Hiryuu Ideal World {Session 2}
Your character's primary goal will be to convince Hiryuu to leave her ideal world. This is ICly known.
For the bulk of your character's journey (perhaps, even, the entire journey, depending on what they do along the way) your character will not have access to their unit's powerset. Please see the START for more IC information. Depending on how you go about your quest you may or may not encounter dangers or traumas.
Any items that your character had on their person before entering the game will remain with them for the duration of the game! However, all technological items will cease functioning before they leave the start area. Please see the START for more IC information.
In order to provide some guidance, key components / places are bolded, but just because something isn't in bold doesn't mean you can't interact with it. Go wild!
Your channel and ping for the duration of this game are both #/@dragonworld; please join your runner in the chan by typing .iam dragonworld in the roles-assignment channel. If you have any questions, or whenever your character is making an action/moving or otherwise needs gamerunner attention, you can ping me there.

she
pauses and it's more significant this time, and her face--almost looks troubled. she reaches up to touch her locket and--her expression smooths back from one of confusion to one of concern. ]
It's a skin condition right? I noticed both you and Shuten have it. But... I thought it would be really rude for me to comment on it. It doesn't hurt you, does it?
no subject
Give him a moment his master just called his hand a skin condition.]
no subject
[ she cups his face in both hands ]
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
[ the other warriors seem concerned. even hak. ]
no subject
There is nothing more important to me than you, my friends, and Miss Wednesday.
And after that, my greatest pride is my position as one of the four dragons.
[ This is fine. It is fine. He cups her cheek back and rests his head against hers. ]
You've been through a lot, haven't you? You were chased from the castle, and have lost people important to you along the way. You're under a great deal of pressure, and I am, in part, responsible for some of the burden and pressure that weighs heavy on your spirit.
[ Kissing either side of her cheeks. ]
You are scared for us.
The responsibility as the Red King frightens you, doesn't it...? I am sorry, master. I can only imagine how you must worry. You know about the lifespan of us dragons, how people have come to take notice of us...
But I would not desire to change a single thing. I love you. And I am so happy... I am eternally blessed to have you in my life, and to have been chosen as the White Dragon. In my heart, I know that the previous dragons fought hard so that we would have this opportunity.
Perhaps in an Ideal World we would never experience loss. But the sad things in our life help shape us to become who we are today. We cannot turn away from these things.
[ Pulling her into an embrace. ]
I know this may not make a lot of sense to you right now. But the lives we have lived, the experiences we have faced together... I don't want to change a single thing. Without them, we would not be who we are today.
no subject
[ there is--the tiniest note of alarm and, yes, like he said--fear--in her voice. her hand slips up between the two of them to touch her necklace again. again, it disappears. ]
There aren't any dragons... and I haven't lost anyone. I think you should maybe go lay down...
no subject
Master...
Please try to remember.
[ If only his claw...
He closes his eyes, channeling warmth and power into the scaled hand. This is a dream, right? And if it's a dream, you can do anything in dreams. He has no idea if it will work, but... just as at home, he will try and grow his claw, and allow the power of the White Dragon to swell inside him again.
If he is at all able. But he genuinely prays to the dragon gods that they will help him out, even just in a small manner like this. Otherwise, if willing his hand to grow doesn't work, then he will simply find another method. ]

return to him. And miraculously, his clawed hand grows in size and strength, the way he has always known it should. ]
no subject
Kija--what's happening to your hand?!
[ she lets go of her locket, mostly so she can press her hands to her mouth. ]
no subject
He positively BEAMS. ]
I told you, did I not? That I am one of the four legendary dragons. This is the power of the White Dragon God, which was bestowed upon me to protect and never betray you for all of my life.
[ Gently, he reaches out for her to touch it. ]
You are the reincarnation of Hiryuu. And these other men... with the exception of both the Thunder Beast and Yoon, also possess powers granted to them by the heavens. They have been passed down in our bloodlines for thousands of years, so that one day...when you would call upon us again, we could faithfully serve at your side once more.
no subject
[ she shakes her head, hard, but her voice sounds weak--her locket jangles making a discordant sound as it does. perhaps--the chain is not too good, or the clasp is not very strong? but with the force of shaking her head, it falls
and cracks
not wide open, but--enough that in doing so a red light shines out from inside it and--a few of locks of that red, red hair he claimed she had reappears. ]
no subject
[She's been trying not to.
[She didn't know why. It was just - she didn't know. Something about this place, the intimacies they'd shared, everything seemed to demand the real name, the secret one, the one Hiryuu had given her when she was at her lowest ebb...
[And yet - that was her name, wasn't it? It was the name Wednesday would call in greeting, in danger. It just slipped out.
[Hiryuu.]
no subject
He reaches down to grasp it in his claw. ]
Master. Even you cannot deny what is right in front of you.
[ Drawing it to his heart. ]
I am sorry. I know it is painful, but please do not avert your eyes. You are the princess, my master. You were chased from the palace and found the four dragon warriors, and together we have traveled to numerous locations, facing both happiness and sadness along the way.
[ Both in Imeeji and outside of it. ]
My memories of travel with you and the things we have experienced together at home and in Tokyo-F are my most treasured memories. Please face them head-on, and do not allow the producers to pull a mask over your head. Do not turn away.
[ Careful with the locket, he moves to open it up completely. ]

That--it was just a codename, not--
[ she--seems to lose her place, thoughts scattered, memories--disjointed. she looks to Kija ]
No, that's not....
It was just a nightmare.
[ wasn't it? ]
no subject
not uncoincidentally, her hair--is just as red now as it always was, and her hair, her horns, her scales--
and the memories and horrors that accompanied them
all come flooding back. ]
no subject
[ There’s a sudden
And terrible sound coming from basically all around you. Four of the men are suddenly, clearly, in the throes of some terrible agony, falling from their seats and writhing in pain as old wounds from battles fought long before--suddenly reappear, opening up as though someone on SensitIV decided to pick them apart. Only Kija--whose simulacrum has disappeared--does not bleed.
Yoon frantically goes from one to the next, trying to help them each—blood is pouring from their mouths and noses and wounds that seem to be opening up all over their skin from nowhere. Hiryuu stands perfectly still and quiet, taking in the horror in front of her helplessly. ]
no subject
[Claps a hand over her mouth.
[And it's true, isn't it? It has to be true. Because no matter how horrified she might be? This girl isn't quite horrified enough. She's learned to catch herself, to hold herself together: to think, no, this isn't so bad as such-a-time and such-a-time and such-a-time-- she's learned that sometimes you have to force fear down, keep a lid on it, and carry on.
[Because Wednesday's pep!, and she's used to this: to seeing people break, then fixing them.
[Because she looks, right now, like someone who still thinks there's something she can do.]
1/2
Eyes growing wide in horror, he watches as the shadows of his friend bleed and tear apart before his very eyes, claw lifting to his mouth as his stomach turns sickeningly.
It takes a great deal to stand there and watch it all happen without reaching out to them. But he knows... they aren't real. They are simply dreams... illusions of the people he loves and cares about so deeply. ]

Hidden in her subconscious, she must still remember the truth.
