[Action:

Kaladin’s training kicks in fast, and he’s out of the loose flowing white clothes in seconds, reaching for his weathered blue uniform - the fabric thick but well used, a little rough but familliar between his fingers. Thats when he feels them first - the wings, sprouting from his back, feathered like the strange chicken’s from Shinovar, and completely alien. Also, completely attached to his back. He’d grasped at them a few times, trying to make sense of it, but eventually left them alone - it hurts when he tugged on the feathers, but he seemed to have some control of them. He shifts on his uniform, glad that they nestle (albeit slightly uncomfortably) against his shoulder blades. At least they were out of sight. Nothing could be done for the way they itch, just slightly though. He straightens the silver buttons of his uniform a single time, tan fingers tracing the lines one final time. His trusty spear is also suspiciously missing, and he is in the middle of a forest. Both of these things are deeply unsettling. Especially seeing as the foliage doesn’t recoil from his touch - or, indeed, from any pressure at all. It just sits there, still, in all its leafy glory, and the ground isn’t hard stone like in Roshar - on the contrary, its soft like sand but denser. He places a hand against the bark of a tree, and takes in a deep breath, trying to steady himself. There is a faint breeze that seems to whistle past one ear, then he sees something that resembles tousled leaves. From it, Syl appears. She glows with a faint blue light, and lands gently on his shoulder, the short gust of wind subsiding as she crumples up like a delicate paperdoll. She takes the form of a young woman only a few centimetres in height, with a skirt that hits about her knees, and seems to sway in a breeze that isn’t quite there. She hunkers down quietly, and leans against the collar of his shirt. He doesn’t ask where her usual cheer has gone - the dissonance between this… place and their own world is explanation enough. But he is glad for her company.]

[Accidental Video:]

What is this thing? [Kaladin picks up the journal, flicking open a page. Its set up strangely, thats for sure. Also, as he speaks, the words seem to be appearing on the page - yes, words that he can actually read. He makes a startled noise, narrowing brown eyes and raising a brow and pulling an incredulous face at the book between his hands. Glyphs, sure, he had been proficient at - but words? Reading? That was a women's art. He had a feeling it had something to do with the feathery protrusions on his back. After all, they were the most alien addition on top of the list of already obscure experiences. He decides continuing the conversation can't hurt his situation.]

If anyone is here.. or can explain anything about this place, now would be the time to show yourself!

[ He sort of raises his voice at the last part, but it just seems to echo through what seems to be the vast expanse of forest. No use for it then - he starts up walking. He has the feeling he's got a long way to go before he gets an explanation for any of this. ]

A. [Action;]

[It's been a few days now since his arrival. His return, technically, although he can't recall ever being here before.]

[Real or Not Real, Peeta Mellark has wings.]

[Exhaustion finally claimed him at some point (his recall of the last few days is hazy at best) and he now has at least a few hours of sleep in him. He's fairly certain he didn't actually manage to harm anyone that first day. Surely they would have locked him away if he had, right?]

[Still, as he walks he hunches his shoulders inside the over-large hooded sweatshirt that's currently hiding his wings, avoiding others as best he can. Nestled between his hands is a cup of hot chocolate, that luxury he only tasted for the first time recently, during his days in the Capitol leading up to the Games. The warm liquid soothes his throat, gone raw from screaming.]

[He has no real destination in mind beyond getting out and stretching his legs. Maybe he shouldn't be out, endangering others. Maybe they ought to have locked him away when they had the chance. Yet standing here now, looking up at the sign for the bakery, he doesn't feel particularly dangerous. He just feels tired, and worn, and empty.]



B. [Voice;]

[His voice is hoarse, as if it's been used too much recently.]

So apparently I've been here before... or at least, that's what they tell me. Does that happen often around here? People coming and going?

A. [Action :: The Art Gallery]

[There aren't many paintings District 11. The sketches in the worn textbooks in school, crude drawings in the ground, those are the things Rue sees. Paintings are for richer people, for Capitol citizens.

It's a strange thing seeing a painting of yourself. They're beautiful paintings. She reaches out to touch it, but stops, afraid to damage it or ruin the moment captured in paint.

Rue stretches out her wings, bright yellow like her namesake. Without a word, she presses the three middle fingers of her right hand to her lips and holds them out.

Thank you, Peeta.]

Character Fandom: The Mary Sue Halfblood Chronicles

[The animals here talk. It's traumatizing. The last time he'd tried to take down an elk, it had pleaded for its life and continued to spite him even after he'd put it out of its misery by giving him horrible indigestion. Keman already has trouble eating animals that resemble his former pets; how is he going to hunt at all with this kind of guilt weighing over him?

He's a dragon. A small one, granted, but big enough that he has to eat a certain amount of meat per day in order to keep up his strength. Even now, wandering around in halfblood (half elf, half human for the uninitiated) form to conserve energy, he's still absolutely starving.

Right now he can be found amongst the groceries with every single rotisserie chicken in the store in his shopping basket, eyeing the vegetables dubiously. Sure, he's an omnivore in this form, but...

He picks up a head of kale and sniffs it.]


Is this supposed to be cooked?

Alternate scenario: [video/action?]

[Keman propped his journal up on a rock before his morning fly/attempt to hunt for food that won't try to talk to him and cause a crippling existential crisis, but he accidentally knocks it to the ground with his tail and the video switches on. For a while there's nothing but a boring view of the leaves and random detritus that litter the forest floor, but then he lands again and the camera gets a distinct view of a huge, blue, claw that blurs and then resolves into a booted foot. That weird kid who dresses like an extra from Lord of the Rings picks up the journal and stares anxiously at the camera.]

Fewmets. Was this on? That's...I need to...how do I erase it?

[The entire thing seems like some sort of trick to her. Heaven? She doubts it. At least she can morph. The Ellimist or Crayak playing some twisted new game, or maybe Visser One has some sort of weird, uh... nevermind. Visser One wouldn't design anything this friendly-looking. Or subtle. If he was behind this, she'd already be dead or a Controller, and she definitely wasn't a Controller.

Unfortunately, the sundress she carries in the talons of her eagle morph is the only clothing she has, and she doesn't really feel like walking around in that. Fortunately, it's not too long before she sees what she's looking for.

Even in crazy middle-ages everybody-has-wings world, there is still a clothing shop. Cha-ching. Which reminds her, she has no money... but hey, who's going to try and charge a bald eagle for theft? She'd get them the money eventually. If the shopkeeper is a Controller, maybe they'll try something, but she needs some kind of clothing.

So the eagle flits into the clothing shop and begins browsing. Just an eagle. Out shopping. Nothing to see here.]

[When the initial journal feed clicks on, anyone watching will find a boy pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he attempts to figure out the mysteries of this little book.]

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain, right? [Flip, flip, flip. It's not hard for him to figure out that there's something magical about this book, but he's not quite sure he likes it. But, you know, he's not just going to idly sit by. May as well give it a go, shall we?]


Er. [Wait, start over. Patience isn't exactly his strong point though, so forgive him if he just barrels right through to get to the bottom line.] …hi. Look, this really, really isn't the greatest time for me to be here, so I'd appreciate it if somebody could just give me a general idea of what this place is. [His wings flap irritatedly, and he looks over his shoulder to stare at them. Yes, those are really going to be helpful in stopping Lord Voldemort.]

It's just that I've got something really important I need to be doing, and time's sort of a factor. So…anything at all would be great. Thanks.

[But what's he just sitting on the edge of the fountain for? He's not exactly going to wait around for someone to answer, so anyone is free to find Harry just wandering around the village, taking note and categorizing everything he can to try and piece it all together. Oh all right, it's not exactly the most in-depth exploration, but it's good enough to figure out he at least has a few options for clothes.]

[He hasn't been here very long. Not in comparison to Jilly and some of her friends. But every day without his fiddle has felt like a lifetime. Geordie can barely remember a day that's gone by where that fiddle of his hadn't accompanied him on a journey.

It's not being so far from Newford that matters. Not even being so far from his brother and his friends. It's the lack of a fiddle - his fiddle - that felt as if it would slowly drive him mad.

On Jilly's advice, he had taken to haunting the items shop. And today, of all days, it's finally paid off. It might not be his and the thing might be old and the strings not properly tuned, but it's still a fiddle.

For the rest of the day, you can find him by the fountain, playing the fiddle without a care in the world. Eventually, a tune can be heard through the journal.]


I'm taking requests, if anybody has any.

[When, you may ask, did the man strolling down the street arrive in Luceti?

Well, that's rather difficult to say. Surely one hasn't seen him before, so he must be a New Feather, but he is already walking about without much concern for his surroundings, suggesting a familiarity that such an arrival cannot give.

He's a tall young man, darkly coloured, and there's a little smile on his face as she goes about. His clothes are a little old-fashioned, Edwardian at best, but he is also quite at ease with the motley wings on his back, which rest placidly.

His eyes shine a little as he sees someone. Just who he was looking for.

Harley Quin always knows just where he needs to be just when.

His course and pace change, and soon he's alongside, walking in step toward the café. Surely, by the look of him, that had been his destination all along. Lightly, he addresses the person he's now walking with.]


Fine time for coffee, isn't it?

[And he chuckles at the coincidence of both of them deciding to go to the same place just then.]

Then comes the emphasized groan.
]

Guess I'm overdue for a new pain in the ass.

[ It's a voice that can best be described as a derisive growl. Dry. Sobriety will do that to a man. Though he is speaking to himself, his words are clear enough to suggest to any that have half a brain about them that he is very aware that he can be heard by others. How many, where they are and, of course, their intentions...well, that's all something he's going to have to fish for.

He knows all too well that this is how these games work, after all.

[ Here we have it, Luceti, the dulcet tones of everybody's... favorite... mentor. Sounding a bit exasperated, a bit more like he doesn't actually give a crap about the outcome of this post, and a bit more like he's been drinking.

Which he has, of course. To his credit (or the credit he'd give himself, thanks much), he's not passed out on his table or halfway to it yet. Yet being the operative word, but hey, he's still getting back into practice. He's just kind of been casually flipping through pages through the night and into morning, watching full conversations unfold, not paying any attention to the things he doesn't see a point in paying attention to.

There's not much he can easily listen in on and get anything really useful from. Typical fare, that. But he came to a very important and calculated conclusion in the process. Amazing wisdom that should be passed down and cherished.

Wait, no, he didn't. ]

[ Waking up in a forest is the last thing he expected. Really, waking up at all was astounding, let alone with the sounds of nature around and with fresh, cool air filling his lungs.

He's slow to sit up, waiting for the pain to come. His sole companion for...he wasn't sure how long...it only made sense it would return soon. But there's nothing. Long, skilled fingers find his face and skim over unblemished flesh. His bare chest, when he looks down, is unharmed as well. Not what he remembers.

The lack of fire in his nerves lets him finally feel something he hasn't felt in awhile. Hunger. Thirst. It's enough that, eventually, he allows himself to stand and make his way to the nearby stream. The water is cool and welcoming against his skin, even if the spring air is a bit chilled, and he drinks his fill and splashes his face before settling back on the bank.

It's only then he catches sight of his reflection...really catches... and he sees the sleek black wings. They flex under his attention, and there's the briefest flash of gold as the tips of the pinions come into view...and then disappear. Well.

He gives the briefest of laughs, his soft voice carrying to the open journal, unknown to him. ]

[Never let it be said that a Career is against learning.

The village provides food-- good food and for free--, but Clove isn't inclined to trust that this will last forever. She assumed her food supply was secure once; three nights of falling asleep with hunger pains were her punishment for that. So, now, she is trying to learn the skills she previously discounted.

Two attempts are already set up. Handmade nets-- string woven together to discourage breakge and tied together in moderate-sized squares-- are positioned. One is laid out in the brush. The other is dipped in the stream, supported by a stick secured on the bank with a small stone structure. It only extends halfway across, and the dark twine shows under the water easily.

She has three other methods with her: more twine and a book on snares, a shoddy hand-made fishing pole, and a sharpened stick to use as a spear. More Cato's style than hers, but he isn't here... So she'll try to learn.

She's talking to herself, muttering as she tries to make a snare. Not as easy as the book makes it look. Her tone is determined, not angry.]

[Not necessarily every day Luceti gets an emperor incognito running around. Or really, just walking around with the slightest slump as if to carefully disguise his military upbringing. He's pretty good at it, too. He appears to be soaking things in, his black-and-silver wings folded as tightly as possible against his back, betraying a heck of a lot of tension in this new and nervous environment. Green foliage betrays Earth; ergo, Luceti must be somewhere on Earth. Held by someone who has a use for a twenty-five-year-old foreign mascot head of state. Could be anyone. Simon Illyan must be having conniptions. He can't even imagine his Prime Minister.

He doesn't expect to be recognized by galactics. Barrayar is so backwoods by galactic standards that he'd be a lot more surprised if he was recognized. Still, his name itself is plenty widespread--not everyone has a planet named after their family--so it'd be best to use the Bleakman alias he'd cooked up while trying to go to sleep.

Still. Wings. If this makes him count as a mutant, his anxieties over being Emperor are officially moot. There's a disturbing amount of comfort in that.

Round and round he goes, getting dizzier and dizzier from hunger until he finally heads into Seventh Heaven and offers to work to pay for food.

Imagine his surprise.

Other than that, he'll be around town, starting no conversations, examining things a little too long, and mostly looking preternaturally blank. Or, to some eyes, just plain glum.

At some point, he'll finally say something over the journals, which are easy enough to figure out.]


Excuse me. [The slightest lift to one eyebrow as he realizes how weird and liberating it feels to address a question to an entire network of people without a full security team, monitors, holoprompter, etc.] Is anyone looking for hired help?

[When Sabriel had first awoken she almost had a panic attack. She was weaponless, her armor stripped away in favor of a light dress that was far too thin and far too disoriented for her liking. It was only after she’d scoped out her immediate surroundings, searched the area physically as well as feeling for any Dead that she finally relaxed and took proper notice of the journal lying close by.

A thorough examination of the journal and read through the guide later she’s fiddling with the pages of the thing, the video flickering on to show her frowning down at the pages, unsure of how exactly to work it at first. Regardless of what questions and frustrations she had there was something she had to get clear to whoever was already living here, especially if they came across her equipment.]

If anyone happens to come across a brown leather bandolier of bells, please do NOT touch them unless you want to possibly die a swift death.

And I mean that in the most literal sense I can express.

[She gives the screen a very stern look, eyes narrowed and hard to fully impress her seriousness of the situation before sits back a bit as she sighs.]

With that out of the way, does anyone know where I might acquire a pair of breeches? Or rather, how to get there? I’m currently…well.

[The screen tilts as she lifts the journal, slowing turning on the spot to show her completely surrounded by trees, no other landmarks in sight.]

Any help would be very much appreciated. And please do not ignore my earlier warning.

Thank you.

[And with that the feed ends, leaving Sabriel to hunch down between the roots of the largest tree around to huddle for warmth.]
