![]() 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

Naoto Kurogane | Blazblue
[ Naoto sighed, thinking over all the information he's received upon arriving at the Rent-A-Ride. Time was frozen, he had to learn magic, and this little kitsune was now bound to him. He didn't mind a lot of this, but the matter of the fact remains-- if his powers are gone, why did his right arm stay? Not to mention it felt a lot more like flesh and bone than it did liquid.
While he was thinking of these questions, he started mumbling to himself. ]
This place is weirder than weird... I'll have to check my prosthetics later.
Control your hunger, you! [Eat Well]
[ The amount of food displayed in front of him made his mouth water. There was so much to try that his meager high school budget could never afford, and this might as well be the only chances for him to try it! He's just so happy to see everything there and available, but there was only one thing with a bigger appetite than him, and that was his kitsune familiar.
So there he was, holding it back by its tiny waist and hoping it didn't destroy anything. ]
Calm down already, this food isn't going anywhere! [ He hoped someone came to help him. Maybe the little guy was just trying to act on his own desires to gorge himself. Who knows. ]
Who's idea was this?! [Grail, Grail, and Grail again!]
[ Both him and his familiar were more than pissed off. Having three grails meant that he knew that this quest was a joke. Luckily his water magic worked exactly like his blood, which saved him a lot of headache in getting them (who decided shoving one in a bird's nest was a good idea?! Those things pecked!), but he just wanted to be done with it.
His familiar let out a sound of what sounded like indignation, which Naoto nodded sagely, as if understanding. ] Me too. These damn cups isn't that holy grail the guy was talking about. Does that thing even exist?!
[ He turns around to see someone right behind him, causing him to blink. ] Oh. Didn't see you there.
Eat Well~
Which works out, actually, since he goes to grab it around its little face, probably helping to stop the gorging for a little while at least.]
Uwaaah! You have such cute little ears!!
[Guess he's not even gonna say hi to the person that's here, okay.]
no subject
The kitsune, on the other hand was enjoying the attention. So much so that it had forgotten all about the food in front of it. It even slacked in Naoto's hands, chittering away happily. ]
... At least I know how to control it now. [ He mumbles to himself. ]
no subject
Hello~!
[At least he's acknowledging the person in the area now!]
I think your friend here is suuuuper cute! He's got such cute triangle ears~~
[A thought flits across his face with a soft gasp.]
Ah!! I'm Misumi, by the way!
no subject
Yeah, the little guy's adorable. Problem is is that he's trying to eat everything on the table.
[ He nods, smiling. ] I'm Naoto. Nice to meet you, Misumi.
no subject
Oh noooo, you'll explode if you eat that much!
[He directs that comment at the kitsune before beaming back at Naoto.]
It's nice to meet you too, Naoto! I don't think I've ever met so many new people at once before~~ It's really exciting!
to new adventure also omg naoto blazblue :o
You can go ahead and do it now. Should I close my eyes? Or do you need some privacy?
[ That's one way to break the ice. ]
"naoto blazblue" omg im losing it
He shook away his surprise. No need to deny the opportunity. ] As long as you're not too freaked out by the fact, then I suppose it's fine.
[ And off he goes, undoing the latch to his sleeve and checking his left arm. It looked normal, but it didn't hurt doing a deeper dive into it. ]
happy to see someone rp from bb \o/
[ Maybe it's better to tag along to see if this guy really is okay—Akira takes the seat in front of him, his familiar Cat Sidhe finding a spot nearby. ]
As long as you don't mind showing off so much skin.
[ He's...not being entirely serious, of course. ]
it's so rare i have to....
... Right, skin.
[ Naoto sighs. He wished he had skin to show. ]
