castle_perrault[The first thing Rich notices is that his hospital bed is feeling mighty uncomfy at the moment. No matter how he tries to shift himself around, it feels like he's sleeping on rocks. He really doesn't want to wake up so soon, but with a mumble, he opens his eyes, hoping that maybe one of his friends has popped in to visit.
When he opens his eyes, he doesn't see any of his friends. In fact, he doesn't see the room he's almost gotten used to. When he turns his head to the side, he notices what he mistook for his hospital bed is actually a hard stone chair, something like a throne that he's currently seated in.
Then he notices that he is seated, and looking down at his legs, the bandages are completely gone. He makes a confused noise as he lifts his arms. They're mobile again... covered in scars, but otherwise healed. He frowns and looks around the room.]
Um... Mr. Nurse Dude? Did the doctors take the casts off while I was out?
[He takes in the rest of the room: the tall stained glass windows, the looming pillars, the sprawling velvet carpet covering stone floor. He feels way tinier than he usually does.]
...Also am I high?
[There is regrettably no answer. Not when he calls for Jake or Michael or Jeremy, not when he even tries calling for Chloe or Brooke. He waits for a while, but, antsy as he was when he couldn't move his limbs, it isn't long before he hops off the throne and starts using his newly healed legs to start wandering.]
((This is a joint intro of sorts! Rich's bestest bro Jake Dillinger (jakeyd) will have a tag under this post to respond to if you are so inclined.))

[Awkward joke?]
Anyways, uh... I was kind of wondering how the heck I got here.

Date: 2017-10-18 05:27 am (UTC)Um. [Wow! Frisk doesn't want to explain anything about this stupid place in their current state. They're already glancing around for the nearest hallway to shoot down if they gotta.] Magic, actually. The castle takes people a lot.

Date: 2017-10-18 08:31 pm (UTC)[He notices their nerves and assumes it's just him making a bad joke, so he decides to be careful mentioning that from now on.]
The... castle takes people? There isn't like some evil wizard doing it?

Date: 2017-10-19 06:57 am (UTC)Prob'ly not. Never met anybody like that, anyway, and lotsa people tried looking.

Date: 2017-10-19 08:04 pm (UTC)But then if no one is doing it, then you’re saying the building is taking us, and that doesn’t make any sense. Castles aren’t like… sentient, that’s the word.

Date: 2017-10-20 12:38 am (UTC)'S a castle in the sky, fulla people from different worlds, even the same ones from different timelines. Monsters too, but nice ones, usually. (Don't fight any.) A lot of stuff here doesn't make sense.

Date: 2017-10-20 05:04 pm (UTC)...Yeah, I guess you're right. Sorry, I didn't mean to be annoying. But there are monsters here? That's kind of cool.
child plz must you be so vague
Date: 2017-10-22 12:10 pm (UTC)Yeah, like walking skeletons. Things are different right now, though, some are worse than usual, so go away 'f you see anybody that looks mad.
[And that's all they can bring themselves to say about it before they shift and try to start standing.]
it's cool rich is being a little vague too
Date: 2017-10-22 04:26 pm (UTC)[Except then he needs a minute to absorb the idea of walking, living skeletons, and then wonder why the monsters are worse now, and then finally notice that the kid is standing up.]
Oh, hey, are you leaving already?
(no subject)
Date: 2017-10-25 04:50 pm (UTC)...Stay away from wolves right now 'specially. Sorry.
[They already feel guilt twisting in their stomach. Hopefully he's gonna be okay until all this blows over.]
CHILD NO i say, not sure whether i mean frisk or rich.
Date: 2017-10-26 12:33 am (UTC)[Rich isn't one to leave a kid alone. They look freaked out about something, so he stands and makes to follow after them.]
