Irrigavi straightened a bit when Obito brightened, her expression remaining one of neutrality. "Nor this many magically inclined. My own clan is filled mostly those who prefer brute strength over their magical ability, so it is a change for me to be around other witches," she said, a bit of a dismissive air about her.

Seeing the group growing in size, Aiden introduced himself once again.
"I'm Aiden the Spiral. The imperial over here is Liling, and this is..." He trailed off, waiting for the two other dragons to introduce themselves to the newcomer.
While waiting for an answer from the two other dragons, he continued.
"Should we find a place to settle down? We can take turns sleeping. It's been a long flight for all of us, and some of you look like you really need some sleep."

The air had been cold,

frigid enough to frost your scales and chill your blood.



Enthralling, and frightening at the same time.


But almost like nothing you've ever felt before,

as if the very blood in your body ceased to flow through your veins...



Everything briefly seemed to freeze.


You couldn't speak.



You couldn't breathe.




You couldn't hear anything,



aside from Takara's frantic calls.



jqyntOk.png "Oh no... Oh, no no no...

Everyone, this is it! We're in the anomaly right now!

I repeat, we are in anomaly territory!"



You had expected a warning, at the very least, but nothing this... sudden.


Not something that would cause your hands to clench, your joints to buckle,



Your wings to freeze in place.



jWMYxD0.png "We're going down! Everyone, brace for impact!

And I sure hope at least one of you knows how to swim!"



Almost immediately after Ezofuji spoke, the entire group began to plummet.


One by one, each seemed to cascade face-first into what would be the ocean's depths. Attempting to move your wings, let alone beat them once or twice seemed to be impossible.

It were as though the ocean itself were trying to pull you in like a hurricane, but not a single gust of torrential wind gave you that impression on the way there.

But here, wherever this was,


You were lulled to unconsciousness by the sound of magic.

- Day 1: Begin -




Objectives:

- See what you can learn about your current location. Where exactly are we?

- Find a safe place to rest for the night before sunset. You know, just in case something around here is dangerous after all...

- - -

This period will be much longer than the prologue, sorry if that was a bit too brief for some of you! Night 1 will begin about 48 hours from now, or until the entire area is explored. I'll be heading to bed not long after finishing up this post, so you'll see more of what that means later on! At that point, roles will be allowed usage and the mafia can vote on who they want to kill for the evening.

For anyone who missed it, aside from some friendly interactions between dragons (and some... not quite as friendly), everyone has seemingly been dragged down into the ocean after a chilling flight West of the Starfall Isles. Of course, everyone's current location doesn't quite indicate being underwater... what exactly happened between then, and now?

I won't be keeping a progress log of where the team is going, and I'll end up emptying the daily objectives as they're completed. If anyone wants to keep an adventure journal or something similar for the sake of the group, I'd be happy to place it up with the other links in the directory! believe me, i've already got plenty of google docs on hand i have to keep an eye on ahahah
