001 - [Action]

Part One

[Anyone passing by the Battledome might notice a stranger sitting on the ground nearby, quite clearly disorientated as he rests a hand on his head and tries to make sense of what on earth had just happened to him. Where was he? What was this domed building all about? Why was he half-naked?! Aside from that he was obviously alone here with no sign of Hanpan, Rudy or the princess anywhere in sight.

Luckily, it didn't take long for Jack to spot his clothes neatly piled up beside him, though he had to wonder why whoever had done this to him had bothered to strip him of his clothes, only to leave them right next to him. There was a book sitting on top of it too. An explanation, perhaps? It's when he clothes himself that he realises there's something else odd about this situation. No... odd about him. Before donning his coat, he reaches behind him and realises that he's suddenly sprouted wings!]


...what the hell?!

[They were definitely real... and lead him to test the rest of his body for any sudden additional appendages, though he doesn't find anything else out of the ordinary. Well, nothing aside from the fact that everything he was carrying, including his sword, has also gone missing. Great. Now he was lost, confused and unarmed all at once.]

Part Two

[Later in the day, after giving the book a look over, Jack heads into the nearby village, noting all the rest of the people here who seem to have sprouted wings. Following the paths leads him past rows of houses, over a river and eventually into a town. At least he should be able to find supplies here, hopefully make some money too.

...he was about to head into the weapons shop to see if he could find something suitable, but becomes sidetracked by the bar there. After everything that had happened? A drink might be good right about now.]


(OOC: Feel free to meet him by the Battledome, in Good Spirits, or anywhere in between!)

Good Spirits

[It's just another mundane shift at Good Spirits when Karla spots a customer she hasn't seen before. Well, time to get to work.]

[Karla approaches the newcomer with a pleasant smile.]


Hello, you look like a new face. What can I get for you today?

Something strong...? All right, I'll be right back.

[That's the first time she's gotten a rather generalized order. So it takes her a little longer to choose something to serve. She decides on a mug of beer and brings it back out, setting it on the table. And then she answers his next question.]

A local? Well, I would not say I'm a local anywhere...

[She's wandered for so long, she's lost the ability to call any place a home.]

But this place is called Luceti. I've been here for about a year now.

[Karla smiles again, not even questioning whether the man is satisfied.]

I hadn't heard of Luceti either. I'm from Elibe...but no one knows how any of us got here. People just...appear and disappear, I guess. But the Malnosso keep us in here, and sometimes they run experiments.

[personal profile] swordprincess 2014-05-14 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...I've heard that the Malnosso are trapped here themselves, and they're doing these experiments to try to find a way home. I don't know whether to believe it, though.

The wings...I'm not sure what they're about...but I do know that losing both wings will kill us.

[Even she's having a hard time making sense of this after a whole year.]

[personal profile] swordprincess 2014-05-17 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes...it is very strange.

[Her eyes widen, concerned as he chokes, and then responds.]

Ah, yes...even minor injuries to the wings are extremely painful, so it must be true.
swordprincess: (Pose)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2014-05-21 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that would be wise.

[She takes a look at the book. It looks like the journal that everyone uses.]

Oh, that must be your journal. You can use it to communicate with everyone here. It's a nice thing to have.

I don’t know if it’s magic, but it is interesting and useful. [She smiles at the thanks.] I’m Karla. How about you?
