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.

Huh? I just told you what I'd do, didn't I? Does it not count if I'm saying 'no thanks' because I'm not hungry?

[ never mind that she's avoiding the question right now, of course............. ]

I suppose it does.

[She thinks she's being so magnanimous accepting that as a valid answer, hah]

My trivia isn't nearly as straightforward as yours. They don't seem to follow some standard about likes or dislikes...
liedol: (how could she not be)

What I don't get is why they have all that in the first place. Is it supposed to be so we can break the ice with each other, maybe?

[ But that loops back around to the question of 'why the heck did you pick THESE' ]

That's my guess. When you arrive to a new classroom in school, you are asked to introduce yourself and say something about yourself. Here they just took the choice away from you.
liedol: (so close、 the promises i make)

Yeah but in class, they usually haul you up in front of everyone to do it. They don't just... let you run loose. Do they?

[ The last time she was in a new classroom was five something years ago so she's a little fuzzy on the details. ]

So many of you are adults. Maybe it's some sort of...university-style thing.

[Which she wouldn't know about because she's still young, even though she's a detective apprentice, hah. No college for her yet!]
