WELCOME

Welcome


Good morning.

Or perhaps it might be more appropriate to say good evening instead, considering how it is moonlight that will rouse you into consciousness. And what a bright moon it is, half-full and clear without contest in the sky as it outshines the stars and galaxies in the backdrop. But it’s all the better to emphasize that the buildings that speckle the landscape before you are all completely devoid of any light. And by the way—do you always sleep outside?

The lack of light can be something to deal with later though, at least when you've properly gotten up from the cold, unyielding stone below you. And that chill down your spine—no doubt that probably has something to do with combination of cool temperatures and poor sleeping conditions, but it’s odd how it seems to linger.

Checking your person for any items that should be in your possession yields disappointing results, but it seems you're not empty handed (or pocketed) because you are now the proud owner of one (1) small bundle of black cloth. Unwrapping it reveals a key imprinted with a roman numeral, along with a simple note.

“Come at 6PM to the place circled on this map:”


“Don’t be tardy, dear Survivors, that’d be a bad first impression. If you don’t want your stay here to be more unpleasant than it’ll already be, you’ll want to avoid seeming careless or disrespectful. You’ll want to listen to my opening speech~!”


Finally, after an empty space that may be simulating an intense pause, there’s one last line:


“I know what you’re thinking, so I’ll say it straight: if you don’t come, you’re as good as dead.

The news likely isn't welcome, but it's a start. And it seems you're not alone in your plight, though whether company is within arm's length or a stone’s throw away is up to fortune’s whims. For now, you're free to explore the town square and the surrounding areas as best you can in the dim light.

For some reason or another, Krakow, Poland is now your new home. That much is clear from the sign posts that you can inexplicably read, as red and white flag posts with "Święto Niepodległości" flutter lightly in the wind. While the storefronts are dark, the street lamps that scatter the town provide some measure of light, providing some solace against the layer of fog that's begun to creep in.

( OOC: Welcome to Antumbra! This intro log occurs ICly Sunday. Your MM's will be around at 6pm EST to hear your complaints. )

I'm not here to make friends.

[ she shouldn't even be here at all, honestly. none of them should be, but...details. ]

I'm here for answers.
promittere: (Default)

[personal profile] promittere 2020-01-06 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It's easier to find answers if people work together.

[Just sayin'.]

There's a certain strength that comes from working together.

If you insist.

[ she rolls her eyes, but she starts walking towards the housing area, one hand on her hip. ]

Another pair of eyes could be useful. Just don't get in my way, and we're set.

[personal profile] promittere 2020-01-06 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no intention of that.

[And he actually has a set of eyes to spare!

He follows after her, careful to give her some distance.]
raventhaw: (CDrabob)

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-06 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ good!!! he deserves them.

but she enters the housing area, and not long after she steps in...
]

Assigned rooming. Great.

Were you hoping for your own pick?

[Far, far away from everybody else?]
raventhaw: (here's where you'll die)

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-06 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Away from certain people I've already met, yes.

[ far away from everyone else sounds really nice though... but she looks at the layout, sees that she's not too far away from dist specifically...and lets out a sigh. ]

Lovely. I'm near one of the loudest people of the bunch.
promittere: (Default)

[personal profile] promittere 2020-01-06 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
One of the loudest?

[He hasn't met anyone who seems that loud, yet.]

Who's already found themselves on your bad side?

Dist.

[ just :| ]

That's his name, if I'm not mistaken. You'll understand what I'm talking about when you meet him.
promittere: (Default)

[personal profile] promittere 2020-01-06 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

[He doesn't, but that's not new.]

I'll keep that in mind, when I meet him.
raventhaw: (all things must die)

retconning all the dist stuff

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-06 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she puts her hand on her hip. ]

Which room key did you get?

promittere: (Default)

whoops.

[personal profile] promittere 2020-01-06 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Twenty-six.

[He holds up the key, raising an eyebrow.]

And you?
raventhaw: (2eVwlPu)

it's fine (?????)

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-06 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Twenty-five.

[ there's a brief look of amusement. ]

Supposedly that makes us neighbors.
promittere: (Default)

[personal profile] promittere 2020-01-06 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
A strange coincidence, that.

[And then they discover they're on opposite ends of the hall. RIP.]

But I suppose there are only so many of us.
raventhaw: (at your conclusion)

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-06 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it just.

[ she looks at her key, then back at ignis. ]

I'm going to check out the rooms.
promittere: (Default)

[personal profile] promittere 2020-01-06 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods, glancing down the hall.]

I think I will as well. I'll...meet you back up later?

[Or she can just ditch him, that's fine too.]
raventhaw: (JbTmZWI)

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-06 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
We can share our findings, sure.

[ look at that! she's not ditching him!!!! this is character development. ]
promittere: (Default)

[personal profile] promittere 2020-01-06 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Proud of u.]

Of course.

[And he is off to investigate his room! Be back soon!]
raventhaw: (all things must die)

investigation: housing

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-06 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ same, ttyl!!

so. after ignis and raven walk off to their respective rooms -- why is ignis' room all the way on the opposite end oh my god -- both of them will investigate (with avery's permission!). is there anything unique to either of their rooms?

raventhaw: (HO5bUZ7)

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-06 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ good to know. does it look like anyone's occupied their rooms before? ]
raventhaw: (murder unkindness conspiracy)

[personal profile] raventhaw 2020-01-07 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ interesting. is there anything else out of place about these rooms? ]
