idolpro | Ascian's Ideal World: First Run

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 yet to decide what I'm here for.

[He's just gonna be direct and place the crystal on the table. He leaves his hand on it, just in case.]

What do you think of this?

'Tis a crystal, a potent one, of almost impossibly perfect aetherical alignment.

What would you do with it if you had one for yourself?

Fashion you a charm of protection to wade of a deadly blow. If the monsters born of fear are allowed to roam free, you will need the protection.

You'd protect me? Really? Forgive me if I am less than flattered.

[Is that why he was supposed to give it to them though...?]

Yes. We made our peace, Thancred Waters. Though I'm not sure why you came back here. I would imagine you would be busy with your own stars.

[Don't use my full name that's weird??]

What are you talking about? When exactly did we make peace?

[He sighs.]

With our combined abilities of those in Hell, we did find a way to cleanly split the timelines. You have yours where you and your scions can be guardians, and I have mine. Ever are we able to travel between, but there is no longer any animosity.

Is that so? Because the last I was aware, I had rejected that plan.

Are you aware this is an illusion?

You did for a time.

Why would it be an illusion?

[I'm trying to get shit done in here and THE APOCALYPSE KEEPS HAPPENING.]

--Because it hasn't happened. This is nothing but a fantasy. And one, I might add, that is failing!

I'm beginning to wonder if nothing will satisfy you.

[He picks up the crystal and holds it out to him.]

Do you want the protection device or would you rather keep it as it is?

[Just. Rolls his eyes!]

I'll take it. But I'd rather you listen to me.

[He fashions it into an earring ---- at least is isn't a necklace! --- and hands it to him.]

Yes, yes, I know. You want me to abandon my people at their moment of need because this is a fantasy.

[At least it isn't a necklace!! He still doesn't trust it so he's going to just hold it in his hand and make a face at it.]

That's right. Obviously any reality where I'm being agreeable is a false one. Do you not know me better by now?

[That has him pausing and then sighing.]

Most times I truly do not understand you.

Oh, good. I'm beyond immortal ken.

Why are you really here, Thancred?

As I said. To tell you that you're dreaming. I am being helpful.

[Why is this the most legit argument so far?]

And if this isn't a dream? If I stand by and do nothing all will be lost.

That's true. Your people are dying, Emet-Selch. Again.

[Thancred crosses his arms, earring clutched in his hand.]

If it were real, do you honestly think I wouldn't be trying to save them myself? Would I be here alone?

Would you truly want to save them? Even if we split the timelines you fought for so long against them.

If I agreed to your plan, I would. I would save them even if I hadn't agreed to it. I would not abandon a people suffering in front of me, and neither would my comrades!

If that isn't convincing enough, I would never agree to go home while I still carry this--

[He yanks down the collar of his shirt, exposing his dumb hell tattoo of Lahabrea's mark. But before he can gripe more shit is HAPPENING AGAIN so--]

--Seven Hells, Emet-Selch, can you not even dream up a happy ending for yourself?!

[DO NOT USE LOGIC AGAINST HIM.]

Apparently not.

[UGH. It is an audible UGH. A sound of great consternation.]

Then I suppose I shall go solve your problems for you.

[He is going to go join the boss fight b y e]
