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. :)

No, I'm afraid not.
[ his tone is genuinely apologetic; arriving here with no one is pretty awful. lotor was lucky enough to have the members of voltron and allura, here, so he wasn't completely alone. but he can sympathize with feeling that. ]
But it isn't unusual, to arrive here without anyone from your own world. We have plenty of individuals here alone, so to speak -- which likely isn't a comfort, but it happens more frequently than you would think.

Though she looks downtrodden for a second, she nods, trying to keep a straight face. ]
That's okay. [ A beat. ] That just means I'd have to be helpful and strong for those that don't have anyone else too. That's all.

[ optimism is a bit silly, in the face of such powerlessness, but lotor does admire the effort, even if to does seem a bit forced. ]
And, at any rate, there is no guarantee how long you will stay here, or how long you will be alone. I am certain you will see those from your world with time, so long as you have the patience required to wait for it.
no subject
Mm. Maybe.
Were you brought here by yourself, then?

[ which may not be the greatest comfort, if ryoko wants to not see people from home, but . . . ]
There are six others, from my corner of the universe. The Paladins of Voltron, if you're so inclined to speak to them.
[ he won't rattle off all their names, but they're pretty easy to find. ]
I believe our world has the highest number, in terms of like population, but that may change, given our newer arrivals.
no subject
[ Pardon her looking a bit surprised at that. Six people?! They even had their own group name! ]
Th-That's shocking! Astoria picked all of you?!
no subject
[ a bit dryly; lotor gets along with mots of the paladins of voltron, but some of them are much to be desired
lance. ]So it seems that some worlds are more likeable to her than others, or perhaps there is truly no rhyme or reason at all. Perhaps we just got horrendously unlucky. Or lucky, depending on your point of view.
