IT'S GONNA BE MAY
WAKE UP
You open your eyes, and with a jolt, find yourself within the clearing of a miniscule town surrounded by trees and thick, black fog. Despite the ominous backdrop, nature seems to be thriving — it’s a pleasantly chill spring day, as far as anyone can tell, and everything is vibrant and blooming… even some of the animals. At some point, a friendly old dog with red fur approaches, carrying a basket in his jaws. Inside are blackberries and apples other fruits. Did he find this himself? Or did someone give them to him to bring to new arrivals? Regardless, he very clearly hopes that you’ll share.
A giant golden brown turtle sits by a tent, napping in the sunlight. Two statues sit in the courtyard by an old well — a haloed woman marked as the Goddess of the Sun, Beiwe, and a gentle woman looking adoringly at her counterpart, marked as the Goddess of the Moon, Ourania. If you pay your respects, the air feels gentle and warm in the day, and like a fresh cool breeze at night.
As you explore more, perhaps the bloomed animals will approach — a mossy squirrel, or a frog who happens to also be a lilypad. It’s charming, almost. Whimsical and kind.
Shame that the wall of fog looms ever on, watching. Waiting.

SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLENDID
cw: hallucinations, compulsions, near-death experiences
For a while, spring seems gentle, almost. Peaceful. The previous month may have been full of jokes, but things are actually safe. Of course, that can’t last forever. Every night, a purple, shimmering mist floods the town. It does not breach the doors and windows, even if left open, but looking at it is… enticing.
Should you give in, the mist is cool and gentle, swaying around you like smoke. The longer you stay in, the more your eyes feel blissfully heavy. Soon, you find yourself surrounded by loved ones, in a place that brings you joy — a childhood home, a vacation spot, some place warm and safe and dear to your heart. Everyone is playing and having so much fun. Join them! Join them!
Of course, by the time you do jump into the fun, you’ll find yourself awakened with a start, just about to fall into danger. Perhaps you climbed a tree and were about to leap to the ground from too high up. Or maybe you stuck your head in the river and your lungs were about to empty. Regardless, the happy dream shatters with imminent danger, and perhaps you’d better hope that someone else is nearby to help you. … Especially since with each night you give in, the more enticing the mist is the next night.

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
At some point, the mist is forcibly dissipated and instead the moon shines brightly, almost like a spotlight. Investigation will reveal an absurdly large capybara that seems more like a vehicle than an animal, even with the jasmine flowers hanging off of it, siting down with the ‘door’ accessible to anyone willing to climb in.
“Come with me, and I will bring you to a night of festivities.” is all that it says when asked. And it knows that you will — you’re all curious as kittens, after all. Once the last person takes a fuzzy seat within the capybara, it slowly stands up and begins walking through the woods, and for the first time, everything seems peaceful. Normal, even. Why, there’s not even a monster or misshapen, grabby tree! Just a moonlit forest, and fireflies in the distance.
Eventually it brings you to a small but beautiful cabin, crouching down to let everyone out again. Outside is a layer of marble surrounded by pillars decorated with sheer fabrics and an abundance of lilies and calendula, jasmine and marigolds, hydrangeas and gladiolus. A buffet table has also been spread out, and within the cabin are changing rooms with a multitude of ornate gowns and suits, alongside sitting rooms and other potential necessities — though you get the feeling that you should still be on your best behavior here.
Gentle music plays from an unknown source. The capybara is resting, until it’s time to leave come sunrise. For one night, everything is at peace. You may as well enjoy it, and dance to your heart’s content.

SPARK NOTES
CLICK TO EXPAND!
WAKE UP
Welcome to Aldric's Grove! The fog wall is a little creepy, but worry not: A dog has brought you a snack, and the plant-bearing wildlife are pretty friendly. If you've been here for a while, no worry: You, too, are getting a basket of treats from the dog.
SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLENDID
A purple mist fills the Grove at night, and stepping into it makes you experience a euphoric dream... shortly before you wake up because you nearly walked into death. Be careful, because the mists are addicting, and you may not have an easy time avoiding their temptation the following nights.
DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
For one night, the mists clear up and peace settles over the forest. A giant capybara gleefully takes everyone to the site of a grand dance, where the clothing and food are all free, and the music swells with joy. Dance your hearts out until dawn breaks, and then the capybara will take you back home.
OOC
Happy May! This is a reminder that TDMs are game canon. Enjoy your dreams, enjoy your prom night, enjoy the capybara. OOC Plotting Lives Here if you'd like to plot anything out!

If by snooping you mean just walking around like he has some kinda authority here to look around and find out why they were invited here. He really has made himself the Sherrif around here with no one else's input. Dominic would be proud

Sparkling Cookie | Cookie Run Kingdom | Current Player/New Character
A) Hour hand's gone from two to three, now four | The Grove
B) You've barely slept all night | Prom
B
With how whimsical in nature their mode of transportation already is, a party such as this is at least somewhat expected to be at the end of the line. Far better than the alternative, at any rate! And so he is here, dressed in the formal wear that Pure Vanilla had so graciously gifted him, mingling about and trying to enjoy himself despite the recent traumatic events. Luckily, his empty sleeve is easily pinned up and tucked under the side capelet, but the reflex to use the arm that is no longer there still hasn't quite been curbed.
And he's having a good night of it, truly! So much so that when he inevitably walks right into someone's wing, he doesn't even think twice about it. ]
Oh, no, I'm quite alright! My apologies, I wasn't paying attention to...
[ That sentence trails off as he takes in, really takes in who he's speaking to. There's a flash of recognition that makes his heart beat more quickly in his chest, though he can't quite place it. But those ears, those wings, that hair. He's sure he's seen it somewhere, like the lingering figment of a dream.
His ear fins perk forward, betraying the otherwise cool curiosity. ]
... have we... met, before?

dance the night away
After browsing the outfits and accessories he comes out in a crisp dark grey blouse and vest, embroidered with plants and flowers in purple thread so dark it's almost black. His Soul Jam sits pinned to his breast like a brooch, glimmering in the low light. And his mass of hair is braided up and set with decorative pins.
It's certainly fancier then he usually likes even in his formal-wear. But the party seems to encourage such things and he is willing to go along with it for now.
Eventually, after a soothing talk with Someone Important... he manages to relax enough to actually enjoy himself. Open to dances if anyone asks... though there's only one person he approaches on him own. One can find him at the food as well, browsing the wares, though he seems to be turning his nose up at most of them. Too many sweets for his liking, though he might take a cup of juice eventually to nurse.
Late in the night he ends up on the edges of the party area, gazing at the bright moon and looking quite peaceful for once]
It... is certainly a lovely night, is it not?
late because it's cuter and the coin spoke
It is.
[ Like Cacao, Pure Vanilla has changed outfits for the occasion. But almost in contrast with his partner, he's opted for something plain and simple. A plain white blouse and slacks combo, with the only embellishments being his Souljam hooked around his waist on a sash, and a cacao flower pinned to his hair.
He stops beside the other, glancing upwards towards the moon, a soft smile on his face. ]
It is made even more lovely with the company.

felicity morais | original | oldbie
the inn.
( the mist is certainly inviting. it's beautiful, and she thinks she smells a sweet scent- not unlike the witch's cabin in hansel and gretel. but with how the forest has been, surely everyone knows to stay inside. so instead, felicity walks down to the inn's kitchen. what to make... maybe fish and rice. and vegetables of course, she's been wanting broccoli-
its only then that she sees someone wandering to the door. )
--Hey, where are you going?
MY HEART MAY BE BURNING
the cabin. cw: internalized ableism
( ... well. okay.
she sees the food. the flowers. the dancefloor. she sees the changing rooms- and thinks anxiously to the burn scars all around, even one up her neck to her jawline, or how she still feels so strange and awful with her arm gone.
and she sees how so many people know each other, while she's been the recluse for months on end.
...
while others make their way to the dance, felicity goes into the cabin, looking for the library. maybe she bumps into you on the way. )
Oh- sorry.
WILDCARD
( felicity is a 19 year old witch who radiates a cosmic energy, but also reeks of bad luck. she has one missing arm and various burns that i still haven't mapped out. hit me )
my heart may be burning
[ Look whose actually human, and looks both guilty as fuck and happy to see the pink haired girl. What's he doing in the cabin? Changing! He's somehow managed to piece together the most pirate-ass looking outfit possible. He looks ridiculous, but he also seems incredibly pleased with himself.
Listen, he's not one for fashion, and he's not one for fantasy ass outfits. ]

He is new. Out of place as Luca had felt a few months prior. And so he doesn't so much as bad an eyelash as he's approached. Though a scrutinizing gaze is offered, there's no distaste on his face at what he sees. His home is a land of humans who bear the features of their beloved gods. He's used to strange appearances. And even if that weren't true, he's hardly one to judge. Even through the collar of his chosen outfit, a few deep red feathers might be spotted.
The only thing that does prompt him to react is the mention of that particular dance. His lip curls, before he gives a shrug.]

coffee
I am quite the wrong person to ask, I am afraid. Dark Cacao is much more versed in the flavors of coffee.
[ Still, he lifts the cup to his mouth and takes a delicate sip, mindful of the heat coming from it. He hums softly as he ponders the taste. This Cookie is particularly fond of sweets but he must admit-]
It is quite delicious!

Hmm, well, at least this time no one's been taking up my time. [ Unless the capybara counts, he guesses? ] ...Had I really had my eyes off you for so long you've managed to get drunk, Gnosis?

Clotted Cream Cookie | Cookie Run: Kingdom | Current Player
[ As Consul, and even before that, Clotted Cream has been to his fair share of parties, balls, and other social events. He is no stranger to the need for charm and grace. Thus, the prospect of a night out is not at all intimidating! It's a bit whimsical, in fact, considering the mode of transportation. There is no real sense of danger here - how can there be, when the bus is a capybara? - and so he dons the formal outfit that Pure Vanilla had gifted him, and climbs aboard the capybus for destinations unknown.
Even if the trip through the forest is briefly a bit terrifying. There may be nothing threatening there, not now, not in the safety of the bus, but even so…
Once the bus arrives, the place he is brought to is, frankly, breathtaking. It feels like a dream, in an odd sense, the draping fabric and the moonlight giving everything an almost ethereal quality. It may be a dream, for all he knows… But, now that he is here, it wouldn't do to leave. Especially with all the other guests, and the gentle music playing from an ambiguous source. They are clearly meant to enjoy themselves tonight.
And enjoy himself, he does! There are several situations in which he might be found: ]
a. conversation
[ The most important part of being a guest at a social event is, of course, socializing! Clotted Cream does not hesitate to approach anyone who seems to be open for conversation, and some that may not seem as open, as well. Always worth it to try. ]
Lovely venue, isn't it? I'm quite fond of the outdoor setting, myself. Our mysterious benefactor has certainly gone above and beyond.
b. food
[ The Cookie-turned-human-turned-Mer eventually takes a moment to peruse the buffet table, partially out of curiosity rather than actual hunger. While there are certainly sweets to be had, the rest is still intriguing. He still isn't used to eating things like meat and vegetables on a regular basis, even after how long he's been here (the month he'd been dead notwithstanding, of course) and who better to ask than people who actually eat these things normally?
If he catches you nearby, he will get your attention with a charming smile. ]
Pardon me, but is there anything on this table you might recommend? I find myself gravitating toward the sweets, but I'd hate to miss out on something just as delicious.
c. dancing
[ But who could forget the main event of a dance? At various points in the night, when not looking for conversation or peering curiously at the spread on the buffet table, Clotted Cream can be found milling about the outer edges of the dance floor. At some point, he may approach you, charm turned up to the maximum. ]
Would you care to dance?
ii. 「wildcard」
[ if you want to do anything different, hit me up, you know the drill! please make note that cc is missing his right arm and also has visible ear fins and smatterings of golden-cream scales on his face, so he is very obviously partially fish-like ]
b
Considering the way he addressed him, he has a feeling the other has also forgotten. It's lonely, being the only one to remember their past.
And at least he's changed out of the ridiculous ensemble he had before with Fel. Well, mostly. He removed a lot of the "pirate" motif. The base is still the same. ]
Well, that kinda depends, yo. If you like sweets, but want to try somethin' a little out of the way, try summa the vegetable dishes first. They a good mix of sweet an' savior, an'll help you decide if you like the other flavors. Then you can try somethin' a little stronger in the savior taste.

Joshua | The World Ends With You | Current Player
[ Joshua isn't one for parties. Joshua is, however, one for people-watching. Ultimately, that's what wins him over - that and the promise of formal wear, and he can't just let an opportunity to inspect the local fashion pass him by, can be?
So, to the prom he goes! He chooses to make his own clothes rather than anything from the selection inside the cabin, though, because that means he's guaranteed to look good. Can't risk looking terrible, can he? Of course not.
Joshua can be found doing the following things:
Dance Floor: Hanging around the outer edge. He is not dancing, no thank you, but he is people-watching. Yes, that means you. Are you acting like a fool? Wearing a horrible outfit that doesn't fit right or doesn't match up with your complexion or, god forbid, just looks awful? He is watching. He is judging you over his glass of wine. What are you gonna do about it? OR MAYBE you're absolutely slaying it out there and looking great! If you are, the look is a little more approving.
Buffet Table: Judging the food. And you. And your choices of food. It's all pretty good in his opinion, but do you have to know that? Of course you don't! He's here to start food discourse. He's also here to eat the garlic mushroom canapés.
Invisibly Lurking: The fun thing about getting to be invisible is that you have the potential for so much chaos. Listening in on conversations, listening in as you talk to yourself, putting ice cubes from the punch bowl down the back of your collar, anything is possible! There is a very real chance he's doing it right now.
Snooping: He's curious, so sue him. Or join him? He doesn't know what he's looking for, but it sure would be a hoot to find something, wouldn't it? ]
ii. 「wildcard」
[ if you want to do anything different, hit me up, you know the drill! ]
?????????????????? one of them
His fingers itch to get the other into a chair.
The eye color is nice too, a wonderful combination with the hair.
Once he has a drink he prefers, he ghosts over with surprising ease. ]
An admirable look, you pull it off well.

Dipper Pines | Gravity Falls | Deer Country CRAU | New Player!
[This was not Trench. The whole ...sun shining with thriving nature, and animals that did not look like mutated corrupted hellcreatures was making that glaringly obvious. It was ...weird. Unsettling? In how unawful it was. Dipper isn't sure he trusts it. No, Dipper definitely doesn't trust it. Something about this was very wrong and he needed to get out of here.]
[The last thing he remembered was returning to the ocean with his sister, and what is also very clear to him, is that she is not here either. Did they get separated? Did he end up in some other world after drifting in the Pthumerian ocean? Either way, he needs answers.]
[He's riffling through his things, checking what he woke up here with. Looks like he has his journal, the Azure Pine, some tools for blood magic, and his lucky pen. Better than nothing.]
Okay, now-
[Dog??? Dog with basket??? Dipper sputters to a halt the moment he sees what the dog is carrying. His eyes light up.]
Dude, seriously? You're going to just share these? Do you know how hard it is to find fresh fruit where I'm from? Haha, oh man, okay, maybe this place isn't so bad.
Shining Shimmering NOPE
[He takes it back, this place is no longer cool. This reminds him of Trench. Something weird was going on with the mist and fog in the night. People were being convinced of strange visions and wandering off into danger. He's dealt with this specific kind of scenario enough times that he doesn't fall for it- and the moment he realizes he's in some kind of fantasy he breaks free of it pretty quick.]
[Which means he's out looking for people in trouble. He doesn't wake anyone up right away, because it really isn't good to disturb a sleep walker, but the moment they start heading towards trouble he'll step in.]
Hey! Hey, wake up!
[Or, if they're more stubborn, Dipper will tap into his abilities as a dreamwalker to try and draw people out of their fantasy.]
Dance the night away
[Dipper did not care for parties. This has never changed, but he's coming along anyway. It feels like he should and also, maybe he can learn a little more about what's going on be going. Sure. That's what he tells himself.]
[He's not going to admit he's getting lonely, being here without his family.]
[So, Dipper doesn't actively participate in the festivities, and is happy to be a wallflower, sitting in a corner somewhere with his journal open. He's writing down notes on the people in attendance, sometimes sketching people who look particularly interesting.]
[If someone approaches him, he will wave a hand.]
I'm a terrible dancer, but thanks anyway.
[ooc: HELLO. Dipper is from Deer Country, which is a game heavily based on Bloodborne. He is fifteen, some of his icon reflect that, but alss i'll be using a lot of canon icons too. For any additional info on him his app covers everything, including his blood-based abilities. Feel free to reach out to me with questions or plotting!!]
arrival
( that's definitely a way to make herself known, but felicity is a being of mischief above all else- mostly- so she can't help but be satisfied. dipper will observe two things: burn scars all over, including encroaching up her neck and settling like a gash on her jawline, and one arm is missing. despite this, she's carrying a pretty hefty basket of various herbs, flowers and mushrooms. )
Rusty's a good boy, though. If he's sharing, they're free to take.

Luca Aurelius | Original Character | Current Player
Yeah, no.
If anyone tries to make eye contact, or disrupt his line of sight, he quickly glances away once more. Don't perceive him, please don't perceive him. His neck feathers are poofed, this is a threat display, don't do it.
Eventually, though, he'll at least make his way to the buffet table. A few snacks are picked up and scrutinized. Those pigs in a blanket? he is very confused by them.]
What... is it? [He asks it mostly rhetorically before popping into his mouth. Three more are promptly picked up shortly after.
Of course, he wouldn't be much of a bartender if he didn't have a few flasks on his person. He doesn't really drink that much, but when your friends are cajoling you to get on a freak ass capybara to the middle of nowhere, you come prepared. A liberal amount of clear liquid from a flask is poured into a cup already partially filled with punch. He sips it, before making eye contact with the nearest soul.]
You want some?
[Eventually, the liquor has its intended effect. He makes his way to the dance floor, boldly grabbing a familiar hand and pulling them along. Or... maybe not so familiar? He's a little tipsy, so maybe he got confused. Either way, he pulls his partner into a waltz.
Will you manage keep up?]
garg delivery
Luca will probably hear him coming because he has hooves, but he's going to try to—]
Boo!
[—scare him anyway.]

But here he is nonetheless. Finding an outfit that works with the wings is a challenge, and he winds up with something a bit more sultry than he would have hope. But hey, at least he's comfortable?
Mostly comfortable. He does look a little nervous as he steps out of a changing room. He glances toward the nearest soul and, with a nervous laugh, does a little spin.]
Not too much, right?
[The good news is that the longer the night goes on, the more he begins to relax. Though he might try to deny it, the people here have become family. Which is why, after awhile, Vash finally casts off the last bits of hesitation and grabs someone by the wrist. It's time to dance.]
C'mon! This song seems fun!
[Vash... doesn't know shit about dancing. The most he can do is a line dance, and probably even that is a mess. Look at him. He's the whitest boy we know. But he's sure trying. And better yet, he's smiling.
Of course, it's not all dancing and laughter. There's also food at the buffet table. And of course, the local glutton is piling his plate high.]
Wanf shome? [He already has a shrimp tail sticking out of his mouth, but hey. Here he is, holding out a pair of tongs with another cluster of cocktail shrimp.]
no subject
The Second Vash comes out of the dressing room, some New Idiot or whatever yells across the floor at him:]
I like your dress!!!
[and whoever else he's talking to at the moment just has to deal with that. It'll be another moment until Ain flits over because he's loading up a plate with like, 30 of those fancy cheesecake bite things. Hi—]

Timekeeper Cookie | Cookie Run Ovenbreak
[Opening her eyes with no memory of shutting them is a more common occurrence for Timekeeper Cookie than she'll ever let anyone know. Opening them to an entirely new everything, on the other hand, is quite uncommon indeed. Perhaps even alarming, considering there's pretty much nothing she recognizes about this timeline, but then again, there's also a dog with a basket of fruit. Who are they to deny free food?
If you're lucky, you might catch her still in the clearing, perched on a giant floating pair of golden embroidery scissors in much the same way you'd imagine a witch sitting on a broom. She's got her arms full of fruits and berries, munching away as she takes in her surroundings, and occasionally reaching up to offer one to the... little orb with a face surrounded by turning cogs hovering over her shoulder. It pulsates briefly, and then the piece of food is gone. (This might be causing tiny ripples in local spacetime. It's fine, don't worry about it.)
If you're less lucky, she finds you first, seemingly appearing out of nowhere to tap you on the shoulder or pipe up cheerfully from your blind spot.]
Hmm, yes, you'll do! What can you tell me about this timeline?
2. This goes on for hours and it never seems to end (Dance)
[Timekeeper isn't usually one to show up to parties, but when faced with such a fascinating new world, how could she not? Ironically, the suit she's chosen for the occasion is decidedly less bombastic than her usual outfit, but drawing fewer eyes is advantageous while she's still trying to observe everyone here. You're quite likely to find her hovering around the buffet, repeatedly snatching up the tiny sandwiches.
However, when the music changes to an elegant waltz, her seemingly perpetual smile brightens considerably, and she simply can't help herself. She strides confidently onto the dance floor, approaches the first interesting looking person she sees, and offers her hand with a flourish and a bow.]
Might I have this dance?
[You may also notice Continuum Cog floating around the venue. It's not necessarily following Timekeeper everywhere, but exploring on its own, vanishing some of the food, occasionally bumping into people. It might start following you around if it's curious enough to, making various mechanical and ticking noises. Also, it's wearing a smaller version of Timekeeper's current hat. Why? Because it was cute.]
1
[Goodness, being tapped on the shoulder suddenly from behind does not do good things to Sparkling's heart, and that's saying a lot given the fact it stopped beating a long time ago. He turns around quickly, even more stunned to find someone unfamiliar...floating there, on that giant pair of scissors no less.
Like, he's seen plenty of strange things here, but this is certainly new compared to those.]
Oh, I...I'm sorry to say I'm- rather new here myself, actually? So I'm still learning about this..."timeline", I suppose. But I guess I should warn you, it seems that time isn't particularly...stable here, I do know that much.

Raihan | Pokemon SwSh | Current Player/New Character
[There is... a lot happening as Raihan finally peels himself up out of the grass that he'd apparently? fallen asleep in. He's definitely not in Hammerlocke. To be honest, the woods remind him a touch of Ballonlea, which absolutely serves to raise the hairs on the back of his neck.
But hey, there are familiar things! Like a weird Lilypad frog? He doesn't know the name of it, but it's definitely a Pokemon, so why would he be bothered! And there's even a cute little berry dog, too.
He's in the midst of shoving said berries into his mouth as he plucks out his phone. It doesn't take long for him to realize that he has no reception, none of his apps are working, and also Rotom itself seems to be a little disoriented.
It's about then that he flags down someone for help.]
Oi! You happen to know where I've been nipped off to, bruv?
ii. Netbook
[So it's not Rotogram, but that's not going to stop Raihan from using it like it. Which is why a... stick figure drawing of someone holding up a very vulgar peace sign appears in the netbook not long after Raihan arrives.]
so turns out some fucks got the bright idea 2 snatch me off 2 some place called aldrics grove. lol #annoying. anyway here's a pic of me makin' the best of a bad situation. remember 2 always #keepmovingforward no matter what
#241difference
[Yeah, you could say he's coping.]
iii. Prom
[Look, there's no way he's going to miss out on a chance to a) dress up, and b) party. So yeah, here he is. He's taken a page out of an old friend's book and gotten dressed to the nines. He's also not the only one dressed up. A green bug looking dragon is sitting beside him, wearing a little bowtie for himself. Raihan, apparently, is in the midst of giving him a pep talk.]
I know this place is a freakshow, mate, but at least we can have a little fun. you wanna dance a little, don't you?
[Raihan holds his hand out to the creature but... is promptly ignored. Instead, the bug dragon flies over to the nearest observer. It's little hands push at their back, nudging them toward Raihan. Looks like it's time for YOU to dance.]
i
[ Does Zazie know what bruv means? Nope! And doesn't care! Almost identical to how Raihan will look later, an insect is settled on their head, wings beating as it looks around. It's definitely no insect Raihan has ever seen before. ]
But it seems decent enough! A lot colder than I'd like but-
[ They holds their hands up and insects swarm into them, all sorts, a few more biblically accurate looking than others. ]
The ecosystem is rather neat!

Zazie the Beast | Trigun Stampede | Current Player (cw: bugs, lots of them, in mouths)
[ Well! Color them surprised! Waking up in a new world is all interesting and such, but really sort of lonely. And they can't even blame the Twins, because this doesn't seem to be their world at all. Unless it is, and they somehow all got wiped out.
Welp, time to explore!
If you're lucky you will catch Zazie just wandering around, investigating everything. Digging in the dirt, pulling on plants and trees, lifting a frightened squealing animal, or covered in bugs. New plant? New animal? New you? Hello they're in your face, pulling on your hair, your clothes, lifting your hand up.
If you're unlucky you might catch them opening their mouth, sticking their fingers in, and pulling out a long slimy looking insect they ponder, then drop to the earth. Where it wiggles it's way in. If they catch your eye, they cheekily raise a finger to their mouth. Shh. You saw nothing. ]
ii. SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLENDID
[ The haze doesn't seem to affect them at all. Maybe because of the worms they've already dropped into the ground, that are busy digging their way deep, eating what they find so they can begin to grow and get stronger. Or maybe the flying ones, keeping their sight above the smoke. Either way! It has been funny watching the humans of the place wander around in a daze at night.
And for reasons only they understand, either boredom or just to push the pot to see what happens, they won't hesitate to step in front of someone they see about to maybe enter the forest, or leap from a building, their mask on and the wings fluttering to keep them in the air. ]
Oh no no no! You don't want to go that way! That will end with you going splat! You should turn around!
iii. DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
[ Of COURSE they climb the weird furry thing to take them to new territory! It lets them drop more worms into the ground, and observe the weird humans. These ones are far different than the ones on Nomans. They don't look like they've suffered (well, some do, haha they see those pinched expressions they know what those mean), like their lives depend on exploiting the ecosystem. No plants, no wasteland, no strife.
They're kind of boring.
You may find the weird kid? lounging somewhere or perched somewhere, but mostly what you will find is a lot of weird looking bugs. They seem to be observing, but they will land and crawl on food, or land and crawl on you. Or hover unnervingly close, dragonfly wings like buzzing, and stare. ]
ii | Time for WW to be angry (this is not new)
And that's when he hears Zazie before he sees them, and it sets his already racing heard to pounding. He does not have the Punisher (it's back at the house due to aforementioned sleepwalking), but he does have his pistol at his hip, which his hand immediately goes to without him drawing it.
It could be another hallucination. He could be dreaming again.
The fact he doesn't know fucks him up more than the alternative.]
Where are you, Bug?

Kaden | Fire Emblem: Fates | Current Player/New Character
[ Funny enough, the first time that Kaden woke up, it had only been enough to briefly lift his head, sniff his surroundings, and upon smelling green forest and dirt, his subconscious declared "nothing out of the ordinary here, go back to sleep". There's a nice breeze, the sunshine feels so warm on his fur, and the spot he's laying in is oh so comfortable. Why would he ever want to move when he's still sleepy and the midday sun is still covering him like a beloved blanket? No, he'll stay right here, thank you.
Which means, there is a very large fox curled up sleeping just within the treeline surrounding the Grove proper. Are you going to disturb a fox as big as a horse? Are you? ]
ii. prom
[ Kaden hadn't originally intended to board the capybus, but everyone else had been, so his curiosity ultimately got the better of him. And boy, is he glad that he did! He isn't used to human parties, but he's been to Cyrkensia, which is a far grander scale than this. And he's actually invited to this one!
Human parties are different from kitsune parties, that's for sure. Fancy dress, fancy foods! He may not have taken any of the fancy dress for himself, but he likes to think that the sleek shine of his fur is all the fanciness he needs.
He is sniffing around the food table, though. He has no idea what half of these things even are, but he can at least differentiate between what's vegetable, fruit, and meat and... none of those things. Looking at you, cheese cubes. ]
Wow, everything smells great! Is this really all for us to just take?

Piers Pokemon | Pokemon Swsh | Current Player
[The first big problem here, is that Piers is outside, on the grass, in the sun. He wakes up, hissing like a vampire, and tries to roll over. How did he get outside? What's going on? He doesn't remember camping??? It is not the days of his gym challenge!! He will wilt-]
[Piers opens his eyes and is truly baffled by what he sees. None of this looks like ...anything he is familiar with? This isn't Spikemuth, obviously. This doesn't look like Glimwood Tangle, either, or even any part of the wilds he's seen before.]
[And then Rusty runs up to him and his eyes go even wider.]
Bloody kind of pokemon are you, mate?
[Arrival Part 2.]
[Piers has ...settled in? Sort of? He has spent a great deal of time shuffling around the place, trying to see if he knows anyone here. Trying to see if maybe his sister is here. He doesn't like the looks of this place, and he hates the feel of the fog even worse. While he is a dark-type trainer, he knows plenty of stories about the fairy-types and why you should never get lost in Glimwood Tangle.]
[Ugh, all of this is rotten.]
You there.
[That's right, he's talking to you. This weird, gaunt looking goth shuffles up to you in a pace slower than quicksand. He does not look like he's slept in a decade, and there is something stand-offish about his entire presence.]
Have you seen her by chance?
[He holds out what looks to be a trading card. On it is a young girl. The ...resemblance is probably super obvious. Probably.]
I'd like for her to be safe and sound back home, but the thought of her bein' lost and alone in this wretched place has me strung out somethin' awful. You'll tell me if you see here, yeah?
[Shinin' shimmerin', splended.]
[It's probably of no surprise that when the fog descends, it's easily visages of Marnie that draw him out of bed and into the night. It goes further than that of course.
She's leading him through the streets of Spikemuth, only the streets are packed with people, the shops are all open and full, and the streets look like they've been maintained and cleaned. Nowhere is the dilapidated, decaying state of the city he was accustomed to. Spikemuth was thriving, and he had to get to the Gym. He had a performance to put on, wasn't that right?]
[Anyone at the end might catch the eerie glimpse of this corpse of a man, shuffling in his sleep down the hall of the Inn. He probably doesn't even look that tranced until he starts climbing out one of the windows.]
arrival 2!
Unfortunately, I haven't seen a girl like this, but I'll keep my eyes open. Is she your sibling?
[If she focuses, she thinks she hears some melody in his heartbeat. Distress? Worry? Or is it that lack of sleep?]
