Roleplay

It had felt like minutes, hours, or perhaps even days since the last time you opened your eyes. You had been encased in darkness, blindness, for all too long. Time had whisked by, and you can’t remember a single moment of what had occurred within its thin boundaries. The last thing you remember before being exposed to the void was a striking flash of white. You cannot recall how you arrived here. Wherever ‘here’ was, that is. The walls are rippled and vibrant with color, made entirely of carefully crafted patterns of glass. Light seeps between the cracks and through the stained glass itself, giving the room an ethereal glow. The shapes on the wall are far too intricate to comprehend, and staring at them directly only serves to make your head spin. There are many busts situated throughout the ends of the room, some of which make your stomach turn. Something about them seems familiar, but you can’t quite put a finger on the cause. Streams of water drain from the statues’ eyes, almost as though the busts were fueling the indoor ponds beneath them. The peculiar, glowing fish that swum within must not care where their water comes from. But really . . . Stained glass walls? Indoor canals? Personalized busts? Whoever was the owner of this place must have more money than they could count. Regardless of where you looked, the room managed to amaze you further. The ceiling appeared endless, a highly convincing mural of a cloudy sky painted throughout. If you had the strength to fly, you were sure that flying skyward without meeting any borders was possible. The floor is as dark as the night sky, littered with sparkling stars and the occasional comet. Taking a step from where you stand almost seems fatal, as though you could fall into forever. If you had to take a guess as to where you were, you would answer ‘Heaven.’ All that meets your ears is the gentle sound of rushing water, accompanied by a delicate piano melody. The song is hushed behind closed doors, the only indication of an exit from the room you stand in. It beckons for you to approach the doors and whisk them open, a mere twenty feet away. A simple turn of the head reveals a dead end behind you, so the only course of option appears to be forward. The music grows louder with each step you take, almost as though the tune is responding to your movement. Your footsteps are loud, irregular, piercing the silence that the room was made to maintain. It fills you with a feeling of dread, but curiosity overwhelms you. You lick your lips with anticipation, grasping the golden handles set before you. The doors are pulled open, and a fleeting vision of stars intercepts your vision. The new room seems similar in nature to the last, aside from a peculiar structure in the back. An immense assortment of bottles and glasses lines the rack behind an elongated table. Several blue-cushioned stools invite you to take a seat. Was this . . . a bar? It seemed out of place, but you weren’t really in the station to ask questions. Even so, it appeared that there was someone present who could provide answers. On the other end of the counter stands a nocturne. The eye-burning pink of his scales makes you wonder why he wasn’t the first thing to cross your vision, but there he was. His purple eyes are half-lidded, peeking through his glasses at his current task. A large deck of black and white cards shuffle between his claws. His eyes refuse to meet yours, but he seems to acknowledge your presence nonetheless.

You must be our newest guest.” His deck of cards meets the bar counter with a quiet thud. [img]http://i.gyazo.com/5ac2489831f58adc847977e9a8087710.png[/img] "I welcome you... To Elysium." [/center]
