( intro log # 1 )








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 is used to reactions like that, but it's not like he can tell if she is surprised or not. The slime looks back at her for a second, and then back at the flowers ]

They can talk, kind of. I wouldn't call it what they do a conversation... [ but he knows what she meant. If slimes could wink, he'd wink back at her ]

I can talk too.
uptightness: (suit } never did)

[personal profile] uptightness 2019-02-12 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
And you are...?

[A what, or a who? This place is really starting to test her limits. Sure, she had thought that hanging around the Sim Troopers had done that, but they at least made a little more sense than all of this, which is actually saying something.]

[personal profile] rimuru 2019-02-13 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Rimuru Tempest! Just a small slime - not a bad one! [ just in case she feels like he should maybe shoot him, Rimuru tries to act as harmless as possible, even squirming his body just a bit before flopping to the side cutely ]
uptightness: (suit } it's nothing)

[personal profile] uptightness 2019-02-14 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Talking slime.

[With a name... Does that make it any better? Carolina doesn't know. Some might indeed get down to its level and try to make friends, and others might indeed shoot it. Once, she would have leaned to the latter, especially if it- he?- had been in her way.]

You're from here?

[personal profile] rimuru 2019-02-15 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I arrived with other people very recently. [ so he is a new arrival, yes ]

I think I'm the only talking slime around.
uptightness: (suit } you're kidding)

[personal profile] uptightness 2019-02-16 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Are there other talking slime where you come from?

[Which is another question that Carolina would not have thought she would ever ask, but here she was. Having a conversation with a ball of goo. Not even trying to step on it or kick it... Well, unless some threatening move is made, then she isn't going to be held responsible for her actions.]

[personal profile] rimuru 2019-02-17 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, I never met any other slime. But everyone was surprised I could talk and think, so my guess is that slimes are very basic creatures.

[ that's his guess, but what does Rimuru know? he truly never met a slime before. ]
uptightness: (suit } teach me obi wan)

[personal profile] uptightness 2019-02-18 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
That- [Okay. Take a breath and try not to pinch your nose, as she was wearing a helmet anyway. Does it really matter, she questions herself?] But, you just magically appeared one day, or how did you come in to existence?

[personal profile] rimuru 2019-02-18 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well- I can't say I know for sure how that went because I was alone at the time... [ he thinks for a second about what he remembers ]

I was a human once, and after I died, I suddenly woke up in a dark place. I was conscious, but I just couldn't move, feel or see or hear anything. It took a while until finally I could feel my body and things around me, and eventually I realized I was in a cave of sorts.

That's how I showed up as a slime. I was reincarnated as one.

[personal profile] uptightness 2019-02-19 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[Not like she can say anything one way or another about that. She isn't aware of reincarnation happening where she is from, but Carolina knows that she doesn't know everything. She might not admit that, but she is only human.]

And you- I mean, you're slime now, so you just... Slime around?

[personal profile] rimuru 2019-02-21 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Rimuru snorts, amused ]

Well, what do humans do? Human around? [ he supposes so. When he was human, that's kind of what he did ]

I'm exploring right now! I want to get to know this place.
uptightness: (pb } converse)

[personal profile] uptightness 2019-02-22 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I use my two feet, and put one in front of the other.

[You know, a little thing called walking, sometimes running. He seems... more like a blob, and how exactly does he explore? She gives a glance, trying to figure that out, but not like it really matters in the grand scheme of things.]
