Angel pt 4

As soon as you start to fall asleep, the world of Imeeji is engulfed by a bright light.

It’s strange, isn’t it? You have fallen asleep, and yet your consciousness is awake. You’re simply floating, waiting to remember what it’s like to exist. However, as you wait, a growing fear clutches at your chest. What if you don’t remember? What if you will always be empty? What if you never find what it is that you are looking for? What if you die?

. . . ♫ . . .

You aren’t sure, but you swear that you just heard someone singing . . . the words are incomprehensible, but it makes you feel something familiar . . . a feeling that makes you feel like you’ll find what you’re looking for . . . and that everything will be alright in the end . . .

What is that feeling?

. . .

HUUUH?!

You don’t know?? Wowee . . . well, don’t worry! Since we're friends, I’ll tell you!

It’s hope, of course! !

You find yourself in what looks to be a throne room of meager setting. There’s not much here! A table surrounded by seven chairs, one being a throne labeled “Ruler”. Five other chairs are labeled “Oracle, Knight, Ninja, Vizier, Servant,” respectively and one is blank. They are all around a single wooden table that has a bowl of plastic fruit on top.

The bowl itself has something written on it:
"You made choices that were true to you, and you stuck to them. And then you accepted the consequences with both pride and dignity. Yes, you did very well today."

There is also a giant hole in the floor for some reason, but it’s so dark, you cannot tell where it goes. You can also hear children laughing outside of the nearby window.

There are two doors up on the north wall:
► The Left door is SHINY.
► The Right door is SPARKLY.

There is also a door on the south wall:
► This door doesn’t seem friendly.

► There are also stairs on fire a little bit. Hm!

Whoa - whoa!

[Please hold. Before he does anything, he's dumping the fruit out of the bowl, taking the bowl, and ducking back the way he came to grab some water and try and put those fire stairs out!!]

[ When you grab the bowl though, you really really suddenly want to take a bite out of the fruit.

It's plastic. But you want to eat it.

But you grab the water and try to dump it on the fire but it goes right through it as if the fire was transparent.]

Edited 2019-02-21 02:02 (UTC)

[Wait - it goes through it?]

[He pauses - considers.]

[Touches the fire??]

[It doesn't burn or anything! Your hand goes right through.]

[...weird.]

[And probably safe, if it's not actually burning anything? He watches it for a couple of seconds longer just to be sure, and if it doesn't seem to be doing anything dangerous, he'll make his way back to the table and put the fruit back in the bowl.]

[And sit down in the knight's chair.]

[You have an image of a young human construct with bright blue eyes with a wide smile. They are eating a plastic orange just fine. Androids can do that, you assume. They look EXCITED, and you get a sense that you want to be as cool at humaning as the rest of the court.

You suddenly feel STRONGER. You feel like you can do more physical tasks.]

[...huh.]

[...]

[Sits in the ninja chair.]

[You have an image of a handsome wolfboy with full ears and tail (he used to be in Wild City), and he looks like he wants to go have a good time. They look charming, and you get a sense that you want to go grab a boy or two.

You suddenly feel OBSERVANT. Finding things will be easier.]

[Okay, lbr, he is just going to try every chair. This pretty cool.]

[Sitting in the Vizier spot and picking up a plastic apple. He throws it hard at that south room door.]

[You have an image of a cute catgirl with paws that are OBVIOUSLY FAKE, at least your witty self can tell that much. They look RAMBUNCTIOUS, and you get a sense that you want to make sure that the court remains BLESSED.

You suddenly feel SMARTER. Solving puzzles and learning things will be easier.

Afterwards, when you grabbed that apple, you suddenly REALLY WANT TO EAT IT.

But it's a plastic fruit.

It's plastic. You know this.

But you really want to eat it anyway.

You throw it successfully.]

Edited 2019-02-21 02:04 (UTC)

[He laughs at the rambunctious cat girl he envisions. The good kind of laugh? I guess he does have a lot of laughs.

Does the apple make a delightful clanking noise as it hits that door? That's all he wants to hear as he does pick up the pear and try to bite into it. Yes, even if it's plastic. Nom nom nom nom.]

[IT DOES. It's a nice sound.

You can in fact bite into the pear! It tastes exactly like plastic. I'm glad he's having the time of his life.]

[Just going to chew on this pear then. It's like a widget spinner for idle hands except this one is for idle teeth? Hmmm. Maybe. Maybe not. He gets back up and sits in the Ruler's throne. He figures that's her spot.]

[As soon as you sit in the throne, an image of Angel sitting in the throne confidently takes over your head. You get the sense that this kingdom has one ruler, and no one shall take this from you.

You have to protect this world.

You suddenly feel CHARMING. You will be able to attract people a lot better with your natural charm.]

[Angel, you are so adorable. YOU KNOW WHAT. Hope is going into the fruit basket. Have a fuckin' awesome kingdom, yo.

I mean, he could find bad stuff to put hope in, but why not make something good, better?

Going over to the flames to see if they actually have any heat to them as he tries to put his hand through them.]

[The flames actually go right through your hand, no heat at all!

But more importantly-]

[An Angel pops up out on top of the table.]

Oh!

[OH WAIT. This close! MWHAHAHA.

He waves at Angel as he takes the bowl of plastic fruit.]

One moment.

[He's going to try to feed it to the sheep and they probably just look at it, but he ensures he dumps all the fruit on the ground before coming back.

OH WITH INTENSITY SHEEP (if he can). More chasing happens. And he gives it to Angel.]

[You have done all of that. The sheep harassment CONTINUES!!

But listen. Listen. The most important part here is Angel seeing the Intensity sheep.]

IT'S SO CUTE.

[This is what winning feels like. He's pretty sure. He doesn't really know. He never wins at card games.]

I'm glad you like it. I thought you could use a friend since you can't leave this area. There's a whole mess of sheep right outside if you can manage your way there.

[The villains(?) deserve justice.]

I cannot leave but the other Mes can find them later so it's kinda like the same thing! I have to stay here, but I have one now! Yaaaaaay, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[Rolls around the table with the sheep.]

Good enough.

[Well, she looks happy. Mission accomplished.]

[SPARKLY DOOR HO!]

[SPARKLY DOOR!!!!!!!!]
