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).

[after having seen vergil in his demon form for a while now, a thought occurs to raven. he takes a step back and focuses, feeling aether and magic all around him]

"No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings..." Come forth!

[there's a flash of purple lightning, and suddenly a large bird(?) is resting on raven's outstretched arm, shaking his feathers out and speaking in a rough accent while flapping his wings]

Took ya long enough, princess. Hey, hey, gimme a sec to stretch my wings out before we roast these idiots. Hnnnrgh, nnnnnnhhrrrr, okay, there we go! Yeesh, I need to get out more. Oh well, time for planning later! Right now, IT'S BARBECUE TIME, BABY!

[and as griphon flaps his wings, a series of purple lightning bolts strike down from the sky and strike at lahabrea--with a 6]

[if he had any time to flirt madly right now he would be doing so but just know he's definitely noting how cool Raven and his birb are being.]

[love u 2 babe]

[oh my god]

[griphon squawks]

What are you lookin' at, tough guy?!

[NO, IGNORING THE BIRD, got some untempering to do.]

[ ABSOLUTELY WASTED

but even though she is just on the ground and can't even stand yet she still LAUGHS AND LAUGHS AND LAUGHS AND LAUGHS AND ]

Lend me your crystals, let me bring down another!

[Hey do you need some HELP THERE.]

I'm afraid mine's used up, but that was quite impressive. Do you need a hand?

Ahhh, I will rise. He is watching over me, so as ever, I will rise again. Am I not blessed?

[ she may or may not have like a billion broken ribs or something but 2/3 of her limbs are still intact enough that she starts pushing herself up ]

...Blessed. If you say so.

[he has no idea what she's talking about but he's going to heal her because he approves of anyone who blade of lights an ascian]

[ oh cool ]

It is not I who says so.

[ she gets up with a lot less trouble thanks to the healing, though her cannon-arm is still kind of destroyed from the blast. she brushes her hoodie off with her remaining hand, which does absolutely nothing of merit to get any dirt or blood or whatever off of it ]

My gratitude is yours, stranger. Your face precedes you.

[well emet probably regrets giving him that earring! because he's pivoting the second the lightshow stops to try and shieldbash bread AGAIN. this time with a roll of 5]

[WELP that sure happened! Thancred is Fine due to his dumb earring but now it is gone. At least it didn't get him possessed whoo! On the other hand, now he doesn't get to stab ascians with crystals either and that's very sad because he hasn't done that enough in his life.

...But he's currently most worried about everyone else who might be flattened by Ultima. He could go attack but other people are on that and he's not going to be hurting these dudes with kitchen knives.]

By the Twelve--

[jumps down right about now, gracefully, smooths down his skirts as he lands and what kind of fresh hell did he just arrive in, moving his parasol from over his shoulder]

[Cardinal rolled a 6 so possibly they managed to reduce their damage with stabheals, but they're still out of commission this turn.]

[fffffffffffuck okay, Emet-Selch just ate shit and so did almost everyone here, cool cool. Guess we're defending Absinthe then.

He lets go of Raven, teleports to Lahabrea, and instead of truly attacking, he stabs him through the gut (6), just once, because he means to use Yamato's power. If it can separate a human half from a half-demon, then can it undo a tempering? That's the plan, anyway!]

[The purple fog has cleared and Emet is on his hands and knees vomitting out what looks to be .... light?

Upon seeing Lahabrea get surrounded, he does summon up spears to the best of his ability while still prone. He flings them at all combtants ... with a 1.

Also Absinthe, you now have control of Zodiark. You are now a planet. Moving up!]

[Lahabrea is shield-bashed! And also lightning'd. It certainly has him reeling back several steps from the Exarch's attack, and while arcane magic keeps him from crumbling at lightning is makes him stagger.

Right back into Vergil's blade.

For a moment he is frozen, impaled, and then it... Just works. No one but Emet-Selch can see it really, but the tempering is cut from his soul, and he does react. Eyes wide in shock, he falls forward to the ground, dropping to his knees and staring vacantly at nothing, completely in his own world of trauma.]

??? what will you do?

[He doesn't even bother to dodge the spears, because as Lahabrea starts to fall to his knees, Vergil's focused on catching him. That reaction does seem like it was effective. So he needs to hold onto him.

Which means folding himself and his wings around Lahabrea to form a shield. And trying to teleport out of here with him, back to the Akadaemia, if it's possible.]
