Rules & Information

[idolpro]

✦ Objective: Remove the Foreign Corruptions
✧ UNIT POWERS ARE OFF
✦ WARNINGS: Emotional manipulation, body mutilation, fighting (optional), potential injury, as well as aspects of survivor’s guilt and suicidal ideation.

✧ Combat is entirely OPTIONAL. Idols will not be able to use their unit abilities inside of her heart, HOWEVER, they will have a set of skills and abilities available to them based on the answers to the survey you did for me. You can view your skills as well as those of your party members here. It is possible to die within the Heart in the case that you do choose to engage with the combat aspects. However, it need not be permanent, there are also several means to revive those who have died within the Heart. Revived or not, dying in the Heart does have effects and consequences.

✦ Actions within the heart may have real effects, both on the True Heart and Serenity herself or the foreign influences that are currently residing there. Positive efforts will help slow the infection. Those actions which may cause Serenity distress however, may weaken the True Heart and allow the foreign influences to take hold more quickly.

✧ You will also have optional access to funds as well as the means to obtain funding reasonably within the Heart’s setting. I am not policing your use of the funds. Just keep your spending within some form of reason. Please do not emotionally bankrupt Serenity.

✦ If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! This is my first time running any format of game in Imeeji, so I don’t expect everything to work perfectly. What’s most important to me is that you all have fun with it. And there are no scores, so-- no pressure!

ARCUS II NETWORK

TEXT

[ruinatings]

TO: PHOENIX
It seems we've landed in the same predicament. Let's keep in contact, shall we?

TO: LILY
Hello. I don't believe we've met. And yet, I've been given your contact information, so I assume we're meant to work together if necessary. If you need help, do keep in touch.

UPDATE!

[overworker]

[ Everyone's ARCUS II units have been updated with both Lloyd and Tio's contact information! ]

SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (BEDROOM)

[idolpro]

[ The haze begins to clear. As you lay on what seems to be a very simple but comfortable bed, you open your eyes to the rest of a small bedroom. The curtains are drawn and yet a small stream of light slips through, allowing you to slowly get your bearings.

As you do, you notice the creeping hints of plant life throughout the room, small blossoms of yellow and white peaking through tiny cracks in the walls and floor, clinging to everything they can get a hold of. In fact, as you look down at yourself, you will see that the yellow variety has crawled up the legs of the bed as well.

They’re trying to get to you. It is not a voice, as much as it is an idea placed directly in your mind. Yet there is a lingering warmth-- a feeling of love and caring coming from the one who put it there.

It’s early morning-- 7 AM, according to the basic clock on the wall next to the bed. But with the hoard of yellow flowers growing around it, you almost have to wonder how much longer it will work.

Looking further around the room will show that the room itself is rather sparsely decorated, if you don’t include the intruding plant life. First you have the bedside table next to you

There is also a desk with a few framed photographs on it -- those have been completely overwhelmed by yellow flowers -- as well as a closet with a uniform hanging on it’s doorknob, all ready to go; neatly pressed and wrinkle-free. That is, if these white flowers were not clinging to it

...oh and don’t forget the bathroom.

When you're ready to leave, the exit is just across the room from the bed. ]

Re: SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (BEDROOM)

[ruinatings]

[Ah. An unfamiliar place, and yet one that jogs a memory somewhere in the back of his mind...

He's going to be nosy for a bit before leaving, of course. He's got to check what he has on him and everything he can reasonably see in the room. He's poking into the closet for one!]

Re: SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (BEDROOM)

[awakenerd]

[What are we in Trails in the Sky? Who has bathrooms.

He does swing his legs off the bed. Unfamiliar voices/thoughts in his head? Not that strange.

He's going to investigate the flower-covered photos.]

[failedsafe]

[let's carefully check the bedside table]

SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (HALLWAY)

[idolpro]

[ When you step outside the room, you see several other doors line the hallway. But it seems the only way they’re opening is if there’s someone on the inside to open it. You might be able to meet with others, if there are any.

Or if you’re on your own or feeling impatient, you can always press forward. The only way to proceed from here seems to be the stairwell. You have the option of going up to the roof, or down to the main floor. ]

Re: SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (HALLWAY)

[ruinatings]

[Time to... go up, he supposes? He's curious about the other doors but not enough so to wait.]

[failedsafe]

[oh i forgot

HEY WHAT'S THE MESSAGE FROM OPHANIA

a name that gives her pause because she knows what it means???]

SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (ROOF)

[idolpro]

[ Up on the roof, you will get a nice view of the city outside of this building. Your primary view is that of the Central Plaza below. There’s a grand-looking bell at the heart of it all and several buildings alight with activity circled around it. It doesn’t look like there’s a way down from up here though. So your only choice if you wish to proceed is to head back downstairs.

There is, however, a black cat sitting there at the far corner of the roof near the railing. It looks up at you with wide eyes. Perhaps… it would like a fish? ]

Re: SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (ROOF)

[awakenerd]

...It's... Koppe, right?

[failedsafe]

[catte

CATTE!!!]

Oh, honey, come here.

[she says that but she's going to carefully make her way to it and lower herself to pet it.]

Ah, I don't have food, but if there's something downstairs, I'll come right back up here to give it to you, okay? I promise!

[scritch scritch scritch!!!]

[failedsafe]

Koppe, my love~! I have something for you!

SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (COMMON ROOM)

[idolpro]

[ Upon taking the stairs down, you enter what appears to be the common area of this building. If you look to the back corner of the room you will see an odd terminal flashing in the corner as well as a conference table with more than enough seats to accommodate everyone. There is also a bulletin and drawing board-- both are empty, but there are supplies present if you want to make use of them.

Besides this room and the rooms upstairs, you now have access to one other room as well as the front door that seems to lead outside. ]

Re: SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (COMMON ROOM)

[awakenerd]

[Time to check out the quest terminal]

[failedsafe]

[let's check out the terminal!!!



also is there any food or cat treats nearby.....]

SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (KITCHEN)

[idolpro]

[ This door seems to lead to the kitchen. It has the standard appliances, but nothing about them is particularly modern. They don’t run on electricity, but an energy source unique to this world.

But if what you’re looking for is a place to make some food, this space will more than do the trick! A number of basic food items are already in storage here. So fortunately it looks like you won’t have to provide your own. ]

Re: SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (KITCHEN)

[awakenerd]

[Oh nice. Maybe they should make some hamburgers. You know, in case of combat.]

[failedsafe]

[oh sweet! time to get some fish!!!!!!!!


and oh, maybe she should make some food too since she's going to be out a while]

That does sound like a good idea...

CROSSBELL CITY (CENTRAL PLAZA)

[idolpro]

[ Upon exiting the building you find yourself a few steps away from the Central Plaza-- the busiest place in the whole city, arguably. Just looking around you can see at least twenty people. From a distance, it seems like any normal city. Kids are running around playing games while adults travel from one place to another finishing up their shopping.

There are several shops in the surrounding area including the Weapons Shop, GENTEN, and the department store.

If you don’t have any interest in shopping right now, you can travel to several districts from here including Station Street, West Street, East Street, the Entertainment District, and the Government District. ]

Re: CROSSBELL CITY (CENTRAL PLAZA)

[awakenerd]

[What if: talk to everyone, twice?

I'm so sorry Rufus]

DEPARTMENT STORE

[idolpro]

[ Your fulfilling shopping experience starts here. There are two floors, individual shops keeping their own space. Several different stores here offer clothes, accessories, books-- all kinds of cute goodies. You may notice that a lot of them feature a particular cat creature.

Can you even keep souvenirs? Who knows. But if you like cute things, maybe it’s worth a shot. ]

Re: DEPARTMENT STORE

[awakenerd]

[Mishy!! But they are not here for souvenirs so he's going to try to find the clothing boutique was it upstairs?]

GENTEN ORBMENT STORE

[idolpro]

[ This place has a little bit of everything-- after all, Orbal Energy is the source of most all technology. So here you’ll find displays of Orbal Cars to your more household devices. Chances are you can’t afford anything here… but you did get a request from one of the employees here. ]

Re: GENTEN ORBMENT STORE

[awakenerd]

[He'll head to the counter! Is Wendy there?]
