[START]

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourselves in a wide open field, beneath a stormy sky. No rain falls upon your skin, but you can feel a silent, tingling crackle all around you. White birds swoop and spiral, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden by low cloud-cover.

Closest to you, in the center of the glade, is a clocktower-sized version of this. The minute hand is cranking gently clockwise, while the hour hand shivers and jerks counterclockwise.

To the north is a huge tree, overburdened with leaves in a rainbow of colors. The branches creak and bow with the weight of them, but through it all you can catch glimpses of some kind of structure.

To the south, green grass gives way to a blanket of snow. A Camelot cabin, quaintly dusted with white, stands there.

To the west, gentle steams rise over a pool of water. Plants grow along the banks.

And finally, to the east, a paved pathway leads off into the distance. It looks remarkably like a city sidewalk, complete with lampposts and drains.]

... huh.

[looking around the area thoughtfully, trying to get his bearings about the place; then heads over to examine the clock itself]

[Would you look at that sassy as hell clocktower!! You can hear a quiet, steady tick-tick, tick-tick, and as if you get closer you can make out the shape of a doorway etched into one of its legs.]

[flicking his gaze around quickly to see who else is there]

[blackjacked]

[oh god it's not like I have issues with drowning or anything]

[t. . . takes a moment to regain his bearings, before joining the group inspecting the sassy clock]

Re: [START]

[considering that, reaching to press his fingers against that door, but not pushing yet; just sort of testing to see if there is any give]

[silverbulletkun]

[ugh what's with that unpleasant entrance, taking a moment to regain his bearings before hesitantly wandering closer to that weird clock]

Re: [START]

[shednotearsformagic]

[WHY WAS THERE SINKING, fffff.]

[Okay, no, I'm cool. It's cool.]

[...I think I will go for this clock.]

Re: [START]

[blackjacked]

I wonder. . .

[reaching out to brush his hand against the doorknob. DOES IT FEEL LIKE A DOOR?]

Re: [START]

[everfixedmark]

Nezumi.

Where to?

Hey.
