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).

[The seat beneath you has no cushioning despite its elaborate appearance. It is not comfortable to sit on, but sit you must! A shade walks over to you clad in a graying hazy robe quite dissimilar to the people you met here first.]

May I sit with you?

[deicider]

[Smiles!]

Please. My name is Cardinal Chases Dawn.

[idolpro]

My name is Hythlodaeus… or so I can recall. This is but an illusion, a snapshot of the past of this city. I am but a shade, of no real substance. Not like the rest of the city here.

[deicider]

[Well, score. ]

You can speak. That's plenty of substance.

Why are you here?

[idolpro]

Most likely, Emet-Selch allowed a few stray thoughts to distract him while he was recreating me. "Hythlodaeus would surely realize the truth", he thought. We were that close as friends, after all... Even so, I am no more alive than the rest of Amaurot he brought forth from …. oh, wherever they came from.

[Also your number is called.]

[deicider]

Coming!

[Stands up slowly, making a production out of smoothing their clothes and flicking a hand through their hair to give them time for one last parting comment. They flash Hythlodaeus the crystal.]

What is this?

[idolpro]

Paperwork achieved!

You also now have access to the aetheryte system

Bureau of Administration

Capitol Building

Akademia Anyder

Main Plaza

"A powerful crystal with many uses. For both defense and offense and powering a variety of devices. Enough power run a city block for at least a year."

[deicider]

I see.

[Trots back once they have their stuff.]

I need to find Emet-Selch. Do you know where he is?

[idolpro]

You will find him at the Capitol.

[deicider]

Thank you.

... I got some advice before I came here. "Don't get caught". Do you know what that's about? What I should look for?

[idolpro]

Zodiark lies underneath the city, but only those of the Convocation know his exact location.

Do you know what Tempering is?

[deicider]

Um, no. What is it?

[idolpro]

When a Primal is created, their energy flows back to the summoner. And ever are their energies aligned. Their will as well. Forcibly. Ever will they be servants of Zodiark.

[deicider]

[whoops they did know what that was.]

I'll avoid that.

... It was good to meet you, Hythlodaeus. I'm sorry we couldn't speak under better circumstances. I should go find him.

[And once they've done their farewells, they'll head to the Capitol.]

[idolpro]

To the Capitol Building.
