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. :)

Aww thanks. It's nice to meet you Ren. [Hunk considers that.] Well, you aren't the only one to just arrive, so I bet if we start asking now we can find someone who wouldn't mind a roommate. And hey [Hunk holds up the tray of brownies.] we can always bribe them. Though we should probably also make sure they aren't allergic to cats.
no subject
[With a somewhat thoughtful look, he asks one more thing before he puts his bit of brownie into his mouth.] How many people usually arrive at once, actually...? I'm curious now...
no subject
[Hunk continues eating the brownie he had selected before. He swallows before answering.]
I mean, I don't know for sure. Maybe anywhere between 10 to 20? I guess I haven't really tried to count.
no subject
That is actually quite a few people to show up at once, though, and Ren tilts his head a bit.] And that happens often...? It doesn't seem like there's enough people here for that...
[If it's been going on for a while, he would've expected a bigger group than what he's come across so far.]
no subject
[He rubs at his neck.] Oh, well, sometimes people leave too. Although leaving might not be the right word...it's a lot like you can arrive without much of a choice and sometimes people leave without much of a choice in the matter as well. So it's a pretty fluctuating population you could say.
[Hunk had forgotten to say that when giving an idea of the population.]
I guess we could see if anyone had a roommate before too and maybe wouldn't mind a new one.
no subject
He keeps that train of thought to himself, though, carrying back on to the topic of roommates with an expression just as bright as earlier.] That's okay too. If there are other people who don't really like staying alone, then it's best to find them and put them together, right?
no subject
Anyway, yeah, that's my point. I think my friend Shiro even set up a welcome board near the kitchen. Maybe we could put up, like, a want ad or steak the kitchen out -- most people are going to pass through their eventually. [Pause and then he adds.] And it's slightly less weird than stalking outside of people's rooms.
no subject
Maybe I should post about it sometime...? If that sort of thing is what these watches are for. [He taps his pocket, having taken his watch off his actual hand pretty shortly after arriving.] It's easier to write a want ad that way anyway, right?
no subject
no subject
[Especially if they have no idea what things are going to be like wherever they're going before they get there. Can't room with anyone if you don't even know if there's going to be rooms.]
