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. :)

[Well, the lack of screaming earns him some serious bonus points, considering the last two times she has tried to sunbathe as a cat. She's starting to think it's just a bad idea in general at this rate.
Morrigan stands up, showing that, yes, her hind legs are indeed trapped by vines. So much for sarcasm.]
Just as I started to take a nap. 'Tis as though they have something against doing so under the warmth of the sun.
[It's also keeping her from transforming back, which is annoying as all hell.]
no subject
[As he speaks, he's currently reaching for a dagger he keeps tucked at his back. He's just about to start cutting through for himself, when he feels something caress his hand. He jerks away and finds another vine has wrapped around his wrist, stopping him from cutting at the other vines.]
Damn! Wasn't quick enough.
no subject
[She's killed with them enough times; she should know. Morrigan starts to warn him about trying to cut free when the new arrival wraps around his wrist. Well, gold star for trying.
She purrs; amused.]
Come now, you've had your fun. You will only incite the attempts farther. [She gently paws at the vines like one would calm down a small child. They let her go, and she jumps to a higher branch, eyeing the vines holding up her fellow victim. Hm, decisions, decisions...]
no subject
Wait! How'd you do that?
no subject
Oh, they respond to polite or friendly tones. Not exactly my strong suit. [She flexes her hand, fingers briefly becoming dragon talons and then reverting to normal. Blast it. Not enough time to slice the blasted things.]
no subject
Well you could have just said so earlier.
[He sighs. All right. Friendly he can do, usually. He's a bit flustered at the moment so he needs to get his irritation in check first. Can't come across like the Colonel after all.]
Oh vines~ I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to be so short with you. You were only trying to keep me on my toes, right? How nice of you. The favor was really appreciated and I assure you I am wide awake now. Thanks for the he--ACK!
[As soon as he starts he feels them loosen their grip. He keeps going until they start to completely pull away...and drop him unceremoniously back to the ground, hence the loud 'ack' he makes as he plummets. Luckily, it's not like they had pulled him up very far and it's more his pride bruised than anything. Maes picks himself back up, looking back into the tree and brushing off the dirt.]
Yeah...like I said...thanks.
no subject
[Oh. She's just teasing him, now. She watches, bored. At least until the vines begin to let him go. A slight smirk crosses her lips.]
Hm, I would give that landing a six... 'tis better than a few I knew would have had.
no subject
I'll take it. I definitely could have done better, but hey I didn't break anything so when it comes to falling out of a tree that's a win.
no subject
[A quiet laugh. Well, at least the man has a sense of humor.]
