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.

I think it's up to us to make our mark upon it...

[They're all someone new, after all! And the deal is that they'd heal...something. Looks like the potential will be up for this bunch to use!]

[ She smiles. Like, more prominently than the preexisting 90% smile icons have already implied. ]

Well, there you have it.

[ Admittedly she's just running her mouth while thinking exclusively in terms of herself making a fucked up little lair in the ruins somewhere but look.......... we can pretend it's a statement meant to inspire everyone to do their best! If she weren't thinking about a fucked up little lair, she wouldn't sound so positive, so it's actually cool and good! ]

What's your name?

Misane Mikoto. I hope we get along, despite my lack of worldhealing skills.

[This is a less formal introduction than usual, truthfully!]

Riful. I have many imperfections myself, but let's get along well!

Perfect people would be boring. You're fine as you are.

[Probably!]
