Yvette's super fun spy simulator: Session I

Objective: Convince Yvette to leave the Ideal World.
The following is ICly known:
  • Unit abilities are off :)
  • Yvette is actively trying to sabotage players
  • One tactic is making interaction "pay for play," using memories, specifically those of Yvette. (max 5)
  • After 5 memories have been exhausted, false memories will be implanted
  • Planted memories will not be accepted as Payment.
  • Alternate Payment is negotiable, but the player will lose whatever they give her
  • Use of force is highly inadvisable, and the condition for success is extremely low. Failure will result in a false memory.
  • Your smartphone works, and can be used to document inconsistencies in the Ideal World.


tl;dr The more evidence you collect, the more convincing you are; memories can be used to unlock certain things, but if they run low, you get mindfucked (probably).
All things lost or received during the game will be reversed upon waking or within one IC day, at player’s discretion. The character does not know this ICly.

The piano looks like a grand piano, but upon playing a key, it sounds like a cheap electric keyboard, but it does play this song, though the mechanical quality takes the romantic soul out of it.

There is also music on the Music stand and a Piano Bench

[What's the music on the stand? And is the piano bench the type that can be opened up to store things?]

If you can read music, what's resting on the music stand is part of the piece the piano played, but it's only the left hand portion.

The piano bench can be opened to store things.

[If only Ayumu were around to drag in here...

Well, he'll give the left-handed music a shot, then. He can read music and it takes pressing a couple keys to figure out which corresponds to what note, but he caaaaaan manage it? It's not great, but he gets the right notes at least.

Success is yours! It's not great, but you manage to get through it.

[Yaaaay.

But hmmm. That did less than he was expecting. Time to mess with the piano bench and see if there's anything worth grabbing inside.

Inside the Piano Bench is a sheet of music staff paper. Those without musical inclinations will still be able to make a comparison to the crisp, regimented lines of printed music resting on the music stand– a clear indication that this is not how it should be written.

There’s a shaky quality to it, as though the person who had put it on paper was struggling to hold the pencil. Even the small dots of the music notes aren’t filled in consistently.

Those who can read sheet music will notice that this piece is arranged for the right hand only.

This can be photographed or taken.

[Aha. okay. He'll go ahead and put that up along with the left handed music, and...

Well, he's never tried playing piano with two hands before, but maybe that additional dexterity will help?

Upon picking up the sheet music, a memory plays.

It’s been two years since she’s seen Chrysanthemum.

He’s older, his face has lost some of the cute boyish roundness she recalls, though it’s hard to differentiate the passing of time from his deteriorating condition.

And yet, his fragile body has done absolutely nothing to dull his sass.

He pretends he doesn’t remember her, nonchalantly tells her to come back later, even though she literally crossed an ocean early that morning to see him for just a few hours.

There's comfort in that familiar attitude, and she can't help the warmth in her chest as she watches him write out an arrangement as steadily as he can. He tells her his left hand is paralyzed and his vision fades in and out, she knows things will only get worse from there.

The song he plays is beautiful, but the moment is bittersweet.
No amount of hard work can reverse his condition.
Nothing she changes about herself will change his situation.
Not even the love in her heart can stop the inevitable end.
The only thing she can do is pray that his dream he has for others will live on after he has passed, and that his last days on earth may be peaceful ones.

[Sorry, he swore off combat and he's pretty sure taking a break is pointless, so I guess we're off to ???]

It's been a long day at the lab, too long, but he can clock out at last. A few years ago, this would have been an impossible dream, but technological advancements allowed for more detailed analysis of the human genome, allowing him to pinpoint the sequence related to his and Ayumu's cellular degradation. Thanks to a new gene therapy program he pioneered, he was able to save their lives. And now, he's working on a way to apply that to other genetic diseases. It isn't nearly as flashy or cool as putting on a costume and hauling bad guys to jail, but he's still a hero.

A hungry hero.

And while he has every bit of faith in Ayumu's cooking, the possibility of a vegetarian dinner after a long day's work isn't appetizing. Sure enough, there's fried eggplant, to pair with home-made seasoned dashi stock, there isn't a speck of meat.

But Ayumu promised him yakiniku tomorrow. And he knows there will be a tomorrow, one where they can live happily ever after.

The scene cuts off
