Notes

[idolpro]

Objective: Help Angel remember what she has forgotten (and what she does not know :) ) and then convince her to leave the Ideal World.

Hint: Something is "wrong" about each room. Each room must be "solved" to unlock ❔❔❔❔❔❔❔.

Powers: On
Perception Checks: Roll 2d6 every time you enter a room, get a 9 or higher and perceive something you might not have noticed. Can only roll once after you enter!

START - The Throne Room

[idolpro]

You find yourself in a cozy little throne room. Kind of!



By cozy, I mean a throne room that seems to be from the future! The walls and floor are smooth and clean, shining against the bright fluorescent chandelier hanging above. Tall, wide windows are spread around also, letting you look out into the snowy fields of Halation where people seem to have gathered. From the looks of the fun decor outside, there’s going to be a party!

Angel is sitting at the round table in the middle, folding one of the many paper cranes that are scattered throughout the room. She seems quite pleased with the work that’s been done so far. There’s also a bowl of plastic fruit. It’s very nice.There are several thrones for people to sit in if they so choose to.

The decor on the wall is also what you would expect it to be. Sheep paintings of various aesthetics, some pictures of a chicken, and one particularly large portrait of Future Is Now with a plaque on the bottom labelled “My Family”.

Around the room are several mechanical sliding doors, each with an electronic panel next to it. If you take a closer look, they all say the same thing:

Input Location:
>___________

There is a keypad for you to use as well. It seems you can choose where you want to go.

[hissterics]

[ Warring impulses between claiming a throne and being rude as hell.

Being rude wins out as she just hops directly up onto the table near where Angel is working, crouching there as she picks up a paper crane to inspect. ]

Uh, what is all this?

[ Roll: 2, 5 ]

Re: START - The Throne Room

[firststone]

[ I only rolled an 8 SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR!!

sliiides into a throne next to Angel's ]

Hi, Dusk.

Re: START - The Throne Room

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Perception check FAIL: 8 ]

[Sits down in whatever throne is closest to Angel]

And what could you be possibly wishing for?

Re: START - The Throne Room

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ takes a seat at the table near Angel. ]

Heyyy, Angel. There some kind of celebration in the works?

[ Roll: 5 + 6 = 11 ]

Re: START - The Throne Room

[learntofly]

[ rolls: 4, 2

Well of course she's gonna stop to check on Angel first, leaning over to inspect the already completed cranes curiously ]

Are you hoping to get a wish?

Re: START - The Throne Room

[cw_suicide]

[... crazy, the things you come into when you're late with Starbucks. chances are more likely late with whiskey but y'know.

better question: why are lights flickering?]

Ehhh... is this supposed to be strobes for the party?

[rolled a 4?]

Sheep Field

[nohalation]

You open the door right into a grassy field where sheep are grazing. As you feel the gentle wind blow right past you, you realize there isn’t much to be seen here really. There are a few trees scattered here and there, and of course there are plenty of sheep for all to pet or hug, but otherwise, it’s just a simple field that seems to go on forever. Everything is so wide and open, it feels like you can go anywhere and nothing can stop you! What’s at the other end of the field? Who knows!

The sky is still quite bright, even as the sun begins to set.

It’s peaceful here.

Re: Sheep Field

[firststone]

[ I critfailed the perception check.

can I immediately turn around and go back to the throne room. ]

COURTYARD

[nohalation]

The first thing you’ll notice when you step outdoors is that it’s snowing outside! Despite this, it’s extremely crowded out there. There are a lot of people mulling about in fancy clothing and you might actually recognize all of them! After all, they contain most everyone in Imeeji, past and present! You’ll also find some people you might not recognize (some of them are really strange characters that look like mushroom gijinka), but they’re all getting along. They’re laughing and mingling together, entertaining themselves as if they’re waiting for the main attraction to start.

The main attraction, by the way, seems to be a party. There are balloons hanging up everywhere, and sparkly banners strewn about which really matches with the white snow. Tables of candy and desserts are all out for people to snack on, and of course, there’s some champagne for people to try.

Seems fun!

Re: COURTYARD

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Is there an Angel here, too?

If not, he's going to grab the nearest party goer]

So what exactly is this all about?

[One Room Complete.]

[nohalation]

[For everyone outside of the Throne Room, the lights suddenly shut off, but they quickly come back on and everything is fine (ish)!

For those in the Throne Room, however, it remains completely dark. The chandeliers remain turned off, and the windows are suddenly covered. If you were holding Angel's hands or touching her in any way, you can feel her pull away and suddenly, you feel as if her presence is gone.

The only thing that is lit up are the input screens by the doors. They aren’t bright enough to illuminate very far, unfortunately so you can’t really see where everything is.

There are foot steps that can be heard, but you’re not sure where they are coming from.]

[learntofly]

Angel?!

[ Okay but does she still have the origami papers ]

Re: [One Room Complete.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ uh fuck ]

—Angel?!

Re: [One Room Complete.]

[firststone]

[ SATISFYING.

she vaguely remembers where she put all the thrones so assuming they haven't moved she can probably get back to one of the input screens without tripping and eating shit on accident this time

types in "home" ]

Re: [One Room Complete.]

[cw_suicide]

[from here

... welp.

taking the paper back.

tucking it away in a pocket where it's... probably gonna be wrinkled but not ruined.

and fumbling around to that computer console.]

Future is Now

[nohalation]

As one would expect of a unit named future is now, their dorm is all modern futuristic—white with silver chrome. The furniture is all geometric shapes, as if drawn up with a very crude 3D modeling program, and all the lights are glowing cubes (that you can change the color on!). Their central table just a silver cube, with several smaller white cushion-topped cubes for chairs clustered around it. The regular looking couch seems to stick out from the rest of the modern furniture but it does look waaaaay more comfy than the rest of it. Beds in the bedroom touch only one wall, and don't touch the floor at all.

Truly, the future is now.

Re: Future is Now

[firststone]

[ I GOT A 9 ]

THE TEMPLE

[nohalation]

It isn’t what you might expect of a temple. In fact, it’s more like an aquarium. A pretty weird Aquarium.




Though that is only one of the creatures floating in the sea behind the glass, there are other less scary looking creatures along with it! Cute little fishies and little octoplops and a random scuba diver maybe, who knows!

But more importantly, the temple maiden is there. A familiar face? Or . . . ?

Re: THE TEMPLE

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he walks in with catte in tow.

he stops when he sees who the "maiden" is. ]

R—

[ well, no, she clearly isn't red. ]

Wadanohara...?

[ Roll: 4 + 5 = 9. NAILED IT. ]

The Stage

[nohalation]

You find yourself backstage! If you take a peak through the curtain:



That's. A lot of people.

They're all cheering! For you! The rainbow lights in the audience are bright like a sea of stars and a thought crosses your mind.

"I want them to be happy."

Poptastic music is playing in the background at a loud, earthumping pace, and you can feel your own feet wanting to dance. But you're still backstage. There are clothes hanging for you to get dressed in, water for you to drink as you need, and a bunch of people running around as they get the next song ready. It's hectic back here.

Re: The Stage

[cw_suicide]

[... I'll take Worst Nightmares For People Riddled With Social Anxiety And Self-Loathing for 200.

i-ignoring the clothes and moving to peer around out at the crowd.]

Dusk-chan...?

[rolled a 7]

DINING ROOM

[nohalation]

[ You enter the Dining Room. A wall of incandescent lights burn against one wall, the other three nothing but mirrors set into steel frames like windows— all of them opening to reveal booze behind them. There's a large banquet table with leather chairs surrounding the table. The table is laid out with food, and plenty of it. This one has a spread that's filled with cooke meat, desserts, and whatever else you can imagine.

There are people sitting around the table: Intensity, Little Red, Man Eater, ☆, and Nemesis. One chair is empty.

It is important to note, you cannot recognize their faces very well. It's like staring at a watercolor that got drenched in the rain.]

Re: DINING ROOM

[learntofly]

...This isn't what I was expecting at all.

[ Gonna see if she can get weird washed-out Intensity's attention

Entry Rolls: 4, 6 ]

[Two Rooms Complete.]

[nohalation]

No one is currently in the throne room, but the lights do flicker back on.

If you stop by, you might see Angel in the corner of your eye, but she isn't there. Still, you feel like every so often, you catch the after-image of a person who isn't looking at you.

Angel isn't in this room.

[Three Rooms Complete 1/2]

[nohalation]

[There is a buzzing sound. No matter where you go, the buzzing follows.

Someone is watching you, but you're not sure who.]

[Four Rooms Complete 2/2]

[nohalation]

[Someone is watching you but you're not sure who.]

[Five Rooms Complete.]

[nohalation]

You find yourself in a dusty, old throne room.

By dusty, I mean a throne room that seems to be nearly falling apart! The walls and floor are splattered with old blood, becoming really noticeable when the lights above stop flickering. Tall, wide windows are spread around also, letting you look out into the snowy fields of Halation where people seem to have gathered. From the looks of the guillotines, it seems there will be some executions soon.

Angel is sitting at the round table in the middle, folding one of the many paper cranes that are scattered throughout the room. She seems to be blinking through tears with the work that’s been done so far, and there is quite a lot of work already completed. Her fingertips are bleeding. It’s not very nice. There are several thrones for people to sit in if they so choose to.

The decor on the wall is also what you would expect it to be. A completely blank wall with the exception of one particularly large portrait of an unhappy group of four. The are all figures with angel wings (minus a young boy with blonde hair, his seems to be missing), and underneath, there is a plaque labelled “My Family”.
