(I tried to edit this, but it disappeared when I did, so hopefully this doesn’t tag everyone twice.)
So where is the house now? I know it transported them across worlds, but where, geographically, is it? I would assume it is somewhere near a city, since they were transported there to help the queen? My character will probably just be dropped in separately once they get there, or maybe a bit before, but I’ll introduce him to you now:
Ellis
I’m not a very good describer of characters, but I have this picture I drew, which should give you a basic idea of what he looks like, even if it isn’t very good.
Ellis is pretty quiet, except when he gets angry. He takes things seriously and gets annoyed by people who don’t. He doesn’t show much emotion, except anger/annoyance, and he doesn’t really think about his emotions either. Even when he has a breakdown it is largely internal. He is usually fine with letting someone else lead, so long as they can do a better job than he would. That said, he is a capable leader if he has to lead. He can be reckless but is usually careful to make sure that he doesn’t put other people in danger by doing so.Um, that’s all I can think of to say about his personality. But if anyone has any questions about him, I’ll be glad to answer.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot: his sword, Conviction, is itself a sentient being. It can talk inside Ellis’s head while he is touching it, or into the heads of everyone in the general vicinity. I haven’t developed its personality much, but this RP should help with that! It’s a pretty laidback sword. It’s earnest, but also enjoys the occasional snarky comment.
As an Eivir sword, Conviction can also grant Ellis a burst of power that enhances his strength, speed, and durability, while he is holding it, and provided he is in the right mindset (belief in his cause.) While this is happening, Ellis’s eyes glow green, as do the emeralds on the sword, and the blade of the sword is enveloped in green energy.
Again, I can answer any questions about Conviction, although I think I already mentioned most of the details I know.
Since this is a good point for new characters to join, do you think we should tag some people and see if they want to?

📚 Appreciator of BooksAlrighty! He sounds pretty cool!! 😄 (And so does Conviction)

Hmm… near a city would make sense… or even possibly near her castle (or wherever the queen is). It might be fun if they interacted with village people and all, and had to get directions.
Flaz: *yawns* Did the sun just come up? In the west?

Thanks!

Yeah, I was thinking it might be cool if they had to journey a bit before they got there. The house could tell them how to get there. My character isn’t at the house though, so everyone else can do whatever they want. Maybe my character can meet up along the way or something.

By the way, could someone give me a quick rundown of what characters are in here already? How many are there, and what are their names? I think I’ve read it all at this point, so I’ll probably recognize them based on their names, but I can’t remember who is here off the top of my head.

Mmm, good idea. *thinks of all the annoying things Flaz might say while on the journey*

Ok! Sounds good!!
As far as the character rundown…. there are 9 active characters so far: Hugo, Ottoline, Amir, Hedieh, Kari, Kaine, Nahim, Lane, and Flazzy. (I don’t think there is anyone else…)
Flaz: *yawns* Did the sun just come up? In the west?
Okay, thanks! Those were the ones I could think of too, so I guess that must be it.

Im considering joining here. Could someone tell me what’s going on 😅?
Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.
Basically, there are nine characters so far (GRCR just listed them) who somehow ended up in this mysterious house that locked them inside and made them participate in a masquerade ball. Now the house has been mysteriously teleported to a different dimension, and they’re going to end up going on some sort of journey.

Oh my, Flaz is going to drive Ellis absolutely crazy!

📚 Appreciator of BooksOk! 😃 thanks, I’ll introduce my character later.

Yeah, you might want to wait to actually write anything until everyone else gets a bit farther. My character hasn’t actually showed up yet. He’ll arrive separately, so it probably makes the most sense to do that for any new characters.
I know you both expressed interest in this RP at the beginning, but never joined, so I’m just letting you know that it’s undergoing a major transition, so this would be a good time to join if you want to. No pressure though.

I’m just going to post Ellis’s arrival scene now. It ends kind of abruptly because I don’t have anything for him to do before he encounters the rest of the group.
Ellis
One moment, the din of battle rang on Ellis’s ears as he charged through the streets. The next he was falling. The stone brickwork collapsed below him, and he tumbled into a swirling black pit. He felt himself suddenly change directions and he shot out into the light once more.
He landed in a pile of rubble, bouncing, and Conviction slipped from his grasp. He hit the ground with a spray of dirt.
Ellis groaned as he sat up. “What happened?” he said aloud. He looked around at the completely unfamiliar landscape. “Where are we?”
I’m still trapped under a pile of bricks, said Conviction from somewhere nearby. Ellis stood up and rummaged through the rubble and located the sword. That’s better, it said as Ellis pulled it out, Could you dust me off?
“No,” snapped Ellis, returning it to its sheathe, “we don’t have time for that!” He glanced around again, then set off in a random direction.
Where are we going? asked Conviction.
“Back,” said Ellis shortly, “they need us.”
How are we going to get there? asked the sword.
“I don’t know,” said Ellis coming to a halt, “how did we get here?”
We seem to have been transported to a separate realm, said the sword, sounding unduly enthusiastic, I have no idea how that is possible, but—
“Another realm?” said Ellis, “like another planet?”
I don’t think a separate planet would feel this different from Adonial, said Conviction, we are in a new dimension entirely.
“Brilliant,” huffed Ellis, “are you telling me there’s no way back?”
Not necessarily, said the sword, It is possible that whatever force caused us to be transported here originated in this realm, in which case we can find it and use it to return.
“Great!” said Ellis, “where is it?”
Well, I don’t know! said Conviction, indignantly.
“Then how are we supposed to find it?” demanded Ellis.
————————————————————
Btw when Conviction speaks in italics, he is speaking into Ellis’s head and only he can hear him. If he talks “aloud” (he never actually speaks aloud, it is always directly into others’ minds, so “aloud” means he is talking to everyone nearby) he will use normal quotations.
