WELCOME TO SILVERTINE

[Whether you were eating dinner, fighting someone, or being dead, you now find yourself tossed into a bustling world. The air here is hot and humid from being caught between a warm ocean, a swamp, and a ridge of mountains; everything smells of grease and dirt and wet pavement. Canvas and clockwork airships zoom overhead, nestling like so many birds in the shadows of the biggest mountain. A castle and the city walls are etched into the hillside. It seems to form the foundation of the entire city.

The townspeople are busy with their own lives, and they seem to take no notice of the newcomers, only pointing toward the looming castle if asked for assistance and ignoring anything else. For the most part, they're dressed in a mixture of Victorian fashion and whatever a magnet can attract. Some of them have cat ears, or wolf tails, or horns, or tiny wings. It's so commonplace that it won't even turn heads if you have them, too.

This strange city seems to have everything: a castle, an airship port, a grassy park, a hospital, a farmer's market, shops with clockwork-styled robots, armor and weapons shops, an inn, a theme park and fair... Everything is free to the Otherworlders as well, though there is a theory that the ruling council might be getting their payment some other way. The gates open at dawn and shut at dusk, and outside of them lies a wide open plain supposedly infested with monsters.

How will you spend your day in this strange place?]

KRATOS AURION | TALES OF SYMPHONIA

[cruxified]

[Someone isn't happy to have been yanked from what he was doing, but he's not letting it show on his face. Instead, he's watching the market closely for signs of... well, anything.

Maybe he's finally lost it.]

ROXAS | KINGDOM HEARTS (AU)

[otherness]

[This place feels really familiar, but at this point, he still can't figure it out... Something about the castle and the way the gears turn-- well, whatever. He can't seem to port out and he can't access the Plane, either.

Time for some recon.

Anyone is free to spy a strangely era-appropriate Roxas stalking around the airship port, because OH MAN WHAT IF THOSE SHIPS GO TO ANOTHER WORLD?]

VICTORIA "TORI" MARIE CRAWFORD | ORIGINAL CHARACTER

[sodaforever]

[There's a silver-haired teenage girl crossing her arms irritably as she watches townsfolk pass her by. She has no idea what's going on, but she doesn't like it--especially since she doesn't see Jeb anywhere nearby.

Approach with care, she's (understandably) not in the best of moods at the moment.]

Lightning | Final Fantasy XIII

[leavespinkbruises]

[One minute she was grocery shopping at her usual store in Bodhum. The next it was an outdoor farmer's market, and the meat she was holding suddenly didn't look at all like the type that was on sale. What the hell?]

[Looking around her at the grand landscape, the soldier realizes it doesn't look anything like Cocoon at all. Or Gran Pulse for that matter. Setting the slab of fish down, Lightning again surveys the area and sighs.]

...Right.
