Nemesis and Hurricane's Ideal World: Session 3

[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]

Real shiny, too. Almost seems like it's glowing...

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[thisismagrave]

Amaranth said it should be a reminder of something important?

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[crossmyheartandhope]

You think?

I mean, I guess it could be, like...

[Glances at Nem,]

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[unbr8kable]

I mean. Maybe...?

[Does not attempt to touch it,]

--Either way, not sure why this's worth leaving the party for. Like--I know you're a self-professed nerd, but this's a little much.

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[thisismagrave]

[He's gonna pick it up.]

Well, you just keep it. Maybe it'll come to you.

[And if Nothing Happens, he will try to hand it To Her.]

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[crossmyheartandhope]

We were supposed to find my ma next, right?

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[unbr8kable]

Like I said, we could just go back to the party--ow!

[The golden key sizzles as it touches her hand, and she drops it to the ground, automatic]

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[thisismagrave]

....

Um.

That isn't normal? [He bends down to pick it up???]

[....pokes Nemesis with it.]

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Trying to intercept, this time]

[Notably, he does not react to the touch]

Dude, what's wrong with you? It hurt her.

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[unbr8kable]

[Definitely skittering away to avoid; the key seems warm but not that warm]

Seriously--what're you even doing? We got better things to do than deal with you trying to steal our kidneys in the storage closet or whatever.

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[thisismagrave]

[Fast snatch back because boy is fast.]

Amaranth said it was important and she's your teammate. Why does a key hurt? Why doesn't it hurt us?

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[crossmyheartandhope]

Does it matter? It hurts her, so quit poking her with it.

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[unbr8kable]

Yeah--whatever, forget this. I'm outta here.

[And heading back out! Though not quite turning her back on him, for safety,]

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[thisismagrave]

You don't want to know why a random object in your house is hurting her? That seems like it matters a lot. What if there's other stuff? She could get burned all over the place of you don't know what the cause is.

Unless she does remember what it is?

We also still need the pretty girl and mom.

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Without missing a beat, turning to follow Nem]

She ain't pretty, and she don't need to come.

She ain't even supposed to be here.

Re: THE TROPHY ROOM

[thisismagrave]

[And there is that Quick As A Wink to head them off.]

I'm giving this to Amaranth. [Pocketing the key.] Since I know you get stupid when protective. [To Hurricane.] And you're apparently a runner. [To Nemesis.] But you're hosts and you're missing important guests.

The pretty girl doesn't want the party ruined and of course her presence is important. And with how much you talked up how 'terrible' my uncle supposedly is, it'd be downright rude to not get as good a mom as yours. And this party will not be ruined. Now march your butts to the fire place and retrieve your guest.
