Requiem's Ideal World run #1

[idolpro]

It's dark... and a little cold.


Oh. You have a text-- wonder what that's about?


...


...


?


Hey, there's some junk in here that's not in the right spots. Take a good look around and fix that jazz. Everything's got a place or whatever.

No sense in hiding from yourself, right?







... what is this, a text for ants?

start - a cavern shaped like home

[idolpro]

you feel like you've just started on a grand adventure, as you walk forward from the darkness; there's a swell of pleasure in your chest as you see the little cottage, propped up on a deck above the cave lake, shallow enough to see the bottom from the shore. The lights inside are on, and a little white dog and a very large black dog snooze comfortably by the front door.

There's a chill in the air, but the whole place feels warm and homey inside, the sun and green grass of the world beyond visible through the open cave mouth.

Re: start - a cavern shaped like home

[hissterics]

[ Is "cozy and homey" a feeling she's ever truly experienced before, though?

She considers the surroundings for a long moment, tail flicking, before she just heads toward the cottage. ]

Re: start - a cavern shaped like home

[unbr8kable]

[Ah, she remembers this. And this time...well.

She takes a glance around, then calls out]

Hello? Anybody home?

Re: start - a cavern shaped like home

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ hmm. are either of those dogs familiar? ]

Re: start - a cavern shaped like home

[unbr8kable]

[Exiting the house, she does squint into the dark reaches of the cavern, however--no giant bat monsters or nothing?]

inside the house

[idolpro]

you enter into a small, cozy house.

it looks remarkably normal inside. there's a kitchen you can see through the doorway and breakfast bar, with some brownies piled up on a plate ready for taking.

against the wall, there's a ladder leading upstairs.

Re: inside the house

[hissterics]

[ WHAT IS A "NORMAL" HOUSE THOUGH

She looks around, brow furrowed, and calls out: ]

Uh, hello . . . ? Anybody around?

Re: inside the house

[unbr8kable]

[Huh... Somehow she hadn't expected it to be THIS normal.]

[...She'll come up to the kitchen, to sniff the brownies. Are they still warm? Are they red?]

Re: inside the house

[unbr8kable]

[This time around she IS going to grab a brownie--wrap it up and stuff that in the evidence(?) bag as well]

Last time there was a city. So maybe she's where there's more people. Or...

[Trails off]

marcy's bedroom

[idolpro]

Climbing up the stairs brings you into a room with much more personality than the downstairs. The bookshelves seem to be layered with old gifts and fanmail-- if you ever gave her something, it's probably there.

There's a desk by her bed and a closet half-propped open and dark inside.

Re: marcy's bedroom

[hissterics]

[ --Oh. Wait. The fanmail gives it away, finally. ]

Vampire girl--?

[ Now she gives a shit about this suddenly

Approaching the closet? ]

a song of adventure

[idolpro]

You leave the cave and walk into the sun. It's a beautiful day out; a girl with dark skin and long, black hair is perched on one of the rocks outside, plucking at a double-sided axe bass guitar and humming softly in tune with it. She looks... familiar, sort of; but maybe the blue flannel, star-printed leggings, and boots gives it away.



this was the only thumbnail i was able to finish shut up.


Off in the distance, you can see the looming buildings of a great city, partially shrouded in dark. The opposite way, you can see the towering castle and tree that make up the Candy Kingdom, bright and soft in the sunlight.

Re: a song of adventure

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ oh. there she is.

he's going to come over and sit down next to her on the rock. ]

Yo, Req.

Re: a song of adventure

[unbr8kable]

[Smiles at her, crooked and hopelessly soft; wow this is gonna suck]

...Hey.

Re: a song of adventure

[hissterics]

--There you are!

Re: a song of adventure

[unbr8kable]

On the return from Candy Kingdom, Nemesis isn't exactly sure if she can keep from being noticed, but she doesn't try to be seen--less to be sneaky, and more because she wants to see Req's demeanor--generally just watch her in the sunlight.

Re: a song of adventure

[unbr8kable]

Nemesis stays quiet for the most part, following Req’s lead to the cave and the house.

the candy kingdom

[idolpro]

You enter the Kingdom through the gates and are greeted by the (frankly) kind of dopey smiles of the Banana Guards and the silent looming of the Gumball Guardians, sedately blowing bubbles. Most of the candy people seem to greet you pretty warmly, too, and seem willing to chitchat.

There's a pathway directly to the castle.

Re: the candy kingdom

[unbr8kable]

[Looks around, warily; what are these people]

[While she'll continue to look around, she'll keep moving for the castle unless someone stops her...may as well rip the bandaid off]

the dark city

[idolpro]

this looks strangely like tokyo-f-- or maybe liar hell-- the sky dark and open but the streets brightly lit and bustling with neon colors and all sorts of people. Most of the city is brightly lit and visible, but there's some spots hidden in shadow that may be worth checking out... not to mention those posters pasted up every couple of buildings.

Once in a while you're greeted by someone, always friendly, always with some sort of corruption going on; a fan, perhaps? They seem willing to chat if you have a moment, but they don't try to actively stop you.

Re: the dark city

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ hmm. let's check out one of those posters first. ]

Re: the dark city

[unbr8kable]

She keeps her head on a swivel, wary. The people may get nods of acknowledgement, but first of all, she goes looking at the ubiquitous posters.

concert stage

[idolpro]

In one of the larger parks a performance stage has apparently been commandeered for a performance tonight, with some posters pasted around on the street outside:



There's already a comfortable crowd of vendors and fans milling about, talking amongst themselves-- some even wave at you with recognition.

Re: concert stage

[unbr8kable]

Huh...not a bad set up. Nemesis gives the odd nod at some of the people waving, but honestly isn't giving them a ton of attention--at least not individually. She more keeps an eye on the vibe of the crowd as a whole, and walks up closer to the stage, passing by the vendors.

Re: concert stage

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ would he recognize any of the waving people? ]
