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.

[Quark blinks at that--understanding was clearly not what he expected. He shifts a bit, that frustration and anger that was winding him up cooling as he clearly wrestles with whatever he wants to say in response. After a moment, he'll mutter, grumpily:]

...it does, actually.

By the way, if you ever see I'm going in the wrong direction with this, warn me about it. That's the sort of thing why people is around each other.

[Because sometimes a person who can tell you you're doing things the wrong way can change everything for the better]

[Quark huffs, shifting even more now, mouth twisting in a scowl as he looks almost...flustered? He grumbles the following pretty quickly, mostly to himself, gesturing ]

Well, being a babysitter isn't in my contract. But if I don't do it, who will? I can't have that kinda thing on my conscience!

--fine! [he refocuses on Misune, all grumpy bluster] Fine, I'll do it, since you've twisted my arm! If you start swinging too hard the wrong way, I'll bring you back down to land.

[Ahaha, yeah, that was some immense twisting of arm, wow. Misane how could you do this to poor Quark, cornering him so ruthlessly and insistently and persistently and constantly like this until he caved in so you shut up, how dare you]

Thank you.

[Hmmmmm...]

I think I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Misane Mikoto. I hope we get along.

At this point, we'll have to. [wryly] I'm Quark.
