idolpro | Izanagi's Ideal World

You wake up in a typical Japanese high school classroom to the sound of a bell.

You are dressed in one of two uniforms* (*Please button up your jacket properly!) - whichever your character would feel most comfortable in. The bell was apparently the signal for the end of classes for the day, because everyone else is getting up from their desks and mingling with their friends, making the motions of preparing to leave without quite going yet.

Among them is Izanagi, surrounded by a small group of students and chattering away energetically. There are two exits, one at the front of the room and one at the back, both of which lead to the hallway. On the other hand, if you want to try understanding what you’re doing here, this is probably the best opportunity to talk to Izanagi or talk to your classmates. You can also, of course, find each other and compare notes. There’s a bag hooked on the side of each of your desks, and inside are the typical supplies you would expect most students to carry: writing utensils and notebooks. These can be used, or not, as you please.

That's a rather arrogant thing to say when you only noticed it here. It can't be helped if you guys broke everything.

And, well... I have no intention of leaving. Because if I do, I'll just return to being a devil whose only purpose is to destroy everything, or die.

Not really the type of person you just want hanging around, is it?

I also don't live with you and I've only been here a short while. Time and proximity can make a world of difference.

[Frowns.]

No, I don't want the type of person who wants to destroy everything.

But it's pretty obvious you don't. So why not change that purpose?

Because it's impossible, obviously.

....seriously.

[This is the MOST JUDGY LOOK.]

You're saying its impossible. With all the crazy stuff that happens in F Tokyo?

All right, I'll bite. Why is it impossible?

Putting an end to that means graduating and taking the "hell" option for a wish - and also becoming a demon in eternal service to one of the princes of hell.

Are you not seeing how that basically negates the wish to begin with?

...is THAT what happens at the end of all this? [He has only been given the graduation explanation once.]

[And it was by Scythe in the other Ideal World.]

No, that's a terrible idea. I mean literally everything else. I mean, people have abilities that got taken away that can do things like the unit abilities. Or probably more. Some might be gods. Some are from the future and other worlds and things are weird and different and...

How can you believe impossible exists when all that is around you?

Especially for something like...choosing a different path?

There's two options, but that's the only one that involves a wish.

[Though at the last part, he just shakes his head.]

You're making a big assumption there. It's not as simple as choosing to be this or that.

[If it were that easy, there'd be no problem. But it's not./i>]

...Just let me have this. Let me have a little peace as a human for once.

Honestly, I was running under the assumption we were just playthings for the time being. [Sometimes he's a bit of a cynic.]

Things like that are never as simple as they should be.

But you haven't explained why it's impossible. What's the force behind the choices?

[Hmm, and he'll take a look through these binoculars because Izanagi is by them.]

[All that can be seen is the expanse of the city below them... Or at least, a decent painting of one. Izanagi watches him for a moment before drifting away, towards a table with a stamp and some papers.]

Do you seriously think if I explain it to you, you'll be able to magically come up with a solution I couldn't?

I'm not that pathetic.

[...this is weird.]

[He looks up and will follow to the table with stamps and paper.]

Magically? No. Perspective wise? Possibly.

If you're told since you're a kid things are this way, they can only be this way, over and over again, you're going to believe it. I grew in a world where everyone learns to fight that when I hear about worlds that don't, I have a gut reaction that it's a fairy tale.

Except that's a reality for some people.

And that's for things outside of me.

So far it seems people have a far harder time accepting an internal logic of themselves might be wrong. Or at least have a blind spot.

But look at it this way.

I don't trust the people creating this illusion to keep it kind for long. If you think the truth is worse, then that'd be the way to get me to stop.

I studied everything I possibly could. I'm sure I tested it thoroughly, over and over again, anything to find some kind of root that could be blocked or prevented.

It's beyond logic. It's simply fate.

[And there's no power that can prevent that, or at least, none worth looking into given the steep price.]

...I already know it is. Even if it fades into some kind of hellish torment...

Well, it's not like I'd avoid that by returning to hell, either.

So you don't even remember everything you did.

Do you just remember being hopeless about it?

[Looking over the papers and stamps.[
