Day 9: Morning
Morning: 6:00am - 12:00noon
[ IRL Timeframe: June 14th - Onward, 2020 ]When your characters check their phones, clocks, calendars, or any other timekeeping implement they'll find that the year is 00 AW, forty years before the present day. The year before the Wizard's first game was held, the year before it came down to only two knights and the Princess facing off against the Wizard. It was before all of it.
Everywhere your characters go, there are no people. Their devices will not connect to the internet outside of the island, their companions will not appear, the Wizard and Monsters will not answer, but they can text each other without difficulty.
Outside, the heroes will not be greeted with the sight of the sky from Day 3. The sky lacks the massive vortex over the center of the mountain. Honestly, it all looks fairly serene. The only thing that seems amiss is the rumbling of the ground, the constant feeling of an ongoing earthquake. There are no fractures in the ground yet, though, no splintering of the planet.
Because nothing has happened yet.
The Weather
- Stillness.
- 48°F
- No wind.
Prompts:
- 6:00am The Arrival, All Cities: Gyre, Olivia, and Luka arrive flat on the ground. They wake on their backs, facing up to the stars, just outside of something that has never been on the island ever before.
They're at the top of the mountain, right beside where the mysterious doors were in the current day. But right now there's a wide-open metallic stairwell. It looks unnatural, like someone copy-pasted it into place. From beneath, there's a blue glow and steam rising up from below.
Guess it's time to wake up, make a plan, and walk downstairs?- ?:00am, Unknown Location: This post will consist of one single long thread that progresses through the plot for this post. As discoveries are made, additional information will be uncovered.
Procedure:
Reply to the appropriate toplevel comments for events below. Indicate if a post is a private conversation with "Private" in the subject otherwise all threads should be open to interaction with others. Plan OOCly how you'd like to toss everyone around.

"We are!" He beams confidently. Sure, Gyre has expressed a much less certain response only seconds ago - but Luka's sure their presence here would account for some kind of influence. "Or, well, maybe we've always been here?"
Right? Maybe they were completing some kind of necessary time loop. Maybe this won't change anything at all? He puts a hand to his temple in frustration as he tries to make sense of all of the time shenanigans, but gives up shortly.
"Whatever." Luka sighs, waving a hand dismissively. Thinking about that too much was bound to lead nowhere productive. "Either way, you need to believe what we're saying."
no subject
"You can't know what you know." They repeat, unmoving, their eyes shifting between Gyre, Luka, and the crystal. They turn slightly, waving a hand towards the door. It glows for a moment before slowly creaking shut. A moment later, there's a soft blue glow in the whole room as the whole area appears to get filled with magic. The air crackles, too, heavy with whatever the Wizard is up to.
"Keep this discussion a secret. Your words have been heard." They decide to say. They have no idea what they're going to do with this information, but they can't risk this cat getting out of the bag before they know what to do with it.
no subject
His attention returns to them a moment later, and he asks, with the faintest touch of hope in his voice, "So you'll stop gathering the crystals up?"
