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?

CRASH LANDING

[ Logan wakes up with wide eyes and a mouth open for gasping.

He'd been shot in the head. That's the last thing he remembers, both in mind and body (his mind builds the memory, his body forces his hand to reach up and touch where the bullet ought to be). There's a smear of blood on his skin where he was hit, but besides that, no trace of anything. His body's regenerated perfectly.

But rather than waking in a military prison, he sees -- ]

What the fucking hell.

[ Fire and metal parts and snow on a beach. Logan sits up, groaning a little as he fixes the cricks in his neck with tilts of his head. He gets to his feet, breaths coming a little heavy, and then walks through the smoke, caring little for the tears it brings to his eyes or the suffocating sense his lungs adopt.

His first instinct is listening for people. Should he hear some cry of help he'll certainly go to collect them (probably with some use of his claws), and if he sees someone in a relatively safe position, he'll call them out. Logan has two objectives: 1) save those in need; and 2) figure out what the fuck is happening. ]

[millenials]

[ dani has known for a while now that her life is in danger — but it's been the constant kind, a low level threat that could turn immediate at any moment but hasn't. there hasn't been any bullets headed her ways, any enforcers coming to take her out. none of that has happened.

instead, she finds herself on a beach, surrounded by fire and smoke, and this cannot be her father's doing, but it's nonetheless terrifying. she has no idea what to do, so she does the only thing she can think of: slipping out of her high heels and making her way across the sand to somewhere hopefully less smokey and firey.

she figures she's making progress, but when a piece of metal comes flying her way, the only thing she can think of isn't running. it's to scream. ]

[danzan]

[ Fortunately for Dani, the metal is slashed in half before it can get her, the force with which Logan's claws slice through it (adamantium, better than anything) enough to cause the separate pieces to split apart in separate directions. Likely the logical thing to do would've been to push the girl aside, but Logan had been closer to the danger than the target.

He huffs, lets his claws retract back into his fists as he spares her a glance. She looks frozen in place, which can't be good for a place in disarray like this one is. ]

You all right? [ Clearly she isn't. Logan asks it not because he wants an answer, but because it should at least jog her brain to start working again. ] Listen, kid, we gotta move.

[millenials]

Fine. Fine —

[ she's not. of course she's not fine. she's terrified and completely overwhelmed by everything and there's a guy in front of her who just slashed through a piece of metal with claws coming from his hand like it was nothing. she's not fine.

but she's from new york. she's a wakefield. she's not going to stand here frozen in place. gripping her shoes more firmly, she takes a step — not toward or away from him but to the side. ] Where to?

crash;

[shadowblends]

[No matter how much he does it, trudging through ankle-deep snow continues to confuse the teleporter. Isn't this supposed to be a tropical island sort of thing with the sandy beach and ocean and all too familiar way new people arrive? His movement becomes an all out sprint toward the water, overwhelming concern controlling his steps at this point.

As per usual, there are injured people that he checks up on, aiding in safely directing them away from the fire by gesturing toward the forest. Yes, it's snow and it's cold, but they'll just have to keep moving, until they reach the innermost part of Xistentia.

Amid the haze, Nightcrawler spots someone else, although it's hard to make them out through the smoke from his position. With a few quick displacements, he's brought closer, though, raises a hand to cup near his mouth as he calls out.]

Hey, are you— [he immediately stops once the man is more visible, eyes wide, heart pounding like it's trying to escape his chest when he recognizes-- sweet jesus, it's the guy he, Jean and Scott had encountered in the lower part of Alkali.

Kurt stiffens at the realization and takes a slow step back, hoping that Logan either doesn't remember who he is or that he'll totally ignore the fact there's a blue kid that'd tried to get his attention.]

[danzan]

[ See, the thing is Logan recognises the blue kid, too -- but not in the way the kid remembers him. He remembers him as the man who tried to kill the president, and it has him tilting his head to the side because...

Well, the president's assassin hadn't been so young, is all. ]

Hey! [ Not necessarily the most graceful response, but it should at least let the young man know that Logan's attention has been caught. ] Kid!

[ He walks forward, apparently caring little that the guy's stepping away from him. Logan's never been one for social subtleties, and he's not about to start. ]

[shadowblends]

[oh, no. nonono-- he's been spotted now, meaning there's very little chance he can turn and outrun this guy. he'd seen what 'weapon x' had done to all those men, stepped over so many dead bodies while hoping he and his friends wouldn't be next, but–

the guy hadn't said a single word before.

backpedaling a few more steps, the teleporter's attention stays completely focused on logan, heart hammering so hard against his ribs, he's afraid they might snap beneath the pressure. he holds his breath, left foot sweeping back like he might move again, and his heel comes down on a patch of ice.

he doesn't do anything as graceless as falling, though he does slide, both arms raising from his sides to balance himself out. then — like a deer caught in headlights — he stands there, gaping not unlike a fish out of water. physically, he says nothing, but every fiber of his being is screaming: "please, god, don't let him be the same person."]

[dothelokimotion]

A little too rugged for my tastes, but still.

How is it you do not age?

[danzan]

"Not human" should suffice.

[dothelokimotion]

It really does not. Especially here.

[danzan]

You should probably get used to that unfulfilled feeling, then.

[dothelokimotion]

Should I?

It's not as though I age either.

[pridestar]

Magic? Mutation? You care to share?

[danzan]

Which one makes more sense to you?

[pridestar]

Second one.

Hell, you look just like-- well. A hero among mutant kind.

[danzan]

I'll stop you right there and say that probably ain't me.

Mutant's right, though. I regenerate.

lmk if this is not ok 8D

[pridestar]

[:v ...... :VVVV ...]

You're the Wolverine.

daemon: quothed

[deathkid]

[ how mysterious. is this guy another vampire or is this the case of something else. ]

✓

why not?

[danzan]

Probably pissed the wrong guy off in a past life.

[deathkid]

been there, done that, the tshirt sucks.
but seriously, you won't be the only one with longevity here.
for example, i'm 89 even though i look only 19.

[danzan]

A teenager, huh.

My condolences. Shitty body to be stuck with.

[magnetizing]

✓

Any particular reason why

[danzan]

My body's a piece of shit.

[magnetizing]

i'm pretty sure most people here would say it's the exact opposite.

[danzan]

That's how you know they ain't immortal.
