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.

[ That's the hard part right there. So she likes to think, anyway. ]
So is that what this is? One of this place's weird tests? How do you even tell?
no subject
No idea how. I mean, this thing could hatch into something awful for all we know. Or it's really just an egg. But I'm just going to assume it's some test that I can keep an egg going.
no subject
You'd make your money back on that bet, trust me.
[ Since she would win, naturally. ]
Guess it's better to assume it is some stupid test then not... I guess caring for an egg isn't too much of a hardship. You just have to keep the damn thing warm, right?
no subject
and she's assuming this chick could have a temper.]
And not break it. Which is why I did this whole purse thing. Which makes me feel like some kid pretending to be a mom.
no subject
Hm.
[ But the topic is the mysterious eggs. Sevika won't wax poetic on the rest, assuming she's even capable of doing so. ]
I figure I'll just rig something to keep it evenly heated once I pick out an apartment. Carrying it around everywhere just puts it at risk.
no subject
still, the issue right now is the whole egg thing.]
I thought about just leaving it at my place but then I remembered that's called neglect and also not good. [putting so much effort into this damn egg though is crazy.]
Purse was the best plan I could think of. [she shows how hers has cloth inside. comfortable and stays by her side.]
no subject
Eggs aren't babies. I'm sure it'll be fine.
no subject
If I start talking to it in a baby voice then we'll really have something to worry about. Until then I am playing it safe because the last thing I need on my conscience is I destroyed my universe because I couldn't manage an egg from breaking.
no subject
no subject
[she sighs.]
Like I can manage this much if nothing else.
no subject
How's yours doomed either way?
no subject
[she motions to Sevika, though, and smiles.]
No offense to you. You seem like you could do something.
no subject
Looks can be deceiving. I'm not alone from my world, either, and trust me. Whoever's calling the shots chose the exact people who won't want to work together on anything.
no subject
It feels like the cards are stacked against us, then. At least. I don't think they want us to succeed. [she shrugs.]
Just my hunch, though. What do I know about all this?
no subject
I figure your version is more likely. Throw a bunch of people together to struggle and then lose. No world-saving in the cards. Guess we'll find out...
no subject
and she assumed it was better not to be on Sevika's bad side. she could manage that much, she figured.]
Name's Maria, by the way. No idea what I'm doing here but I figure knowing people is a good a start as any.
no subject
[ She offers in return, along with a faint nod. There's no "nice to meet you," of course. Given the circumstances, it isn't. Sevika never asked to be here and neither did Maria. ]
Probably right. If this place really does do missions, you're going to want a few of them willing to team up with you.
no subject
The advice given to me was we should probably get along until we can't. Also get a gun. But I'm focusing on the easier part first.
no subject
Good advice, though I'm guessing you think the "get along" part is the easy one. Trust me, getting a gun is way simpler than getting along with other people.
[ There's a pause, and she gives Maria a cursory up-and-down look. There was no real telling if someone did or didn't know how to handle a weapon. In that vein, she hardly wanted to assume. ]
Unless you're worried about handling one?
no subject
really stupid of her honestly.
but she's trying to go along with Normal Woman vibes and in her world, it makes more sense for her to have never touched a gun before.]
I don't have a lot of experience in it, no. I think I can talk to people easier than I can do that.
no subject
Well, if you ever get ahold of one some other time, look me up. I don't mind hitting the shooting range to help another lady work on her headshots.
[ ...which is less her being kind to offer and more that she never minds having a chance to show off how good she handles weapons to other women. ]
no subject
though she's not sure what is in it for her. knowing there's someone else that can defend themselves? someone owing her a favor? Maria doesn't know for sure but well, she did just talk about making good with people while you're here so Maria won't brush the offer off.]
Well, that's nice of you. I'll take you up on it...when I get a gun. I'll add it to my shopping list.
no subject
[ Arriving here without a weapon left her feeling twitchy. She'd have to find at least a knife soon, if not a gun or better. It is peaceful here, so there's that, but she can't trust it.
But this is about the end of how conversational Sevika is feeling. She'll give Maria a nod. ]
But I'll see you when you do. [ Maybe. ] I'm heading out.
[ There's an egg to build a heater for, after all, so she turns to head off. See you around, Maria. ]
