I hereby apologize for disappearing on you guys. My teachers moved all their due dates around and it messed up my schedule so horribly. But since the activity check will be happening soon, I will definitely be getting to the replies I owe by Sunday this week.
Maybe we’ve spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory.
Love is the one thing that we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can’t understand it.
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

"Apologies, but this isn’t a dream. If it was I would have left it by now." He was serious, having experience with the Fade and knowing when the world in front of him was just an illusion. While the city was an artificial creation, this was no illusion.
"However, if you have any questions I can try and field them. I’ve been here for a while, and in a place like this advice goes a long way." He wasn’t hoping to use this for any personal gain. Rather, just a simple act of kindness that befit a man many saw as a hero.
Amelia laughed though she immediately regretted it. She was simply frustrated with her situation and herself for asking a question with such an obvious answer. But who could blame her? She was launched out the vicinity of a black hole and if her high school psychology class taught her anything, it was that she was quite eligible for PTSD-induced hallucinations.
"I'm sorry." she spit the words out quickly. "I wasn't--I'm just--" Queue a sigh.
"This is going to sound crazy." She took a quick glance around before continuing, "I think I've been set up. Everywhere I look there's... different people. People who speak like they're from victorian England, people who claim to have powers, people I'm not even sure are people. If you're in on all this with that so-called 'scientst' I'd appreciate a little bit of honesty and trip home."

raisedasasword replied to your post:
lmao oh man, that wouldn’t be bad. There’s a lot of people in the group who have a lot of characters, so go for it!! elizabeth swan would be so neat!!
You think? Aw man I dunno. I'm afraid of being overwhelmed but at the same time it's just so much more fun to obnoxiously fill up space on the masterlist.
transcending-timeandspace liked your post:A lot of people seemed to be happy about Daylen…
"I apologize if I’m intruding but are you new to this city? You seem rather confused." If he could be a help then he would.
Hopefully she wouldn’t mind his unusual taste in clothing; at least considered outdated where she came from.
"Confused would be an understatement." her tone was dripping with casualty but her expression read exasperated.
This city was just too much! From creatures to talking animals, from modern clothes to things she swore were taken straight out of the 15th century... she was beginning to doubt whether or not her friends and family should be her first concern.
"I don't suppose you could pinch me and wake me from this dream?"

Would it be bad to say that I already kind of want to have an additional character? I have this problem where I am very indecisive about things so I feel like having an additional character would soothe my pain.

"Nyo?" That seemed like a trick question. Certainly they had been serious, but now what was the joke? "You’re not really thinking." Yes, a great way to get on a person’s good side was to show them how wrong they were, and how right Pitou was. Never failed to cheer them up. Pitou tapped the side of their head to indicate that they just needed to think harder.
"When you use money, its gone. But if you have power, you can take what you want without giving up anything. Power is much better." An easy, succinct argument that surly nobody could stand against. The king would have been so proud to see Pitou use reasoning so well. "Hehe, so you don’t need money, you need food, see?" True, everybody had to eat, but all these humans were intent on buying it with money. That was so wasteful, it left paper all around the place. "That’s easy, there are lots of things to eat in the forest. You can eat grass, berries, people, mushrooms. The fancy food at the rest… a… restur… " Pitou poked their lips, feeling silly for having such a hard time with that word. "At the stores, that’s good too… but if you threaten them, then you don’t have to pay."
The feeling of surrealism that Amelia felt upon her arrival returned in this instant. First, scientists tell her that she's been forced to universe-jump. Then, she was told to live within some sort of district alongside... creatures. And now, she was being conditioned into a criminal?
"People?" her voice faltered. She was obviously not enjoying what she was hearing. She took a quick glance around their surroundings, preparing for the possibility of fleeing the scene.
"That's illegal. I-I think. And sick. So is threatening people." She took one step backwards. "Maybe the forest wouldn't be so bad," she spoke with increasing speed. "I'm sure it'll be easy to pick out the edible things."

"Hmmm?" Normally Pitou’s reaction to someone grabbing their hand was to lash back and sever the whatever unlucky appendage had decided to make claim on them. They were no expert at reading emotions though, not like their brother, but through physical contact, it was still easy to understand the basics of the opposing individual’s aura. This one was of desperation. Still, a low human had no right to touch a royal guard. Pitou slapped their hand away and stared at them intently.
The girl Pitou had been ordered to save said the same thing, many times, that they were nothing. Yet the king had proved that this was untrue. Pitou felt a responsibility to carry on that message. ”That’s nyot true. All humans have something, even the weakest humans can have a hidden form of strength. You just haven’t discovered yours yet.” Pitou shook their head, putting their hands on their hips and looking this woman right in the eye. “Money won’t help you with that, that stuff is just colored paper. If you want to discover your strength, then you have to find your limits and surpass them. That’ll take training.”
For a moment, Amelia's insecurity was replaced with bewilderment. She expected to be swatted away and although she hoped against it, she expected to be turned away. Instead, she received advice. Advice which she deemed inappropriate if not condescending.
"I-I'm sorry? Is this a... a joke?"
It hurt to speak due to that familiar lump she felt in her throat--the sign of oncoming tears most certainly out of frustration.
"'Just colored paper?' Colored paper buys food which in turn, supplies the body with what it needs to continue living. I'm not a soldier and I don't need a lecture in 'strength' or 'training.' I need food."

As if it couldn't get any worse. The unpleasant inconvenience of being dragged across universes and into a city of oddities aside, Amelia had just one complaint: she had not a single dollar nor credit card on her. She didn't need money on Edmunds' planet and she had no reason to suspect she'd be dragged here, wherever this truly was. As a result, she spent the entire day starving the majority of it parched (there are some places where you simply don't risk drinking unbottled water).
She had already tried numerous times to explain her situation only to be met with looks of bewilderment. Towards the later hours when panic gave her the adrenaline she needed she attempted to claim she was homeless. Unfortunately, he clothes betrayed her and many times she was regarded as a liar. And a lie it was although she wouldn't consider the hut she'd been given a home.
Not used to insecurity of poverty, Amelia grew bold once more and desperately reached out for the wrist of a passing stranger.
"I'm sorry. Do you have any money to spare? I'm so sorry but you have to believe me. I have nothing."
Arrival [Open]
There was an entire spectrum of emotions to choose from: confusion, awe, joy, anger... Of all of them, she chose distress.
It didn't take a whole lot of intelligence to read the signs. Amelia stood as still as stone, staring at the city sprawling before her with an incredulous expression plastered to her face. The paper between her hands was crumpling beneath the force of her grasp although she didn't realize this nor was she aware of how tense her body was. All of this, a reaction to this so-called "experiment" that was thrust upon her barely three days after her arrival on Edmunds' planet--a journey which she could hardly still compute. And this was no better.
This was wrong. This series of events was wrong and this experience was surreal. All of that hard work to simply be plucked from fate and dropped into a society that wasn't gasping for air? That wasn't also housing everyone she wanted so badly to save?
"This has to be a nightmare."

So I'm trying to make an open starter but I haven't actually RPed on the new format yet. Anyone willing to teach me how to insert them snazzy icons?

Following people has never been so difficult a task, haha! Anyway, I will get to my first in-character post tomorrow. It's much too late now so I'm going to set up a queue and wish you all a good day/night. See you tomorrow!
