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.

It wasn't my doing.

That was something a bit outside of my domain. But I do believe the stocks in the kitchen can provide what you're looking for. Gods do often have... strange tastes.

[Gross.]

So anything we need outside of regular foodstuffs will be provided, okay.

[You know if someone needed something like that.]

What about our missing belongings?

Those will not be so easy.

I brought you all here, but your items seem to have been scattered somewhere. It's possible that this place, itself, took them.

Oh, fantastic.

[thanks athena]

...And once again, to clarify- this place is on some level alive or aware itself?

Well, regardless, it's good to know I won't burn anytime soon.

[He has people he needs to get back to.]

You have my thanks.

[After all, it's a bit soon to be sauntering around asking people if they'd be okay with him feeding on them.]
literarybehemoth: he is neutrally looking perhaps a little curious. not particularly grumpy. (how curious.)

Ah, I was going to ask about that, as I am not entirely... comfortable with the meat that is present. Forgive me for the inconvenience, but I would prefer things that do not have backbones.

[...]

Or are not cephalopods.
