Vergil's heart game r4

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.

Unless you're Glory, in which case the rest is the same, but you wake in a library.

The statue doesn't move. That's not how that works, buddy.

That's more like it. You style on that statue so hard, as if it's entirely instinct, all the cool moves come to you naturally, things that shouldn't even be possible for you without demon powers? The statue bursts into a geyser of blood -- crystallised into faces twisted in screams. You feel really stylish.



Looks like you got a sticker and 1000 red orbs. Gee Jason how did you get two SSS stickers?
mind_blown: (Feels so good to be confident.)

[uh because no one else bothered with the darts.]

... Well, we could trade this for some stuff.

Ah, that's true...

[ surprisingly easy? I guess that's the yamato for you, though ]

...I think we could get more, er. Perseverance? Or alternately it seems like there's sentimental things.
mind_blown: (It's nice to meet you sir)

Well, let's take a look.

After you?

A statue that appears to be made of gold and stained nickle. It depicts a woman with a lion's head, carrying a giant hourglass upon her back like Atlas. There is no sand in the hourglass, but something does seem to flow within it. The words inscribed below read "The Watcher of Time". When you approach it, a voice rings in your ears.

Those who desire to acquire the ancient ways of war shall offer the blood of monsters in exchange.

Vital Star +1 Perseverance. 500 red orbs
Devil Star Increases demonic power. 500 red orbs
Tail bow a big red bow, you know, for your tail. It's very charming. 100 red orbs
Monocle is this...true power? 100 red orbs
Arm need a hand? It's a right forearm. Like, from a person. 100 red orbs
Painting it looks like it's of Yamato. 100 red orbs
Flowers a bouquet of regular, non-demonic flowers. 100 red orbs
Journal leatherbound and full of poetry. 100 red orbs
Violin surely this is self-explanatory. 100 red orbs
Robes for the Master of Ceremonies, Ligrev. 100 red orbs


You have 1000 red orbs.

So, we haven't run into Urizen yet.

You wanna get some stuff to go kick his ass?

...oh good point. That seems like a thing that would happen.

Do you think we want Perseverance or... "demonic power"...

...that sounds like it could have consequences.
mind_blown: (With a blindfold on.)

Re: LIBRARY

[personal profile] mind_blown 2021-01-29 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Perseverance probably isn't the right one.

Y'think if we take the demonic power, we'll be on our way to being Vergil?

Hm...

...I mean, I've made some pretty bad deals before.
mind_blown: (Are we laughing?)

Re: LIBRARY

[personal profile] mind_blown 2021-01-29 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
... Alright.

Two bouts of demonic powers for us.

Devil Star There's a far off rumbling noise...


...And another, more powerful rumble that shakes the ground, something creaking. It feels...really bad. That sense of demonic power in the lake of blood, but as if it's weighing down on you.

Um. What was that...?

[he considers for a moment.]

... A lesson that demon power's bad, probably.

All a matter of perspective... But for you it's probably bad.

[ looks over at jason. ]

Well, guess we're probably about to find out.

Maybe we should take cover.
mind_blown: (But I'm making myself drown)

Re: LIBRARY

Not... a bad idea.

[it doesn't feel great, and honestly, he kind of hates demons taking over his body. it's a thing]

Er—

...maybe here, or maybe we should try and leave...

...not that any of the places near here are any good.
