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).

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

You are in a large hall, one side of which contains an empty tank, the glass shattered. Whatever was in it was humongous, the size of a three or four story building at least, it’s gone now. If you were here before or are still here, you will notice that there are half as many people as there were. All the people here are hooded and robed in grey, with the same height and build, their masks the same. The only exception is a man in a black robe and red mask. The air is heavy with nervousness and dread, fear and grief is almost tangible.

The red masked man sits at a desk away from the tank. It is Lahabrea if you’ve been here or are still here, of course. His desk is piled with papers and crystals but he pays them no mind, looking lost in his own thoughts. What can be seen of him behind his mask is a wane face, tired and drawn. There is no longer a flurry of activity, the place seems oddly quiet, and footsteps echo in the large hall. Perhaps it would be best to speak softly.

The Aetheryte shard is near the entrance should you wish to teleport somewhere else.

[probably arrives at this point, though he can sense the...mood as soon as he steps in...and walks even more quietly, even more ghostlike, observing]

Re: EVENT 2

[temperedinpride]

Where do you go? There is Lahabrea, or other academics.

Re: EVENT 2

[forgottenmercy]

[other academics first, to see what they're looking at]

Re: EVENT 2

[temperedinpride]

They just seem to be milling, but they look at you and are friendly.

"Hello. Can we help you?"

Re: EVENT 2

[marsascending]

[ UH

UHHHHHHHH ]

Re: EVENT 2

[temperedinpride]

This is fine.

Re: EVENT 2

[crystallinelore]

[hm. scene shift.]

...It's happening, isn't it.

Re: EVENT 2

[temperedinpride]

"Soon, yes."

Re: EVENT 2

[crystallinelore]

...I shall see what I can do elsewhere. Best of luck.

Re: EVENT 2

[temperedinpride]

"If you are sure. Thank you, again, for your help."

Re: EVENT 2

[firststone]

What a bone-tired look you have.

Re: EVENT 2

[temperedinpride]

"Ah. One. Or is it Ao? I am tired. But it will be over soon."

Re: EVENT 2

[firststone]

Have we met, sir?

Re: EVENT 2

[temperedinpride]

"Of course? Has it been so long since you spoke with Cosmo?"

Re: EVENT 2

[auguryofinnocence]

[Zipping in with an Elidibus and a Raven under an arm and Yamato in the other!]

Lahabrea!

[Is he there? Is he also goopy? Vergil's voice is extremely distressed!]

Re: EVENT 2

[temperedinpride]

He isn't here! Paloma still might be though.

Re: EVENT 2

[selfpreservationist]

[holding onto vergil's BULGING DEMON BICEP and moving to take hold of elidibus so vergil has his arms free]

Re: EVENT 2

[firstworldproblem]

Elidibus is not looking well.

Re: EVENT 2

[selfpreservationist]

[moving to set him down on a bench somewhere]

We should have left you with your piano. It was lovely.

Re: EVENT 2

[auguryofinnocence]

[He's cursing not just under his breath, no Cosmo at the desk where he was before, he hates this!]

He's gone. I'm going in, are you coming?

Re: EVENT 2

[selfpreservationist]

Of course. Give me a second.

[he's setting elidibus somewhere comfortable]

There's nothing we can do for him like this.

Re: EVENT 2

[marsascending]

He just disappeared!

Re: EVENT 2

[auguryofinnocence]

Did he start oozing like Elidibus?

[Which is, the Ascian from the starting area who is now under his arm along with Raven, in case she didn't get his name. He's oozing Absinthe's nasty blood.]

Re: EVENT 2

[marsascending]

No, he just—looked very alarmed, cursed and vanished in a... shadowy cloud, and... eurgh, that's really... not good.

What happened? Clearly it wasn't all according to plan.
