Ascian's Ideal World: First Run

[idolpro]

You are in a dark place. All you can here is ticking for a long, long while.

Then a bright light, a pure white crystal, taller than the dorms itself, appears in front of you. It's voice echoes in your mind.

Hear.... Feel... Think...
A Light there once was that shone throughout this realm... yet it has since grown dim
And as it has faltered so has the Darkness risen up in its stead, presaging an end to life.
For the sake of us all, I beseech thee deliver us from this fate.
If thou would pierce the shadows... make thee a blade of light.
Hold onto it, child.
Return His Dark servants to your realm.
But beware, ever is He trying to grow his power. Do not get caught.


And the light vanishes you find yourself with a crystal in your hand.



Though you are again left in in Darkness before you find yourself in a vast city standing in front of a large teleportation device.

Objectives (if your character can translate Hydaelyn vagueness):
1) Convince both Ascians to leave
2) Don't get tempered :) (or killed if you don't like mind control)

Additionally you may choose EITHER canon or OR imeeji powers to be active. You can wait to decide until you use a power, but once you use a power that powerset is locked in as your choice.

Also if people are in the same area as you feel free to mingle. It is in fact encouraged. Also your phones work only to text and take pictures (basically for the purpose of communicating in case you are in different spots).

Re: ABSINTHE

[innerdaemons]

[ he hasn't stopped touching Zodiark yet!! and he imagines that won't go over peacefully. he's summoning spectral purple weapons seemingly out of nowhere, floating mid air in preparation for any attack that may be heading his direction. ]

I'm sure you will come to your senses after all of this is done, my friend.

[ he hasn't fired yet on Emet-Selch, though. ]

EVERYONE

arrive, react to the situation

Re: EVERYONE

[crystallinelore]

[SUPERHERO LANDING!!!!

but also]

What fresh hell is this?

Re: EVERYONE

[innerdaemons]

Daemonization of a deity. What, you have never witnessed such a thing before?

[ his tone is light, teasing, despite, you know ]

Re: EVERYONE

[selfpreservationist]

--Noah.

Re: EVERYONE

[crystallinelore]

Raven!

[hello and welcome to a hell. cat is clearly dismayed by your presence in said hell.]

Re: EVERYONE

[selfpreservationist]

I have a number of questions for you when this is all over. Let's stay alive for the time being, shall we?

Re: EVERYONE

[deicider]

[Cardinal uses a quick mid-air warp strike to soften their landing.]

I can add another god to my tally.

Re: EVERYONE

[innerdaemons]

At least I have an ally.

Re: EVERYONE

[deicider]

What exactly are you doing to it...?

Re: EVERYONE

[innerdaemons]

Daemonizing Him -- corrupting him until He is naught but a mindless crystal under my control.

Re: EVERYONE

[jobchange]

[and a ROLLING landing for Thancred!]

...Wait. Are these idiots fighting amongst themselves now?!

Re: EVERYONE

[auguryofinnocence]

[Well we're coming in and desperately looking for Lahabrea and Emet-Selch!

He's fucked up about this!

For those who are not already aware, he's in demon form currently. Also holding onto Raven.]

Re: EVERYONE

[selfpreservationist]

[raven lands, holding onto vergil, and quickly hops off once they're grounded]

Absinthe? What's happening?

Re: EVERYONE

[innerdaemons]

Oh, hardly much. I'm simply putting an end to this little fantasy world of theirs.

Re: EVERYONE

[selfpreservationist]

You're the reason why Elidibus was corrupted, then? I daresay you have your work cut out for you.

Re: EVERYONE

[firststone]

[ Ao falls with her hands in her pockets. a grappling hook shoots out of one of her legs to catch onto a piece of debris to slow her fall and right herself right before her hoof-like "feet" hit the ground, layered shock absorbers silencing any noise from her landing ]

This does seem of more interest than waiting for a number.

ASCIANS

[idolpro]

Re: ASCIANS

[temperedinpride]

[Lahabrea appears out of a dark rift, at Emet-Selch's side immediately. He is livid.]

YOU DARE!



[Lahabrea raises his arms to the heavens as the sigil glows bright upon his face. Aether bright and sharp begin to gather at his fingers. You feel a warmth from the crystal trinket at your ear, neck or wrist--if you acquired one, that is.]

Re: ASCIANS

[firstworldproblem]

[He does reform from the shadows hovering over Absinthe. Gosh, he's too mad to even retort!

He's going to attempt to skewer him with the pointy end of his staff.]

ABSINTHE

[idolpro]

Re: ABSINTHE

[innerdaemons]

[ he doesn't want to stop touching Zodiark so he is skewered -- and is actually pinned to the crystal with it. thankfully though, with access to his powers from home it doesn't stop him or even break his concentration. he barely even flinches as the weapon sinks into him and with a twitch of his free hand his own royal weapons are aiming to plunge their way into Emet-Selch's form, with a roll of 3. ]
