![]() Premise ⚔️️ Rules ⚔️️ FAQ ⚔️️ Taken ⚔️️ Reserves ⚔️️ Apply ⚔️️ Locations ⚔️️ Bestiary ![]() A ⦿ Soaking in Your Arrival
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
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, ![]() C ⦿ The Red Spring
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
B ⦿ Be Merry
C ⦿ Eat Well
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
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!?
C ⦿ A Quest Completeish

"Oh, it looks like Nigou wants to say hello." The little dog was set on the ground where he scampered over to Samatoki's leg and put up his paws politely, tail wagging. "I am however glad you are okay."
Amon was more interested in the roll in Samatoki's hand, even sniffing at it with his flaming snout. He really wanted the roll.
no subject
All the damn thing does is stare and apparently try to choke him with bread.
"Tch.." He scoffs, but he also goes into a squat and gives the dog a scratch on his ears, nothing too enthusiastic and he holds the position because it's a normal and comfortable one for him, nose to nose now even with the hellhound he just gives the creature his roll, not like he wanted it anyway.
"The hell kind of name is Nigou?"
no subject
Nigou just barked happily and licked his hand, though refraining from the outgoing theatrics most dogs tended to. Amon on the other hand, almost delicately took the bun out of Samatoki's hand, all of his 6 eyes blinking before absolutely devouring it. "My team named him. His full name is Tetsuya #2, because he apparently looks like me."
Indeed, their big blue eyes shared a striking similarity if Samatoki bothered to look closely enough. "He says you're very nice."
no subject
That the dog did not get jumpy is a plus point, when it licks his hand the yakuza pulls it back and fixes him with a stare from those red eyes. "None of that shit." He is not a bone, go chew on his familiar, it's nothing but bone. Only, no don't really chew on it little pup. The yakuza looks between the boy and the dog, then lets out a sharp bark of laughter "Ain't that some shit."
"He's full of shit and so are you." He is not nice, okay maybe sometimes he is, but he absolutely is not right now.
no subject
"Well, you greeted Nigou properly for one. I also trust his opinion." He knew what tsunderes were like, though Midorima was decidedly less violent about it. Now Amon was looking for more snacks, and he was looking for them in Samatoki's hands. Kuroko grabbed up the pup, however, before the man decided differently and kicked the poor animal away. Some people just didn't like dog slobber, he guessed.
no subject
"He's a damn puppy, I gave him some attention, for all ya know I could be usin' the dog to make ya relax. Don't be so damn naive brat." The thing is, the kid isn't really a brat, he has been completely polite, Samatoki is just not entirely sure what to say or do here. He doesn't exactly make it a habit of chatting up random strangers.
no subject
no subject
"Samatoki Aohitsugi and he's shit out of luck, I didn't take anythin' but the damn roll that rickety pile of bones tried to choke me with." The man reaches in his pocket, pulling out the pack of smokes and making a glance toward the door, looks like he intends to just walk away and head outside without much more to be said less the kid has something to say.
no subject
no subject
"Might be, but it ain't what's gonna take me out kid, trust me, plus, safer for the fuckwits around me if I don't give up the habit now."
no subject
And was still following him.
no subject
"Got two people here that might count like that, and one of 'em smokes as much as I do, the other, he ain't gonna make me stop." Though he can assume, Riou probably wouldn't mind if they did.
Despite the warning, he is lighting up once he is outside, hand sliding into his pocket after as he takes a minute and just looks up to the sky
"Why you so worried about some guy ya don't even know, huh?"
