Persephone ideal world session 2
In the flicker of a candle-flame, in the stir of still water, in the fluttering of flower petals, there is a voice.
Once, there was a maiden...
...who was the living embodiment of everything right in the world.
While she lived, no real harm could come to anyone. Oh, wounds, disease, even death, sure. But she stood between the world and anything worse.
"Except," she said, "I'm going to die." And no one listened.
"I'm going to die tomorrow," she said. And no one heard.
Into the silence, she said: "There's always an ending, after all."

Instructions
Once, there was a maiden...
...who lived in a tomb, and the tomb was made in her image.
Because she lived in a tomb, she became like the dead.
She slept, and dreamed.
And sometimes, woke, and walked within the confines of her tomb.
"Why do you move?" her own ghost asked. "Why walk at all?"
"I am not trapped while yet I run," said she.
Wake Persephone from his dream. Convince him to return to reality.
OOC Information
No powers, whether imeeji or canon ones, function while in Persephone's ideal world. Also all corruptions are gone while in here, they'll be back upon leaving.
You can have whatever items you would have on you, except weapons. Technological items don't function, except for the phone, which only displays the instructions.
Weapons can either just be Not Here and return to your possession after leaving the ideal world or they can turn into a flower of your choice and turn back on leaving the ideal world.
Any character who identifies as male primarily and is 1) physically over the age of 20 or 2) identifies as/considers himself an adult temporarily physically deages to being a youth (so, physically a teenager). This is physical only and temporary, it reverses on leaving the ideal world. Basically the idea is "No Men in Persephone's ideal world". The deaging effect will resize your clothes along with you.
If you are in the same location as other characters, you can talk to them.
Please do, it would amuse me.in the garden: start
In addition to the flowers, in the garden is a large pond: very still, very mirrorlike. There is also a tall, slender youth with long pale hair and purple eyes with constellations in them, here too. He is resting among the flowers, as if he is waiting for someone, though he has bit of a harried body language, too.
Re: in the garden: start
time to just take a moment to admire the rising moon. Nyx will read the instructions in a second when he's less distracted.]

Re: in the garden: start
Hades looks around at the environment, furrowing his brow and noticing that his body feels a little weird. No dog ears, for one! And a little shorter, his muscle all wiry, and his hair doesn't go so far down his back. In fact, it's all pulled up into a messy bun, refusing to stay in place as it had some time ago.]
..... It feels a little bad to ruin such a lovely dream.
[But no dream can go on forever, right? You have to wake up eventually.]

Re: in the garden: start
He frowns extra hard while he looks down at himself and the surroundings, realising what's happened. Good reason to try to hurry out if this area. He goes over to the resting boy.]
Is this a case of jumping in the water again?

katabasis: the wisteria maze
the paths are winding, and you can either go straight through as the map leads or explore some. maybe out of the corner of your eye, you might see a slim, small shape for the briefest of moments, off the path.]

Re: katabasis: the wisteria maze
Should've asked him if he had any dire warnings about staying on the path.
[ The maze hasn't been, like, shifting around him noticeably, has it? ]

It's very slow. But everything and everyone outside the path of sacrifice that is not a PC starts to dissolve into flower petals. Every PC who is still outside the final area will be moved immediately (*aka "when I move you") to the path of sacrifice.
