1st Dive: Beginnings [Action]

[koiwamizuiro]

[A quiet and peaceful slumber after a long, tiring day in high school for Ai Nanasaki ended up with her waking up in the middle of a forest, her body on the ground surrounded by leaves. Not that she thought she was waking up at first, but that she was in the middle of an odd dream, rather. A particularly vivid one.

It was a bit cold - certainly colder than her room had been - and her body didn't feel as relaxed as it did on the comfy mattress. And she was lying on something else other than the ground.

As Ai leaned forward, her eyes inspected her surroundings curiously, her head feeling a bit dizzy. It resembled the hill her grandfather owned, but... there was something off about it. She wasn't on the route she usually took, either - there wasn't one to begin with.

Still feeling something on her back, she reached over her shoulder and touched what felt like a wing. Also, she seemed to be wearing a peculiar white sundress and not the pyjamas she had gone to bed with.]

Huh...

[This was so strange. And it felt real. It didn't feel like a dream.

Ai continued turning her head around, and it wasn't until her gaze landed on a book right beside her when she stopped doing so.

The girl reached out and inspected both covers of the peculiar object with curiosity in her eyes.

Standing up with the book in her hands, she opened it up, trying to make sense of what was happening. But what was inside of it just seemed to confuse her even more at that point.]

Where am I...?

[Her voice sounded as confused as it could be. It was a good question. And why did it feel like she had wings on her back?]

(OOC: Ai will be walking around the forest while inspecting the book, trying to either find anyone who could help explain what was going on or a sign of civilization. You can catch her there.)

[ In a moment remarkably similar to when she first arrived, Twilight is making a lazy spiral around the town, moving farther and farther out, when she spots the new arrival on the ground below her. ]

Hello down there! [ She slows her movement and descends to land beneath the treetops. Have a three-feet-odd-inches tall winged purple unicorn landing right in front of you, Ai. ]

[Garrosh might have "moved into" a house for now, but he was not content to eat the food that was provided in the village. No, he goes out to hunt and trap and gather in the forest regularly. Not that hunting is easy what with how late into winter it is...

Anyway, while not in his full armor (no tusks on his shoulders for example) he is in some lighter parts of his armor and has a big knife in his hand. And a badly sewn together mes of furs on his shoulder as a cloak. Oh, and he's an eight foot tall orc. but he's actually out here to check his rabbit snare traps.

But he probably stands out]

[Wig liked the forests of Luceti a lot - with spring inching its way around, more and more animals were bound to pop out - and Diamond had begun to walk his big old Torterra in them. Lax, his Munchlax, is lazing away beneath the tortoise's mighty tree, and Diamond himself is sitting behind Wig's head. He spots her as she's moving through some trees, still staring at something (the book?), and pats his Torterra's head as he points.]

Ah, there's a girl... Wig, let's get closer! If she's new, then she'll need help.

[And shuffle closer they do! Until he's sure they're in her view, where Diamond will raise both his hands in greeting.]

Hi there! I'm Diamond, this is Wig and sleeping there is Lax, and you're new, right? I was new too a few days ago.

[There were times in these cold, late winter days when Rei desperately needed to just be away from people. This cycle marked the anniversary of her first year in Luceti. A full year trapped in this odd little village, and even the fragile peace she'd found here at the shrine wasn't enough to keep her mind from wandering. So this afternoon the miko found herself in the forest, wandering with her twin crows Phobos and Deimos flitting around her.

As she passed by a clearing, she heard a rustling of leaves and headed over, wanting to investigate.

And it bothered her all the more that, when faced with a girl a couple of years older than her in a New Feather dress, she didn't even blink. Even that just seemed normal. The girl appeared to be Japanese, so she took a guess.]

Konichiwa. Are you hurt?

sorry for lateness?!

[Aang is on a stroll through the forest himself - not only because he likes talking nature walks through the forest, but also because he's keeping an eye out for any New Feathers. He's wearing a jacket and some wintry clothes along with a goofy-looking hoody-hat, but part of his arrow tattoo should still be visible.

And when he sees someone in New Feather clothes looking particularly confused, he's quick to wave her down.]

Hi there! Are you lost?

[knightofratatosk]

[Well, this particular someone isn't going to be much help in explaining things, but the small furry animal is friendly enough, at least, so perhaps he will help calm her down a bit?

If nothing else, he'll slow her down, because much like a cat, he's going to be attempting to twine around her legs to get her to pay attention to him.]
