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 chilly 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. It's paralyzingly cold for a few seconds before you're approached by the Lady of the Lake beneath the water's surface. She puts a vial of a vibrant, glowing red Everwarm* potion to your character's lips. The icy water doesn't feel so icy once consumed and you'll be able to move your limbs enough to swim to shore on your own. She can't stick around to explain, she's got to get this to all the new arrivals! Many of which you'll see plopping in around you. If you can't swim, a handful of helpful ice turtles will scoop you up from beneath and drop you off at the shore. It's a fast process, as they no longer have to collect possessions and pets from drowning in the waters, so they're only needing to go around hitting the ice that keeps forming on the surface with their shells to keep the surface open for the falling arrivals. If anyone tries to ask the Lady of the Lake for directions, she will direct you to Archimedes at the Rent-a-Ride. If anyone with Animal Magic asks the turtles, they will give the full spiel, but very slowly, and they like to get off topic and gossip about other turtles you've never heard of. 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, a pair of earbuds, and a winter cloak** and tell them to "Check the Shit Box." The "Shit Box" refers to wardrobe more formally known as the Wardrobe of Finding, a hammerspace-like wardrobe that opens to each person's items and pets when the person touches the handle. It was recently enchanted by Merlin to prevent people from having to fish their waterlogged possessions and pets out of the water with them. From there, Archimedes directs everyone to settle in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and gives them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The rest of 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. For the month of February: there are complimentary chocolates placed on the pillows that make you feel warm and fuzzy when you eat them, all the rooms have been temporarily redecorated after hearing about Valentine's Day after an announcement about an upcoming Valentine's concert to be held by the off-worlders. They wanted to celebrate love too, and help the newcomers feel welcome! Unfortunately, this means that the two-person bedrooms only have one bed this month... maybe you can get a roll-away? 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. It may be a little chilly when you get out though, so make sure you don't slip rushing back indoors when you get out! 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. As the snows give way to rain and the cold persists across Avalon, it may seem as if some of the local businesses are suddenly short-staffed. A favorite spot might have shorter hours, longer wait times. Whatever it is, it seems that there are fewer Avalonians as the days go on. It is not long before there are signs posted outside local businesses and every clinic, there is an illness striking the populace and adventurers seem to be immune. While the healers can cure this malady, they are short on supplies and some of them are not easy to obtain. All are urged to take up a task and gather these ingredients. Anyone who does obtain one or more of the required ingredients will be given a Fairy-blessed Tincture of Wellbeing from one of the faeries who stayed behind after the tournament. It is said to bring healing no matter where you are when you sprinkle it on the ground in front of you. (Note: The tincture will teleport the nearest healing mage to your location. This information is not included with the tincture... surprise!) A ⦿ Ingredient One: A Can of Sprite Sprites can be found in and around Avalon, and thankfully so. The first task is to obtain a small can of magic dust from a sprite's wings. Now an adventurer may think to capture and take this by force, but be wary: sprites always travel in packs and will be so inclined to curse any would-be attackers dance till they drop, literally. Sprites are mischievous sorts with a wry sense of humor and can be quite fond a flower which grows near the Red Springs called the Cinnabar Paper Bush. Bring them a bouquet and beg for their cooperation, but be cautious of breathing in the flower's pollen-- the sprites will not warn your character that it's a potent ingredient in probability spells, so breathing it in may cause sudden repeated visions of 15 seconds of a potential future based on every choice your character could make in a particular situation. Getting out of the pollen's effects takes a full day of going through visions of parallel possibilities if there's no one to help you, and the sprites will be long gone by then. You'll need another adventurer to use their magic to get you out of this or prevent the pollen from spreading... good luck. B ⦿ Ingredient Two: Deez Nuts Within the Brocéliande there grows a certain tree. Even in winter, this tree produces tiny star shaped nuts that when ground into a powder are a key ingredient in many healing tinctures. However, the nuts are coveted by the wildlife for they taste quite sweet when eaten straight from the tree. Adventurers are tasked with entering the woods and retrieving baskets full of these tiny nuts. A warning was given to not go unarmed, those animals can be very protective of their food supply and they are rumored to be coveted by the Bear Fir, who won't hesitate to come for you. A warning to the wise: do not eat them yourself. They can be quite tempting. A tiny call will induce the desire to devour all of them, burrowing deep within your conscious. Not only would an adventurer fail their task but they would fall gravely ill for a period of two days. With these obstacles in mind, it may be best to team up and go at this task together to make sure everyone comes out alive and well. C ⦿ Ingredient Three: Wait, isn't that a Pokémon? The hills to the south-east of the Red Spring are home to the elusive Hill Trolls, who never leave their hills, but like to engage with any traveler who does come through. Most try to avoid them as they are extremely rude in every way. However, for this particular remedy, there is special bluegrass known as poliwag grass, so named because the seer who discovered this unique grass had seen the creatures it is named for in an alternate world and found them endearing. The catch? Only the Hill Trolls know now wherein the hills the small patches of this grass can be found. Adventurers are tasked with entering the hills, engaging the Trolls, and requesting a guide to the grass. Avalonians will advise doing anything the troll asks of you, it’s the only way to appease them and get the prize. Characters will be set about various household and yard chores by the Hill Trolls, who will lead them to believe that this grass will take several days journey to reach and they simply can not leave their home and yard in such a state when on a long trip like that. Make sure to complete all your tasks, though, try not to be too angry when once their yard and home are spotless the Hill Troll produces a satchel of poliwag grass straight from their cupboard. They didn’t say you had to go on the trip with them and they will need to replenish their supply after, so they're not apologizing for anything. A video is sent to everyone's devices, a strong magic spell making certain that it opens. Morganna's face appears. Morganna, after all, is to be listened to when she speaks. She seems to be looking at her nails as the recording starts, not looking at her captive audience.

”"As infamous as Arthur and Merlin are, there are many magics they are unfamiliar with. They live in the realm of basic magics, the ones you all have touched and trifled with. But there are skills you will need in the future that require something a little stronger. Now if you came to me seeking spells, I would ask a fair price, dears... but it is my universe you are all saving too, so I will offer you a taste." She finally looks directly into the screen. Despite that it's just a recording, it looks as if she's looking directly into your soul. She sees you even without you responding. Her lips curl up in a little smile, friendly and yet mischievious. "Magic is stronger when more than one person performs it. Where you would be able to toss fire, you could create a fire tornado or rip the earth until it spits the fires of hell up as lava. To perform this kind of magic, you must be entirely in sync with your partners. Of one mind, of one movement. Open the attachment and it will place a memory of how to perform Synchronic Magic with a partner into your mind. It will still take practice, of course. Baby steps."

Magic-infused technology is a hell of a thing-- those who listen after the video ends and open up the attachment will find themselves rapidly flooded with what amounts to an instructional video and a visual sample of witches moving exactly in sync. After a little finger painting on each other's face and collar bones and some deep meditation while performing the spell, the caster of the spell will have complete control over the movements of the person the spell is cast upon. For the duration of the spell, the person who the spell was cast upon will mentally reside in the caster's head outside of their body. Their body will do anything the caster's does. For this particular version of the spell to work, it requires the consent of the person it's being cast upon, though there are other forms of the spell that do not that are not. With that knowledge, get practicing. A ⦿ We Succeed Together When a goddess gives instructions to learn something, you learn it, and so some of the locals have set up meditation tents at one of Camelot City's parks. The tents are filled with incense, steam, and have a spell cast on them to provide relaxing sounds-- babbling brook, yoga music, rain on the ocean, a crackling fireplace, the cries of your enemies, the relaxing sound of change falling from your favorite plinko machine... It will respond to your emotions and find the sound that's most relaxing to you to help you clear your mind. If you trust the person you're with, the spell will go smoothly and you'll be able to perform the much simpler practice spell provided in the tent: a shadow dance. Follow the dance steps around the circle on the floor of the tent; shadows will begin dancing along the walls of the tent outside of their light source. Your shadows will be able to separate from your feet and travel without you once the dance is completed. It will return after completing whatever task you need from it. If you need some help developing your trust in the other person, try playing a game of twenty questions or partaking in some of the sparkling ginger shots in front of you-- they've got a heated kick to them that's sure to warm you up and make you fire out a secret to the person you're sharing the tent with. B ⦿ We Fail Apart If you aren't perfectly in sync with your partner to cast Synchronic Magic, all kinds of things can go wrong. People who do not trust each other may end up accidentally sealing the tents shut and trapping themselves inside until they tell each other a secret they've told no one else, thus forcing them to trust each other. People believe the exact opposite at their core could end up temporarily body swapping with their partner until they wipe off the body paint and break the spell. And of course, even if you're completely on the same page and the person controlling both bodies has two left feet, a mistake in the shadow dance could cause the shadows to enter your eyes, turning both of your vision to complete darkness until you've been in sunlight for about 15 minutes straight. I hope you weren't practicing at night. C ⦿ Loss and Gain After performing the Synchronic Magic, magicians of all kinds are going to feel a little strange. It's a magic outside of their field of expertise used to perform further magics, after all, and they've shared their essence with another person to perform it. There's a chance that characters are going to feel very alone after being separated from the synchronic magic. Alone, tired, and wanting to feel connected again even if you're normally the lone wolf type. Synchronic magic makes you feel connected to others in a way that's hard to do otherwise, and without it it leaves a sense of loss and disconnect. It's not a side-effect that was discussed ahead of time, but the citizens of Camelot have prepared for it for anyone who wishes to stick around after their spellcasting. After the magic is done, at the center of the tented area, everyone is invited to gather around a huge, prismatic bonfire taking place in the center of the park that the tents had been set up in. The bonfire is filled with flames of all colors, like a prism reflecting light and warmth, and acts as a beacon for casters' shadows to find their owners and reconnect with them. It also is enchanted to encourage affectionate feelings. This may inspire people to be more... touch-friendly than normal, wanting to hug and hold onto or simple be shoulder-to-shoulder with the people around them. These feelings can easily be fought even if they're present, but fulfilling them will help to eliminate the sense of loss from the synchronic spell ending. At the end of the night, little rainbow fireflies will begin to fly away from the flames, having been hatched within them, and fly off into the night as the flames turn to embers, and then to charcoal. It is said that if you catch a rainbow firefly, you can make a wish on it, and when let go they will take those wishes to the heavens with them. Some wishes may actually be granted, so if your character has a wish, submit it here.

[He doesn't even need to say the word for her to follow his line of thought, and her expression brightens even as she reaches for the spear she'd laid on the ground beside her, fingers closing around it on instinct. At least she'd been able to bring something familiar to this place— she doesn't need a weapon to do damage to her foes, but it still feels nice to have one.]

Instinct, hmm? Perhaps a more traditional use of the training grounds.

[Well, traditional for their sort. She's already on her way to her feet before he has the chance to respond.]

Neither of us seems to be the meditating sort, so this may suit us better.

[SPARRING.]

[areadbhoar]

A — sloth?

[ Well, that's the first time the comparison has ever been made to him, but a sloth is perhaps better than a boar. Still not exactly flattering, but he deserves it. He is not exactly making quick progress, but at least his work is consistent so far.

His brow creases as he exhales a soft sigh. ]

Are you sure? I do not mean to detain you from your own task. Perhaps I can assist you with it after the fence is complete.

[ He's sure better at beating the shit out of things instead! Anyway, yes, there's another brush sitting in the paint can, ready for use. ]

Oh no I love Ichiban so much <3 (training)

[minifilia]

Ryne's been trying to train a lot since her arrival in this strange in world. Her old powers are gone after all, replaced with new slightly unfamiliar ones. While she's getting the hang of them, there's still a lot she knows she has to learn with new gift. Plus it doesn't hurt to keep in practice with her knives as well.

But as she heads down to the training grounds, she sees someone new there... talking to the animals? That's something she hasn't witnessed yet. The girl tries to announce herself by taking some slightly louder steps.

"Is that your magic?" Ryne asks with a bright smile on her face up at him. "You being able to speak with them, that is."

[feisticuffs]

[It would seem they're both here with more of an interest in the threat of the bear firs than the ingredients they've been sent to find. Surely, nothing can go wrong there.

The offer catches Jade by surprise, and she slows her step just enough to give Gareth a curious look, eyebrow raised.]

My vanguard?

[Care to elaborate?]

[feisticuffs]

[Jade nods in agreement, meditation forgotten for the time being. Getting to know fellow new arrivals seems like a much better use of her time, if she's being honest. Meditation had been getting her nowhere, and they're all in the same unfortunate position. It would serve them well to talk.]

It's the same for me, as well. I know a number of mages, chief among them being my oldest travel companion.

['Oldest' in more than one sense of the word, she supposes. Really, she thinks of him as her grandfather, even without there being a drop of blood between them. Blood mattered little in these situations.]

I'm sure he would know how to handle this, as well. I suppose we'll have to learn to get by without them for now, hm?

[feisticuffs]

Magic has never really been my forte.

[She'll admit that much straight out— she usually leaves sorcery of any kind to her companions. She prefers handling things up close and personal whenever possible.

As for his question:]

But I have, yes. She's around here somewhere. [She pauses to look over her shoulder, scanning the surrounding area.] Taking in the sights, I think.

[fwaldawius]

How long is long?

( an opportunity seems to have risen. xiao is clearly skilled with his weapon. his reaction time? incredible. chores mean nothing now, though he's done with what he's had to do. )

How do you think you would fare against someone with a blade?

[feisticuffs]

That's a good word for it.

[There's a note of amusement in the dark-haired girl's voice, and she finds it impossible not to smirk even as she turns her attention back to the shrubbery they're meant to be investigating. 'Stupid' is nice and succinct and accurate.]

I keep thinking I'll wake up any moment and this will all have been some kind of dream.

[There are a great many things that she would never consider to be outside the realm of possibilities, but all of this is asking them to take a great deal on faith.

She drops down on one knee, lowering her eye-level to search in the process.]

So far, no such luck. Ah— here are a few!

[feisticuffs]

Something to relax and focus...

[Well, she supposes that's exactly what meditation is meant to do, but it's possible that it requires more patience than she has. She frowns for a moment, considering.]

I don't suppose they might be willing to spare one of those training dummies. It would be for a form of magic training, after all.

[Nevermind that to most people, kickboxing is not 'relaxing.']

[forgeabettertomorrow]

You and me both. Honestly, where I come from, I never even had magic. That's why I don't get all of this 'focus' training.

For me...I just sorta...let my body take over. Instead of just forcing it, I just...felt what I wanted to do and tried to let my body guide me through it. I can't do a lot yet but...I can heal some wounds with it.

I guess my desire to help someone just helped one thing lead to another.

[airbendings]

Maybe not. I'm still learning yet.

[Aang is well aware on that. And that he is just a kid. As much as all the responsibility and expectation and pressure on him might indicate otherwise someone older and more experienced and all. He gives a shrug. It isn't like he doesn't have that link to the previous Avatars to ask them for guidance. At least back home. Not that he has tried here, but. Being at peace while he was under pressure, being chased, apparently Wanted by the Fire Nation trying to capture him and all. It wasn't easy.]

[feisticuffs]

[She hates the way he manages to make her title feel like an insult, and for all the rage that threatens to well up inside of her and take over, she manages to steel herself for now, to stand her ground.

She will not let him see her flinch, see her bothered. He's not worth it.]

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't throw you out of here on your sorry, traitorous behind.

[Violence is fine, though. She doesn't mind him seeing that. Her fists tighten at her sides, and she feels her knuckles go white beneath her gloves.]

[fwaldawius]

( well, there are chairs. if the boy wanted the bed, felix could probably make do with those gaudy looking things. )

No, don't bother. ( moving over to one of the red and gold upholstered pieces of furniture, he immediately takes a seat and crosses one leg over the other. )

You don't snore, do you?

my precious idiot son

[victorytune]

The chittering from the animals stops abruptly, their eyes turning towards Ryne. It's a little bit ominous, but Ichiban almost immediately breaks the tension,

"That's what it takes to get you guys to clam up? Sheesh." He takes a very cute looking raccoon down from where it is lolling on his shoulder, instead cradling it in his arms like a baby. It blows a raspberry at him, its pink tongue extended.

"Uh, hi!" Ichi finally greets Ryne, smiling a big uninhibited grin. "Yeah, that's what it seems like. Magic isn't real where I'm from, as far as I know, but I've definitely always dreamed about it. Maybe not like this, but I'll take it!"

[fwaldawius]

What, you expect someone to carry you?

( the nerve of this guy. felix huffs, folding his arms across his chest. he's got decent enough balance to do this. )

You're not special.

1-C

[takoyakitori]

[No, no drowning. Tamaki was content to keep to himself at the spring, as he often is, but when he notices the other boy starting to tip into the water he can't just watch.

That doesn't mean he doesn't hesitate. But eventually he wades across the water and very awkwardly puts a hand on the other boy's head, passively holding him up.]

Hey.... you're going to drown.

(Not necessarily the canon point I'd go with if I app. Throwing out something decently early.)

[airbendings]

Huh? Ah, well.... We had just met Toph? Why?

[So. Yeah. Early enough in their adventures in fleeing from Zuko and the Fire Nation in trying to make progress with figuring his learning to master the other elements of bending. Aang isn't sure why that would matter. It wasn't like Zuko hadn't followed them in generally always knowing what Aang was up to, more or less. He hasn't considered that the other might know, might remember more. Hasn't figured much if anything on this place and the situation just yet exactly. He doesn't get what is up with Zuko, how he can airbend now or why he seems so worked up, his face scrunched up like that.]

[frogiveness]

[Ah. Well. Amber has found 1 frog girl. Froggy girl? Frog-like girl...to drape herself on. Tsuyu is at least a girl! And she's polite enough to blink and not shove the stranger off.]

...I like swimming...? Ribbit And I like those other things too, but not as much as that.

But I don't know about the genre.

[scension]

Bvv??

[Sagi jolts upright at the touch with a minor splash. Yea, he was close enough to drowning that his mouth was nearly in the water - he instinctively goes to wipe it with the back of his hand, getting more water on it in the process - but now he's wide awake! Crisis averted.]

Oh! Well, not any more. Thanks.

[Judging from his cheerful smile at the older boy, he clearly doesn't begrudge the interruption.]

I guess we were more tired than I thought.

[Weird pronoun choice, but okay.]

[airbendings]

Uh.....nope. I figure we'd find what we need eventually.

[He does at least have a map? He's just more used to traversing via air with Aapa than on the ground actually going through the forests and such. Aang doesn't seem too concerned about not being entirely sure on where he was going anyway. He's figured things back home so far. He could probably figure this. Probably. He's got this, Nero. Really.]

[airbendings]

Sure we can! Appa won't mind taking you for a ride later. Once we know more on where we are going and all. I just figure it's easier to stick with everyone for now. Aapa might go too fast and get lost if we lose sight of the caravans or something otherwise for now.

[Aang has no idea about witchcraft. He is well used to what it is like to be hunted and sometimes trying to hide who he is because of his abilities and potential though. Sadly. He pets Appa, giving a small smile and a nod to taking her out later.]

[angelolatry]

[Colette enjoys a good pet and seems like she would giggle at the blep, the attempted lick. But she does try to focus when the other shows her the phone. They didn't have anything like this back home so it was pretty amazing, at least to her! She shifts to sit closer, idly petting Caramel as she watches and listens to the other explain this technology. She imitates in copying turning it on and off, accessing the network and the notepad to write on.

She writes:]

My name is Colette! Colette Brunel. Thanks for this, Ochako! We didn't have anything like this back home. This will help. You're right, I can't speak. Not anymore. It's part of my journey, my becoming an Angel is all. But this is much better and easier than writing on my friend's hands back home!

[Since back home after losing her voice, that was how she communicated. Spelling out what she wanted to say on Lloyd's hand.]

[takoyakitori]

[We. Huh. Okay.]

You should probably get out. If you're falling asleep in the springs you could do it again, or get too hot and overheat.

[Honestly, he should keep this to himself, this guy probably doesn't want to hear it from him. But... well. After a moment, and now that he's certain this guy isn't going to just collapse into the water, he pulls his hand back and moves to retreat back to where he was before.]

[angelolatry]

Well, partly? Almost! I was just about to figure that Final Seal back home when I fell here. But eh? A comic book?

[She knows about books. She has been to school and all. She just hasn't necessarily been aware of the idea of comics. She tilts her head at that, curious on the idea on what Izuku means, what sort of books they might be. Still, she shakes her head at the question of Lloyd being here. Her expression still softens though. The way she always would around him even if she never told him how she felt.]

I don't think he is. I haven't seen him or any of the others I was with back home. But that's probably for the best.

[angelolatry]

I hope your friends are okay too. But I guess you're right. At least. I was just about to figure the Final Seal back home when I ended up here. When I fell.

[Which wasn't weird on its own because she was a klutz at the best of times. She did have her wings though. So she wasn't quite as bad off as most of the others in that regard to some extent. She notes the smile doesn't reach his eyes, and Colette glances to him, gaze concerned under those light blonde bangs of hers.]
