Nemesis and Hurricane's Ideal World: Session 3

[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]

[......]

[There is so much here and I don't know what I can eat.]

Maybe the soup and cake....?

[I also know like....almost none of these people.]

[Almost none of them, but still some]

Hurricane, at least, waves when he sees you]

Hey, dude. Glad you could make it!

Hello.

[He will approach.]

Saw your mom.

[I'm also in a Text Conversation.]

Oh, yeah? Lemme guess, she's big into her next project.

Dunno. She got all staticky and weird. Does she have like chronic displacement or something from the monsters?

[Because sometimes your family is cursed and that's Fine.]

Chronic displacement?

What do you mean, she got staticky?

Yeah. The creatures that got killed by the metal suits are some kind of between spaces entity, yeah?

[He will pull out his phone to show him the recording.] This? Its like a curse, right? Or...I guess humans just call it a disease?

[This isn't exactly party talk.]

[But there's a reason his charm is a 2 and that is all in intimidation tactics.]

I mean... I mean, it looks like something's just up with your phone. How come it's glitching out like that?

[Leaning in to get a better look]

That isn't my phone. That is what was happening in reality.

Is that not normal for her?

I've never seen her do that before.

Was she for real just, like... blurring out like that?

That ain't like no kinda disease I ever saw.

Edited 2022-01-02 02:28 (UTC)

Yeah.

I mean, neither have I. [Wait.] But you know where I have seen it? Or, well, heard it?

The static when we can't hear things in our memories. [And now there is Interest because oh, WHAT IF.]

I wonder if its something like that? Like like, we don't hear our names because we don't know enough about ourselves yet, right? Is it like...did she ever have amnesia herself?

I mean... not that I know of?

Huh. I wonder why it is.

Unless it was the illusion. It did hide the pretty nice girl.

[Nemesis gives a quick thumbs up as well]

Ah hey, you showed up, too?

[Ooooh, he. Kind of recognizes her. He talked to her once, he thinks.]

Apparently? I was gonna check out the craft room, but then you called.

Yeah, well, crafts'll keep. Meanwhile, these drinks'll get cold! Should sit down and take a load off.

How'd you like our place? Pretty sweet, huh?

What's in them? I'm not human, I can only eat some things they can.

There was a pretty girl and a cool looking lab.

Some got booze, and some got not booze. What do you eat at home?

And...how old are you again? I hope you ain't hitting on our orphans.

Peanut butter and jelly, bread, jerky, beef, eggs, and blood have all been safe so far.

Sixteen and why would I hit on her? [What is Hitting On Pretty?] It was an older girl. Kinda looked like you?

That's basically all food? So you're prolly good.

And yeah right, I ain't--

[Wait]

...What you mean, looked like me?

Doesn't really cover vegetables. Or fruits beyond....grapes. That's your purple jelly.

Yeah? I think so.

That--that ain't possible.

[Which doesn't come out particularly steadily; a breath and she tries again]

There ain't nobody like that. You musta been mistaken. Maybe you just met Hurricane's old lady. She's here, for some reason, and at least one guy thought she looked okay.

Oh no, she's hidden by static, and I'm gonna try to figure that out. It might be the illusion. The illusion hid the pretty girl too.

Come on, I can bring you to her, I'm sure she wants to come to the party, but she was busy cleaning up the trophy room. She'll come if you ask, I'm sure.

[Sounds bad,]

R-right. You don't gotta worry about that. We're--it's a party, y'know? You should enjoy it. I'll take care of that stuff--after.

Oh, don't be nervous. She wanted you to have a good party.

Amaranth wanted me to show you something in the room anyway. We can look at the thing, get your...sister? Cousin? And have a great party.
