Requiem's Ideal World run #2

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?

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 shore of the cave lake. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

this looks strangely like tokyo-f-- or maybe liar hell-- the sky dark and open but the streets bright 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...

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.

[Heading over to the cottage]

...uh. Hello?

[...oh

just going to crouch down and pet the dogs a bit]

[ IT'S DOGS

stops by the front door, just kind of. hoverhandsing. hello dogs ]

[ IT'S A THIRD DOG

A DOG PETTING OTHER DOGS

DOGS CAN PET OTHER DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[DOGS! CAN PET!! OTHER DOGS!!!!!

doing a little doubletake upon seeing him]

...You're here too?

No answer.

But!! the dogs get up; the large one-- is that Lady?-- gives an excited BOOF, dancing a little in place, and the little white one just stands wagging his tail.

Yes—?

[ t. tilts his head ]

Should I not be?

[Bends over to pet the dogs, a little]

Hey, guys. How you doing?

I mean, it's Req's place. She probably won't be happy to see you here.

. . . Ah, well, I should have expected as much.

[ leaning to pet the dogs, giving the big one an extra few ear scritches ]

Are you taking a nap, Lady...?

That's to our advantage. We're here to wake her up, after all.

Mm, I guess.

Lady is VERY EXCITED for PETS and LEANING ALL HIS WEIGHT ON YOU!!!

The little white dog tolerates a couples of pats before heading inside through the dog door, evidently satisfied, and gives you a parting fart as he goes.

[ leaning on him a little ]

It's okay for you to pet them, isn't it...?

But I'm sure she won't want me to see anything, mm?

I'll just sit out here, then.

. . . If it's Requiem-san's dream, I shouldn't.

Edited 2020-08-08 19:28 (UTC)

They both get up, tails wagging, when you approach. YES!! PETS!!!!

The little white one is satisfied after a couple of pats, but just lays down again after.

Don't be an idiot. You're here, so you might as well help.
