Rating: Varied

It's early morning in the quiet enclosure that will someday become Luceti. The sun is rising, birds are chirping in that annoyingly cheery way that makes you want to shoot them out of the trees, and the residents are beginning to wake up. Most of them are heading to work, either to farm, or to build, or to work the shops, or even just to prepare a nice breakfast for their families and neighbours. Everyone has something to do.

And then, out of nowhere, a couple hundred strangers show up in the middle of the woods.

At first there is confusion, and no shortage of caution, from the neighbours; newcomers are common enough, but usually they are announced beforehand, and never in such great numbers. The leaders of the town are called in to ask questions. The newcomers are free to explore, but any aggression will be met in kind; if need be, the Filial of the past will defend their homes. They're hoping it won't come to that, however. You're stuck with one another for a long time, after all.

Thankfully, there is one man who might be able to bring the natives and newcomers together: Tyr.

...And the other guy, maybe. We'll see.

((mingle and explore at will! further questions can be redirected to either of the posts linked above. NPCs will be available for plotty stuff soon.))

[Kurt did notice the odd sparkle-show. And then it's time to try to find Kari in the crowd.]

[Well good luck with that because Kari is going to be slinking through the crowd like so. Just try and stop her!!]

[Wow how scuddly of her! But he still has teleporting on his side and makes some short bamfs forward to try to catch up with her.]

[Oh no oh no oh no she forgot this guy was the one who could teleport.]

[She can just. Play it cool. She's like, 90% sure she's never actually spoken to this guy as Hoshikyo, so maybe her identity is safe.]

H-Hey, you should be careful where you do that. You might teleport right into someone's face or something.

Hey, don't worry! I'm a professional poofer. Your face is safe for now. But, uh... while you're talking to me... Are you alright?

[Clearly you can tell she's in a bad mood because she doesn't immediately jump on that professional poofer comment. Though it may inspire a nickname later on.]

Y-Yes! I mean, of course I am. You know, as all right as anyone else would be with the whole being thrown out of bed and then a few hundred years into the past thing.

And a... [He hesitates for a moment, then raises an eyebrow as he tries to describe it.] ...cloud of sparkles?

[DAMN okay okay. Better improvise here and fast.]

...o-oh! So you saw that too, huh? [Putting on the best incredulous face she can muster here. Seriously, someone give her an Emmy for this performance.] Yeah, it was really weird! I mean, it sorta freaked me out, since it didn't really happen to anyone else. Maybe it's like one of those... "shift incompatibilities" or whatever that they're always talking about?

Maybe. It definitely looked like some shifty business. I'm pretty sure I saw some blonde hair mixed up in there, too!

[SCREAMS INTERNALLY]

Blonde hair...? Come on, that'd just be silly! I-I mean, I'm pretty much as Japanese as they come! And how many blonde Japanese people do you know?

In person, I can't say I know many Japanese people at all... but on cartoons, that's a different story. [Her denials are starting so sound suspiciously specific, but he'll try to remain casual about this whole deal.]

I'm pretty sure cartoons don't count.

Not normally, but this place already is like a cartoon show on a daily basis.

Yeah, well... well... okay. You kind of have a point there, actually. [Maybe this could be here chance to change the subject!]

And you know, with all this time travel business going down, we're probably gearing up to a season finale or something. Which means something big is probably gonna go down soon.

A season finale? Are you sure this isn't just one of the episodes in the middle where something silly happens? I like those.

It all seems pretty serious to me. I mean, time travel isn't exactly a simple process. So there's no way we would have been sent here unless it was for something really important.

But they didn't exactly tell us why we're here. There aren't any clues, are there?

Not yet, maybe. But a good finale's gotta have some mystery and build-up! Otherwise it'll be a total let-down when we reach the inevitable plot-twist.

[He rubs his head.]

I don't think my head's ready for any plot twists... I'm still trying to wrap my head around Miss Blonde and Sparkly.

[kjsjdf damnit]

Sounds more like you should get your eyes checked, if you ask me. Maybe the shift incompatibility is affecting you too?

Oh, something shifty is going on here. I know that much! [He says teasingly as he crosses his arms confidently.]

...that was terrible.

[He points a finger.]

But you didn't deny anything!

Probably because I was in shock over your god-awful pun.

Hey, it wasn't that bad! Maybe you just haven't heard enough good comedy.
