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).

My.

[ even Absinthe cannot hold back a genuine sort of awe at the size of the crystal, tipping his head up to try to take in a sense of its enormity. ]

This ... structure, it is truly Him?

[ he speaks to Emet-Selch as he steps closer towards it. ]

It is. Our Lord and Savior. His Grace.

And this world continues on out of His mercy, hmm?

[ is whatever they're standing on close enough to Zodiark he can touch the crystal. it's meant to look like a reverent gesture. ]

It does.

[You are a very, very, very bad person.]

I can only hope He is merciful enough to forgive.

[ Absinthe's hand is somewhat obscured from Emet-Selch's view, with his back to him -- but there's the miasma of the scourge coming from his fingertips, his palm pressed tight to the crystal. he was curious; with the similarities "Zodiark" had to the Astrals from his own home -- if he could twist Him the way he corrupted Ifrit, a mindless being a slave to Absinthe's will. ]

What do you mean?

[Emet-Selch won't notice the first intrusion. He really does trust you, asshole.

And he can corrupt him. He's simply aether, just lots and lots and lots of it.]

[ good thing his best friend in all of Imeeji trusts him so much! he'll keep at it, though it takes more time to corrupt a more immense being compared to the average footsoldier. are there any memories or experiences contained in the aether, or is it too new of a summoning for that? ]

Oh -- you know what sort of atrocities I have committed.

[It has half a population, but this is a fake world so they don't come intact with all their memories, but they do have impressions, bits and pieces. It's not comfortable but given time (maybe a few boss battle rounds let's say!) he will be able to complete the transformation.

And Zodiark roars in response.]

[ well! he'll keep his dirty paws on Zodiark as long as he's able to. it's not like he's lacking for corruption to pour into it, after all.

at the yelling he smiles, sharp and unpleasant, not yet turning to look Emet-Selch in the face. ]

Come now. It would have been crueler for me to leave this facade standing.

[His reply is really just a snarl.]

How dare you!

[Please proceed to your turn]
