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.

You backed into me, dipshit-!

[personal profile] rockymountaindie 2025-07-07 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah- ugh- right, I-I could feel your- f-fuckin' foot!

[ he's wiggling. get off. ]

[personal profile] sweetsynergy 2025-07-07 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Because you BACKED INTO ME.

[She's not giving up on the lie unless he pulls video from somewhere, sorry.]

[But she has at least rolled off him and is getting back up herself at this point.]

[ DID he? He recalls tripping over something, then trying to right himself, and that was when he grabbed her arm...

Rubbing the back of his head, Alex slowly pushes himself up as well, though he stays haphazardly seated on the ground. He studies Vanity with narrowed eyes. ]


How come you ended up on top, then?
sweetsynergy: (K)

[personal profile] sweetsynergy 2025-07-08 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Because some of us have the good sense to try stepping out of the way before getting grabbed.

[That's- possibly plausible? Maybe a little.]

But I only started to grab you after I was falling. 'Cause something tripped me.

[ we've reached an unstoppable force and an immovable object. or maybe two immovable objects. ]
sweetsynergy: (G)

[personal profile] sweetsynergy 2025-07-08 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Your own feet, it looked like.

[look there was A foot involved at least]
rockymountaindie: (✈ take me home‚ country roads)

[ Okay, now he knows— ]

No way, even when I'm freaked I don't do that. [ because that explains everything??? ] The ground's even, I didn't trip over my feet like some kinda clown, just admit you did it and stop being an ass!

[ they're still on the ground aren't they. alex is at least. ]

[She's sitting up.]

Sounds like something a clown would say, I dunno.
rockymountaindie: (✈ country roads‚ take me home)

[personal profile] rockymountaindie 2025-07-10 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, you're so annoying!
sweetsynergy: (C)

[personal profile] sweetsynergy 2025-07-10 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm-

[Hang on.]

Oh, I think we're all gods here, but flattering, thank you.
sweetsynergy: (B)

[personal profile] sweetsynergy 2025-07-11 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[And she pulls herself to her feet, dusting off.]

Sure, good talk guy.

[she's just gonna turn and leave unless he stops her]
rockymountaindie: (set fire to your hair)

[personal profile] rockymountaindie 2025-07-12 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah, besides a little sneer at her retreating back, he has no inclination to stop her. guess he'll just do his best to avoid this unpleasant person! <- a fool's errand, alex ]
