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.)

STARTING AREAS: WORLD P | WORLD 1 | WORLD D

She seems kind of at home, doesn't she?

I don't know what else is around here, though... if we're supposed to convince her to leave.

We're inside her... dream, right? Like when Baritones decides to meddle?

It seems kind of like that...

But we need to wake her up somehow. I wonder if... she could be convinced, as long as we're all with her--so she won't be... alone.

This isn't reality now... but it could be, some day.

...so, maybe we need to show her that she's already got a family without having to change anything?

... yes. Swords, bikes, rocket launchers... those don't make her part of our family. Those are just the motifs we choose.

...those are some truly powerful motifs.

I think she just likes having the motorcycle on her own, though.

The motorcycle and the knife are her own; so I think we can affirm those things.

Could we try... taking her somewhere else?

I was maybe going to ask her to show me around, since I don't really know where anything is...

That could work.

Did you see the statue in the courtyard? There's a lever on it that can change the surroundings a little. She might know something about that.

Ah... that's good to know. It might be worth trying... or maybe it leads to things that we might want to adjust...?

It's possible.

[thinking]

I wonder if... just telling her she's in a dream would do anything.

[personal profile] softlyfalling 2020-08-01 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...I wonder.

Would she believe us, if she likes it here enough?

[personal profile] selfpreservationist 2020-08-01 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It might take some convincing, but... I think she trusts us. All of us. Enough to give us a chance, at least.

...yeah. It's at least worth a try.
