Welcome!
The OPENING is where to start, but there are a couple things to note.
The OPENING is where to start, but there are a couple things to note.
Your characters will find that their powers only work near the end. I'll let you know when powers will start to work! Characters will be given both a mask and a lightstick—if you try to get rid of either, they will be replaced within a second. They will also have whatever items they brought in with them.
Secondly, this will be ICly apparent fairly easily and also very early, but your character will be able to find many different characters. I won't be able to NPC them all so we might get a little vague!! You are free, and a little encouraged, to go look around.
Characters will be told ICly in the OPENING what they need to do, but they won't be told about how things will sometimes feel wrong. This will be a sudden, very noticeable feeling, in red! Generally, what they need to is get Wataru to say goodbye. Having him willingly leave will work too, but that's the better outcome. This will be ICly known once you're out of the opening area.
Also there is a sense of urgency ICly with regard to timing, but don't worry about that OOCly!
Finally, tags are going to come from bothstagename and
regale don't worry about it.

OPENING.
Literally. It’s the first sense you regain, the faint smell of roses everywhere. When you open your eyes, they’re also the first thing you see. Arrayed in every direction, in every imaginable shade, it looks like they go on forever and ever. The sky is shimmery and bright, faint colours of the rainbow spreading across it--it doesn’t look anything even close to natural, and the clouds all look like cotton candy, wafting across the sky.
The only place spared roses is a brick bridge and, at the end of it, a castle.
You’re not alone, though. There’s someone else with you, holding a clipboard and a long, long scroll--so long it falls off of the clipboard and rolls across the ground. The person with you is fairly tall, but their features are simple and forgettable. The only exceptional part about them is that they’re wearing a mask. It doesn’t cover a lot of their face, so their expression is pretty readable.
They are smiling, but also they look like they have a job to do!
The bridge happens to be leading across… an abyss of rainbows, to end up on the doorstep of an equally colourful castle. For some inexplicable reason, it is lightly raining feathers across the sky.
You can hear faint music that sounds like … it sounds like pop music, actually? Coming from the castle. There’s also the occasional light reflected on different parts of the castle or against the clouds, as if there’s some kind of show being held within.
Anyway, the person with the clipboard is talking to you, shoving a glowstick into one of your hands and a colourful mask into your other hand. ]
Welcome! Welcome one and all to the greatest show on earth!
Oh, you're late, but that's okay! The main event might have ended already, but there should be enough time to get you up to the stage if we hurry!
Here, here... let me check... there's only a few names left unchecked, so that must be you! Okay, give me your name and we'll get started...
Re: OPENING.
.... Senpai. What exactly was the main event?
Re: OPENING.
[ They seem to be looking through the list, and then making sure that he gets his mask (it can be whatever you want) and his glowstick, then gestures behind them, towards the bridge. ]
It was a live! Actually, I think it's still going, but you definitely won't make it in time. Anyway, you're here for a different reason! You've got to make the big center stage guy say goodbye, alright? Actually, as long as he leaves here somehow it's fine, but you'll do a lot better if you can manage that.
Re: OPENING.
[ Taking this mask and just like. ... does he have to wear it properly? ]
That seems suspiciously easy. He a real stubborn type?
Re: OPENING.
Oh, the worst. Or sometimes he's very easy to convince...? I don't know, you'll just have to see for yourself. Just go straight through here and then keep going straight! All the way to the stage! Remember that!
Re: OPENING.
Sure. To the stage, then. Toodles.
[ He'll amble on in the direction he was pointed to. ]

Re: OPENING.
Re: OPENING.
. . . No. No way.
Re: OPENING.
[ GESTURING TO THE BRIDGE. ]
I'm trusting you on a mission, okay? You have to make the guy in there say goodbye! Or just leave, if you can't manage the first part.
Re: OPENING.
Can't I just kidnap him?
Re: OPENING.

........................................ ]
He'd like that sort of thing, so it should be fine! Well, just remember—along this path, all you have to do is go straight! All the way up to the stage! Just straight!
[ They're gesturing across the bridge over here! ]
Re: OPENING.
She holds the items given to her, while trying to follow along with everything. ]
Oh... what am I supposed to do on the stage?
[ That didn't exactly give her name but give her a moment. ]
Re: OPENING.
Here's the thing, you'll do just fine if you make the person you're performing for say goodbye. Getting him to leave this place will work fine too, but that's the big one.
Re: OPENING.
Umm... I'll do my best? [Aha]
My name is Kaguya.
Re: OPENING.
Just remember to go straight. All the way. If you go in a straight line, you'll definitely end up at the stage pretty quickly.
[ They're gesturing to the bridge that leads over here...! ]
