idolpro | Glory Ideal World

As you come to consciousness, you hear narration in your head. For some reason, this seems perfectly natural.

Welcome to Glory's Ideal World!

You'll find you have a gun at your side. You'll use this to interact with the things and people in this world. Don't worry, though! This is not a normal gun, and it doesn't fire real bullets! No things or people will be harmed by being shot with them. In fact, they won't do anything at all unless you shoot at weak points—actually, let's call them key items or key concepts. In order to break through to reality, you'll need to identify which of them are true and accurate representations, and which are illusion or delusion. Destroy the delusions, and strengthen the truths! However, be careful—if you strengthen a delusion it will make it harder to escape this world, and if you destroy a truth it will be harder to escape with Glory and yourselves intact!

You have two kinds of bullets - "Affirm" bullets and "Deny" bullets. If you think something is true and should be reinforced, shoot it with an "Affirm" bullet! On the other hand, if you think it's false, shoot a "Deny" bullet! You'll find out what other effects this has as you go! You've even been given one special skill to help you out!

Of course, you can always leave things alone. But if you don't want to be trapped here forever, you'll need to make some decisions. So don't be shy. You've got unlimited ammo.

There appears to be an almost ghostly pistol at your hip, hovering attached to nothing. It's a revolver with two settings, easy to pick up and fire, and the bullets themselves are even more incorporeal - shadows that dart through the air and disappear without a trace on impact.

(OOC: Key items and concepts will be bolded in descriptions and dialogue, and your character will be able to sense they seem important as well. You can shoot any of them you see at any point. How do you shoot a concept? Don't worry about it. Just say what you're shooting in your action tag, and whether you are AFFIRMing or DENYing. In addition to doing damage to or reinforcing the ideal world illusion, shooting these may cause mental or physical effects. These affect everyone in the vicinity, not just the person who fired the bullet.

Otherwise, you can assume the guns have no effect on anything.

You can check your character's individual skill and their starting area in the signup sheet. Skills are one time use.)

[HEY I GOT A SWORD ISN'T IT COOL-

He nods to her.]

Find anything useful yet?

Useful...?

I'm not really sure, but I feel like that cannon over there is... significant?

[ she means the rocket launcher. please help she's from ye olden fantasy times. ]

Also—some letters I destroyed.

[Honestly as if he knows any better? Is that Kalina Ann or something of Glory's from home? He won't recognise it either way besides that it's a fucking rocket launcher.]

Hm... What were the letters, what happened?

Well, it was... letters from an orphanage, addressed to her and Nero? They seemed like children had written them, but they were kind of... indistinct.

...I felt something about her... I guess her false memories and the kinship she felt to Nero... but her worry that she doesn't know how to be part of a family?

...Clearly those were fake, right? So it must have helped. She told me she has demonic power which is, of course, false. And she shouldn't even know half of these things in here.

Ah... I see.

I mean—I know she had a workshop like this in the past, although I don't know if they were all the same weapons...

...but a lot of her memories aren't real, either, so.

I was wondering about that - should we be denying both these false memories and the false memories she was already given? It complicates things, doesn't it?

........mm. I'm not really sure...

I just know she's really... afraid that her lack of a past makes her sort of... not good at being a person.

Thus imprinting on us, I suppose.

Well, then maybe we should focus on things relating to our family. You should have a fair idea of what that is too.

Mm... I guess I'm marrying in, aren't I?

I've seen enough memories of your world, at least.

Yes, you're included in that. These seem to mostly relate to the blood relatives, but that's just semantics. I'm sure you being here with us is because of that.
