Skylark's Ideal World | Session 1

[idolpro]

Once, there was a maiden...
...who was driven from her land.
Great black stags chased her, and their eyes shone blue.
Monsters scrambled after her through the bush, though they found her not.
Stumbling on a log, she fell and thought to surrender, and end the torment of the hunt—

... ... ...

You're so, so tired.

Why carry on?

... Surely, it's okay to take a break—

Finally, she puts her face in her hands and make a frustrated noise. Why is she the one giving the exposition here!

"This is his 'ideal world', and he's not gonna want to leave it on his own. You have to convince him to get the fuck out of here, somehow."

...I see?

[They do not see.]

And you're trying to help with that? As... one of the denizens, I suppose?

She can tell they do not see but you know, she'll just roll with it.

"I mean...yeah, basically. He's happy here, but only 'cause he's decided he doesn't want to have to worry about anything. And I can't make him change his mind."

So what part of reality did you want to remind him of?

Re: Talk to the girl

[intheshade]

She has to think on this.

"Of all the real people he still has things to do with? That would be the kindest way to wake him up. I guess you could also poke at how he normally wouldn't buy into this sort of thing. He not normally someone who thinks things can be this nice without a price tag."

Something like embarrassment for falling for a flimsy scam?

Re: Talk to the girl

[intheshade]

"Something like that. He likes to think he's super mature, after all."

Got it. I'll be sure to pass it along.

...Before we go, could I get your name?
