{ QUICK NAV } Premise ⚔️️ Rules ⚔️️ FAQ ⚔️️ Taken ⚔️️ Reserves ⚔️️ Apply ⚔️️ Locations ⚔️️ Bestiary A ⦿ Soaking in Your Arrival KERPLUNK, SPLASH! Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. You'll definitely see other new arrivals plopping in. If you can't swim, a red-headed woman known only as the Lady of the Lake will drag you to the shore if she doesn't spot someone else near you helping so no one ends up drowning. She's a little busy casting directive magic to make sure everyone lands safely and playing lifeguard, so if anyone attempts to talk to her, she'll tell them to head up to the Rent-a-Ride. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, but if you do fall, be prepared for a mysterious sand hand to reach out of the side of the cliffs to catch you. The hand will pat you atop the head twice before retreating back into the wall. This is the Cliff Beast; despite the name, he is quite friendly. B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot Once everyone is wrangled up to the top of the White Cliffs, the handsome owner of the Rent-a-Ride, Archimedes, will distribute smart phones and a pair of earbuds to everyone before getting them settled in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and give them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The universe is frozen in time and your character has been brought here by a familiar that was able to bond with them. They'll have to learn magic to help save their own world from destruction, but first they've got to get them to Camelot. It is here that you have the first opportunity to decide who they will be in their new home. You'll have about an hour to wander around here, meet and greet, and pet the horses before it's time to go. These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, avalononline (AOL), to chat with other characters, watch dumb videos, learn about the world, contact Camelot Support (they'll answer any questions they can for you, from how to use a smart phone to where to find quests and resources to learn more about your magic). Be careful if you decide to use your phones while in the caravan-- if you don't use those earbuds and start forcing everyone to listen to your nonsense, Archimedes may make you walk. C ⦿ The Red Spring The journey from the White Cliffs to the City of Camelot is a long one, and the first evening you arrive you'll end up spending at the Red Spring, a booming resort town. Because of the volume of new arrivals and vacationers, inn rooms are assigned two-to-a-room. The rooms have two twin beds, a bathroom, a mini-fridge and microwave, and a TV equipped with a couple of entertaining video games and a few free movies. If you don't want to relax in the room, try taking a dip in the spring for another chance to meet your fellow travelers. The waters have restorative properties that help horses and travelers recover quickly when drunk. It is known to relieve stress, improve energy levels, and mildly accelerate healing. The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do.. if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there. A ⦿ Get Fresh Upon arrival in Camelot travelers are ushered to a large set of wash rooms where they can clean up and make themselves presentable for the Welcome Feast. They are informed that once the feast concludes there will be an announcement on where they can seek lodging and how to begin their magic studies. B ⦿ Be Merry After they freshen up, travelers are led into the main dining hall. The decorations range from simplistic to a little more grandiose, it is likely everyone will find something familiar. A modern mash up with a medieval flair. The jester makes his rounds, perhaps he has a joke or two to tell, go ahead, give him a listen or perhaps volunteer to participate in one of the jester's shows, like knife-throwing or hypnotism. Within the crowd of staff there are mummers, a juggler, here and there dabbled through small troupes perform mini skits, perhaps they’ll perform a well known verse from a traveler’s world or tell a tale of fancy from this realm. C ⦿ Eat Well A banquet is prepared with food that while all “rustic” in appearance are usually a version of modern dishes ranging from basic roast chicken and veggies to Korean-Mexican fusion and French patisserie. The drinks are much the same; while served in old fashioned goblets, they are drinks modern travelers will be familiar with. Have a seat, meet a new neighbor, find a roommate, maybe a new or old friend? Talk to the person to your left, your right, across from you. Mingle, enjoy the food, the music, it shouldn’t be long before the information promised is provided. Till then take your fill and get to know your fellow travelers. You've been here a few days now and have gotten a chance to settle in, find a place to stay, and Camelot's citizens have decided that you've been here long enough to start living your life again. Well, your new life. A group of citizens have decided to give everyone their first quest. "Hear ye, hear ye!" a man in chain mail with a tablet with his statement typed up on it declares to a crowd from atop a pedestal. There are two other citizens around him with phones to post the video to AOL later to make sure the word gets heard ye all around. "Those with magic, we beseech thee! Findeth us a grail most holy hidden in the depths of the Brocéliande! This holy grail is known to grant thine wishes three, a most noble quest for noble souls! Great reward will come to those who find it and proclaim at least one of their wishes to find the great Excalibur for King Arthur!" This is the first you've heard about King Arthur, and it seems curious that he hasn't yet shown his face around town. It also seems strange that this guy is speaking like he's stepped out of a bad period piece, and probably should be the clue that this is more or less an attempt to haze some of the newcomers by sending them into the forest... but no one is telling newcomers this. It's better to get them out there and start praciticing, after all. A ⦿ Lost, and Lost, and Lost Again The Brocéliande is well-known around Camelot for being a forest that's both bountiful and mysterious. Oddities are known to happen that may never happen again to the point that even if something weird happens and you can't prove it, most citizens will assume you're telling the truth. Which is what makes it peculiar when you keep passing the exact same locations over and over again, as if you've been traveling in circles or reaching the end of the map in a video game and coming out the other end. You're stuck in a space loop. The only way out is to successfully find the one difference in each loop five times in a row and collect it. Maybe it's a strange frog, a crystal that wasn't there before, a small wooden step that doesn't lead anywhere, or some other singular item, you've got to find what stands out... pick the wrong item, and you'll have to start your five count over again, and again, and again... B ⦿ Grail, and Grail, and Grail Again!? If you either missed the space loop or managed to get out of it, eventually you'll come to find one of... quite a few copies of a grail with holes in the side placed throughout the forest. They look like they might be good for draining noodles, but that's about it. Though they're spread out, it's entirely possible you'll find more than one, but each of them are placed in situations where it's impossible to get to by normal means. You'll have to use magic! It may be hidden in a bird's nest at the top of the tallest tree, inside of a hole in a rock with bars that prevent you from reaching in (perhaps an animal friend could reach it), inside a boiling pond, or inside the body of a bear fir... there are a load of possibilities, and now's a chance for you to try out your brand new magics! Use one of those samples, find something from the bestiary, or come up with your own adventure to get your hands on that less-than-holy grail. C ⦿ A Quest Completeish Or it would be, if you could ever find the guy who announced it... The AOL posts have since been deleted. You may end up spending a lot of time trying to find the guy. At this point, citizens will start telling you that you shouldn't take quests unless they're on the quest board or else you're going to get scammed... that's definitely an olden times themed noodle strainer. If that doesn't make you give up, or perhaps motivates you to find the guy to kick his ass, you'll have to head out to the farmland and chase them through a cornfield. (Be careful not to get lost, it's a maize in there.) If one of the boys are caught, they'll explain they were just testing you-- and hey, you got a free addition to your kitchen! If pressed, they'll apologize and give you a bit of money for your trouble. It's not much, but it'll get you at least a meal.

Hayato Gokudera | Katekyou Hitman Reborn! | OTA

[bakudan_bambino]

Arrival

Gokudera isn't a bad swimmer, but the thing is that he'd been walking down the streets of Namimori with a bag of convenience store food to bring to his boss' house when he's suddenly plummeting into water.

It's a shock, but the not the worst he's faced. More than the water everywhere, the most startling thing to see is the long, dark creature that seems to circle him in the water. Gokudera isn't going to stay in the water long enough to investigate what it is circling him like a shark, but once he's out of the water, he's sitting down and catching his breath. The snacks he'd been carrying are safe in the plastic bags they were kept in, but the creature that'd been following him crawls right up the bank and snatches it.

"Oy!" Gokudera bends forward and snatches it back, ripping the package of some soba bread. It falls into the water and the creature starts to eat while the boy stares at it. "I... I guess it's okay... I can't eat it like that, anyways." He says softly and stares the monster over. It's long, like some misshapen crocodile with a long, skinny neck, and iridescent scales, strange paws with webbing. He's never seen anything like it in person before. Only in his studies for mystery hunting. Gokudera hears someone else get out of the water and the creature startles and is gone so quickly that he rubs his eyes.

"Wait! Come back!" Looks like he'll have to lure it out with more snacks. You can find him tossing dried squid into the water... but nothing like what he just saw comes up.

"Did you see that?!" He calls out to the nearest person who scared the creature off.

Banquet

Gokudera's sitting awfully close to you, but then... nearly everyone at the table is sat with their elbows touching. Despite the fact that he doesn't appear very well-fed, and all of the tempting food around, he doesn't make himself much of a plate. There's very little on it. It seems that being in a new world may have upset his stomach. There is a certain palor hue to his skin, a suggestion in his gaze that may make one think he's ill. He'd like to be sitting alone, but that's hard to do. Keeping his boss company is the most important task in his mind, but everything is fine.

He gets up and walks out, excusing himself from the table and waiting until he is near the exit to the hall before lighting a cigarette. They'd gotten wet earlier in the day, but aren't completely ruined. Gokudera's just looking out over all the people, keeping a distant eye on his boss and enjoying some space. Never mind the food.

Stop him? Maybe it bothers you that a sixteen year old is smoking cigarettes? Maybe... you recognize him, or think maybe he ought to eat since it looks like he really truly doesn't.

Arrival

[theskyaccepts]

[This is not the awakening that Tsuna wanted.

He knew it was going to be an uncomfortable one regardless, but falling into a giant lake of water hadn't really seemed like part of the plan. Certainly, it wasn't beyond Reborn to set something like that up, but it hardly seemed appropriate, given what they were about to run into.

The next few minutes are an adrenaline filled panic as he scrambles his way through the water to the beach, dragging himself to the shore less than gracefully. He lies there for a moment taking deep breaths and calming himself down, before dragging himself up and doing a quick check for everything.

He hears the voice and it takes a moment for everything to connect before he turns.]

Gokudera-kun?! Eh...see what?

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera's still peering around, trying to see where the creature went when he hears his boss and does a double-take at him.]

Tenth!?

[He blinks at him, then points at the water.] The creature! It... It had to have been one... It was definitely an Ogopogo! I wasn't expecting it to be so small... maybe there's more of them..

[He fumbles around in his pockets before pulling out his glasses and placing them on, squinting out over the water as if it's surface will give him some sort of clue... but it's just water. People keep falling into it out of nowhere. Gokudera turns his attention back to Tsuna and looks him over.]

Are you alright, Tenth? [He moves over to him, ready to offer a hand to steady him, or be there if he needs someone to physically lean against, or... to prostrate himself if there's something he messed up.]

[theskyaccepts]

Y-yeah, I'm okay. Somehow I made it here.

[He smiles a little ruefully at that. It doesn't seem like anyone noticed his abysmal performance in the water. If anything, he just looks tired and a little waterlogged.]

But should we be getting way from the water? You said there was a monster.

Arrival

[littlestbaskerville]

Lily had been focused on drying off and getting her soaking wet cloak off. When she heard someone yelling at her. A frown on her face she turned to face the voice her chain, Bandersnatch, let out a low growl as it moved to her side ready to protect her.

Hands on her hips she puffed up her chest, a confused look given to Gokudera. "Huh? Did I see what?"

[bakudan_bambino]

Gokudera isn't looking to cause anyone harm, just validate what he saw. When the girls turns on him with a frown, and then her familiar growls at him, he backs up. He's very much soaked through, and he points at the water, confused.

"There was... uh... It looked like a crocodile... It followed me and took some of my food." He doesn't feel comfortable complaining to a strange girl who looks angry at him. Did he do something wrong? There's no guilt or abundant hurt on his expression, but it is clearly worried. What if whatever that creature was goes after other people and tries to hurt them? He didn't get the feeling it was hunting him, but then... if it was hungry enough to steal some of his food, it could nibble at other people.

[littlestbaskerville]

She was more annoyed that she was dropped into a lake and now soaking wet. So grumpy at the situation. After he begins to talk she seemed to relax before shaking her head quickly. A hand reached out to pet Bandersnatch's head she settled the chain and it laid down next to her. Now she was interested though.

"A crocodile?" That mood shift was normal for Lily as she moved closer to the other and looked into the water. "Was it a chain?"

[imaglyphwitch]

ARRIVAL

"Okay, thanks mysterious hand!"

She should be freaking out by now, and really, a part of her was. One second ago she was snuggled into her sleeping bag wondering how she was going to get home, the next thing she knows, she is definitely NOT in the boiling Isles or home, instead she's gasping and doggy paddling her way out of the water and staring out into a strange new world.

In other words, deja vu, she was the new girl in a strange world. Again. she was scared, sure, but she's a very different Luz Noceda than the one that first stumbled into a strange new world. There was a LOT to see, and scared as she was, all of these strange new folk were new and mysterious to her. She couldn't help but want to talk to them and find out what was happening. At least, to her delight, Owlbert was with her! She was so stunned to find this out she fell off the cliff she was clambering up, and was luckily brought right back up.

"Ok, Owlbert. We can do this. Don't need to ask a million questions, no freaking out this time! It's you and me and...all these other people, brought for some strange new purpose! Yeah! We can do this, probably!"

FRESH UP

Luz didn't know about anyone else, but she sure didn't want to make a bad impression. She already had a chance to take a look at some of the people that showed up and, frankly, she probably was one of the least impressive looking of them. She could have sworn she was looking at some people straight out of an anime. There were actual animal people here. ANIMAL PEOPLE! And here she was, doofy little Luz with her cat hoodie (luckily she hadn't seen any cat people, didn't want to mistakenly insult anyone there) and they had said something about learning magic here.

"Did Eda send me here to try and get me a better education Owlbert?" She inquired of her little companion, who seemed to indicate he was as mystified as she was. "No, huh? So they're probably not lying about being brought here for missions?"

Ok then, totally making sure she was washing her hair then. No way that salt water was good settling there.

FLIM FLAMMED!

"Argh! I knew it was too good to be true!"

Ok, so she didn't know that, which was annoying, but now she was dirty, had straw sticking out of her hair, had scuffed up knees and her hands were scratched up. All she had was a little money and a noodle strainer. If you come upon the tired girl, you'll see her little familiar nuzzling her sympathetically as she grumbled about false promises and warm beans.

Freshen Up

[phoenixwiz]

Harry is not too far where Luz is standing at: he is right next to her, washing his face while his Pygmy Puff Rose is having a bath in the sink beside him. Once he finished drying up, he closes the faucet, puts his glasses back on, and picks up Rose from the sink, before drying her up with a hand towel.

“Well, it is an interesting experience so far: being transported into a new strange world,” Harry tells the young girl, “How are you doing so far?”

Re: Freshen Up

[imaglyphwitch]

That was a very good question Harry. Luz took a moment to think about it.

"Well, not wild about all the integrated tech, if I'm perfectly honest. The robot is cool, don't get me wrong, but they brought him here. This place is a cross between fantasy and technology, and its not even in the cool steampunk way? I mean, what the heck?"

She shrugged. "It could be worse though? I mean, this IS technically the second time I've been brought to a world different from my own."

[phoenixwiz]

“So you have some experience in hopping into other worlds before, huh?” he is really impressed with this one already.

Rose squeaks up happily while he fixes her fur after the towel drying left her fur to look like she has escaped from a drying machine. She then jumps up and down excitedly in joy before climbing up to Harry’s left shoulder.

“Well in my world, normal tech could get destroyed when exposed to magic, although my friend’s dad likes to mess with them out of fun and curiosity. So it is really refreshing to see technology and magic not conflicting for once if you ask me,” he sheepishly admits to her.

[donovan_deegan]

Arrival

Was the older man heading over to her wearing a bright pink shirt? Yes, yes he was. "Nice of the lake to lend us a hand. At least I think so. Water you think?" he asked.

He had a guitar hanging off his back by a broad strap and his familiar, a giant pink winged Jackalope was using its antlers as a drying rack for still more clothing. Quite a bit of it was pink.

Gah, the pink text! It hurts usss!

[imaglyphwitch]

Aw, hey, this old guy looked like fun. And he said puns! He wore pink! He had a guitar!

AWESOME.

"Hey, I like the cut of your jibe, good sir! Just taking my time and, well, adjusting! Mine telling us whooo you are?"

Owlbert just looked nonplussed. Clearly he was channeling Eda right now.

Gyah! I'm sorry!Re: Gah, the pink text! It hurts usss!

[donovan_deegan]

"I was cut out for introductions just such as this. I am Donovan Deegan," he said with a dramatic bow and flourish. "Owl spare you the presumption that you know who I am just from my name though," he added with a grin.

[souls_of_roles]

fresh Up

There was a girl also washing up where they had been led. She was in a painfully pink jumpsuit. The colour had been described by people she knew as a curse that once you see it it was burned into your retinas. The white shirt she wore under the partially open top didn't help much. Neither did the white hip pouch. On her other hip was what looked like two weighted wooden juggling clubs.

The girl finished washing her face, then looked up at the mirror, eyes determined. "Alright, Kyoko," she said, seemingly unaware that anyone else was there. "We're in the fairy world and we're here to help people. So mission number one... find Corn!" And then she started squeeing, holding onto the edge of the sink as she did a happy wiggle like a cat about to get a treat. She was... certainly an odd one.

[imaglyphwitch]

Wow. What was with pink today? It did hurt her eyes, but Luz was not the type to be bogged down by simple yet glaring details. After all, she was trying to make friends right now. To others she supposed the girl would have looked like the epitome of uncool. That was alright by her.

"Um, corn? Fairy world? You sure you're in the right place, uh, Kyoko?"

[souls_of_roles]

She jumped a mile and spun to face her, wide eyed and surprised. "You know my name! Did you read my mind?" No, Kyoko, you just think out loud. A lot. "And sure! Corn has to be here somewhere!"

Makoto Yuki | Persona 3

[eternallytired]

[1] The Caravan to Camelot

[ Needless to say, Makoto feels like he's back on the train to Iwatodai, that first night everything changed for him... Finding his music player no longer seems to function due to him having had to pull himself out of the water, he fidgets with the phone he's been given to occupy himself. ]

This place is weird... but it just kinda feels like I'm on vacation somewhere...

[ He doesn't say that to anyone in particular, just mumbles to himself. But perhaps you are sitting near him and overhear... ]

[2] Eat Well

[ Makoto is more focused on just trying to sit alone as to not be intrusive, but unfortunately in being so focused on that he inadvertently bumps into you... and spills water onto you. He panics, nearly dropping his tray. ]

Shit..!! Uh... I'll get a napkin, sorry...

[ ooc: hi I'm new to DWRP so bear with me! I'm jumping in on this cause the P3 protagonist who reserved apparently never sent an app? ]

2

[dejabrewed]

[ Sandalphon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He supposed the other didn't really pay attention to where he was going. ]

It's alright. Just make sure you don't keep your head down next time.

Re: 2

[eternallytired]

[ He's clearly a bit flustered. And this man he bumped into... he has the same sort of aloof, inhuman presence as Ryoji. Just who is he? Without even thinking... ]

Ah, okay, okay... Uh, who are you anyway? You kinda remind me of someone I know, or knew I guess?

[ Getting straight to the point there, aren't we. ]

[dejabrewed]

I thought the custom was that one needed to introduce themself first before asking names...

[ Sandalphon put a hand on his hip. He was only teasing, only indicated by the small smirk that lined his lips. ]

My name is Sandalphon. And if I remind you of someone, then I assure you it's mere coincidence.

Sakurada Miwako | Paradise Kiss

[happyberry]

𝕔𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕧𝕒𝕟 𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕣𝕤
[ A pretty young girl with pink hair in a rose-like updo has been flitting in and out of the groups of other travelers, half-nervous yet half-bubbly. She's looking surprisingly fresh in her ruffled burgundy tunic over an even rufflier poofy black skirt, wearing a cream-colored scarf speckled with little black pompoms, with matching leggings to boot... but as to boots, instead of some cute little heels, this tiny creampuff of a girl is bouncing around between crowds in black combat boots, acid-washed grey jean jacket keeping her cozy after her very soggy arrival... She'd managed to convince someone to use their magic to re-puff her petticoats, thankfully, because that was a priority. Spirited away, but still stylish. She's clearly searching for something, ducking to peek below people for a better ground-view... Occasionally, a small leaping silvery wisp of white may lace itself between your legs, but its seeker is not as quick. It doesn't help she's easily distracted by all the cool-looking people in foreign styles. Maybe as she passes by you, she offers an enthusiastic compliment on your outfit — so many different looking people, she'd wear herself down tapping strangers on the shoulder to say "I like your shoes," "I like your hair," "I like your this, I like your that..." She's bound to find something to compliment in your outfit. But she's hoping she's bound to find this elusive quick little white scoundrel, whatever it is.

When her search is clearly coming to no avail, she does get worn down (maybe for the best?), and after taking a moment to pet and thank the hard-working horses, she's pretty relieved to relax in the caravan. It's all enough to make her head spin, so once their welcoming explanation sinks in some, she figures it's better if maybe her head does spin a little. That mini-bar is a nice touch, and she dives in to find the flavored vodka, rum, something fruity right away, and plops three in her ruffly lap. She turns to whoever may be beside her, smiling and warm. ]

Would you like some, too?

[ But rather than offer one of the three in her lap, she reaches back into the mini-bar to produce a fourth for you... She's keeping those three. ]

𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕪𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕚𝕟𝕟
[ Maybe you're the lucky ducky who's found themselves sharing the room in the inn together. She's already claimed her bed, but she's clung to the video games pretty fast. She's found a simple rhythm game, some groovy dance music filling the room as she hits all the marks mostly on time with the notes. A natural. If you walk in while she's in the zone, you'll be greeted with a bright smile — but then she scrambles her focus back to the game seconds later, not wanting the distraction to make her fail the current song. She does anyway, though, and huffs childishly at the controller as she sets it back down and stands to introduce herself proper, bowing a bit. ]

Boo, I lost... Sorry, sorry. Hi, hello! We're roommates, right? It's nice to meet you, my name is Sakurada Miwako. And yours~?

𝕞𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕝 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘
[ The next morning after a restful night at the inn, much needed, she's in even more need of help with magic... She comes from a completely normal world. No magic. No powers. No spooky creatures. No heroes. No aliens. Well, not counting the famous hair stylist/makeup artist/professional genius Seiji-sama, but it's really just her theory that he's from the Glitter Planet, which in any case is obviously not... this planet. It would be better if so, she thinks. Glitter magic, what a thought~ She's kind of put out watching others practicing their magic in the training grounds, though, feeling still exceedingly normal. Nothing feels very different; in fact she quietly feels rather unexceptional — just like at home, if not even more so... She's pouting by herself off on the sidelines, huffing occasionally, resigned to observing the others after many failed attempts at what she's seen going on around her. Screaming "FIRE POWER, GO~!" didn't work the way she'd hoped it would. Her familiar has been no help, either; free from the crowds, a small white rabbit has been bounding about all morning, its fur softly glowing silver, crystal-like jade-colored eyes always seeking Miwako from across the training field, but it doesn't come to her. Just watches from afar. Is her rabbit even magic? Something doesn't seem fair... After too much ruminating on this, she turns frustrated to whoever's nearest. ]

Do you know what your special power is yet? I can't tell mine yet... What if I don't have one?

[ A sudden shocking realization hits, though, which she clearly takes very seriously as she lopes this poor stranger into her thought process. ]

...Oh, no! Do you think I could be cursed?!

Magical Morning

[deliveryhawk]

[Takao finally decided to more than try his hand as his kinetic magic, lucky for the basketball player his familiar was more cooperative. The yosuzume stays near him when it does appear and it taught him how to call for it when it is not there.

He can so far move a leaf and not much else, but now that he has braved that first moment of going from a regular basketball player who was living on a random weird alien planet to a regular basketball player in a whole other world learning magic, he's eager at least.

The feathered familiar is sitting atop raven locks, it seems to like his head or shoulder mostly, and as long as it does not sink its talons in he is fine with that.]

I think everyone got one, it's kind of the point of us being here. I can move stuff, well I can move a leaf so far. I don't think we're all that powerful yet, it's why they want us to practice. You should call your familiar, mine makes it easier to do if it's around.

[happyberry]

[ The girl eyes his bird as he speaks, a pout still painted plainly on her face. Her eyes turn back to the field before them, seeking her familiar's, and the jade-colored eyes of the rabbit find her from a distance, settled now beside a tree in the shade. She lets out a huff, and kneels down, clapping her hands together, as if calling to a dog. The rabbit doesn't come. Just scratches its ear with its foot. ]

Ehhh...! Then I don't understand! Do you see that little white bunny over there? That's Miwako's familiar. All day yesterday, the bunny acted like this, running away, playing hard to get! But all last night it was friendly, followed me into the inn, let me pet it... It even slept in Miwako's bed! This morning it let me hold it, too, but when I stepped outside, it jumped out of my arms and ran away again. Ever since then, it's been acting coy... We left around sunrise and it's been watching me all morning, just like this! Maybe it's shy?
