Nemesis and Hurricane's Ideal World: Session 2

[idolpro]

[The sky above is a deep, unnatural crimson, filled with roiling clouds and creatures that are a sickly oil-slick black. They writhe and wriggle like something out of a Lovecraftian nightmare; they have entirely too many eyes, and entirely too many wings, and when they open their mouths, they have entirely too many teeth]

[Below them, the city of Tokyo is half-shattered; above the rooftops, mechanized suits the size of people hover in the air, darting in out of the chaos, laser blasts and explosions and wickedly sharp blades fighting tirelessly against the endless onslaught]

[Until finally, the last creature falls]

[All at once, civilians flood the streets of the city; the lights come on in all the buildings, which somehow have become whole again, safe and unharmed. A cheer goes up from the crowd. Overhead, a stunning fireworks display paints the night with light and color]

[And they all lived happily ever after]

[The end]

I mean. Plenty?

But that place got shut down ages ago.

Then here is a question.

If you had to choose between a painful truth, one that would turn you life upside down, and a punishment from one of those games, which would you prefer?

[Reaching to take one, slowly]

What... do you mean?

Re: THE PARTY

[firstworldproblem]

You remember taking a painful memory. One that changed your perspective. Which would be worse, that memory or a punishment from a game?

Re: THE PARTY

[offontherightfoot]

I mean... the memory's my memory, right?

So... so that's better, I guess.

Then take heed what the others say even if it is not what you wish to hear.

Re: THE PARTY

[offontherightfoot]

What do you mean, what the others say?

Re: THE PARTY

[firstworldproblem]

The other guests. Not those from the rescue, but the ones from the Production.

Their words might seem outlandish, but I would give them some thought.

You mean, like... about the priest?

And Nem's sister?
