[OPEN] Well. That Didn't Go Quite As Planned

Where: The Temple of Beginnings
When: Immediately After The End.
Rating: PG-13, may vary by thread
What: You fall, you pick yourself back up and you move on. Or at least, you try.


Fished Out Of Water
One minute, you are witnessing the fabric of an entire world implode as it is literally ripped apart by powers unknown. The next, that tell-tale twist somewhere beneath your sternum, before you are bodily YANKED away from Akvos, away from the ocean and the Queen and the King and the Princess.

And land back on (mostly) solid, dry ground.

Welcome back to the Temple of Beginnings. Don't worry, there's no hurry for you to get back up just yet.


Hey, Howya Doin'?
Once you do get back up, now is the time to be taking stock of the situation - yours, your friends, and even those new merfolk neighbours (who may need a hand getting their fins back into the water). There is also the missing members of the Circle to consider: people who disappeared on the journey to Akvos, and those who never made it back..

(There's also that small matter with a certain 'witchess-san' that may be a cause for concern to some more than others.)

Whatever the case, it's a lot to process right now. Take the time you have, because you don't know if it'll be enough for what you need.

[ When her voice rises Simon stiffens. He’s almost as displeased with Sheryl herself, as she keeps going, as he is with the helplessness and ugly, petty irritation he feels listening to her. ]

Calm down. Nobody’s happy about it.

[ It’s said flatly, and he knows how uncharitable a response this is when a little more emotional effort could alchemize this frustration — because that’s how they all feel, there can’t be anybody here who doesn’t agree with Sheryl — into something supportive, or... mutually beneficial.

But they all just watched a whole world and hundreds of reaching, desperate arms get ripped away into a void. It would be a great thing to rally together about, but. He doesn’t really have that at the moment. ]

I am calm! [No, no she's not.]

How could she just let that happen?! Isn't she supposed to be some all-powerful witch?!

[theseuschip]

[ Actually never mind she is very calm, she’s convinced him. ]

I think we’ve established she’s not an ‘all-powerful’ anything. It wasn’t under her control.

[ Not that that isn’t unsettling in itself. ]

It was a really... really shitty accident.

Then maybe she shouldn't be sending us to places she can't do anything about! Maybe she should've given us all better ~magical powers~!

Anyway you look at it, the problem ends with her! [She jabs her finger in the direction of the temple.]
