Fantasy Oblivion: Gone but not forgotten

"Thank you." Alexis smiled back, she's glad that none of them think that she's weird or something. "So does that mean we are having a sleepover at your house? Can someone tell me what exactly are we going to do? Attending another John Doe's concert?"


[guys we should no drag the interaction for too long let's move over to whatever we are going to do next]

"Yeah. Maybe that'll bring something to light." As the prankster grabs the bill and such, Nora lets out a low yawn - her hand covering it. "Give me your cell phone numbers and I'll send you the address." With a deadpan expression, Nora whips her hand to the right - a folding, older model phone flipping out. A few clicks, and she'd wait for the two's email or phone number, staring them down. "So?" If the exchange went smoothly and there were no issues, Nora would shortly after give a half-hearted wave before stepping out of the restaurant, heading home.

[THE NEXT DAY.... @ShyEra @Zer0


ps: I am busy with HW, please continue without me. Will return ASAP]

-Nora Shimuya-

​

The Shimuya household was extravagant to say the least; a silver-spoon background was more than evident, as well as the fact that Nora's family was relatively wealthy. A three story building with a pearly white cover, and a stone wall with a small iron gate that guarded it. Sizable garden ... the Shimuya's were well ahead in life. Outside it, Nora was outside in simple jeans and a blue, unbuttoned blouse. She was leaning against one of the pillars that supported the, about 1 meter tall, iron gate, awaiting the other two. Her usual deadpan expression seemed to have a subtle sourness to it - as if though she did not want to be where she was. Arms were lightly crossed under her chest in anticipation as she stared straight ahead.

Man, that hallucination Friday was weird. Enoch still felt pretty badass slaughtering demons and shooting fireballs, first on a huge wall, then a magnificent hall. Hey, he just made a rhyme! Good thing that white light saved him before those shadow things got him. He wished he was that muscular in real life, but he was still pretty awesome here. Where was he when that hallucination happened? Oh yeah, at John Doe's concert. He heard that the soccer coach was eaten up, but he didn't see that. He felt kinda crazy for talking to himself for this long. Maybe he should see his psychiatrist. Sitting down near some 3-story house (Nora's), he took out his laptop and after tethering his phone he typed into the search box "Hallucinations about a white castle", and as he normally did, he said what he typed. Ignoring the results about the fast food restaurant, he found info about a group hallucination including him and a couple other kids with the names of Nora, Alexis, Carlsle, and Lulah. The hallucinations happened at the same time, during the concert, and apparently one of the coaches was swallowed up by the earth. He didn't see that, but it did happen. This was some Illuminati shit right here. Maybe he should confess his sins to a priest and all this would go away. He closed his laptop and walked back toward his house, praying to God that he didn't have anymore hallucinations.

A taxi stopped in front of the Shimuya house. Carlylse stepped out hitching up his backpack and waved at Nora, smiling. "Good morning, boxing captain." he said cheerfully as the taxi drove away. He was carrying a red box of full of small cakes. "A present for you and your family." he offered the box.

It's not hard to find Nora's house from the bus stop. Her house has three floors, as if two is not more than enough. There's a stone wall with an iron gate, making her home looked like a castle. She thought that there's even a guard in front of the iron gate, but turns out it's just Nora. A white haired boy, Carl, arrived first with a red box filled with what would be their midnight snacks. Yikes, hopefully she won't get fat.


"H-Hello." She greeted.

 

[Zer0]

"Hi, Alexis!" said Carlylse. He looked over her shoulder and saw one of the students he had researched earlier who had the same hallucination last week walking away.


"Hey, guy!" called Carlylse, jogging up to him. "Name's Carlylsle, by any chance did you have a strange vision during John Doe's concert during the festival?"


@Masked Imperial

 

[yoikes]

[OOOHHH NICE MOVE THERE @Zer0 ]

 

[ShyEra]

-Nora Shimuya-

​

A low mumble was given in the white-haired boys direction. "I have a name, y'know." Her gaze averted temporarily before she accepted the cakes. Shortly after she'd give a light nod towards Alexis. "Hallo'. Excited?" She cracked a subtle smile, but it disappeared as Carlylse shouted out in someone's general direction. "Oi' ... what are you up to?"


@too much idea @Zer0

 

[Zer0]

"He's one of us!" yelled Carlysle. "You two just go ahead and start, I'll catch up!"


@ShyEra

 

[Masked Imperial]

Enoch turns around. "I take it that you are Carlysle? My name is Enoch. Nice to meet you. And yes, I did have a hallucination, it was about a white castle being sieged." He looked kinda strange looking, that white haired boy, but at least he wouldn't have to see his psychiatrist, for now.


@Zer0

 

[Zer0]

"Good!" said Carlysle. He looked back at Nora and wondered if she would punch him if he asked her if this stranger can join them.


"Me and those two ladies over there had a vision of the castle too." he said jabbing his thumb at their direction. He paused for a moment. "By any chance are you free today, Enoch?-and also," Carlysle looked back at the girls and shouted, "Nora, would it be alright if he came with us?"


@Masked Imperial , @ShyEra

 

[Masked Imperial]

"I have no plans, so yeah! I'm free today." Enoch looks over to the girls and yells "Hello! It's nice to meet you! My name is Enoch! Would you mind if I joined your little group? It's nice to find somebody who has the same hallucinations, with all this Illuminati crap going on right now!"


@Zer0 @ShyEra

 

[yoikes]

"H-hello." Alexis greeted back, surprised how the boy easily blend into their group and how fast he accepted Carl's invitation. Hallucinations. Aliens. And then now Illuminati. What's next, Satanists?


@ShyEra @Zer0 @Masked Imperial

-Nora Shimuya-

Eyes attempted to pierce Enoch like daggers - perhaps not the most friendly mannerism. But shortly after, she returned to her relatively deadpan expression. "I'm Nora." She echoes together with Alexis as introductions are made. "And yeah, sure, come along." She'd flick out her keys a few moments later. "...I would rather have us staying at my Uncles', but his attitude may be troublesome." Within a few moments, she'd have the iron gate opened and proceeded to invite everyone in. A short walk way later, she'd open the front door.

The interior was relatively modern - a step above traditional housing, and rather pretty. Clean to the boot as well. Only a few steps in stood a tall, slender man with glasses and styled, short, dirt blonde hair. Simple jeans and a formal shirt accompanied. He didn't look much older than Nora. "Oh? You've brought people over for once? Do you want me to prep some tea or something?" Despite his words being kind, he seemed to have the same deadpan expression as Nora - and she responded after a short delay. "We'll manage. Also-..." She looked back at the group. "This is my brother, Zaku." At the introduction, the man gives a half-hearted wave. "I''ll leave you to it then." He'd stay and watch the group as Nora guided them up the stairs nonchalantly.

Moments later, they'd step into Nora's room. It was very organized and clean - yet empty for its size. A single bed in the corner, a small glass table in the center with small seats and finally a large bench at the opposite side adorned with surprisingly cute stuffed animals, shoes, accessories, pictures and other things that seemed to contrast with Nora's personality. A door at the far end next to a large open window hid clothes. Whilst the windows could be slid open, there was no terrace - only a small barrier to prevent someone from falling from the second floor. Nora would take a seat by the table on one of the many pink pillows, averting her gaze. "So - what was the plan again?"

​

@Zer0 @too much idea @Masked Imperial

 

[Zer0]

"I'm Carlysle Sandell, nice to meet you, Zaku." said Carlysle, shaking Zaku's hand firmly. "We're Nora's schoolmates."


When Carlysle was in Nora's room, he dropped his backpack near the bench and leaned down then poked the cute stuffed animals. "Nora . . . you are a girl inside, aren't you?" he chuckled, gazing all around the room surprised.


@ShyEra

 

[Masked Imperial]

"Nice to meet you Zaku. Y'know, if you switched u and the a, you would have Zuka, and if you replaced the a with an o, you would have Zuko! From Avatar if you didn't know. " He shakes hands with Zaku and he enters Nora's room.

 

[yoikes]

Wait what the boys are going to sleep in the same room as she is? For real? Should she speak up? She should, her parents would be angry if they find out about this. But she cannot say it, she's just a guest in Nora's house and everyone doesn't really mind about that. Nothing will happen, they are just going to talk about this Oblivion place and then sleep before all of them know it.


"S-Should we start talking about... about... that place?"


@Zer0 @Masked Imperial @ShyEra

 

[Zer0]

"Right." said Carlysle, he pulled out his laptop and two pairs of fluffy headphones which he offered to Alexis and Enoch.


"I downloaded the song John Doe played during the school festival." He clicked something and a media player popped open in his desktop. He plugged in an adaptor for multiple listening devices. "We can listen to his song again in full blast and see if it'll trigger something."

-Nora Shimuya-

Zaku was seemingly impressed by the handshake, and returned it professionally - sending a light chuckle towards Enoch before allowing them to go upstairs "Pleasure to meet you all."

When in the room, Nora scoffed lightly and averted her gaze at Carlylse's comment. "It's not that bad ..." She mumbled under her breath. She'd then give a short nod. "To be fair, we haven't heard about what type of hallucination our new friend here had." Her eyes pierced Enoch."But after that, go ahead and play it or talk about it like Alexis suggested - see how it goes."​

@Zero0 @Masked Imperial @too much idea

 

[yoikes]

[You guys decide whether the music triggered something again, i'll go with the flow. When we all went to sleep, we are going to dream of the days we used to talk in Oblivion's garden before suddenly shifted to chaotic throne room with ongoing battle outside (aka chance to RP as our Oblivion counterpart!)]

 

[Zer0]

Carlysle jammed his earphones on and played the music, but nothing happened. He played it louder and louder for many minutes, but still nothing happened.


"You guys just talk about it," said Carlysle, disappointed. "I'll keep trying this-oh, and here's some cakes for everyone." he placed the red box of small cakes in the middle, helped himself to one and then busied himself with an audio program and John Doe's songs for the next two hours.

 

[yoikes]

Alexis felt like she can go and sing any John Doe song without checking the lyrics now. Carl played it on and on and on until she memorized all of them. She did not eat the cake, not good for a midnight snack. She went to the bathroom, changed into her nightwear and then throw herself down in the bed prepared for her.


"Good night, everyone." She said, pulling the cover up to her neck and closes her eyes. Before she knows it, she's asleep.


--


Alexis woke up in a place that she did not know. It was a room with walls made of stone and floors made of thick brown wood. Her bed changed into layers of fur, the bedcover changed into a big and thick fur. Buffalo? She did not exactly know what. Sun shines through the window next to her bed, she peeks out and see the most beautiful place she had ever been. The town is not exactly huge, there's the huge white city wall built to protect the city from whoever want to attack this place. There's also a long, white and tall wall that stand horizontally from far left to far right.


She stood up, and realized that there's something different. It feels like it's not her, but at the same time she know it's her. The vision in her left eye is a little bit off, it's blurry and she almost unable to see anything.


She looks around her room. It is big, not really big but enough. There's two wooden rack filled with books, and another rack filled with weapons and armors. Before she could touch it, there's a knock in the door.


"Excuse me, Advisor, but The Queen has requested you to come to the dining room to join her for breakfast." The voice said. The Queen? Alexis's jaw hung open, but she could hear herself answered with a firm "Yes, i will be there in a moment."


She sounds... stronger? Maturer? She don't know.


Before she knows it, her body moved on it's own. She approached the rack filled with equipment, taking a belt that she wear around her waist and then clipping a sheathed sword to it. It felt heavy, but somehow she feel like she could swing it with one hand easily. Her hands then moved to a black eyepatch, made out of leather, and uses it to cover her left eye. So there is something wrong with her left eye.


Still puzzled with who she are and where is this, Alexis decided not to do anything and observe.


A minute later, 'she' walked out her chamber and toward the dining room. Maybe she will find more answer there.

 

[Masked Imperial]

The music was okay, nothing too good, nothing too bad. But nothing happened for a couple of hours, so he took a cake, ate the cake, and collapsed on the floor.


--


He woke up, but didn't, it was like he was in his body, but his body wasn't his. Anyways, he was still the guy from before. When he woke up, he noticed that the beds for knights were barely beds at all, they were just straw piled in the shape of a mattress. He got up and changed, putting on his armor over his clothes, with the help of his squire. He exits the room, unsure what he should do.
