Welcome.
You don't remember how you got here. It may be one of the first things to occur to you when you wake up, that you don't know when you got here, what you were doing involved nothing like this; granted, it's also possible that it doesn't matter – that whatever circumstances you last remember have nothing on the fact that this bed is really comfortable and the room around you is gently-lit. It's warm, but it's nowhere near where you're supposed to be. Whatever you think of it, the fact is that you can't stay there forever; there's a silver key resting on that trunk near your bed, and you might want to take it on the way out. It's no big deal if you don't, exactly – it won't lock automatically after you close the door, that has to be done manually – but it'll probably become clear that privacy is a commodity in a place like this. After all, you aren't alone; the hallway is likely quick to become populated with other people that are just as confused as you are. Go ahead and talk to them if you'd like; none of you will know exactly how you got to the building with the wooden walls and the odd windows that no one can see through, but that doesn't mean you can't get to know each other on the way to...wherever it is that you're going. Wander long enough and you may hear the chiming of a clock nearby. It's hard to tell whether it's telling you it's very early or very late at night, but checking out the room it's in eventually might be a good idea regardless; it's large and open, designed to accommodate social gatherings from the look of it, with the clock in question mounted against the western wall. It isn't the only thing here, though – there's a large frame set into the wall nearby, and it contains some information that might be relevant to your interests... Or perhaps your attention is drawn instead to the other framed information nearby; don't worry if you miss it in here, though. It's posted in every other room in the building. There's also the matter of the large double-doors at the end of the room; they aren't going to open, regardless of what you do. Looks like you're trapped here for the time being. Might as well see who's here with you, right? |
wildcard!
Whoa, uh-- Cool..face?
[A+ Brady, good job, you speak like a champ.]
no subject
she'd consider using him instead ♥!! ]
Right back at you, handsome! [ ...That doesn't quite work, but uh! Not the point. ] Wanna see something even cooler?
no subject
So he's kind of. Confused, raising a hand to his forehead like is there one on me t- that is a silly thought and he discontinues it and just raises his eyebrows. How can she see...?]
Uh... Sure, I guess. Hit me.
no subject
Hi, have an eye opening from the middle of her face plate. It's a very lovely purple. She's giggling. I'm sorry. ]
My man back home always thought this was the cutest part of me. [ Aside from like, her everything, probably. ] Do you have anything as awesome, or are you just a normal huma?
[ Human. Huma's just the word for it.
...Not that she's human, but uh, hm. ]
no subject
Ooohhh. That is something I did not expect to see with my eyes today, I guess you are the opposite of hum...a. [It feels like someone chopped off the end of that word.] It's safe to say I have nothing like that.
no subject
Don't worry, buddy, you're not gonna be the only one who's seen it soon enough, promise. ]
Do you have anything at all that's special and totally unique to just you? [ Why is this important— ] Something that'd make someone fall head over heels for you, even if your looks just weren't doing it for them? Not that that's really a concern for you, I'm sure, but there's definitely people out there with really bad taste! [ OH MY GOD. ]
no subject
...smiling very awkwardly why do people keep hitting on him??]
Wh- yooou are incredibly forward, aren't you? I probably think I'm not the best person to answer part of that? I mean, I sing, but people sing, they do that, it's not like your metal eye-mask.
no subject
Or don't, because that's what she's hooking onto. ]
I wouldn't say I'm forward! Just like, willing to speak my mind and let people know when they look good! [ ...so she's forward, got it. ] I'm a taken woman, so I can't really hit on anyone, but like, it's totally not a terrible thing to let someone who's hot know that they're hot, is it...?
no subject
After a moment's consideration he nods in acceptance.] So looking at it that way you're, like, just dolling out free compliments with no expectation of anything back? Alright. I can get on board with that.
1/2
Well, it wouldn't kill people to compliment me back. [ Ahem. ]
no subject
no subject
Don't get me wrong, you're a very lovely girl, a-and I've never seen someone with that shade of hair? And you work the mask super-well, seriously, I was just saying- like, you've got yourself a boyfriend so you're just, bein' sweet when you tell people they look good, not trying to get a date or something!
no subject
Then yeah, it's definitely like that! [ SHE SOUNDS A LOT HAPPIER NOW, THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENTS HUN ♥♥ ] Not everyone's appreciated my input the way you have though. Do you think they'll soften up sometime?
no subject
Uhh, I dunno, some people are understandably prickly about it? Like, I'm not as much 'cause I just...take things easy, you know? But other people might not get that you're just being nice. Maybe if you explain it like you did to me, they would, and if they're still upset about it, just let 'em breathe.
[why are you trying to give her advice like you think she'll ACTUALLY TAKE IT?]
no subject
[ aligula you've called like three dudes ugly to their face. ]
no subject
This is just kinda a touchy subject with some people I think? Comments about their appearance, whether it's good or bad. You know. [A lil shrug.] Doesn't mean you can't tell people who're receptie to it!
[please stop trying]
no subject
I'll think about it. [ ........that's probably as good as it's getting??? ]
no subject
Sooo with that cleared up- I can't just call someone that girl with the iron mask, what's your name? I'm Brady. Brady Russell.
[Since some people have needed last names.....]
no subject
Aligula! It's nice to meet you, Brady. [ ...He's going to be one of two guys she calls by name instead of title, isn't that special. Especially since she really, really doesn't like his title. ] Just Aligula. Last names are so last century, you know?
no subject
S'cool, there're a few people here with just one name. Aligula's a pretty unique one, though! [...it is now that we say, if Brady were more well-read or cultured, he would notice the resemblance of her name to a certain ancient tyrant. He is, however, so very far from that. Oops.] Where're you from?
no subject
Hellsalem's Lot! It's a city in [ uhhhhhhhhhhhhh give her a second ] New... York? It used to be one of its biggest cities before the whole sinkhole thing, but whatever! I'm not originally from there anyway, but apparently it was a huge deal in the huma world when it happened.
[ ...It was also a big deal in the Beyond, but anyway. Also, there's so much left out of this explanation, oh my god. ]
What about you?
no subject
Uh, California. Windy Bluff, little city off LA, ahm- [okay he can't not just-] There might be a few key details I'm missing here, 'cause I'm lost on the whole sinkhole thing?
no subject
An interdimensional sinkhole opened up beneath the huma world's New York City three years ago, forcing their world and my world—which is called the Beyond, the Alterworld, the... a lot of other names!—to come together, sort of! A bunch of people stopped the city from going all the way in, and now there's like, highways and stuff between the two dimensions.
[ ...yeah... ]
Humas and Beyondians live together now! [ ...Not in peace, she never said that, she'll never say that. ]
no subject
Somehow. I think this actually makes sense? Since...you're calling 'em huma and...your eye.
[He's still resetting though give him a moment please??]
no subject
yeah she'll just uh. give him a sec there. before she just kinda. ]
Yoouuuu okay there?
