Tsukiakari's Ideal world

[ When you come to, you find yourself inside some sort of theater. There are no seats, but the stage in front of you is lit up. Though the background that’s been put there is most definitely fake, the light of the moon, the movement of the trees and the petals scattered in the wind seem incredibly real, so much so that it’s easy to question whether it truly is background or not.

You feel sleepy, still, but you’ve been slumbering for far too long and something inside you is telling you to get up. Go out. You have to wake up. There are tears running down your face, but you might be too distracted to notice them, because soon enough you hear music coming from somewhere.

For a moment, at the center of the stage you can see a shadowy figure dancing under the moonlight. As it fades away, unmistakable, you can hear Tsukiakari’s narrating voice. ]

"You were born with a face fairer than any other.
You were divinely created, but you were cast aside like worthless dross."

"You are a failure. Too fragile to be a tool or a human. But this is a story after all, and you’re the one who will choose the way it unfolds. Write it all from scratch or stick to the script - it's up to you after all."

[ Save for those who came with you, the theater is empty, and there aren’t seats in which to rest. The stage, too, is now empty, and though you can see maple leaves on the ground, where Tsukiakari appeared just earlier, there’s nothing else of notice. If you happen to pay closer attention to the stage, however, you'll notice that the background looks even more real up close than it did in the distance. ]

[ he makes a face as soon as he hears scaramouche. is this how it's going to be? childe shouldn't be the least bit surprised, but he'll 'play' along. he's not sticking around to talk with anybody though and will simply turn into a hydro ball and yeet himself through whatever available exit there is once he realizes he's got his canon abilities. ]

[ hi
bye. ]

[ RUDE BOY! He's yeeted straight into the background, disappearing somewhere else. He'll hear a chuckle as he goes, though - unmistakably Scaramouche's voice ]

[ IF THIS HYDRO BALL COULD GIVE YOU THE MIDDLE FINGER RIGHT NOW... ]

[Brushing the wetness from his eyes with the heel of his palms and standing up.]

Dramatic.

[Really, like all of BARiTONES.

He will wave at anyone else arriving but he's just going down the path towards the gates.]

[ Just as he is about to apprach that path, he'll hear Scaramouche's voice in his head again

"Are you sure that's the pack you want to pick? Careful now, you should choose well."

I have no doubts you can make this place beautiful and a trap at the same time. While the finery is curious, that is not my goal though I doubt you would reveal yourself so soon.

That being said, is the moon an option?

"You're the one writing this. You tell me. What is the moon like?"

[ And though the moon is not within reach right now, he will see that the theater itself changes as he declares the place being beautiful and a trap at the same time. The stage itself turns into a pond with beautiful floating flowers, Emet standing on a platform - though it defies reason.

As for the traps.

Well. There is electricity running through those waters ]

[ Zhongli claps respectfully at a performance well-done, bows his head, and then if there are no other performances ---

Approaches the stage to see if he can get a better look at the set. ]

[ Though the background looks incredibly real from this close, there's not much on the stage aside from that and the maple leaves on the ground. Looking up you'll be able to see the stage lights flickering, but they do seem to just draw your attention to - well. The center of the stage.

Maybe you can put on your own performance! ]

[ He's more of a connoisseur than a performer himself. But hmmm---

Can he reach the prop of that moon hanging so elegantly in the sky? ]

[ It doesn't seem like he can reach it if he's just physically trying to.

But he will hear Scaramouche's head in his head again at the attempt.

"Didn't you hear just earlier? You're the one writing the story." ]

[ pentium picks himself up off the ground and looks around. he'll comb the theater to see if there's anything he's missing, but ultimately he'll probably head for the the 'backdrop' too. ]

[ Just as he is about to apprach that path, he'll hear Scaramouche's voice in his head again

"Are you sure that's the pack you want to pick? Careful now, you should choose well." ]

[ pentium doesn't respond and instead keeps marching forward. guess we're going to find out if this is the best path or not. ]

[ it's time for pentium to eat Yae ]

[Well. He's just going to take a moment to boo, first of all. Then he'll actually go inspect the background. Which, like, he's seen this kind of thing before so he's trying to put a hand through it because that must be a gateway, right?]

[ Just as he is about to approach that path, he'll hear Scaramouche's voice in his head again

"Are you sure that's the pack you want to pick? Careful now, you should choose well." ]

Uh-huh.

[He rolls his eyes.]

Was I picking a path just yet? How about making the other options a little more plain to see, then.

[

hahahahha parallels with the self? what parallels. it's fine. Lily's going to look around the theatre to see if anything in particular sticks out before heading toward where hewasdancing.]

[ There isn't a lot of notable stuff in the theater itself except for the stage, and even there, it's only the leaves on the ground and the background that draws attention. The stage lights do seem to flicker, pointing out the same spot he was in before, but there doesn't seem to be anything else in this room.

You could take the stage for yourself, however! ]

[let's go to and get on the stage!!!]

[ this is death number 51 or something. since he can remove his mask here he takes it off and stares at it, slicking his hair back only for it to fall right back into his face and look just as messy as it did a second ago. he takes a deep breath and just claps his hands once. he's fucken tired. ] I can't make you believe what you don't want to believe or feel what you don't want to feel. I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to do... [ but. but. he doesn't continue, and instead just goes to find a seat before he drops to the floor. ]

[ he's going to look at him for a while, and then he gets up and walks up to him, sitting in front of him ]

You could take my heart. Rip it out right now.

[ he doesn't move for another few moments, but then he just reaches out and grabs him, pulling him straight into his lap. ] I know. [ he doesn't rip it out, but he does trace a heart shaped pattern over his chest. ]
