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?

Looks at her, curve of her mouth a little crooked. "In real life I already got better than I deserve."

And she drops her gaze again. "Anyways, I ain't the only person in here. So--it ain't all up to me. But...if I got the stuff, at least I can kinda--control it, maybe. At least...that's the plan."

"Well, you're free to do whatever you want," she says. "Have at it."

Re: the candy kingdom

[unbr8kable]

"Yeah, well. Sorry in advance, I guess."

And she hooks her thumbs in her pockets and makes to leave, probably to check out whatever part of the castle grounds she hadn't seen yet, then back towards scary city, since it seems. Ominous.

You head out into the Candy Kingdom streets to wander first, then.

the further you go, the more things start to look decrepit and ruinous-- you can smell the acrid tang of smoke, see the flames reaching over the edges of the building. you can see the sickly green clouds curling higher and higher, towards the sky, the howling faces of miserable spirits screaming in unison as they spread over the land.





huh, that was weird! when you blink, everything returns to normal. sure some of the candy buildings are a little crumbly, but it's a bit much to expect the gumdrop people and banana guards to keep up with this when they have other things to attend to.

Uhh. Seems bad?

She takes a little closer look through these obviously run-down scarytown areas, since. This.

Re: the candy kingdom

[stakesthesame]

Just looks like a normal building that hasn't be renovated in a couple years!

The locals are still pretty cheery though.

Re: the candy kingdom

[unbr8kable]

They don't seem to be affected by any green ghosts or anything...?

Re: the candy kingdom

[stakesthesame]

Nope.

Thinking about it, you're pretty sure that was a hallucination of some sort.

Re: the candy kingdom

[unbr8kable]

Either way, seems bad?? She keeps a better eye out as she continues through the streets. Not really certain what she is looking for, but...maybe she'll know it when she sees it. Or feels it, at least...

Re: the candy kingdom

[stakesthesame]

You continue through the streets of the Kingdom until you end up close back to where you started, with no other issues.

Re: the candy kingdom

[unbr8kable]

...So. Is she going crazy or did she just fail her investigation check...possibly both??? Buuut, if it comes down to wasting time pixel hunting, it's going to be listening to her own tape, let's be real. So--fuck it, she'll leave the kingdom and return to the crossroads...anyone still there?

just requiem, peacefully humming.
