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.

[wow okay]

Thank you, but please, the exuberance isn't necessary.

[OOPS. It's sort of hard to see her flush beneath her dark fur, but her ears pin back and her smile widens nervously. What does she say now?]

Is it something you did before this?

Not specifically, no.

[She manages not to grin at Luna's reaction, but the satisfaction is there.]

I was head of a company before this, which did hold quite a lot of patents and copyrights, but I'm not certain why that would have been picked specifically.

Oh! You are an inventor?

[That intellectual property gotta be coming from somewhere, right?]

Ha, not personally, no. That would be the R&D department's job.

[A quick beat, remembering that Luna had trouble with "copyright".]

That's "research and development." They would be the ones working on new technologies and applications of it.

[........so what does the CEO do]

And then you put the copyrights upon them?

[personal profile] sweetsynergy 2025-07-08 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! That's actually sort of fascinating. Legally, any original work automatically has a copyright applied, the trick is making sure it's registered and recorded properly-

[you may have unlocked a special interest]

Within some sort of archive? It must be vast!

[Not at all Luna's special interest, but she does know how that is!]

Multiple vast archives for redundancy, yes!
