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).

"I have it documented fairly well here, though I can answer questions."

He offers Absinthe a report detailing the phenomena of monsters from across the sea, always spawning after an instance of “the Sound”. The report notes that when the Sound causes terror, it also makes one lose control of their Creation magic. It further speculates that such unchecked powers of creation in combination with one's inner fears being heightened causes the fears to manifest. As the monsters become real, and those who are affected are unable to defend themselves without control of their powers, the fear spreads to those around them. The effects become exponential, and no city yet has withstood the cascade of Fear made manifest.

[ he goes through the reports -- it's all actually quite interesting as he had heard the broad strokes of what happened in Amaurot, but nothing quite so detailed. ]

And what of this "Sound?" Are you familiar with the source?

"We are still investigating the cause of the Sound. Frustratingly, its origin yet eludes us, and daily it seems new areas of the star are affected--but I get ahead of myself. It originated across the sea. When we went to investigate the cause and the disasters, I can only say…. I have never witnessed such horrors. My best surmise is that the terror it wreaks upon the heart causes an individual’s fears to manifest--and in the same instant robs one of all control of creation, letting loose the foulest manifestations of dread. Whatever the reason for this calamity, we must prevent its spread at all costs, for to fail to do so will surely be the ruin of this star."
