The tattooed man appears

Characters: Isaac
Content: Isaac enters Paixao
Setting: Joutenheim's Gate
Time: Afternoon.
Warnings: None.

After what felt like an eternity of sleep he woke up, standing, as if to do so was the most natural action in the world! His eyes sucking up the new area hungrily, trying to search for a familiar object, a throne, a pillar, a person. But everything seemed foreign and new. Isaac's immature brain tried desperately to understand what had happened to him. But before he could concentrate properly he was being ushered along, evidently he had awoken in a queue of people. The line leading to a large gate, quite ornate, its mouths opening into some sort of city.

The wait was long and dull and as often as Isaac tried to talk to those in front and behind him he was ignored, dismissed, and he felt as though he was shrinking into himself. Body contort with a variety of ugly emotions; loneliness, angry and frustration. But just as he was going to explode and demand some recognition he was approached by a petite woman holding some sort of smooth slate, much like a book, that she handed to him. He was asked a series of questions, basic details such as his age and name, and after answering them he was pointed into the city.

He took some hesitant steps into the bustling town, eyes wide as he watched pale figures blur past him, arms lank by his sides, very confused but somehow intensely interested in this inexplicable series of events.

(OOC: Since Isaac has been dropped, I vote we continue this at a later point. Perhaps after finding lodgings. I'll go ahead and post a transitional piece; let me know if I need to change it.)

Soma looked at the facade of the building they had come to, and briefly wondered if they might be safer outside. Sure, it was beautiful and all, but it was -glass-. And glass had a tendency to break.

Or contain demons. But that was another story altogether.

They certainly looked the part of a ragtag band of adventurers; the fierce warrior, fiery blade drawn and ready. The priestess, healer and protector. The dwarf, armored and armed. Indeed, a party right out of any number of fantasy games.

This was no game, though. And Soma wasn't altogether sure Mina could heal anything beyond supplying bandaids. The fact that the dwarf had already managed to throw up was another bad sign, and Soma was feeling definite dark pressuring from within. Clearly, Dracula liked the way things were developing, in some twisted way.

"Umm... Maybe we should keep looking?" he said, vaguely hoping that they wouldn't be stuck (literally or figuratively) in this glass opera house.
