TDM 1 ⬡ The Oval Portrait
    The Chateau ⬡ Common Cast Characters most likely to originate in The Chateau are The Aristocrat and The Valet ⬡ Literary Description "To all appearance it had been temporarily and very lately abandoned. We established ourselves in one of the smallest and least sumptuously furnished apartments. It lay in a remote turret of the building. Its decorations were rich, yet tattered and antique. Its walls were hung with tapestry and bedecked with manifold and multiform armorial trophies, together with an unusually great number of very spirited modern paintings in frames of rich golden arabesque." ⬡ For Your Exploration Characters may attempt to explore the Chateau, but it will be shrouded in darkness, and every room they enter will bring them back to the apartment chosen by The Valet. What decorations may be seen are dark and victorian in design, and the room and halls may be lit by candlelight. The Maiden's portrait is on the wall, and will initially be cloaked in shadow for The Aristocrat to find. It appears remarkably lifelike, almost as though it is a window instead of a portrait. The other paintings on the walls will contain figures that are almost familiar to The Aristocrat and The Valet - as though they could be someone they know, but only if they squint. There is no electricity. Characters will not have access to any powers. The Artist's Tower ⬡ Common Cast Characters most likely to originate in The Artist's Tower are The Maiden and The Painter ⬡ Literary Description "But she was humble and obedient, and sat meekly for many weeks in the dark, high turret-chamber where the light dripped upon the pale canvas only from overhead. But he, the painter, took glory in his work, which went on from hour to hour, and from day to day." ⬡ For Your Exploration Should characters leave the Painter's studio, they will immediately be transported outside, to a sprawling field of wildflowers. There won't seem to be anything else around, but there will be a light breeze and the sound of the sea in the distance. Inside the studio, the air is stale and musty, smelling of oil paints and turpentine. It's dim, lit only by a skylight. There is a stool for the subject and an easel with canvas sitting in the light, but everything else - art materials, more canvases, both empty and with the beginnings of paintings, and props - are all pushed to the sides of the room and cloaked in shadow. Like The Chateau, there is no electricity, and characters will not have access to their powers. The Library ⬡ Welcome! Free from their roles, through either death, completion of the Story, or from not being pulled into the tale in the first place, characters will find themselves in the gardens outside of the Library itself. As always, it will look and feel like a temperate, autumn afternoon. As this setting is part of the Library itself, characters will have full access to all their powers. ⬡ Grand Opening Coming Soon! The front door will, unfortunately, be locked, and a sign will be taped on the doors, detailing how the Library will be opening soon, but in the meantime to please enjoy the grounds and the pizza party in the courtyard. ⬡ Pizza party? Pizza party! In the courtyard, there will be tables set up that will be absolutely covered in stacks of paper plates, 2-liter bottles of any soda one could dream of, and stacks and stacks of pizza boxes, containing any flavor combination that could be desired. Opening a random box will provide a random, but popular, flavor. Opening a box with an Intent and a Desire for something specific will provide exactly that. Enjoy! It won't run out. | ||||||||||||||

aahahaha fuck! this is seeming less and less of a coincidence! it's kind of starting to make shang qinghua sweat, but he cannot help himself, He Must Know
at the very least his inward bullet monologue is distracting him from shen jiu's pitiful orphan vibes and he comes off as kind of thoughtlessly blasé. ]
Qi-ge, huh? [ does he sound normal? he just choked on a piece of pizza, he does not. he clears his throat. ] How'd you get separated? Did he go off somewhere on his own, or...?
no subject
Shen Jiu turns his gaze downwards at the question, kicking forlornly at the ground.]
I'unno, I woke up here and he was gone. [Which means he's the one who went off somewhere on his own, leaving Qi-ge behind...Qi-ge's not gonna die from worry while he's gone, is he? What if the other kids take advantage of him now that he's alone and defenseless!
—What's the point of worrying if he's here and Qi-ge's there, anyway! He looks back up again.] You don't live here, right? Everyone here looks new.
no subject
Yeah, I definitely don't live here. I mean -- uh, actually, I think we all kind of do now, probably, but I'm not from here. [ he actually lets out a little chuckle at that. ] I mean, this place doesn't exactly look like one of the Four Great Sects, does it? Nah, I'm pretty sure the rest of the people here just got yanked from their own worlds like you and me.
[ which means you're probably not gonna see qi-ge again, sorry kid! ]
no subject
He still can't help looking disappointed though, a fact he attempts to hide by frowning Harder.]
The great sects? If you're from there, couldn't you just, you know...cultivate your way out of here, somehow? [He waves his hands in a vague gesture that is probably meant to convey ~cultivator magic~.]
no subject
he throws up his hands in surrender. ]
Haha, hey, listen, even immortals don't necessarily know how to travel between worlds. How would I even start? I don't even know how we got here.
[ he's also not that good of a cultivator for an immortal! but that's fine, shen jiu doesn't know enough to know the difference. that is bothering him though. how DID he get here. ]
Shit, did I die again?
no subject
If you died doesn't that mean all of us are? I don't know about you, but I feel perfectly alive still!
[what happened to his pathetic act....]
no subject
Oh, uh, haha, no, I didn't mean that literally, it's, uhhh -- a cultivator thing! Obviously we're still alive.
[ at least, he thinks they're still alive? idk man, you die once, you think you know everything, then poof, you transmigrate again outta fuckin nowhere. at least he's not a baby this time though?
shen jiu seems suddenly much more okay, which doesn't surprise shang qinghua so much as make him wince inwardly. okay, so, he's kind of fuzzy on the timeline of shen jiu's backstory and some of the details, too -- and that's not his fault! -- but the extent to which shen jiu was putting on an act, even if it hadn't thoroughly bewitched shang qinghua, is...a little worrying?
exactly how young did shen jiu get to be Like This again? ]
-- Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. You're not dead. [ the hand flapping, it is so very dignified and reassuring. he jerks a thumb at the door. ] And, bonus! No sleeping outside. Assuming they actually do let us in.
no subject
If they don't, do you know how to survive out here? It's probably harder to find shelter when you're so big.
[The jig fell apart, excuse the sniffle, he'd been considering turning on the waterworks before that interruption happened.]
no subject
[ uughhh he's not sure he likes that look on shen jiu? ah, go back to pretending to be a helpless child, even though shang qinghua knew it was probably all an act it was less uncomfortable! ]
Besides, why would they feed us pizza and put up this sign, and then not let us in? Unless this is like a horror movie kinda deal and they're waiting for us all to turn on each other. [ hm. ] That would suck.
no subject
[Suspicion increases!!]
