kuya has seen many magnificent things in the centuries he's lived. but there is nothing quite like the sight and feel and wonder that comes from the creation he steps into. the crystal funhouse they called it, part of kuya wondered just what made this place so  . . .  wondrous to behold. but it was upon stepping in that he realized, this magic  . . .  at least it had to be magic. there was no true explanation that would debunk this otherwise. the dark ballroom only found light upon the steps he took. lavender, peach, coral, colors of his soul. each step a melody rang out, he had come with the grand sorceror, that he did not forget  ;  however, the awe that took hold on him in that moment was breathtaking. they were soft, almost fragile  -  like in their chimes. part of the resonated with the fox, like he was being unveiled in a way he could not understand. they sounded almost like that of twinkling bells  :  playful, mysterious, and  . . .  disjointed. like some part of him was lost. and that befuddled the fox, no matter the steps he took, thre was always one or two steps out of tune.  "  why  . . .  ?  "  why were they out of tune, what is it? he's done nothing but step forth, so why  . . .  ? / THE CRYSTAL FUNHOUSE, WINTERFES 2023 @kleinstar

the hum that escapes him is melodic, his tail swaying. it's silly watching eiden think long and hard about what they should go on next. but  . . .  as far as eiden was concerned. the yokai had no true motive other than witnessing the other again. call it a lie, call it something else, anything else, but eiden as of now, was kuya's normal. right now, he needed something to make him feel normal. if it meant humoring mortal indulgences such as  . . .  this. then so be it. eiden was lonely after all, no? but the fox notices eiden's eyes wandering, or at least that lingering, dazed look in his eyes.  "  hm  . . .  enjoyed the view?  "  he teases, that signature grin painting his refined features.  "  luckily for you, it seems i'll be around more often.  "

"  but since we are on a venture, you may lead the way. i will  . . .  tolerate whatever choice you make. considering you've indulged in one of my choosing.  "  there's a small bounce in his step when he turns back around, heels clicking rhythmically against the ground.  "  a haunted house?  "  the idea caught his attention, as much as the others didn't enjoy the grim hauntings. kuya found delight in the antics of spectres.  "  for children, you say? hmph, to think mortal children have more courage than adults to step into a haunted house.  "

Eiden finds himself thinking he wouldn't have minded taking another spin or two but keeps it to himself. Like Kuya says the evening's far from over still and Eiden's more than happy to take back the lost time. His eyes trail Kuya's form, ears, hair, tail and all, still a little overwhelmed over his presence after all this time.

" Ah? Huh... oh yeah! " he then wakes up back to the moment.

" Talking about the park I'm guessing?

Eiden makes a pause thinking back to the park map.

"There's still the err, well, from the slower one's... carousel and boats... I guess the haunted house too but I don't know if that's really something you'd be interested in haha, plus it's for kids anyway but.... There's also the all the stall games and food of course. "

[mystiya]

"What do you think the word 'home' means to people?"

"This old traveler finds home not in places, but people. That's what counts, doesn't it?"

"Home is where the morally dubious experiments live."

"I feel at home with the people I care about."

"A soft, safe place, probably. With good food readily available."

"Nunya."

"Is home not a goal, a dream they can only ever aspire to?"

"You don't pay me enough to philosophize with you."

"Ah, duly noted."

It's the sound of clicking keys can be heard late into the soothing night amidst this conversation, a ticking clock upon the wall resounding with each shift of its hands, playing an intricate tune to the mechanical whir of their stations. Only it was hardly within this talkative room that the true spectacle was about to begin. Rather, it would be within the very world which so many have come to call their new home: Spirale, the City of Spirals itself.

"Uh. Why're you asking, anyway?"

"Oh, no reason. I just had the thought while I finished putting this little experiment together so we might gather some data on the progress of everything. That's all..."

The thought alone was a curious one regardless of the reasoning, especially when it came to the people who had spent so long, and even short, of a time kept on the island. How would they react were they to suddenly awaken back home after their abrupt removal? Would they still consider those distant, unreachable worlds their 'homes' they've always known, returning back to daily life without so much of a thought or inkling? Or would they think of this island as that newfound place where they belong to, severing themselves from all they once knew as true and reality.

Of course, that would all rely on if they even remembered once they came to...

Pleiades' lips curl into the slightest smile, some rooted wonder in just how far they've come since stepping foot within this place. Not only those they watch over like the multitude of stars in the vast galaxy, but themselves as well, too. Reaching out at long last, one click is all it takes for the peaceful city's lights to flicker out one by one, receding all into a darkness like blazing stars twinkling out one by one, until all that was left is silence.

And when their vision returned... no longer was that city before them, but the very worlds they had left behind, as if in pristine condition since they had been taken.

Welcome to Isola Radiale's 26th original event, HOMECOMING! This first post, as said on the image, is only the first half of this event in total, so we hope you're looking forward to the second half as well!

SO WHAT'S GOING ON?

As far as your characters know, everyone has been returned back to their proper worlds without a way back to the island. No communication was made prior from the Stars themselves, so perhaps they've finally released everyone back. Of course, people are welcome to be as suspicious as they like, but what's irrevocably true is you cannot return to the island no matter how hard you try.

Some characters have retained all their memories of the city itself despite being returned while others seem to have forgotten pieces, if not all, of their stay and don't have any recollection of ever leaving. It doesn't matter how long your character has been in the group on whether they remember or forget either, so that's entirely up to you! As for the characters, how they handle it is also entirely up to them on whether they think it was all a dream and carry on their every day lives like nothing, try to find a way back, or even convince others what they've experienced. Either way, what's known fully is that where they are now is the very world they were plucked from, now left to their own to decipher how to feel, what to do, and how to navigate this new turn of events.

ARE THE WORLDS FULLY INTERACTABLE?

Yup, they sure are! Your worlds would basically have everything they had in them and are as vast as you can remember. Please remember that you also can't bring in characters to a thread that are already in the group as they're currently already being played. However, if there's a character from your series that isn't on the masterlist at the time of you making a thread, you're perfectly welcome to use them in your threads as you like!

WHAT ABOUT CANON POINTS FOR THE WORLDS?

Do keep in mind that you won't be sent to your world to a past point or a future point from your taken canon, not unless you arrive with a character at that particular point itself. For an example, if Character A is from a canon point where a planet has been destroyed, you can't suddenly be at a point where that planet still exists unless Character B, who is taken from that canon point, was there. Likewise, Character B can't suddenly see that same world where the planet is destroyed without accompanying to Character A's point. Please also keep in mind that you cannot change the world's canon point you witness, so there's no suddenly moving them forward or back once you've settled on which point they'd be in with that character!

However, in terms of moving up canon points, you're welcome to use this as a seamless way to move up your character's canon point to a future one so long as it naturally and realistically occurs through those events while you're in your worlds.

CAN WE BE SENT TO OTHER WORLDS THAN OUR OWN?

You can! However, it has to be with the permission of another person in the group from that world, so you can't just have your character wind up in a place they shouldn't on a whim. It's up to you if you'd like your character to return to their world or someone else's entirely. Regardless, you can choose to have your character accidentally wind up in another world entirely than their original world if that's what you choose, even if they'd be misplaced.

COOL! CAN WE SWITCH WORLDS ONCE WE GO TO ONE?

Unfortunately in this case, you can't. At least not right now. Given the experiment going on, once you're in a world, you'll be stuck there for that time being. After all, you were sent home, right? Even if there might have been a few mistaken placements when mass sending you all there... or maybe it was all intentional from the start to have a few anomalies show up in places they shouldn't. But that's not like you'd know, would you? Don't worry, though! The second half should be a little more flexible with things, so while you can't do anything right now, there's a chance for that when the second part drops!

CAN MY CHARACTER SUDDENLY REMEMBER THEIR STAY IF THEY FORGOT INITIALLY?

It's possible, yes. It'll be difficult, kind of like an uphill climb with a bunch of boulders tied to their ankles as they make their way. Otherwise, they'll simply believe they'd never left and anyone who tries to convince them otherwise would likely be waved off or thought to be spinning some tales to them.

HOW DO POWERS WORK WITH THIS?

Everyone will have all their abilities returned to them while they're in the worlds! No more limiters, no more fake weapons. Everything is as it was from before you arrived with no hitches to be had, so have fun with that!

DO DRABBLES COUNT?

Yup! As with other events, you can make a drabble with your muse's reactions and experiences. Just remember it has to be 500+ words to count for participation, were you to take that route.

HOW LONG WILL THE EVENT RUN?

The event will run until FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH AT 11:59:59PM EST, with the second part dropping a week after its start.

[mystiya]

"  if i were at my full strength i'd definitely mock you for your severe lack of it.  "  such would be the case, kuya was a cruel being, kindness was never synonymous to the yokai's nature. rare it was to even be in the presence of a shred of consideration. that is, unless he can gain something out of it, in this situation, he could. but kuya did not feel all too joyful given the piercing pain that shoots through his vision. it shows when he flinches and presses clawed digits to his temple.  "  enough of that  -  "  he says, waving away the teasing remarks.

"  yes, my magic is nothing more than a spec in the wind. it is a wonder how i can even maintain this form. yet  . . .  it seems to be the only thing i am capable of.  "  the stars, how pathetic it was to snatch up unconsenting parties for whatever reason and strip them of their talents. their power. for kuya, his identity. power had always been the fox's driving trait, he was powerful  -  worshipped, and yet now he's nothing more than a simple fox playing human.  "  i need magic, clearly!  "

kuya is frustrated by the constant questions. if he lacked magic, wouldn't it be obvious that he needed magic to remedy his problem? his frustration probably shows as he huffs, and his tail whips, crossing his arms.  "  essence is a transactional form of vitality for us. one can do it in many ways.  "  he begins,  "  a mere handshake, hand hold, a casual embrace, or  . . .  something more.  "  his face twists into that of disgust. kuya definitely is not in the mood to elaborate more, nor was he interested in those methods.

"  your magic.  "  kuya comments,  "  i can sense you've an affinity of sorts, no?  "

𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐏𝐔𝐋𝐋      together at the middle of his forehead, his mouth fitting itself with a smile that is somewhat rueful. With the pad of his finger, Zhilan lightly pushes his spectacles back up the bridge of his nose.       ❝ Admittedly, the thought of deception hadn't crossed my mind... ❞ Self-preservation, the man had said. People often tell the scholar he lacks it. ❝ I suppose I'd rather put my trust in your character than wrongfully cast judgment on your intentions—especially if you're unwell. ❞ The beads of sweat collecting on his browline suggest this is the case. Direct confirmation comes not too long after, and here Zhilan ceases his mournful smiling, dropping it for that initial concern he'd shown.

      ❝ Essence deprivation? ❞ Though he easily understands both these words separately, he isn't sure what they entail together. Thankfully, he is provided a straightforward explanation. Zhilan ruminates on it, frowning.       ❝ I see... ❞ His gaze darts up, then. The way one would when struck with a realization. ❝ Is it because your own magic has been limited? When we first arrive on the island, most of our abilities and belongings are forcefully taken from us. It's the work of the operative force here: the Stars. ❞ He recalls how dim the connection to his Vision had felt during the first weeks he spent in the city of spirals. To someone who had a much deeper connection to their powers...       ❝ Is there no way to alleviate the effects it has on you? It would be cruel of the Stars to subject you to such pain, were that the cause. ❞

[mystiya]

it's charming to see eiden so demure about his requests when he has always been such a greedy little thing with the fox. kuya's tail thumps against the seat and he hums sweetly, though, he's already thinking of all the things his young master would try to play at next. really, the possibilities are endless.  "  how bold of you to assume such.  "  he softly states,  "  . . .  very well, then.  "  kuya relents to the other's hopes, leaning back in his seat and soon the ferris wheels slowly begins to rotating descent and the skyline becomes nothing but a hidden treasure behind the buildings surrounding them.

"  i suppose if the young master has been so lonely then it would only be sound to remedy it, no?  "  when the metal doors open carefully, kuya is the first to escape the confines and the cool breeze touching his face has him pleased.  "  now  . . .  what else is there to this place?  "  the fox turns to eiden,  "  after all, the evening is so young before you are to receive your reward  . . . ~  "

" !!

Eiden's whole body tenses up in excitement, visibly happy for the agreement. In this burst he can't quite help the mischievous laugh that leaves him either.

" Hehee.... I'll behave reaal well! "

" ...or well, maybe just as you prefer? Hehe. "

He seems to shrink just a little again as his limbs return to the loosened state.

" I did say it already....That'd I'd rather not part today again and... I thought that maybe you too... would rather not either so... "

He pauses there. It's a little bold of him to speak out for the other but right now he thinks he doesn't mind, so he figures that just maybe Kuya won't either... but even so it's a little bit embarrassing nonetheless.

" .... I'll manage hehe. "

Even so his gaze turns to Kuya as he answers, sheepish smile spreading on his face.

[mystiya]

she was a piece of work, wasn't she? kuya could on think about the way there seemed to be not a single productive thought behind those eyes, and to an extent, her actions truly revealed this to be the case. perhaps he is too harsh on his judgement, but there is a certain level of grace kuya always abides by. this girl  . . .  she lacked it in the most blatant manner. his expression morphed into a state of confusion and  . . .  questionable judgement upon receiving the  . . .  good guy title.

kuya was nothing, if not less, than what is deemed to be good.  "  mm  . . .  no, do trust me when i say i only did this out of pity.  "  he replies, such a shameless display at that when she collects the onigiri from him without hesitation. at least have the self  -  respect enough to inquire on reassurance. he huffs, and rolls his eyes, his round, gilded glasses slip down the bridge of his nose as an arm crosses over his chest.  "  you could also stand to show some decorum when being offered something.  "

This Warrior of Light has no shame with looking like a kicked pup. Eyes cast down with a forlorn look as her tail drooped in disappointment, swaying slowly. She was supposed to resemble a lizard, but for some reason, the energy she was giving out was that of a dog that didn't get their treat. His words didn't hurt her; in fact, they flew over her head as her eyes simply latched onto the onigiri in his hand.

That sad demeanor she had a minute ago completely vanished when Kuya offered the stupid Dragoon an onigiri. Her eyes brighten up, and her tail shows more of an energetic movement to it.

"You're a good guy!" A person who gives her food could not be bad. Therefore, they must be good. Such is Seiza Marebito's philosophy on food giving. "I won't forget this kindness." Or pity. Besides, Seiza wasn't going to even ask if it was alright for her to take it. She took the onigiri out of his hand without a single ounce of shame.

[mystiya]

kuya would be lying if he said he was surprised by the request. but it was just like eiden to make that tiny, most hesitant inquiry. even with that careful gaze, kuya knew there was only consideration behind that intent when eiden provides an opening to decline. after all, it wasn't like him to demand something by force. the thought of doing it for eiden wasn't distasteful, but he wonders when that time would come. perhaps tonight when they spend the night together.

"  if you behave  . . .  maybe.  "  kuya replies, his eyes still scanning the horizon as if in search of something. the clouds swirl amongst one another like the mist he had once controlled, and it could be seen in the way his gaze flickers that he traces each intricacy in their formations.  "  you do plan on staying the night, don't you?  "  the inquiry in return is teasing, his eyes even more so when he looks towards eiden once again.  "  think you can manage till then, young master?  "

" Oh? .. hehe. "

Eiden can't help a laugh a little, a little awkwardly at first but soon more confidently.

" Sounds like someone with a pretty good taste. Might be someone worth listening if you ask me!"

He glances up to Kuya a little more careful now.

" Err.... Can I see it? Sometime? " he continues with some hesitance in his voice, " I mean... not now, unless you want to of course, but like ... anytime that you'd be fine with? "

[mystiya]

well, he didn't expect someone to show care about the state kuya was in. he was far too used to pigs wanting and wanting of him. leering at him. so this was, surprisingly, a nice change of pace for once. it doesn't, however, stop the fox from looking mildly annoyed purely due to the throbbing ache in his eye; it felt like someone was prodding and prodding and prodding. so it is slightly squinted while the other is opened fully, staring at the one before him.  "  how utterly gracious of you.  "  kuya comments,  "  though, i'd question whether or not you have a shred of self - preservation.  "

he could've harmed him! if he had a reason and the means to do so, but he doesn't, not yet perhaps. but it doesn't erase the fact that this stranger really should have a shred of care for their own safety.  "  after all, not everyone is as they seem. i could've been faking and you so generously offer to aid me.  "  but the specks of sweat that dot his forehead would suggest otherwise, this pain truly was a bothersome debilitation.  "  but to satisfy your curiosity, yes, i am currently suffering from a bout of essence deprivation.  "  though, he's sure the other would have no idea what he is talking about.  "  it is magic, the lifeblood of elemental spirits. and i  . . .  "  he says softly, now opening his gemstone eye just a tad more and taps it with a clawed digits. click, click, click  -

"  am dealing with the side effects of it.  "  the frustrating part of it is that he can feel the magic coming off of this person. and truth be told, all he'd need is a simple touch and nothing more. but a prideful fox refuses to even bend the knee and request such a thing. he'd rather chew his own leg off before doing so.

𝐀 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓      cannot help its natural pull toward concern. Zhilan has stole several glances at the man with the eye-catching garb for a myriad of reasons, most of them rooted in curiosity. At first, his interest lied solely in the bauble hanging at his waist—merely an anthropologist's inquiring eye on an artifact unfamiliar to him. The second glimpse had been at his attire, which struck a chord of recognition within him. Vaguely Liyuen in style and vibrantly luxurious, the fascinated scholar had wondered whether they hailed from the same world or perhaps one similar. But with no Vision on his person, their clothing eventually deemed different enough, Zhilan had dismissed the thought entirely. The third look was not intended to be one at all, but the sound of discomfort had reigned his attention back in. And he finds it's become a prolonged stare against his better judgment; to his embarrassment, it's also been pointed out.       ❝ O- Oh, ❞ says the culprit, dumbly. His nape flushes beneath his collar as he finally pries his gaze away. The ground seems like a more preferable place to settle it for the moment. ❝ I apologize, I was staring at you, wasn't I. ❞ Bringing a fist to his mouth, Zhilan clears his throat, chancing his eyes sidelong back onto the eared man in a manner that's hopefully less impolite.

      ❝ You just looked like you were in pain. I thought you might need some help, but... As focused as I was, it seems I forgot the 'asking' part. ❞

[mystiya]

the look on eiden's face said it all, he was most definitely thinking about what he looked like as a fox. wasn't he? but of course, it wasn't something kuya would do so willingly for someone, perhaps if he asked sweetly  . . .  perhaps kuya would humor the thought of it. when eiden wraps the scarf around him once more, kuya's ears flicked as the question. always to the meat of the topic it seems.

"  of course i dislike using that form.  "  who wouldn't if they were in his shoes? to be an animal meant a whole lot of things kuya could not partake in, but also, a lot of times it meant being undermined. oftentimes, he was reduced to his looks, just because he was a beautiful and unique fox doesn't mean he wouldn't bite. 

"  but i suppose a certain human has helped me change my initial thoughts on it  . . .  "  long locks of lavender hair spill over his shoulder when kuya turns his head to look out the window once more. they were close to the top peak of the wheel.  "  i've come to be a neutral party to it.  "

" Ehh, it's just a scarf though..... " he awkwardly mumbles, " ---ah oh right.... "

He glances at the tail and the ears. He's never seen his fox form but thinking about the small, possibly purple paws... If the visible parts are already so beautiful he can't even imagine how cute the form itself might be.

" Ok fine then... " he then continues, while wrapping the scarf back on again.

" ....but you don't like using that form right...? "

[mystiya]

oh, eiden  . . .  he is far too kind for his own good. one day, maybe he will realize that. but deep down, kuya knows that if eiden took all his kindness, he would no longer be the young master that has separated himself from the looming shadow of the former grand sorcerer. far too kind, far too generous, so  . . .  human. how frustrating, the yokai will never know how to deal with these traits. it shows when he looks between the scarf that is extended towards him and eiden's gentle expression.

"  one day, someone will abuse your generosity, young master.  "  kuya voices,  "  i've no need for your scarf. if i truly needed warmth  . . .  "  he sighs,  "  i could simply revert back to my natural form for a time.  "  the thought of it was embarrassing, really, having to return to his natural, original form, a fox. he huffs just thinking about it, even though kuya has made peace with that side. it didn't erase the fact of such vulnerabilities, not even eiden has seen him in such a form.  "  humans are much worse off than we are in terms of climate.  "

despite his tone, there's a lingering smile, foreign.  "  do keep that close, hm?  "

" ....hehe. "

" I'm glad. "

Eiden looks Kuya in silence. With their return being up only of the fickle minds of their captors improving Kuya's mood was the least he could do. As happy as he was to see him, to be able to look and talk to him, Eiden understood the feeling of being torn from home.

After all the two of them would miss the same place.

He notices the slight pull of kimono and after some consideration pulls his scarf off from his own neck extending it to Kuya. He knows the guy can be prideful with these things and scarf certainly won't do much but it's better than nothing right?

" Um. If there's anything I can do... "

[mystiya]

starter call? no cap of course, it also doesn't matter if we have a ongoing thread either!

[mystiya]

it was uncommon for the yokai to be caught by surprise to the extent of speechlessness, but here they are, together, watching the sunset. it wasn't a past time kuya aimed to share often, but right now, everything was so much bigger than the fox was in this moment. all these new changes left kuya feeling small and out of place  -  a feeling he will have to somehow, begrudgingly, get used to. the silence between them was comfortable, there was no need to disturb it but  . . .  with company in mind, something should be said, no?  "  mm  . . .  "  kuya starts, as if remembering where he was, who he was with.

the fox fusses with the gilded kimono that hangs loosely around him, noting that it's getting a little colder in this pod and he speaks.  "  it's acceptable.  "  but it is clear from the pestering flush of his face that he was caught redhanded, he did enjoy the sight  . . .  "  i suppose it is a sight worth remembering.  "

Eiden gently stifles a laugh for Kuya's apparent displeasure for the workers suggestion. Naturally no complaints on his side, he too prefers Kuya's company to his own, especially after such a long time.

He's happy to watch him take the seat opposite himself, settle the gorgeous fluffy tail behind him while gazing down to the sea of lights. The silence and the surprise in the youkais eyes he takes for success. Eiden too briefly glances down but then turns back to the scenery in front of him, expectantly beaming.

" Not bad is it?"

[mystiya]

if there was one thing kuya was always a stickler for was remaining observant of his surroundings. far too many back home would think a fox all by its lonesome was a target most easy, but eventually, they came to learn that a fox of lavender and soft pink fur was the only one to not trifle with. when he hears the soft crunch of grass underfoot, he was quick to lift his head and glare  -  only to see that it was in fact a cat. somewhere deep down he feels the lingering essence of magic, could they be another? they were no yokai, of course, kuya would sense that. but in the end, all he could do was stare with mismatched eyes glittering. he could remember the old days where he would prey upon the smaller animals of the forest, well, any creature weaker and smaller than him; however, he's long abandoned such embarrassing habits. his tail sways though, as if teasingly as kuya witnesses the other back away cautiously. that, he still loved about.

Seems like Edgar got bored of just sitting around in the trees but in his short exploration, his tiny cat body jumps about a foot in the air when he unexpectedly comes across the fox in the grass. He’s not actually aware of the fact that this is a person too, just that this could be an animal that he isn’t exactly looking to provoke. His tail fluffs up, and the fur on his back bristles as he backs up a few steps, hoping he hasn’t woken them.

[mystiya]

contently, kuya is trotting around in his fox form. maintaining a human form with such little essence was tough for the yokai, while it was as natural as breathing in terms of switching between both forms. it seems the debilitating circumstances have affected him more than he assumed. so, proudly, he finds a nice little spot of soft grass and plops down with a huff. a yawn full of sharp teeth and exhausted sigh, kuya tucks his head into the fluff of his tail and begins to snooze.

[mystiya]

anyway this'll be kuya's outfit to the halloween party :100:
