Vergil's heart game r3

[idolpro]

You feel weak, your body won't move no matter how you try, and you are falling, away from everything you know and love. Away from everything you need to accomplish. If you could just reach out, maybe you could hold on to it, claw your way back. But it's a useless endeavour, you fall unconscious, and your mind goes blank except for poetry and a familiar voice.


O mother Enitharmon, wilt thou bring forth other sons?
To cause my name to vanish, that my place may not be found,
For I am faint with travail,
Like the dark cloud disburden'd in the day of dismal thunder.

My roots are brandish'd in the heavens, my fruits in earth beneath
Surge, foam and labour into life, first born and first consum'd!
Consumed and consuming!
Then why shouldst thou, accursed mother, bring me into life?

You wake on the ground in a cave, cold, wet, and sticky. It smells of rotting flesh. Your objective is clear, but you can't recall a name or face. Nothing else about your memory of him is changed, but for some reason the name "Vergil" just won't come to you, and you couldn't describe how he looks if your life depended on it. But at least your body starts to respond to your will, slowly regaining enough strength to carry on.

[this is weird. raven nudges one of the pieces of armor with yamato]

It clatters as it rolls a little ways off, but nothing about it seems to be off. Except that the trashed pieces just keep appearing in heaps all around. But being around it makes your chest constrict. Possibly difficult to distinguish from your own feelings about this place.

[YES, I DISLIKE THIS GREATLY

raven approaches the door to see if it will open]

Re: THRONE ROOM

It opens just fine, and will lead back into the library. The Angelos are really starting to get irritated with your presence, despite the distance you keep. Those not chained down coming together into formation.

If you don't want to fight them, you'd better get going.

[his mouth twists, and he turns around to face them, sighing. he lifts yamato, holding her aloft]

Well. Time to see how well we work together.

Re: THRONE ROOM

They rush you all at once, and they certainly know what they're doing. Not only individually as clearly well versed fighters, but in working together, as if they can communicate with one another wordlessly. They're organised and one will even sacrifice itself to allow another an opening. And, well, they fight like Vergil, don't they? The wrong sort of weapons for his proper fighting style, but of course it's just like him.

You have 3 Perseverance, you'll have to spend 1 to kill each group - 2 total.

[YOU KNOW WHAT I TAKE IT BACK THIS SEEMS LIKE A BAD IDEA

RAVEN'S GONNA BOOK IT BACK TO THE LIBRARY (get it. because of the books, in the library)

CAN HE DO SO WITHOUT DYING]

Re: THRONE ROOM

[auguryofinnocence]

You manage to run away with your very clever pun that Vergil approves of even if it's not spoken aloud, it's fine, he Feels it and he likes it. But he does not approve of running... Come on, Raven. You lose 1 Perseverance in the process.

back to the library
