INTRODUCTION ⇄ FAQ ⇄ APPLICATIONS

CRASH LANDING

Exit one dimension, enter the next. It was chaos: pressure against your ears, light bending in an impossible, unimaginable way. The very molecules of your body vibrating against one another. If you have windows, the view outside makes no sense. Even if not, your hands, your face, your feet seem like an uncertain thing. It's the feel of reality itself tearing apart, reshaping, reconnecting, thread by thread.

And suddenly, there's a beach— or ocean, whichever you land in. Smoke. Fire. Salt water churning up, fizzing around, almost at odds with the layer of thick snow over everything.


Maybe you crash, in a ship wrecking into sand. Maybe you merely stumble out of a portal, a ragged wormhole in space. Or maybe you fall off the back of an incredible steed, some creature that carried you into this place. Either way, there's pandemonium around you. Incredibly, severe injuries are far and few between— nobody's screaming about the dead. But you might have to help pull someone free of wreckage, or move quickly to salvage burning belongings from the landing craft. Maybe it's the crafts themselves, that you're trying to salvage.

Likely, you don't know them, these other strangers who arrived here^[1]. Maybe you don't trust them— you just came out of a dying world, after all. But you all have one thing in common: you're here now.

When you get a second to breathe, maybe you'll see it. The snowy forest across the sand. Beyond that, the glint of a faraway city.

Dinner with a Succubus (NSFW)

Your first dinner party in Xistentia^[2] is a sumptuous and luxurious dinner that takes place at the private residence of one of the natives.

As you step in, the first thing you notice is the scent of indigenous flowers mingled with the floating traces of savory and sweet from the elaborate buffet set up on the side. Treats from around the Multiverse.



However, sectioned off from these public areas, there are spaces reserved for sexual activity. It's not so surprising, when you remember that the lights outisde, the power behind the city itself, runs off human emotional interaction— and desire is a powerful emotion indeed. These rooms feature every conceivable surface you might want to tangle on, from silk to lacquered desks, to rubber.

Chests hold sundry toys and other equipment. Rooms have beds sized comfortably from anywhere from one to five people, and there are peepholes. Everything is marked with painted symbols in a language that is known to no one person, but somehow universally comprehensible.

NETWORK

Xistentia now has its own 'friending app.' You can use it to make connections with new people! But beware, your daemon may well post without your permission, and things could get pretty embarrassing.

F.A.T.E.S. thought it was a pretty good pun: Synchr. Get it? Like sinker? Hook, line, and?

((ooc book gushing first??? I have never read this series but it sounds FANTASTIC, so I'm going to, and the same publishers also publish my fave author, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, who also does gay fantasy so I am just. EXCITE. That is all!!!))

[Ever since arriving, Kara has spent a portion of her day patrolling the beaches for newcomers. She was lucky enough that the legendary ("legendary"? still unclear) Tony Stark was there to explain the bare bones of Xistentia that her daemon didn't, and she's 100% sure she can't do as good of a job as him, but the beach, and the forest it transforms into, can be dangerous.

She's not going to let anything bad happen to anyone who comes here.

Her eyes widen when she sees the washed up... knight? Prince.. guy? He looks like he stepped right out of a trashy romance novel or a period drama on The CW. She rushes over to him, at a normal, human-enough speed.

She appears slightly disheveled, though. Her blonde waves are frizzy, the new beachy humidity doing a number on them that wasn't expected, and her supersuit has some notable rips in it along her right side and left shoulder that have been badly stitched back together. Look, she's a superhero, not a seamstress.]

Hi! Are you all right? You're at Xistentia, and we're trying to save just... all the worlds.

it's a really great series and i recommend it to anyone!

[yashel]

[ the blond that approaches him looks like a common woman. after being around high society ladies with their hair done up in elaborate curls and coifs, it's a bit interesting to see a woman with her hair down and not a stitch of cosmetics on her. a commoner, perhaps? her outfit is strange, but he's been around plenty of women soldiers to not make any uncouth assumptions. she could be a warrior, much like beka or klia, but dressed down for the day. what she's doing on the beach, however, leaves a few questions in his mind.

but as always, alec lets his nightrunner instincts take charge. it wouldn't do to be incautious, especially in a situation like this, and though he will be polite, he'll be wary. he knows nothing about this new place and feels uncertain about what to do. thinking about what seregil might do, he recalls his lover's words: "play the role to the hilt." so he bows elegantly and offers a hand. ]

I'm fine, if a bit shaken. I must admit I'm a bit lost, though. I can't even find my horse. You say this is Xistentia, but I've never heard of it. Can you tell me more, my lady?

nice!! I'ma get on that ish!

[iisupergirlii]

[Kara's eyebrows shoot up the second he bows. My lady, oh Rao. If it wasn't for the way he was dressed, she'd assume he'd come fresh off some anonymous battle on Reddit, not anything actually end-of-the-worlds-y. She takes his hand, albeit after an awkward hesitation and offers a weird curtsy... thing in return. Is that right? She's only ever seen it in movies.]

[at his request, though, Kara blows out her cheeks, glancing side-to-side in hopes that someone would swoop in and just. Word vomit up an explanation of this weird place they're all in.]

I... can do that... yes. [she swings her arms at her sides, ending in a clap, and then, with her palms pressed together, she points at Alec.] Okay, so there's multiple Earths. Or, well, more than Earths. There's multiple universes. I think it's actually called, like, the multiverse.

We're all from different parts of it, and different times, um... obviously. The downside is that there's these bad guys who... I... don't know much about. They wear red! Except there is a guy here named Iron Man who also wears red, but he's not a bad guy. Annnyway, so the bad guys are trying to destroy the multiverse, and Xistentia is kind of this... semi-safe haven. Parts of it are super safe! Um. But not all the parts. Anyway, we're kind of trying to keep the multiverse from being destroyed. So, that includes where you're from!

Where... are you... from?

[Kara reaches up instinctively to awkwardly push her glasses up her nose, but ha ha, they're not there, so she pushes her hair back and gives Alec an awkward smile instead.]

[yashel]

[ it's a lot to take in, but after his experience in kouros, alternate realities or planes is not new to him. alternate "earths" however sounds a bit strange. unless she means worlds, in which case he's never known another save his own. and this place is nothing like the four lands or even the northern territories in which he was born. by the maker, he wishes seregil was with him to make sense of all this. or even thero, the wizard. neither are with him, so he has to make due.

noting the awkwardness with which she speaks and responds, alec offers her a kind smile. despite his ulterior motives of pumping her for info, he is still determined to remain kind. she seems nice enough, but he's known people to have reasons for coming across that way, himself included. ]

Rhiminee, Skala. But Mirror Moon, Kouros as of late. I should probably introduce myself. I am Baron Alec i Amasa of Mirror Moon, my lady.

[ he pauses then, as if considering what she's told him, and then continues. ]

So this world, as you call it, is a place between places? One devoted to saving other places?

[iisupergirlii]

Yes! Yes, that... that is correct. [she's pretty sure that's correct. Her smile widens, and she looks visibly relieved.]

There's actually a... well. [she looks to either side of Alec, trying to ascertain which... thing could be his daemon. After all, it could be one of those extraordinarily pointy weapons he has for all she knows.]

Well, there's supposed to be this... thing. A daemon. Kind of a computer... pet...

[sweeping her cape aside, she reveals her daemon, AstraD, a chihuahua-sized alien with six tentacles, a pill-shaped body, and green and purple hues. There's a little pink bow attached to the top of its head, something Kara did to her real Lumir when she was six on Krypton but that seems to be a permanent fixture to this technological imitation.

Boy, Winn would have a field day with this.]

One of these! Only yours won't look like this. They basically know everything there is to know about this place, so if you have questions, they can help you out! More than I can. I kind of, um... I'm a puncher. Not a diplomat. Not usually.

I'm Supergirl! By the way. Sorry, totally spaced on introducing myself. But that's... that's me. Hi.

[yashel]

[ as she speaks, a white owl flutters down to land on alec's shoulder. he looks up at it, a bit surprised, but this must be the daemon she was speaking of. take what the lightbringer sends he thinks to himself as he reaches up and trails his fingers along the bird's plumage. should he surprised that his daemon is illior's favored animal? he tends to have illior's favor often enough.

but then he's looking at what she claims to be her daemon. his eyes widen a little because it looks like a demon of some sort and his hand strays to his sword until he spots the little pink bow. clearly this is something familiar to her, even as strange as it seems. ]

What's a computer? It does seem like I've been bestowed with a pet, at least. I'll have to confer with it later.

[ because he doesn't want to ask more questions in front of her, in case something about his true nature is revealed. there's no knowing if there's necromancers or the like here and he doesn't want to meet up with any unsavory characters. she, at least, seems tame until she introduces herself.

"supergirl". what a strange title. ]

I'm... not much of a diplomat either, Lady Supergirl. [ he makes a face. that sounds weird even in his ears. ] But it is nice to meet a kind face in this strange place.

[iisupergirlii]

Kara does very well at tamping down her instinct to sock him a good one when his hand goes to her sword. "Aliens" on Earth have been around since the dawn of time. Just because he hadn't seen one... She pauses her internal monologue, taking a deep breath.

He didn't know any better, and he didn't draw his sword, so. She can move on. And besides, oh Rao, 'Lady Supergirl.' She'd have to remember to tell Clark that one, if she ever saw him again. Ha ha...

Ha...

Anyway!]

Great, we can be not-diplomats together. [she points to the owl.] That has excellent timing!

Would you... like me to take you to the city? You can get cleaned up, and there's all sorts of people there to meet, food to eat, if you're hungry. Also, um, the forest ahead can be dangerous, so. I like to go with new people, just in case they need the help.

[yashel]

[ noticing the way her eyes go to where his hand rests, he makes a note of not making any hasty motions in her presence. despite how strange and weird everything is, it would not do to get into a fight already. he has a facade to maintain and he breathes in deeply to settle himself. then, releasing the breath, he figures it wouldn't hurt to go with her. a guide would be helpful in a new place like this and though he has no fear of whatever might be in the forest ( he grew up in the north, after all, shooting game for his dinner or starve ), he needs to keep up certain appearances. ]

I would appreciate that greatly. Is there a bathhouse here, by any chance?

[iisupergirlii]

[a bathhouse? Kara looks down to AstraD, confused, and with a smile on her green little face, AstraD beams a projection of what Kara assumes is the inside of a bathhouse. It's a moving video projection, almost like a tour, and as Kara watches, lots and lots of naked men having a lot of sex blur by on the screen.

Holy Rao, that's a lot of naked men.

After a moment, Kara shakes her head, sputtering, and swipes her hands through the projection, as if that'd help. Eventually, it does disappear, though.]

Okay! Okay, I get it! Holy Rao's light, take me now.

[she pivots in the sand, standing up ramrod straight and smiling tightly at Alec.]

I... do not know if we have one of those. But, we can... ask... in the city. Or, um. You, you can ask.

[her face is bright red, and she vows to turn on the safe search with AstraD, however she'd... go about... doing that.]

[yashel]

[ the projection startles him at first. it seems like some sort of magic and maybe it is. it's a lot like thero's window spells, anyway. but what's seen makes alec's eyes widen and a blush darkens his cheeks as well. mind, he's no virgin, but his dalnan upraising has made it so he is still shocked by such open acts of sex. that certainly wasn't the kind of bathhouse he had in mind and when he turns to supergirl, he's just as aghast as her. ]

Maker's Mercy. That's... not really what I had in mind. They don't have a place to get clean here? Fresh, hot water and soap? That's all I really need.

[iisupergirlii]

[Kara visibly slumps in relief.] Oh, thank Rao.

[she looks down to glare at AstraD who shrugs her arms and two tentacles upward then pops up another projection of Google web searches for bathhouses. All of them are... well, they're gay. They're places for gay sex.]

Okay, okay, I believe you. Geez. Anyway! Yes! There are tons of places here that can do that for you. And, um, you know, you can get your own place! Where you could go to get clean! That much I do know about. Unlike... unlike the other thing.

[yashel]

[ alec has to look away from astrad because watching that much sex is a little offputting. there's still a flush in his cheeks as the images fade and he clears his throat. ]

I can? Do I need to pay, because I have gold, but I don't know what kind of money they take here.

SORRY I SUCK

[iisupergirlii]

[Kara shakes her head.] No, so far, I think we just trade for everything. But, um, some people are just willing to help new folks out. I could take you to meet Iron Man! Or Thea!

[that's... that's the only people she knows so far. oops. Maybe she will go to that Gala thing...]

We just have to be careful in the forest first. You ready to go?
