the temple of beginnings.we're all a little mad here.
Needless to say, the Circle has been out of sorts as of late.
Fortunately, the weather has stabilized — residents will find that they are no longer plagued with snowstorms or heat waves. However, it appears that the flora and fauna have...come to life. Vines may wind around your feet and legs, entrapping you in a vice-like grip. They will eventually let go, but it seems like you need to speak nicely to them first. Bizarre, but it'll get the job done.
Mushrooms have also sprouted and now sing at you when you pass by — they aren’t particularly good singers either. Trees extend their branches to poke at you from behind, but when you turn around you’ll find that no one is there.
...And worst of all, the flowers seem to be especially privy to your thoughts; when you’re close, they’ll blab out whatever is on your mind at the moment and will only be silenced once they are picked. Best of luck surviving in this more, er, animated environment! Perhaps even plant-life can be reasoned with…? Or destroyed.
That’s always an option, isn’t it?
oh my god they were roommates.
It isn’t a proper welcome until you’ve picked out your room! In the hallways, you may find a table or two offering cookies and tea as you survey your newfound surroundings. They seem to be left by invisible people . . . weird? The Unseen Servants seem to be playing a bit more nicely from your arrival, and seem to be apologizing for their antics with sweets! (These cookies, neverfear, are not magically cursed. They are just normal cookies.)
These rooms are a bit magical, you see — should you decide to room with another person (or multiple people), you’ll find that the room itself will accommodate your needs and expand accordingly. They look the same for the most part, so some might say that it would be wise to make your decision based on what your neighbors are like.
Say hello or potentially someone else’s room by accident; it’s a bit of a Russian roulette.
Regardless, it seems that this is your new home in sense of the word. Make the most of it!
wildcard.
The Temple is a pretty big place! The Forest of the Fey stretches on endlessly, Lake Dona (and the resident Nessie) is free to explore, and there are plenty of creatures who are curiously inspecting the new arrivals.
The wyverns seem to be particularly precocious today, given the singing mushrooms, the psychic flowers, and the new people checking into new rooms! They are relatively harmless (as are most of the creatures in the Temple), but can be pretty annoying . . . especially if you have something resembling a snack in your hand.
At any rate, free to explore the rest of the Temple, the Forest, or the Lake at your leisure! Unless otherwise designated in the bestiary, everything is free to play/free to explore. :)

[He sounds juuuust a smidge offended. Quentin has shed most of his prejudices in his time with Toby, but there's that inner snob that still lingers sometime.] I'm Fae. I'm Daoine Sidhe.
[From the sharp points of his ears to the bronze metallic sheen to his hair to the too-bright blue shade of his eyes. But that said. He looks surprised by the thanks -- where he's from thank you is generally a taboo among the Fae, and he'd assumed she was probably something similar to Fae. Different worlds?]
My name is Quentin. [The rose goblin comes trotting back now, taking a seat at Quentin's feet and looking quizzically at Nott.] And that's Spike. It talked the plants into letting you loose.
[And then, with a good dose of genuine concern.] Are you okay?
no subject
[Nott goes from Very Confused to Very Excited in .2 seconds flat. She completely ignores introductions because all Fey creatures definitely know each other right! Nevermind that it's spelled completely differently!]
He's from the Feywild, he's Caleb's familiar! He's usually a cat but he can be anything! Maybe you can get a message to him! Or, I don't know, is scrying a thing you can do??
[She doesn't know how the Feywild works, okay, she's never been there and her only exposure to it is in the form of a cat that just does whatever Caleb tells him to do. She knows it's Weird and Magical and that's about it.]
Oh, shit, I can't remember if he's an octopus right now or a cat again—does that matter?
no subject
[But that aside.] I'm not from Feywild either. I'm from San Francisco. Or well, the Kingdom of the Mists, fostered in the duchy of Shadowed Hills.
[He does however consider.] My best friend is a Prince of Cats -- but I can't reach him. I've tried. My cellphone doesn't get any reception.
[Wait.]
He's a cat and an octopus?
