Riku? Because here it comes: ] Maybe if I pull harder ...
[ There he goes, grabbing both of Riku's arms this time and pulling (fruitlessly). ]
no subject
Sora, I really don't think that's going to-[And he's pulling.]
...to work.
no subject
Man, you're really on there, Riku.
[ AND HE ALSO HAS NO MORE CURRENT IDEAS. ]
no subject
Maybe try finding something you can use to pry me off? If you can fit something between me and the caravan it might break its hold.
no subject
And he'll go ahead and scan the area, noticing all the supplies and such near them and searching through them to find a plank of wood in the pile. ] All right, this should work!
[ He picks it up and brings it over, trying to slide it between Riku and the caravan. ] You'll be free in no time — er ... [ Except no matter how hard he tries to get the wood between Riku and the caravan, it just ... won't. He can't pry him off if he can't wedge the wood in there properly.
He keeps trying anyway, but all this wedging a piece of wood into Riku's side might end up uncomfortable at some point. ]
