seven vices arrival ♫ saturday & sunday 36 players remaining You remember happening upon something awful and nauseating. What it was, precisely, is lost to you, but you have the instinctive feeling that by escaping from it, you've avoided something terrible. When you open your eyes, you find yourself laying in bed in a dark, dusty room, facing a digital alarm clock. Its face, reading 12:01, is one of the only sources of light in the room. The other comes from the window, shadows flickering about. Opening the blinds will reveal that it is nighttime, and what looks to be a massive bonfire has been lit in the street at the front of the building. A wooden talisman hangs around your neck, with one of seven symbols carved on the back. Attempting to take off the talisman will result in a wave of intense dread, and the all-too-familiar nausea. A brass key engraved with a unique room number lays on the bedside table beside the clock, as well. But you won't get any answers just sitting in your room all night. >Investigate? This is an open mingle for arrival in the town. Waking up just after midnight on Saturday, characters will have the weekend to explore and socialize before the plot begins. The profiles and IC rulebooks (both the personal ones and the public one at the chapel) have not been revealed/given out yet. The kitchen will still 'prepare' breakfast on these days, and the bonfire will burn continuously into the daytime. Per items: smaller items that a character could easily carry with them will be in their rooms. Animals and larger objects will either be waiting outside or in the hotel lobby. cast setting

S-species of what, may I ask?!

[brawlhalla]

Wait, you've never seen a dragon before?

[createdamonster]

Excuse me?! A dragon?! B-but...n-no, I've never...those are only in legends where I come from...

[brawlhalla]

Legends? You mean you don't have any?

[ that...okay, astrid can't even imagine that.

[createdamonster]

Not in the slightest! We aren't even sure if they truly existed or not! I mean, there's no evidence...

[ And yet, here one is, staring her in the face... ]

Is...is it friendly?

[brawlhalla]

Normally. It depends on how you approach her, or what you do to her friends or Stormfly herself.

[ dragons can be touchy, but stormfly IS a friendly one. usually. ]

[createdamonster]

I see...would it be alright if I pet her, then? I mean, assuming she doesn't...consider me hostile or anything...

[ Which she certainly isn't, but... ]

[brawlhalla]

It would be, yeah. Just approach slowly with your hand out - and try to come from the side, so she can see you easier.

[ THE HORN ON HER FRONT KIND OF...IMPEDES HEAD-ON SIGHT... ]

[createdamonster]

W-well, alright, then...

[ Hesitantly, she steps towards Stormfly, hand quivering just a bit, clearly nervous to be petting an actual real live dragon my goodness what is this ]

Like this..?
