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.

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.

Well, I do not know about THAT- who can say what feats are worthy of godhood? But I have plenty I can say I am proud of accomplishing. And more importantly: much more I am capable of doing!

Tell me what you have achieved so far.

[She's so taking mental notes right now. 1bitheart and 1beatheart are all about using the info one hears to develop conversations and build rapport, and the likes and achievements are useful tools for that]

I graduated with top marks from the Officer's Academy. And my military accolades can not be questioned! And of course I am an advisor to the Emperor herself.

Perhaps you should have had a statue all along.

[Top marks and military accolades and advising the emperor? Yeah, no, you deserved at the very least a marble bust!]

Want to make you one? Not as big as this one, but you can take it as one accolade more.

[Fair warning, she has zero talent as a sculptor. She has never done it before]

Oh! Please, do not go out of your way for my account!

[he does look excited by the idea though]

It's too late. When I decide on something, I do it.

[She'll go our of her way for your account, Ferdinand]
