idolpro | Glory Ideal World

It's a sunny morning, and you're standing in the courtyard of an apartment building. It's situated by a lake, and there's a city visible in the distance.

The sculpture in the center of the courtyard looks a bit strange; there's a lever in it that looks like a gear shift. It has four settings: P, 1, D and R. There appears to be a piece of metal welded in place such that it can't move to R, though. It is currently set to P.

There's a door that appears to lead inside the main building. Attached to a corner of the building is a small coffee shop, and you can smell chocolate and coffee wafting from the open windows.

Inside, the shop is cozy, with only a small coffee bar and a few tables. The most impressive thing is the pastry case, which is well-stocked with various sweets. There's no one behind the bar at the moment.

Glory(?) is sitting at one of the tables with a book and some papers laid out in front of her, chewing on a pencil.

You enter a welcoming lobby area. There are some overstuffed couches and a fireplace as you come in. Straight ahead is an elevator with a floor-select screen in front of it, and further down there's a heavy-looking set of double doors, painted red.

The ground rumbles and shakes under you, and there's a sound like fabric ripping from outside. If you look at the sky, there's a dark jagged line across it that occasionally sparks when you look at it too long. Or maybe that's just an optical illusion...? They disappear once you blink.

Things settle after a moment, but the rip in the sky remains.

The ground shakes violently, and anything not well-secured falls or flies across the room. Then, after a moment, the air around you gives a final shudder, and the fissure in the sky opens into a broad crack. It now looks more like a painted surface overhead than a real sky, and through the crack is pitch blackness. Down at the horizon, the view looks even more unreal, like a painted mural on a wall not more than a few hundred feet away. The longer you look at it the more it seems to both crumble and get closer.

After a few moments, there's also a loud metallic grinding sound that seems to be coming from the courtyard where you first arrived.

It's a sunny morning, and you're standing in the courtyard of an apartment building. It's situated by a lake, and there's a city visible in the distance.

The sculpture in the center of the courtyard looks a bit strange; there's a lever in it that looks like a gear shift. It has four settings: P, 1, D and R. There appears to be a piece of metal welded in place such that it can't move to R, though. It is currently set to 1.

There's a door that appears to lead inside the main building. Attached to a corner of the building is a small shop. The windows are all stacked with card and board games, but you can see some motion inside.

Inside, one half of the shop is shelves piled high with various games - though there don't appear to be prices on anything, and by the counter there's a sign that says "Consider others, please return games when finished!", so maybe it's more like a rental desk than a shop? Either way, the counter itself is currently unstaffed.

The other side appears to be more of a game lounge, the wall plastered with posters for various events, and small tables lined up in a row. Glory(?) is seated at the table nearest the window, and seems to be sorting through some cards.

You enter a welcoming lobby area. There are some overstuffed couches and a fireplace as you come in. Straight ahead is an elevator with a floor-select screen in front of it, and further down there's a heavy-looking set of double doors, painted red.

This room is lit only by low mood lighting, and it looks like it would be better suited to a love hotel than a classy apartment building. The bed in the center of the room could hold at least four people. One wall is hung with bondage gear, and the other has ornate knives.

The ground rumbles and shakes under you, and there's a sound like fabric ripping from outside. If you look out at the sky, there's a dark jagged line across it that occasionally sparks when you look at it too long. Or maybe that's just an optical illusion...? They disappear once you blink.

There's a door that appears to lead inside the main building. Attached to a corner of the building is a large garage. The shutter door is open, and from inside you can hear clangs of metal on metal.

Inside is a large area that appears to be a combination garage and workshop. There are a few motorcycles in here, one of them which appears to be mid-work. There are tools and parts strewn across the floor. The far side has... a very large array of weapons, on racks, in cabinets, and mounted on the wall—swords, of course, and a lot of blades of shorter lengths, and guns, but also plenty of other things. Spears, crossbows, axes. There's even a chainsaw in there.

Glory(?) is sitting at a workbench sharpening a knife. She also appears to have some large piece of equipment behind her, and a pile of mail on the table beside her.

The world falls away around you.

What's left afterwards is... some kind of courtroom? The whole perimeter of the room has stained glass windows, letting light through in an eerie array of colors. There is no door. In the center of the room are sixteen podiums arranged in a circle, and a raised chair as if for a judge to watch the proceedings.

Glory still is beside you, though she is now wearing only a bra and underwear. But there's another figure that looks like Glory at one of the podiums... this one, however, appears to be a literal cardboard cutout. At three of the other podiums, there are portraits on stands. If you recognize them, they are C and X of AlcheME, and Medusa of future is now. The other podiums are empty.

(OOC: All characters find themselves alone once they're here, unless you especially want to be there with someone else, in which case go for it. Player choice.)
