Arrival

The moment is a bit different for everyone. Perhaps you were just minding your own business somewhere, others may have been in more... dire circumstances. Regardless, you were approached by a figure you can't quite picture, and they offered you an accord; in exchange for aiding them in the healing of a world lost to chaos, you would be granted something almost unheard of. Godhood.

And each of you said yes, more or less.

A blurry hand, shifting and rippling, reaches out to you. You feel a glow of warmth, unlike anything you've known before. As soon as you think you can describe it, you wake up.

The room you're in is plainly furnished, but it's about the size of a small flat. Plenty of room to stretch your legs. Don't get too comfortable, however. On the bedside table each room has is a letter; handwritten, it's wrapped around a bronze key. The lettering could only be described as the platonic ideal of 'neat and precise'.

If you are reading this, than our deal has been made. You've awoken in a place that will surely feel strange, so I want you to take some time to acclimate. Meet with the others. Breathe. I shall be along shortly.

-A


Whatever that means becomes more apparent as you step out of your housing and behold the world around you. The building you were in, and every piece of architecture you happen across, is blatantly pre-modern. Yet, something about it is otherworldly. Stone and iron and glass as far as the eye can see.

But above you was where the real questions were. It wouldn't be right to say the sun was shining on you now, nor would it be right to say it's the dead of night. Instead, the sky is a hazy mixture of both, wrapped in suffocating storm clouds that are threatening rain. Everywhere you look, into the horizon, it's the same.

Welcome home. Take your time and explore. Nobody ever said godhood was easy.

Right, okay, that kind of thing. [ it's cannibalism. oh. ]

It's, uhhh.

[ hamburgers and chicken and bacon and- ]

...Yeah. It's really different, for, uh, humans.

Well... you do not have to avoid anything like that on my behalf. Meeting you has me wondering if there is perhaps a reality where insects are capable of speech and reason and would find the fact that I eat some members of their kind to be somewhat distressing.

...Like A Bug's Life...
literarybehemoth: a fairly neutral expression that is not grumpy (the summer cut....)

[personal profile] literarybehemoth 2025-07-20 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
...so you have fables about insects as well...?
rockymountaindie: (but i'll never know by living)

[personal profile] rockymountaindie 2025-07-20 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
...Uhhh, yeah. Yeah, I guess we do.

[ well, ]

Mmmy name is Alex. Who, uh, who're you.

Oh, my name is Mikhail Sergeeyvich Manulov. You may simply call me by my last name, however.

Good. We are properly acquainted, then.
rockymountaindie: (of a simple thing he cannot comprehend)

[personal profile] rockymountaindie 2025-07-22 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
.........I'm incredibly sorry I used the little kitty cat voice on you.

It is no problem. It was somewhat patronizing, but it was a misunderstanding.
rockymountaindie: (and a world to carry on)

[personal profile] rockymountaindie 2025-07-23 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I will never use it again.

[personal profile] literarybehemoth 2025-07-24 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Do cats where you are from respond well to that, then? Or are you simply overcome by our charms?
rockymountaindie: (misty taste of moonshine)

[personal profile] rockymountaindie 2025-07-24 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... I think it's half-n-half. I honestly haven't interacted with a lot of cats. You're like, my fifth.

[ The internet is not completely filled with cat pictures yet, it's only 2001. ]

A shame. I am certain that even without reason we are quite delightful.
