WHAT: Newcomers, a surprise gift from Tatianna, and a visitor!
NOTES\WARNINGS:
 ⏵ arrival ⏴ Welcome to Etraya! Arrival goes as expected - characters awaken on hospital beds and are offered an explanation of their situation: that they have arrived in the city of Etraya, and they are their world's only hope. They are welcome to wander the hospital if they would like to - the upper floors are mostly empty, full of pristine hallways and numerous rooms filled with supplies, cots, and things one would expect from a relatively average 21st-century hospital. The lobby is filled to the brim with tables of freshly baked goods. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banners are taped to the walls, and several other typical birthday decorations can be found in this area. A few of the baked goods tables are lined with massive cakes covered in unlit candles, just waiting for someone to grab a lighter and sing off-key. Is it anyone's birthday? Who knows! The companion bots seem to believe it's every new arrival's birthday and will greet them as such - with friendly waves and cheers as they make their way to the lobby. A coat rack is situated by the doors leading out of the hospital, covered in warm clothing that fits the new arrivals just right - whether it's to their preferred style or not is something else entirely. Some of them appear normal enough. Others? Well. They can't all be perfect, now can they? Outside the windows, the grass is covered in a couple of inches of loosely packed snow. We hope you enjoy your stay.  ⏵ an unexpected gift ⏴ Out by the hospital stands a tall, decorated tree covered in candles and golden pinecones with a handsome, red velveteen tree skirt. In front of it are a few oversized wrapped gifts for show- and atop one of those sits a familiar woman. Or unfamiliar, if this is your first time. It's Tatianna in a slutty Santa outfit with a big ol’ burlap sack. “Hey, I got something for you,” she says, digging into the bag and rummaging for a moment. She produces a painted egg and holds it aloft. “It’s your Winter Solstice Egg! This is the egg holiday, right? Wait, shit. I’m mixing them up, aren’t I? ...Well. It’s a little late to change it. Here you go!” How one treats their egg is fully up to themselves. They can choose to ignore it entirely, or destroy it and leave the yolk and innards to rot on the ground. They can hand it over to someone else or care for it as if it were something precious. No one will prevent them from doing whatever they please with it!  ⏵ naughty or nice ⏴ Those who keep the egg and tend to it will get the benefit of being able to watch it hatch seven days after they are handed the egg. Eggs that are treated with attention and love may yield a loyal companion, or a weapon of choice that always returns to its owner, while neglected eggs may yield a curious, cursed trinket or an animal who treats its new owner very much the same way its owner had treated it before it was born. Please submit an egg request below for what items you would like your character's eggs to hatch into! Please note that these cannot be things that would be applicable in the game. Those whose eggs are destroyed or forgotten will simply get the gift of... nothing!  ⏵ free your spirit ⏴ With the winter chill gripping the air, a mysterious figure makes their presence known in Etraya - a towering, horned creature dragging a massive sack behind them. Regardless of a character's strengths or weaknesses, they will find that when Krampus raises his massive sack over their head, they are powerless to stop him from catching them. Those capable of great magical feats or other supernatural abilities will sense something... otherworldly about Krampus, but will not be able to place the source of that sensation. Once within Krampus' sack, they are welcome to fight, but escape is impossible. It will feel as if Krampus is dragging them over every rock possible, dragging the sack in through the rivers to the point it soaks through and drenches them - potentially almost drowning them. When the sack opens, they will find themselves in an impossibly dark space. Around them are others who have also been captured and dragged here by Krampus, trapped in small cages hanging from a massive, wiry tree. Krampus will return often, banging clawed hands and birch rods on the walls of the cages and knocking them into one another. The whisper resonates through the darkened area, regardless of Krampus' presence. Confess your secrets, and be freed. Otherwise? You'd better hope someone figures out where Krampus has set up base; those who refuse to confess may find themselves stuck here forever. Krampus' base is under Etraya! Deep within the catacombs, he has set up multiple cages to capture those who inhabit Etraya to punish them for their naughty habits. Fighting him is possible! Defeating him by means of combat is not, however, possible. Think of it like fighting a god: Krampus creates the rules in the space around him, including who can use what ability.

rescue time!!!
Luckily! Gege is a hunting dog! It might take a few hours, but following Ouyang Duyu's scent, he does eventually manage to find his way into this strange underground area with cages and stuff in it, wielding an umbrella instead of a sword, and with sticks and dirt sticking out of his hair.]
Wuyou! Are you okay?
no subject
[He says it before he's like hold on.
He sits up from where he was leaning against the cage, scrambling so he's at the front.]
Chu Wenshan? [Somehow, no matter how dire a situation was somehow when Chu Wenshan was there he couldn't help but feel reassured. He used to not want to acknowledge it but well. He has no reason to hate Chu Wenshan now, apparently.] What are you holding?
no subject
[Chu Wenshan comes over to stand somewhere under Ouyang Duyu's cage, looking up at him as he tries to figure out how to get him down from there.
There's a short pause as he looks down at the object in his hand, then back up again.] An umbrella.
no subject
Didn't I leave your sword with my shifu for safe keeping? [Shouldn't it have been with you when you came? Is what he really wanted to ask.]
no subject
He gave it to me. I didn't have it on me when I came here though. [Extremely inconvenient timing... anyway he's gonna jump onto a nearby cage and try to swing over?]
no subject
[Sometimes, he watches Chu Wenshan move and fight and he can't help but feel envious. If it were Chu Wenshan he probably would have gotten out of that stupid sack.
And Ouyang Duyu probably wouldn't have been able to make that jump.
He wonders if that would be enough a confession to get him out of here? Ah, but he still remembers Chu Wenshan's expression when he shouted that he hated him. Ouyang Duyu decided to just trust in Chu Wenshan's brute strength after all.]
The lock looks like the weak spot. [Because he had done a bit of investigating earlier. He hasn't forgotten that, according to Chu Wenshan, a human couldn't bend metal bars.]
no subject
[Ouyang Duyu could be envious, or he could tell himself that Chu Wenshan looks like a monkey the way he's hanging off that cage right now. Goofy! Or possibly ominous! Depends on your opinion of monkeys.
Anyway, Chu Wenshan nods (which might be hard to tell when he's hanging from a swinging cage), carefully timing it before...throwing his umbrella at the lock.
The umbrella may break, but so will the lock!]
no subject
He jumps a little when the umbrella bangs against the cage but then it shatters and so does the lock. Humans can't bend metal but they can do that...?
He takes a breath in then tries to get back up. Should he grab his cloak? It's wet, dead weight right now and it's filthy but he doesn't want to get a new one either. He sways a little and has to hold the bars behind him to help get him stand.]
no subject
Chu Wenshan watches his brother for a moment before jumping back to the ground and holding out his arms. Jump! Or fall! Either way he'll catch you!]
no subject
For a moment, he wasn't sure what this was about.
His grip tightened on the bars.]
...what are you doing?
no subject
[He motions with his arms just to emphasize this. Come on! He's ready! No worries!!]
no subject
no subject
no subject
He just...didn't expect for there to be an offer to catch him.]
no subject
[Holding his arms out again! Come on! He's ready!! No worries!!!]
no subject
So he decides not to argue more. It was strange. When Chu Wenshan showed up he couldn't help but feel reassured...and yet the idea of jumping with only Chu Wenshan to catch him seemed like too much trust to give to someone else.
He breathed in, leaning against the bars for a moment.][and then he lets go of the bar and steps off.]
no subject
As precarious as Ouyang Duyu's position may be in that swinging open cage, Chu Wenshan's one great strength is that he's really good at anything physical; when his brother drops down, he's immediately there to catch him in a perfect princess carry!
And then not put him down. He's just immediately turning to head for the exit...]
no subject
But Chu Wenshan does catch him and, well. He holds his wet cloak closer to himself.
He waits to be let down and, uh.]
...I can walk.
no subject
Gently putting him down...]
Let's go.
no subject
Right. [He is shivering a lot still but he'd doing his best to pretend he wasn't cold. He is still clutching onto Chu Wenshan's arm with the one not holding his cloak.]
Let's get out of here before that weird thing comes back.
[But where is the exit?]
no subject
This way. We'll follow the path I came in through.
[Which might potentially be a difficult path for some people, but.]
no subject
[The path is definitely difficult. It might not have been normally but right now Ouyang Duyu is cold and miserable and aching where he's bruised. He's also running a low-grade fever. Is he going to say anything though? Absolutely not! Not even when he stumbles and only keeps himself upright because he's holding onto Chu Wenshan.]
no subject
But he's pretty strong in everything else, and everything else is telling him that Ouyang Duyu is absolutely not in great condition right now. So he keeps walking in silence for a bit, but once Ouyang Duyu stumbles there's going to be a pause, after which Chu Wenshan swiftly scoops him back into a princess carry again.]
Let's get you somewhere warm before your kidnapper comes back.
[Onward!!!]
no subject
I--why are you carrying me?
no subject
[Wait, "you're too slow" would be the wrong thing to say, right? Uhhh]
—you're cold.
