Skylark's Ideal World | Session 1
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—

"Ehehe...hehehehe, I can't believe it! The boy sure knows how to pick them."
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
...Pardon?
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
Whoever it is, they're trying really hard to not succumb to laughter completely. There's a small 'heave-ho' before the lid gets pushed open enough for whoever's inside to emerge. It's a...well, she looks maybe only a little older than you, but she may just be a really short adult, too. Her white hair stands out against bronzed skin, her eyes bright like amber. There's a blue veil draped over her head that she's adjusting so that sits right as she climbs out.
"I can't believe someone would come this far only to turn around at the last moment."

Where is "here" exactly?
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
She says this so casually, like this isn't the place where the bad shit got stored.
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
Tapping a fist against their palm.]
Then this is where the "answer" should be?
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
[A beat.]
Um. Why...?
1/2
"I take it you didn't get an explanation?"
...This is hilarious but also, she only grows more convinced that the child really knows how to pick his friends, eh?
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
"The fact that I'm still here means the premise of this world can't hold up, once he acknowledges me. And he cannot deny me to my face."
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
Are you... a personification of them, or simply a person who represents those things from his past?
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
Yeah, that sounds about right.
"The 'me' who existed in reality was someone powerful, and he stands to eventually reach something similar. One needs power to achieve their desires, but having power also means you bear responsibility, too. So you could say I personify those feelings because he considers me representative of them."
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
[At this point they're maybe just curious about the whole thing.]
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
She doesn't say this like it's a bad thing, however. If anything, she sounds more thoughtful. "I can't tell you anything he himself doesn't know, of course. It's probably a rather incomplete picture, if that's something you're fine with."
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
She seems to be debating exactly how much finicky detail she wants to get into; there's no need to explain absolutely everything to understand the gist, after all.
"Whee he's from, the gods are provably real, and they can bless mortals with a shard of their power. The Unconquered Sun is among the highest of gods, and his Chosen are called Solars. The 'real' me was one of them who lived over a millennium ago, and the fledgling ended up inheriting her blessing in the present."
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
Re: CW: Dead body,,,
"For the time being, the only responsibilities he knows he inherited from her are the kind people talk ethics about, when you have a lot of power."
