Yvette's super fun spy simulator: Session II

[idolpro]

Objective: Convince Yvette to leave the Ideal World.
The following is ICly known:

• Unit abilities are off
• Yvette is actively trying to sabotage players
• One tactic is making interaction "pay for play," using memories, specifically those of Yvette. (max 5)
• False memories will not be accepted as Payment.
• Alternate Payment is negotiable, but will also result in forgetting what is paid (roll 1d6 with a score of 4 or higher for an accepted alternate payment)
• Use of force is highly inadvisable, and the condition for success is extremely low. Failure will result in a false memory.
• Your smartphone works, and can be used to document inconsistencies in the Ideal World.

tl;dr The more evidence you collect, the more convincing you are; memories can be used to fast track, but if they run low, you get mindfucked.
All things lost or received during the game will be reversed upon waking or within one IC day, at player’s discretion. The character does not know this ICly.

Boss Battle

Your dream dissolves into the soft rush of waves and the quiet hiss of fine sand beneath your feet. The colors are soft and transparent, like a faded watercolor painting. The sea is made of sheets of paper that disintegrate and flow around anything in its path, gentle as water. As it ebbs away, it leaves everything it has touched completely dry.

Standing on the shoreline is Yvette, in a razor sharp skirt suit in black and claret red, her hair slicked back into a severe bun. Her smile is unpleasantly smug, like a certain Producer who shall not be named. In fact, you get the impression that if you blamed her for all your misfortunes and heaped all your hatred upon her, she would welcome it gladly. After all, she has been against you since you arrived, wasn't she? Wasn't she the one who cut your beautiful dream short?

"You've found me."

[ He's irritated—angry, but the reasons behind it don't quite make sense. Was it only the dream that upset him? No, there's a reason he was pursuing her... ]

Finally. No thanks to those weird stand-ins you have around.

"Now, now. They're doing the best they can, Talon. And there's no need to be so grumpy. I thought you'd like that dream."

Re: Boss Battle

[iamverybadass]

It... It isn't a bad dream. But it is just a dream. You know that, right?

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

What makes you say so? State your case. Provide your logic.

Re: Boss Battle

[iamverybadass]

Your park is filled with astro-turf over concrete, the script in your acting room is unreadable, the books in your library only contain filler text, the "finished" paintings you have are poor copies of famous pieces, and you tried to hide Chrysanthemum's sheet music because it's painful to think of him.

Everything here is mere set dressing to sell a lie to yourself.

"That's very observant of you. What do you think of all that?"

Re: Boss Battle

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Knock. Knock. But no one's home.

I'm sorry.

Did he just beat King?

.... What?]

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

Yvette turns her eyes to the shore, letting him process that for as long as he likes.

Re: Boss Battle

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Give him like 2 minutes.

...

Okay, done.]

Oh.

You are clever.

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

"Did you like what you saw? It's just a taste of what I can do here."

Re: Boss Battle

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I assume you're the manager then?

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

"The one and only."

Re: Boss Battle

[firstworldproblem]

[Nostalgia. His critical weakness.

He sort of stands there dumbfounded for longer than is probably polite before he speaks.]

Yvette.

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

It's quite alright. She admires the "shoreline" while he takes as much time as he needs to process what he just saw.

"At your service."

Re: Boss Battle

[firstworldproblem]

A new role or in between?

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

"The completed version. Management. The Library Director. The one you would call the 'True' self."

Re: Boss Battle

[firstworldproblem]

Well, it is nice to see you, Yvette. I do need to inform you that this a game. And if you are willing, well, perhaps it is time we should leave.

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

"Leave? Whatever for? I'm free to study, work and practice as much as I please."

Re: Boss Battle

[worldlyafflictions]

[HEY EXCUSE WHAT JUST HAPPENED]

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

With each passing minute, she becomes even more self-satisfied, though she'll keep things to herself and admire the "waves" rolling ashore.

Re: Boss Battle

[worldlyafflictions]

Ohkay, anyway--hey Yvette-san it's time for you ta wake up too!

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

"Why should I? I can give people everything they want in this place."

Re: Boss Battle

[worldlyafflictions]

The satisfaction of figuring people out in real world situations? We'll both run outta that at some point.

Re: Boss Battle

[tradesecret]

Is that what you think this is?
