Hiryuu Ideal World {Session 3}

[idolpro]

WELCOME TO IDEAL WORLDS: ANCIENT PSEUDO-KOREAN DRAGON GODS EDITION.

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.

You find yourself standing in an empty grass plain. The sky overhead is a peerless blue; the sun beaming down is pleasantly warm and the air smells fresh and wild--like the grass growing underfoot and the nearby pine trees. There’s a wooden sign post next to you and three dirt roads leading north, east, and west. To the North there appears to be a large complex—perhaps a castle? Or just a great city with fortifications? To the East, there is a large, dense looking forest. And to the West there appears to be a village off in the distance.

Notably, you will find that you, yourself, are wearing some very different clothes—albeit in your unit/personal colors. You’ll find all of your technological gizmos and gadgets are, strangely, useless here: although your phone very briefly displays the game's rules (which simply instruct you that you must get Hiryuu, the occupant of this space, to agree to leave before time runs out) it will quickly power down and will not restart again...

Hmmmm. [Northstar lightly tugs at the bronze-colored robe she's wearing.]Not bad.

[Well, first things first, she cups her hands to her mouth.]

HIRYUU, GET OUT HERE AND WAKE YOURSELF UP RIGHT NOW!

[Always try the direct route first.]

is no response. ]

[Hey there, new paladin. There is someone approaching who looks like the spitting image of Seto. If he was born like 3,000 years later and in Japan]

What's the phrase? Simple is best.

Re: START

[polarislight]

Seto.

[Beat.]

You look pale. Are you feeling alright?

Re: START

[crossmyheartandhope]

Man... worth a try, huh?

Re: START

[polarislight]

[Harumph.]

She's really going to make us crawl all over creation to wake her up. Right after wandering into that portal. I'll give her such a pinch for this.

Re: START

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well someone here is completely out of their element. Takes a look at the sign post to see if the castle or the village are named or not]

Re: START

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ The sign lists the castle is Kouka Castle. The village's name is "Senri." ]

Re: START

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Glances around the field a little - glances down at his phone]

...get Hiryuu outta here, huh? Guess we better start looking.

Re: START

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So.

How much do you know about Hiryuu's past? I only know she's a princess and something about dragons.

Re: START

[crossmyheartandhope]

I know she traveled some, with a bunch of her friends. And I know things kinda went sideways in her kingdom, and with her dad.

Re: START

[puzzlekeeper]

Ah . ..

[ Eyeing the castle on the skyline ]

This has to be Hiryuu's . . .

[ That's also Obviously where he's gonna start heading. ]

Re: START

[polarislight]

King.

[Northstar calls out to him.]

Is that where she is?

Re: START

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He pauses in surprise and then picks his way over to her. ]

I don't know, exactly.

Hiryuu's past in that castle is -- complicated. But if this is her idea of a perfect world . . .

She must be.

Re: START

[crossmyheartandhope]

You think she's gonna be there?

Re: START

[puzzlekeeper]

It's possible.

In a "perfect" world -- she would still be there with her family, right?

Re: START

[idolpro]

to get to the castle, you must first pass through...

Re: START

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[I mean, castle is the obvious choice. Why would you waste your time with anything else when coming to a foreign land?]

Seems the most logical place for the ruler to be.

Re: START

[puzzlekeeper]

Maybe. Hurricane has a good point, that she might be out among her people, but . . .

I think she'd want to be with her family, too.

Re: START

[polarislight]

We'll be best off if we spread as wide a net as possible. King and Seto are heading to the castle. Hurricane is heading to the village. I'll look through the forest.

We come back to this plain to meet back up at sundown. If we find Hiryuu, we try to wake her up, or failing that, at least bring her back here so we can handle it as a group.

Any objections?

Re: START

[puzzlekeeper]

[ . . . ]

Seto . . . ?

Re: START

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sounds good to me, dude.

Re: START

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh]

Of course.
