Hiryuu Ideal World {Session 3}

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.

Dude... I would never.

I just... I dunno what happens if we don't get you out. Okay? I'm worried about you.

...

I'm not saying that I believe what you're saying is true, but... it seems like you believe it. You're not the kind of person who would intentionally lie to me. Do you have some kind of proof of what you're saying?

I mean... the stables are real weird?

And all the everything out in the fields're fake.

Wait... what do you mean--the stables are weird, and everything in the fields are fake?

Like... there ain't no horses, and the woods all rotten.

And all the veggies and grain are just... fake. Like, they're plastic and silk.

I don't believe it.

[ not that she thinks Hurricane is lying but ]

Is C up to his old tricks again!?

[ marching off in the direction of the stables to investigate. ]

[Trailing after her]

I dunno, dude. This is pretty large-scale, even for C.

If he did anything to the horses, I'm gonna give him a noogie.

[ throwing open the stable door ]

[ and. it's so much worse than anything she was expecting, she physically recoils. ]

... What happened here?

I dunno. It looks fine outside, but it's just... like this.

I figured I'd see if you had a horse here or something, cause I was trying to find you, but... yeah.

My horse... is at the castle; I walked here. This stable is for everyone else... at the very least, Amaranth's and Cardinal's should have been here.

...

Let''s go check the fields.

Yeah... c'mon.

[He reaches out to take her hand to lead her there, to where he found the fake crops before]

[ she'll take his hand and go with him. ]

Where are they? The fake crops.

Right here.

[He kneels by the gourds and raps on them]

[ She kneels down beside him and picks it up. ]

... I don't believe it. These.... they were real!

[ she reaches up to her necklace again, and her facial expression evens out some again, but--not as much ]

This has to be one of C's pranks.

You think he could get all of it? Like - all the gourds, and all the grain? It was like... everything I checked, dude. He does pranks, but he doesn't do stuff like this.

[He's quiet for a beat, and then another. Then, softly:]

What even were you guys eating? At the party, I mean.

[ Ah, right!! The party food!!!! ]

I hadn't had any yet because my performance is coming up soon--let's go see!

[ RUNNING BACK INTO THE VILLAGE, SURELY WE WILL FIND FOOD AND EVERYTHING WILL ALL BE CLEARED UP AS A TERRIBLE MISUNDERSTANDING ]

Ah - yeah. Let's go see.

[Follows her back into the village, heading toward wherever the cooking smell seems to be coming from]

[ She leads him over to a large vat with a heavy lid on top--it smells of some kind of grain, chicken, rice, and herbs. Smelling it makes your mouth water. ]

Do you smell that?! There's definitely lots of food inside. Help me lift the lid!

Ah - yeah. You got it, dude.

[He goes to lift the lid off the pot. It might looks heavy, but it's just a pot lid. How heavy could it be?]

[ heavy enough that it needs them both--it's QUITE a large pot, mind you, enough to feed several dozen people, and the lid is made of stone and wood. It's also been sitting on top of this fire for a while so they have to be careful so it won't burn them.

the inside of the pot

is empty. ]

No...

[ The locket

begins to melt from the heat of the fire, droplets of bronze dripping and dribbling down into the empty vat. As it does, tinges of red start to return to the ends of her dark hair. ]

...Hiryuu?

Jesus - be careful!

[He reaches out to snatch the locket off her before the melting metal can burn her]

Edited 2020-08-05 05:18 (UTC)

[ The locket dissolves in his hand, possibly burning him as it does. And instantly--Hiryuu's hair, and her corruptions--they're all back to the way they were before. ]
