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. :)

[It was easy to chase it while it was holding something, it was only after that made it difficult since it was invisible.]
Whatever, they have to come back through sometime.
[They'd left the cookies behind after all and would want to clean that up, right? She leans against the table and starts to pick one up.]

[He points. Sure enough, there seems to be another tray bobbing through the air down the hallway, the outline of a Servant almost invisible behind it. Probably not the same one, though; that would be a pretty fast turnaround.]
no subject
[She turns in the direction he's pointing and, sure enough, another of the servants appears to be approaching. Ruki clenches her fist and quickly storms over to him...or her.]
Hey! I've got a bone to pick with you.
no subject
Meanwhile, the servant seems shocked! It starts to float away, but it's noticeably slower than the other one, maybe because its tea tray is stacked a little higher - it probably won't be hard to catch up with.]
no subject
What's the big idea stealing my stuff?! You guys have some nerve taking people's things that don't belong to you. Especially when they're so important!
[She is of course referring to the odd behavior the servants had been exhibiting before, stealing items from various people and running all over the Temple with them. She doesn't seem amused by the particular prank, even if some of the others might have written it off as harmless fun. Makes you wonder what they took.]
no subject
At least he watches the unfortunate Servant back away from her with at least as much deadpan as the situation calls for. He feels sorry for it... okay, not really, but it does strike him as kind of unfair.]
Just wondering, what did they take from you? Someone might have seen it.

It's my D-Ark. It's about the size of my hand. blue, and it's the only thing of value I had here.
