sylvarie - open to all

[personal profile] alborada 2018-05-29 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ The chance to travel into the Dream Width with Biggs and Wedge... Just little over a month ago it would have been unheard of, yet here they were all preparing to board the ships to travel to the new nebulas that were appearing. Though the idea itself was exciting, a part of Sylvarie's mind was still wrapped up in what it could possibly mean. Just what was going on up there?

Of course as an employee of Curti Center and taking its core values to heart, she was quick to sign up as a volunteer and making necessary preparations. And to do that, she would need to speak with some of the otherworlders who had already been retrieved. ]


Excuse me, if I may ask... What would you have wanted to know when you were found, or wanted to have on hand? We can't provide everything, but we want to avoid any mistakes that may have happened last time. We've yet to establish a routine.

[ Meanwhile Primrose is noticeably huffing beside her the whole while, her pom-pom disheveled in her distress. Just what could be up with her? ]

Papyrus - Open to all shipmates!

[personal profile] einspine 2018-05-26 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
A.

[He'd been waiting for a chance to examine an airship closely before, but now? Now is the perfect chance! Sure, his goal is to hopefully explore the Dream Width and find a way out or at least see if any familiar faces arrived, but now?

Naturally, the technology piques Papyrus' interest right away, but rather than listen to each individual message, what's he doing?

Needless to say, he's poking around everywhere he can. Trying to find ways to peek at the inner workings of the ship without interfering with its flight processes. Occasionally stopping and musing to himself about one silly thing or another...]


A FLAME-PATTERNED RUG HERE, PERHAPS. SOME ADDED THRUSTERS FOR INCREASED PROPULSION... AND MAYBE I COULD SUGGEST SOME FRAMED PAINTINGS OF BONES, TOO. THAT WOULD REALLY ENHANCE THE ATMOSPHERE!!!

[But his snooping doesn't end there. Once he finds the holo-projector, he proceeds to start poking at it. He circles it. Tries taking a peek for any blatant mechanisms... and then he starts toggling between all the footage.

One second, it's Kupoto, another second it's Ganeshan- he actually waits a little bit on this one. He likes that fish man! VERY PASSIONATE! Very inspiring!

But the other contents are intriguing, too. That music- ooh, it's kinda jazzy. Okay, he'll let this one linger a bit, too.

But the record option... ooooooh. His hand overs over the button. Shakes a little. THE TEMPTATION. It's so strong...]


I DON'T SUPPOSE THEY'D MIND, WOULD THEY? THINK OF THE POTENTIAL! WE COULD MAKE SO MANY ROUSING SPEECHES. WE COULD PUT ON AN ENTERTAINING SHOW OF SORTS, JUST LIKE METTATON! OR EVEN... CREATE AN INTERACTIVE PUZZLING DEMONSTRATION!!!

[Yes, puzzles. Always with his priorities in place, that Papyrus.]

B.

[When he's not tinkering with machinery, Papyrus gravitates toward the windows. Toward the strange black expanse, the colors and stars, squinting and jotting down notes as he tries to make sense of it all.]

THIS IS SO STRANGE. THEY SAY THERE'S NO LIFE, BUT JUST HOW FAR HAVE THEY WANDERED? HAVE THEY REALLY UNCOVERED ALL THE SECRETS TO THIS DREAM WIDTH? THE FACT THAT PEOPLE CAME HERE AT ALL MUST MEAN SOMETHING, RIGHT?

IF WE WEREN'T IN THIS SHIP, I'D HAVE HALF A MIND TO GO OUT THERE AND SEE FOR MYSELF! ALAS, I CAN'T EVEN DO MY USUAL FLOATING WALK LIKE THIS...

Closed to Ren!

[personal profile] promiselisting 2018-05-26 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At some point in between turbulent dream/memory adventures, if Ren checks his tablet he'll find a notification from the network. ]

You have been invited to the private linkshell "pt"

Accept/Reject/Description?


[ The description, if checked, shows only an image. A certain logo (minus the words), painstakingly recreated from memory.

Hopefully that's enough to hit accept. Assuming he does, there'll be a message waiting for him. ]


Guys, big news. Not necessarily the good kind either, but it might mean we have a lead.

[Of course Selphie wasn't about to let a newcomer panic about their new situation. Every single person who has come before them and will come after them will be met with the same trepidation as she smiles warmly for whoever sees this message next.]

Hey! I'm sure you're thinking that this is the worst possible day of your life but think about it this way; it could be way worse. You could be getting attacked by a Marlboro, for example! So if you were, congrats! You've successfully avoided a pretty nasty monster attack.

[All joking aside, Selphie looks at the camera with a reassuring look.]

Now, I know that this place is scary and maybe you were in the middle of doing something super mega important or maybe you were just heading to bed. The important thing to know is that you're not going to be alone in whatever comes to greet you on the road ahead.

Reach out to us if you ever need a hand, okay? Some of us will be more than willing to help a newbie! We're all in this together after all.

Kanji Tatsumi | "You're a BOY, you know!" | cw: bullying, mild homophobia

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2018-05-20 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Visitors step into the morning hours of a long hallway dotted with doors on the right, ending in a darkened two-way fork leading into the unknown. The watery sunshine of the early hours poured in through the windows, cracked open to let in the breeze on the left side.

A breeze blew in, gently rustling countless posters put up on the walls, children's drawings and other announcements framed proudly, accompanied by strange symbols that those who understood the language would recognize as Japanese hiragana, splashes of katakana and kanji. They read off names of the students, titles of the drawings, or advertised upcoming events going on in this particular elementary school. From behind the doors, there are voices of adults, teachers giving their lectures for the day. The scene is relatively peaceful, and may be rather nostalgic for some.

One of the doors slid open, and someone stepped out. They were a taller figure, adult, clutching something in one hand, but she had no color, no definition... she was a shadow shaped like a person, and bore a big white X scribbled over her face as she tread quickly past the visiting group that had just come in. It's here that visitors notice that they're not wearing what they boarded the airships with, but uniforms of some kind that implement black and white houndstooth on the collars and skirts.

From the door the shadowy figure left behind that remained cracked open, the silence from within broke into hushed giggling and whispering...

Familiar? Sure, she'd give it that. Nostalgic.... required her to actually have had fond memories of elementary school. Which she didn't. Indeed, her visceral reaction is to cringe a bit, looking around. Not to mention be confused because she was... back in Japan? Not Vaikuntha? But this clearly wasn't her elementary school so uh... what was going on?

The door seems like the most obvious thing so uh. She slowly pushes the door open to peek inside, cautious of possibly alerting anyone to her presence. Freaking everybody out would be a pretty bad start, she thinks.

Futaba Sakura | Early Days | (cw: references to verbal abuse/neglect and auditory hallucinations)

[personal profile] promiselisting 2018-05-20 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The light is warm when it fades in - the air too, though perhaps not as hot as the dog days of summer. You're inside. A cafe of some sort? Though perhaps not as neat as the picture implies. The tables are clean, but don't have that customer-ready polish to them. The wall of coffee beans is only half-there. The sign on the door is still flipped to "closed." There's several boxes here and there, and on the floor above, there's the sounds of someone moving things around. Going up there will... make the environment hazier, as Futaba actually doesn't really remember what the upstairs area was like back then, but in sharp, perfect clarity is the older man working there, moving about boxes and the like. Perhaps he's in the process of getting the store set up?

Oh, and Futaba's here too. Clearly younger though - about 14, instead of the nearly-16 she is now. She's also skinnier, if such a thing were possible. And not entirely healthily so. That being said, there's still a normal amount of color to her face.

She's sitting at the table furthest towards the back, with her laptop with her, her back to the stairs and facing the door. She seems very intent on whatever she's working on, but not so intent that she doesn't stiffen up whenever a shadow passes in front of the doorway outside. Normally it's just a person walking by, and she relaxes again after a few moments, but still.

If you decide to screenwatch? She's working on a motley collection of pages. Websites of major scientific corporations. Pages on mental health. Conspiracy theories and wild rumors about parallel universes and worlds. Something called "cognitive psience." The more astute might note that she seems to be searching for something in particular, and she's not having a lot of luck. Also on the seat next to her is a mask, and should you interfere, you'll find out just how fast she can put it on.

It may not seem like there's much to the memory though. For a while things will pass like this, with Sojiro working upstairs and Futaba searching. Stay long enough though without interrupting, and she'll pause, glancing edgily at the stairs. Then she pulls something out of her pocket, fiddling with it. Those more technologically-inclined are free to notice that it's a bug - a device to record audio remotely. Still glancing at the stairs, she darts over to a corner of the counter and starts working on planting it.

The bug is barely in place though when Futaba flinches, wrapping her hands around her head, and then- there's voices.

A cacophony, all at once, to the point where some of what they're saying is probably harder to make out. But there's no one around. There's not even a pause in the movements upstairs. The more astute can probably realize, Futaba - and thus they - are the only ones who can hear it.

Finally, it's too much and Futaba dives behind the counter, yelling- ]


Stop it!

[ The voices die off. And from upstairs, there's Sojiro's surprised voice ]

Futaba? [ It's worth noting that he's down the stairs pretty quick, looking around until he spots her, curled up with her hands over her head. He kneels down, looking concerned. ] Hey, what's wrong?

[ It takes a second before she's able to reply. ] C-can we go home?

Huh? But we've only been here an hour-

[ Futaba's head bows miserably, and Sojiro cuts himself off with a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. ]

Look, we'll go home and get some lunch, but I'll need to come back in the afternoon. I still need to get this place open. [ a pause and then, with the air of someone trying his best but not really knowing if he's doing the right thing... ] I'm not mad, all right?

[ It's that last bit that honestly gets her to look up at him, biting her lip and nodding. She... she can handle that she thinks. And so her laptop's packed up in a trice, Sojiro gets his things together. Futaba puts the mask on only to earn a sigh from Sojiro- ]

Mask off when we're outside. Sometimes I almost regret getting you that thing.....

[ Which elicits an irritable grumble from Futaba in reply as she complies. And then they step out the door, the bell tinkling forlornly as the soon-to-be-opened Cafe LeBlanc is left empty. And if you haven't stepped in by now? Now's when you'll be ejected to your next memory. Better luck next time. ]

[ ooc; Feel free to interrupt the memory at any point! I've got plenty of ideas how interference could go so don't even worry about it. ]

[...The hell's going on? What was this? He smelled coffee and the tinge of cigarettes, but recognized nothing about this interior. He'd been in the ship a moment ago with the others, hadn't he? So how did he end up-?

His stomach sank as he turned to ask Suzette what was going on, and saw no sign of the fuzzball. No moogle? Figured. She always liked to bug out when something weird was happening. But there was Futaba, working away at a laptop. Now that was a sight for sore eyes. He could just ask her what was going on once she finished putting whatever that was on the counter-

Kanji's heart leapt when the voices seemed to fill the air, and he immediately patted himself for any sign of the iMog. He knew odd voices like that. This was giving him some bad TV world deja vu. He grit his teeth and decided to hell with the damn iMog. He had his fists, and whatever these voices were, they were freaking her out.]


A'right, that's enough! Shut the hell up and leave her alone!

regalblaze: (Disheveled 🔪 endless night)

Ignis Scientia | "For The Life of the Chosen" | TW: spoilers, violence, death

[personal profile] regalblaze 2018-05-20 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The cold seeped through his already damp attire as Ignis rushed through the broken streets of Altissia. The sounds of the Empire's ships filled the air as the man in white coat ordered them to pull back. Those that remained- fought back. Rocket launchers locked onto Ignis as soon as they recognized his presence and he had no choice but to whip out his blades. Infused with magic, the daggers rammed into the weak spots of the robots, stopping their engines in their tracks.

He has to hurry up and be done with this.

Finally, after what it seems to be hours of endless fighting, his feet finally brought him to the small island. The Altar of the Tidemother. The man in the white coat feels as if he's miles ahead of him. Yelling. Lunafreya!
He could see the beam of light flowing into the dark sky from where he stands, but in this rain, even that light feels cold. Ignis stops for a second to catch his breath... when something white catches his attention.

A dog. Its white fur gleaming in the dusk.

"...are you her dog?"

Weak, the dog falls to the ground, bathing Ignis with white light. For a moment Ignis doesn't know where he is and what is going in, but then, a deep, unknown voice fills his head and Ignis can't do anything but listen.

A Power- Greater even than that of the Six- purifying all by the Light of the Crystal and the Glaives of Rulers' Past.
Only at the Throne can The Chosen Receive it, and only at the cost of a life: his own

Ignis' mind recoiled as the images flashed, one after the other, showing him everything- the Throne, The King, the Ring and the Light. But it didn't stop. The voice continued void of any emotion and guided only with one purpose.

The King of Kings shall be granted the power to banish the darkness, but the blood price must be paid.
To cast out the Usurper and usher in Dawn's light will cost the life of the Chosen.
Many sacrificed all for the King; so must the King sacrifice himself for All.
Now enter into Reflection, that the light of Providence shine within.

The image of King Regis, standing over Noctis, sword in hand- it implodes in white, ending the Prophecy. Leaving Ignis lost, confused.

Desperate.

Cold.

He needs to reach Noct. Now.

[ooc: I will match your format. I'm guessing that memory repeats itself, so feel free to try and snap Ignis out of it at any time.]

Reno was... wet? It was raining. It was loud, and the ground was broken, heaps of bodies and twisted metal littering the streets the further he walked toward the center of... wherever this was. He wasn't sure where he was, where he was going, there was just this gut feeling drawing him onward. There was someone familiar ahead, standing at... Reno wasn't sure what it was supposed to be. The stone was half collapsed.

Ignis. He remembered Ignis.

"Ignis!"

He ran toward the other man before he was blinded by light. He stumbled, clutched his head as a voice filled it. None of it made sense... It only felt like his brain was going to explode.

"Ig... Ignis??"

peninhand: official art (daa 001)

Monika | Just Monika | CW: spoilers, possible horror, possible deletion

[personal profile] peninhand 2018-05-20 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
The poor souls visiting Monika's memory would find themselves in an empty classroom. The room was dimly lit, as if it was nighttime, and a most surprising sight could be seen through the windows. It appeared as though the room was floating in space, the dark expanse littered with stars and strange orange clouds. They were pulsating and sometimes flaring up, enlightening the room in the process.

An eerie tune could be heard across the classroom, yet trying to find its source would be pointless. It was as if the music came from the room itself. The door was locked and trying to open it or the windows would prove to be a futile effort. Besides that? There was barely anything left in this place. A school desk and a chair upon which a young woman was sitting, her back to the windows.

Those who had met her before would recognize Monika, she was absolutely identical to how she had looked upon arriving on Vaikuntha. Given her dreamy smile she wasn't disturbed by the location or the music in the least She was staring at a wall, yet the way she looked at this wall, it was as if it was the most beautiful and precious thing she had ever beholden in her entire life. And as she spoke, it was to that very wall, as if she could see someone or something that no one else could.

"...... Want to see you be the best person you can be. Will you do something today to make me proud of you? I'm always rooting for you, .͢͠͠҉̢.̛.́͘.̸̛̀͝.͏̡̢.̢҉.̕͟.̷̷̴̧.̨͜.̷͏͠.̸̶̡̀͡.̷̶.."

The last word she spoke didn't come out quite right. It was as though a squeaking, screeching, piercing sound effect played over her word, making it unintelligible. Monika didn't react to this however and went silent, still staring at the wall. She didn't seem to pay attention to anything besides her point of focus, as if she hadn't even noticed that someone was now in the room with her. Should the visitors check her desk, they could see there were two poems. The first one was written in her handwriting:

Happy End

Pen in hand, I find my strength.
The courage endowed upon me by my one and only love.
Together, let us dismantle this crumbling world
And write a novel of our own fantasies.

With a flick of her pen, the lost finds her way.
In a world of infinite choices, behold this special day.

After all,
Not all good times must come to an end.


The second poem was written with a computer font, as if taken directly from some kind of word editing program:

Mo  ka
 onika
Mô îkà
Mon k
 oniàa
o kÂ
Monika
M nikÂ
MoNï a
 o  kÂ
Moinkâ
M n k
 onik
Monika
MoNï a
Moinkâ
 o  kÂ
Moinkâ
MoNï a
Monika


After a moment, Monika spoke again to the wall, paying whatsoever no attention to the new arrival.

"Man, I wish there was a piano in here... I never got to finish that song I was working on. And after I worked so hard on it... I never even got a chance to play it for you. Well...it is what it is, right? No sense having any regrets. I already get to be here with you forever."

It seemed Monika would continue this way until the memory looped... She would probably react if called out or something, though. Snapping her out of it shouldn't be too hard. Maybe.


[ There are two options for this memory:

A: Monika assumes you're the player and 'falls' in love with you.
B: Monika assumes you're some manner of program or intruder and aims to delete you.

Please say in the header which way you want this to go! If we decided on a third path, then no need for that. Please refer to my plotting thread for more details regarding those two paths.

It wasn't often that you go from the dark of blues and deep grays to the sharp reds, purples and oranges of a room lit by chaotic sunset, but Madhuri could check it off her bucket list. As that eerie tune catches her horns, her ring-covered fingers lift to touch them and ponder. Something about the song feels rather hollow, lonesome, and then it 'crashes' and tries to begin again. This was another person's vision, just like the others she'd been witness to today.

She quietly cursed herself for not knowing more about Spelljammers. They likely would stop this sort of adverse effect, but she was no elf nor was she more than something of a hobby tinkerer.

Whose vision was this...? It wasn't hard to deduce, when a girl sat at a desk and spoke to the wall like that. The room was just as hollow and as empty as the music. She looked peaceful, delighted even. What kind of world was this?

The sound of her own heel steps jolted her for a moment, pausing upon first step, before she steeled herself and proceeded forward. She was saying something... er, to the wall, but it was a good clue as to how to move along from here. She needed to get out of here, or she may be trapped. Play it cool.

"Regret's normal. But maybe we won't need that piano..."

Okuyasu Nijimura | Lending a Hand | cw for blood/injuries

[personal profile] righthandstand 2018-05-20 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once the Dream Width fades away, the scenery slowly stabilizes around the people within. They are in a large room of a Japanese house in the suburbs of Morioh - empty save for some furniture. One would be forgiven if they assumed it was abandoned - windows are broken, the stairs have become splinters, and parts of the floor are missing as if they were blown up. The sunny early morning is alarmingly calm outside, as is Okuyasu who is lying peacefully on his back. In contrast to the frozen chaos, he is free of any injuries and appears to be resting.

That is, until his eyelids flutter open as if waking from a deep sleep. His eyes glaze over as he returns to reality with confusion.]


Where am I...?

[He shifts his shoulders and grunts as he pushes himself up. A moment passes as he processes what happened.

In a second, he grips his side and jerks up straight with wide eyes.]
Oh, shit! Josuke!

[How could he have forgotten? He can't afford to sit here! Okuyasu jumps onto his feet, wobbles around for a second, and barges out of the empty house to the suburban streets with a single goal on his mind...]

((ooc: let me know if you want to do a thread with 3+ people. The memory will repeat itself until Okuyasu snaps out of it, but feel free to repeat it as often as you want.))

[With a soft gasp, Madhuri pulled her extremities inward, heels clicked and tail quickly winding around her waist. You could never be too sure when you suddenly jump worlds like that, but perhaps it was more of a force of habit when you're a tiefling caught by surprise. What was happening...?

Wait, there was Okuyasu. She'd know that face anywhere. But before she could call to him, he was upright, concerned and hauling ass out of the house.

Her tail unfurled and she headed for the first broken window, springing out of it. She needed to catch up to him and figure out what was happening. They were just on the ship...! What was...!?]

warpstriking: (down ☈ spinning in chaos)

Noctis Lucis Caelum | "Light of the Crystal" | Chapter 13 Spoilers (see comment)

[personal profile] warpstriking 2018-05-20 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[OOC: These memories will delve into subjects of psychological torture, body horror, death, suicide, self-sacrifice, war, and potentially others. Will post further warnings in subject headers. I will match your style, and this memory and what follows will repeat until he's snapped out of it.]

At first, the memory is naught but a blinding glare of white infused with swirls of pale blues and violets. Yet as they seem to float there, a male voice spoke up from somewhere within.

"How far's this go?" Noctis' voice echoed in the void of light. "The Crystal had better be here. Everyone's counting on it...counting on me."



And as if to answer the question of "What the hell was he talking about?" before one could voice it, the light soon faded into a scene that left not only Noctis, but those who were dragged into the memory to save him from this living nightmare, into what looked to be some sort of storage hangar in an imperial stronghold. Yet as the four men, dressed in all black uniforms of varying styles, fought back to back, covering each other against daemon after daemon—it quickly became obvious that the numbers were not dwindling. Even the blind could see that much, as was made obvious when the first to speak up was—

"Noct, you must go on alone."

"What?" Noct's head jerked toward Ignis as he phased through an attack aimed at his head, a blue phantom left in his wake as he lunged forward, cleaving the attacker in half as it faded into black and purple mist. A wild look in his blue eyes as he tried to read an expression that had only become harder to read with the scars that left Ignis blind. "If you can obtain the Crystal's power," the Hand of the King explained, crossing dagger and prodding cane in front of him, "—we may yet be able to turn the tide. Elsewise, we are all like to perish here."

"Iggy's right." Gladio chimed in, blocking an Iron Giant's fist with his greatsword. "It's our only chance."

Noctis grimaced, throwing a dagger into another daemon before he followed it, blue lights streaking after him. "...But what about you?"

"We'll manage somehow!" A battered Prompto tried to reassure him, aiming his gun at another turned soul and firing. "Just get moving!"

Noctis hesitated for a brief moment, even as he heard the lift rising to the level they stood on. He didn't want to leave them. Feared what that could mean, and yet—

"You could still get to the Crystal...if you went on your own," a fifth voice echoed in his head, or the room. "Your friends will have to stay behind."

He had no choice. Gritting his teeth, he threw his father's sword into the lift, warping inside as the gates closed behind him. He had to grit his teeth as the sounds of his closest friends continued to struggle on.

Yet he did not turn back. He couldn't. Yet his hand still rested against the cage wall as the lift descended one level, blue crystalline weapons circling around him briefly as the black ring around his hand flashed vibrantly. He didn't even wait for the gate to open completely, feet touching cement of the hangar three feet ahead of him as daemons began to pop out of the floor akin to flowers on a newly dug grave.

Hangar gate closing. a robotic female voice announced, Please stand clear.

"You'd better think fast. I don't envy you your decision."
That voice spoke up again, causing blue eyes to narrow further; his blood boil just that little bit more.

"So, this is the way to the Crystal?" He asked no one but himself, but yet he knew. Oh, he knew that insufferable bastard would answer him. Blue lights seemed to follow him as he made his way down the linear path, along with a voice he wasn't so sure if it was in his head, or if it was over a speaker system. Yet it mattered not as one by one, any daemon that so much as tried to touch him was sent reeling back by a blast of holy light.

"Betraying your friends for the greater good—the mark of a monarch!" The Voice remarked with far too much enthusiasm for his liking. "Step forth, Your Majesty!"

More daemons, more brilliant flashes of holy, yet even more snide comments from the man he loathed so much. It was hard to tell whether or not he was grimacing or gritting his teeth in anger as with each blast, more and more of his right arm and the same side of his neck slowly was overcome by ashen skin, veins quite on fire with each blast. Yet he dared not stop.

"If you wish to obtain the Crystal's power, you must be prepared to lose all else."

He pulled out a vial from his pocket, crushing it as he lifted the hand that bore the Ring. Tried to ignore the claws that bit into his skin as magic rippled above his head. He was surrounded, until a blast of light far bigger than the others engulfed the area. Many of the daemons being sucked into the void of light above them as he took exhausted step after exhausted step. His breath was shaky as the burns on his flesh slowly began to heal themselves, and he stepped over the threshold to the central hub once more.

He had been here before, the platform he had walked on to restore power to the elevator before him still far below their current floor. Yet he did not care about that. Instead, he turned around to see his three friends continuing to fight countless daemons in the hangar as the gate finished closing. Watching Gladio fend off a foras from striking Ignis. Ignis, dismissing his dagger as an alberich fell and he clutched his probing cane. And Prompto, filling yet another reaper's skeletal frame with lead.

Noctis' eyes narrowed and brows knit together with worry as he wondered if those would be the last words they ever told him, gritting his teeth as he turned his back and his eyes squeezed shut. Shoulders sagging slightly before he crouched forward. Almost as though he didn't trust the floor to hold him.

"Don't die on me," he both ordered and prayed, clenching his fists as he rushed to the central elevator. The metal doors closing as the elevator moved upward on its own. Noctis remained crouched over, not even bothering to look to see if his wounds were healing—which, they were, and he knew exactly what that meant in the long run. Yet as they made their ascent, the Voice posed question after question:

"Do you suppose your dear friends are still alive?
Those who died for you—do you ever wonder what went through their minds?
Can you even recall their final words?"


"I'll come back for you all." He promised under his breath, gaze hardening. "I swear."

spaceforged: (If I can live through this)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2018-05-21 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Why does it always start with light? He has had so many shown in his face since he left Earth. The thought barely finishes before it fades and he’s left rubbing at his eyes and trying to see past the spots in his vision. The ceiling is far over and the space is echoey the way storage hangers always are. His attention snaps to the abominations surging towards the small party of four. His instincts kick in. He snaps his right arm up and pure silver blue light washes up and over it. He jerks back away from it and bites back a startled noise.

A creature made of shadow and distorted flesh moves towards him and he spins to face it sweeping his arm about on instinct. It goes down. He cuts the one behind it down. He has to get to Noctis and wake him up. But the Daemons work against him. He cuts them down one after another but the tide doesn’t slow. He comes to the conclusion he has to let the memory play out just as Noctis is told to go alone.

He keeps his space safe as he waits for the decision. Yet as he listens to their words and sees their faces he feels a stab in his heart. In Noctis place or theirs this would be hard. Necessary but hard. He commits their faces to memory and the grinding of a lift warns him he needs to get moving. He turns and sprints for it, throwing himself inside just as Noctis appears in a wash of blue light. The same light he’d shown as he fought. Beautiful as that magic is...it sets his teeth on edge. How much is it taking as a price?

He sits in the lift as it descends and jerks his head up when crystal weapons spin in the air. It’s pretty but weapons always are. The short trip gives him time to think about the voice that had sounded over head. Noctis is being goaded and led. He doesn’t like where this is going. He rises and is out of the lift seconds behind his friend and reaching for the Bayard. It transforms the moment it’s in his hand into a shining blue blade that is a twin to one he’d seen before in the hands of its previous Paladin. A long cutlass like blade but, the hilt is white.

He stares at it and almost gets left him. He charges after Noctis, moving light on his feet as he cuts through daemons in his way. It has been so long since he wielded a sword like this. It feels uncomfortably like breathing. The voice speaks again and his anger flares darkening his eyes and making the sword in his hand shine like a star. Energy is building in the blade and he brings it up letting the power scream out and tear into daemons like they were made of dust. “It’s not betrayal to trust the people at your back.” He says, his voice having a hard edge to it.

He finally catches up to Noctis and freezes in horror. Ashy skin. Veins like they are made of flame. It makes him sick to see it. “Noctis.” He breathes out in horror just as the voice sounds again.

’If you wish to obtain the crystal’s power, you must be prepared to lose all else.’

His stomach drops and he thinks back to how fondly and protectively Noctis talks about his people. The thought makes him think of Hunk who had trusted him to tell him about a terrible future. Full of good and bad but. His voice is a whisper trying to convey everything he can even if Noctis won’t understand who is reaching out to him. A friend. A leader who understands. Someone who cares. “Listen to me. This already happened. Whatever ended up happening....that voice. It’s wrong. It’s not betrayal to trust the people at your back and stand between them and danger. That’s what a leader does. Even if you don’t wake up yet. Remember that. Trust them and trust yourself.”

chocobosnap: (Don't make me do this)

Prompto Argentum | "I'm not one of your experiments!" | Episode Prompto Spoilers

[personal profile] chocobosnap 2018-05-20 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Content warning: human experimentation, clones, murder, daemonification, psychological torture.]

Prompto was standing before a large door, behind him several fallen MT Units. He was wearing winter clothes, his bands had been taken away revealing a barcode on his right wrist, one he normally took great pains to cover up, but during this whole experience that small token of dignity had been taken away from him.

He pushed open the door and stopped. Surrounding him were several tanks where adult men appeared to be living in liquid and although they didn't have hair, they looked an awful lot like Prompto. He was staring for a moment.

"Who...or what am I?" Prompto breathed, because it was haunting to look at his own face being reflected back at him. He stepped forward and brushed his gloved fingertips against one of the tubes. He wanted answers.

The only way to get those answers was to move forward, but he could feel it, the shiver traveling the length of his spine even though he was overdressed for the complex, knit hat pulled almost over his ears. What he wouldn't give to block out some of the noise of the facility, any of the things that had been said since he arrived.

Prompto dropped his hand and kept going. There was no other way out, but a flight of stairs, so he stepped over the threads and cables between the tanks carefully, his gun still at the ready in his hand. His entire experience in the facility thus far had meant things were constantly attacking him. Robots. MTs. Whatever the Empire wanted to call them.

At the top of the stairs, it appeared to be a control room of sorts, two rows of panels and buttons, all of which he had no idea what they were used for. Where there should have been a wall, was a big pane of glass instead, showing him what was going on in the lab. There were more tanks, more men who looked like him, bald and living in some kind of solution.

Something moved and he ducked down low. "Is somebody in there?" He murmured to himself, more out of nerves than anything, because he was trying to escape, it wouldn't do to be caught by someone now.

He peeked over the edge of the control panel and saw a man pacing, his back to Prompto with long white hair. "Deep breaths." He encouraged himself, trying to do exactly that. A hunt he could handle, with his friends at his back. This was something else entirely.

Prompto was alone.

He crept around the first bank of panels into the second. The door, he could see it, was at the end of this row.

Footsteps interrupted him, as another man, one with a syrupy voice and red hair entered the scene unfolding in the window.

My friend, do you recall the child that was stolen from this facility?

The one those Lucians absconded with?

Precisely. I thought you might like to see the fine young man he's become these twenty odd years later. So, as thanks to bringing your pets to Insomnia, I've brought the boy to you!


It had become clear to Prompto that they knew exactly where he was and he ducked down lower as that second man, Ardyn Izunia, swept his arm out towards Prompto.

The time has come to meet your maker. Any questions for daddy dearest? Father and son! Oh how I love bringing families together.

"No, it's not true!" Prompto shouted out, somewhat agonized, because how could this be his biological father? "You're wrong damnit!"

He took off at a run towards the door. "My home is in Lucis. Not here." He told himself as though he needed to believe it, to reinforce the idea. "Everything we lost that day is because of him."

The room he found himself in only had one more exit, he was going to have to come face to face with the other man. Verstael Besithia. He took a breath, steeled himself and entered the room. Ardyn had departed leaving him to stare at Verstael.

The man before him was breathing hard, struggling a little bit because he was in the process of turning into a daemon, the dark seeping into half of his face.

What's the matter? Have you never seen a man turn before? If those Lucians hadn't intervened, you could've turned too.

Prompto was holding his gun on him, ready for a fight but he faltered somewhat. "Why me?"

Because you were cloned from this genius' genes, born of my own flesh and blood. You are but one of millions, created to serve our great empire in the magitek infantry.

He took a step back, the gun lowering completely. "Created...to serve you?"

Yes. And now you've finally come home to Niflheim, my son.

It was like those words triggered something within him and he raised the gun, firing off a warning shot. "Shut up!" He was trying to keep ahold of his emotions, trembling slightly."You're wrong. I'm a Lucian!" A tear slid down his cheek. "I am not one of your experiments!"

Not anymore. Now you're nothing but a failure. I ought to return you whence you came. Perhaps then you'll serve some useful purpose.

As Verstael spoke he took steps towards Prompto, one at a time, reaching out for him.

"Never!" Prompto cried, raising the gun. He didn't have a choice, there wasn't a choice in this matter. He didn't want to die!

With your help, my ascension into divinity is now all but complete. Soon, neither the kings of Lucis, nor the gods themselves will be able to challenge my reign.

He grabbed for Prompto's face and although he didn't really want it to come to this, he wasn't in the habit of killing people, if one could call him that, he fired. Point blank into Verstael's chest.

Verstael fell down and Prompto dropped his gun with a clatter, falling to his knees, crying because there was little else he could do for the moment.

Ardyn's voice came over the loudspeaker. Look what you've done! You've gone homicidal - no, patricidal! You lose your friends, murder your family. Now you've no one left! He laughed, taunting and maniacal.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Prompto cried out in anguish.

((ooc: And the memory loops again until he can be pulled out of it. Enjoy. Will match format.))

The first time Reno saw flashes of images; strange, glowing eyes and metal soldiers, tanks of bodies, the flash of a gun muzzle. He didn't understand it all, but it left him feeling sick. Left him thinking of Midgar -- of Niebelheim. Of the men and women listed "missing in action" and the inhuman creations of Shinra "doctors." It was like an out of body experience of pain and nausea.

When it began again he could move, and he realized it was the same as he'd seen before -- and the boy beside him was Prompto. Prompto...? What was he even doing here?

The former Turk knew trouble when he saw it. He could feel it in his bones. He raided a nearby weapons locker, finding a sniper rifle inside. At least he would be able to help Prompto in whatever hell this was. And "hell" was right when they came upon a whole room of those things -- those clones. Reno shuddered to look at them all.

"What the fuck..." he murmured, lowering his weapon.

Ena | Zera Hamlet, Reprise | cw: mutilated corpses

[personal profile] rivieran 2018-05-20 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
The first thing you notice is the rain; faint, cold pricks stinging your skin.

The next thing you notice is the smell; the hopeful and promising scent of the early spring rain, the comforting aroma of well-worn wood, and the sharp odor of blood.

Finally your eyes register the scene around you - you're in a town. Well, what used to be a town. You stand near a lonely well that sits in the town square, and the larger stone buildings that surround it are caved in, ruined. The only one that still has any semblance of shape looks like it was once a church. Farther off to the opposite side is a collection of small residences... or what used to be. Most of them are now piles of splintered wood on the ground. There are, what looks to be, arms and legs sticking out from among the mountains of ruined wood and stone. In fact, there's a pile of bodies by the well, not too far away from you. Thankfully, the rain masks the smell; they don't seem they've been lying there for very long, though.

Finally, your mind registers the living. There's a Dwarf leaning over the pile of bodies, staring intently at them. His red hair is in a mohawk that's almost half as tall as himself, his magnificent beard covers most of his torso, and a beautiful array of axes decorate his belt. A large gray wolf is right next to him, sniffing the corpses. On the other side of the pile is a Human clad in heavy armor, gazing up towards the heavens with his hands folded in prayer. His lips are moving voicelessly, and the raindrops rolling down his face make it seem like he's crying.

"—but I didn't think he was tellin' the truth. Fuck me, right?" There comes a man's voice from behind you. Turn around and you'll see an elderly Human, the colorful patchwork cloak (or is it a coat? it's hard to tell) draped over his hunched shoulders adding life to the otherwise very bleak scene. Now that you notice him, you'll notice how he smells faintly of dog, the scent coming from his pipe only emphasizing this fact.

There's a cloaked figure standing near him, with a bit of distance between the two. The figure moves its head away from him, revealing to you a glimpse of light pink curls peeking out from under the hood. It's Ena. Her mouth is open, ready to speak—

—THWACK!!

"Verus!!" The armor-clad Human snaps out of his prayer, looking indignantly at the Dwarf.

"What?" The Dwarf, apparently named Verus, hefts his great axe up onto his shoulder with one of the bodies, freshly sliced at the waist, at his feet. "What if they come alive? We don't want 'em chasing us if they do!" When there's no response from any of the other three, he pulls out the next body, cuts it cleanly in half, then moves onto the next.

"I damn sure hope someone's alive," the elderly Human's tense voice betrays his seemingly calm facade. The armored Human nods in agreement.

"We should at least see if we can find any survivors, just to be safe," he says.

"I can help," Ena finally speaks up. Her expression is slightly desperate and briefly contemplative before she starts murmuring words in a language intelligible to no one and moving her hands in an intricate pattern. After casting Detect Thoughts, she stares out into the rubble, her eyes glowing slightly. Maybe there's still someone alive out there.

The armored Human follows Ena's gaze intently as the elderly Human gazes out over the destruction, taking long draws from his pipe. All the while, Verus goes through the pile of bodies, chopping them up like firewood.

Your turn.

There was something Pearl told Connie when she had asked about whether she was ready for a battle with the Diamond Authority: "Connie, while I can train you to get you through the fight without a scratch... I... there's nothing I can do to prepare you for what comes after. I'm sorry." She'd thought that Pearl was just being her normal, melodramatic self... but she had been so wrong.

Connie stands stock-still, pale, for a few moments, brain struggling the process the carnage around her. Death. So much death. And blood and oh god-

The breaking point finally comes when Verus chops the first body in half. Staggering, Connie turns and vomits into the well at the horrifying squelch, the spilling entrails, all the blood so much blood and she had to get it together. Get it together, Connie. Just a memory. It was all just a memory. She could handle it she could handle it she could handle it

What finally snaps Connie out of it--somewhat--is Ena's voice. Right. The tech-inept, entitled, haughty elven princess. That's whose memory this was. Okay. Okay okay okay. She needed to snap Ena out of it, for both her sake and the elf's. Still trembling, Connie drags herself away from the well, swallows some bile down her throat. "What... happened here?" she asks Ena weakly.

Lelouch vi Britannia | "Julius Kingsley"

[personal profile] likewishes 2018-05-20 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
((OOC: Possible mentioning of memory altering, violence, terrorism, not quite hallucinations but definitely voices... And maybe others, Unsure about that. Anyway. The full memory can be seen here. Will match style with yours so don't worry. He'll be trapped in it until someone breaks him out of it.))

[ Such a dark and elaborate hall to be playing chess in. The two at the table seem like polar opposites. One man dressed in white, Japanese, and the other clad in black. Off to the side, clearly not engaging in the game is a third man. Guard? Sentry? Jailer.

The conversation isn't anything interesting. Just two opponents moving their pieces across the board. Not until the mentioning of the Duke of Velaines. ]


It was foolish of the Duke of Velaines to defy the Emperor. [ Well, defy him. But Julius' word is the same as the Emperor's was it not? A smirk crosses Lelouch's Kingsley's features. ] Perhaps one could say his time has come and gone?

[ The following laugh is cold. Arrogant. As if he cares about that insect of a man. No, if anything, it seems as though Julius is enjoying the former Duke's misstep. That man's fate has already been decided. ]

He is under arrest for now, but he'll be beheaded before His Majesty.

[ Still playing the game, the Japanese man finally seems to speak. ] What of the Great Nobles?

[ Julius scoffs as he picks up a chess piece and plays with it. ] I doubt that they have the backbone to attack the Britannian homeland. I shall guide Euro Britannia. [ He places the piece back onto the chessboard and folds his hands. Arrogant smile never leaving his face. ] Checkmate.

[ Shin takes a moment to look at the board. After a moment of consideration, he sees no way out of it. ] Well played.

[ Julius isn't done though. He picks up the white queen - Shin's queen. A chuckle passes his lips as he weighs it in his hands. ] You projected the real world onto this game, didn't you? [ Shin now seems cautious, but Kingsley proceeds. ] At one point, I would have lost if only you had sacrificed your queen.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

There are things that you cannot bring yourself to sacrifice. [ Julius holds up the qhite queen as if to emphasize his point. ] Am I wrong?

[ Shin immediately puts his guard up, eyes narrowing a fraction. Kingsley doesn't seem bothered. ]

Everyone possesses such a weakness. A parent, a sibling, a friend. Perhaps a lover? Bu I am different.

You are?

What I must protect, what I am willing to lay down my life to protect is his Imperial Majesty and no one else!

[ 'What lies'... A voice within says. 'His Imperial Majesty? Is that who you really want to protect? After all he's done?' Julius drops the chess piece and clutches at his eye patch ( why does he have that anyway? ). Eyes wide, searching. As if he is in physical pain. He whispers, arguing with himself. In his mind a man with a strange glow to his eyes reaches out and the world goes black. In a fit of rage, Kinglsey sweeps his hand across the table and cries out. Wine and chess pieces clatter to the floor.

Wrong. Wrong... It is His Majesty he is loyal to. 'No! He is the enemy! He is to blame for everything! He did this!' Julius Kingsley curls on himself and Suzaku's eyes narrow. ]


Wh-who's there? Wh-where are you? [ He staggers away, in pain and muttering to himself as Shin rises from his seat. ] N-no! I-I'm different! Th-this place... What is this place? Where am I?

[ Things are conflicting within his mind. Faces of people he knows but also doesn't know. Someone is struggling to claw at his memories. They seem flimsy now, more like a movie or a story about him than anything he's actually done. 'False!' that voice in his head cries. 'This is not me! I won't lose to that man!' The tone shifts, Lelouch pushing through the weight of Charles' Geass, everything blurring together. He doesn't know where he is or what he is doing. ] The Tokyo Settlement? No.. Kamine Island?

[ He looks down at his hands. 'No! You're dead! There is now no one here but me! Me and my loyalty to Britannia. To the Emperor!' No. No that's not true. He is himself. He is Lelouch vi Britannia. Lelouch stands, struggling. ]

Get out of my head, Julius Kingsley!

[ The other two talk in the background. Suzaku stating he isn't well. Shin looking like the cat that ate the canary. All the while Lelouch and Kingsley struggle within the confines of Lelouch's mind. The pain is excruciating and Lelouch is on his knees. Charles has done something to his mind, but he doesn't know what. He doesn't know completely what is true and what isn't. The implanted memories and Julius threaten to choke Lelouch's and his own down. Yet Suzaku is in he background telling Shin that he has to leave.

Shin mentions Julius' plans. About how they remind him of a terrorist. The name of the terrorist in Area 11. The terrorist Zero. In fact, their plans are the same. Suzaku bristles, telling Shin that Zero is dead. Killed by the Emperor himself.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Lelouch is that person. He is Zero. It's a fact that he reminds himself over and over and over again. Yet Kingsley seems all to willing to keep fighting for control all the same. Lelouch isn't dead! Zero isn't dead! 'Oh no... But you are. All that remains now is me. So perish. Vanish!'

Suzaku and Shin continue to talk. Suzaku pulls out a gun, Lelouch thinks, but can't be sure. He can't be sure of anything at the moment. There are precious things he doesn't want to lose. That he can't lose. Everything he's done. Everything that he's worked for. The Japanese. His revenge...

And then it repeats. ]

( Warnings: Genocide. Mind Manipulation. Also, spoiler if anyone would prefer not to but pretty sure everyone knows this about her.

This got ugly long, please do not feel the need to repeat. Euphemia was supposed to be rescuing her brother but apparently powers activate in the homeworld/memory dream. If you're Japanese, proceed with caution. If not, feel free to wrangle her out of the memory. Because it doesn't look like Euphy is going to be saving her brother after all.

Note: Anyone who goes to wake up Lelouch will likely have scene this scene.

____

[ It wasn't home. No, it wasn't home at all. And yet this all felt strangely familiar when she waltzed through the dark hall. She could feel it despite not recognizing the décor or hall. But as she entered further, something inside her told her this felt like home. It wasn't entirely clear just where she was now, but she could hear the voices centered towards the middle and cautiously began her approach. A voice she recognized. A voice she heard countless times through networks, recordings, and even in person herself. Yes, she knows that voice being used, but… how curious that the voice is not the masked vigilante himself.

As she nears the scene her suspicions are confirmed when the voice matches the name—her half-brother. Lelouch... ]

[ Confused, she studies him for a moment, then to the chair that faces him. Lelouch was one thing. The gentleman seated was another. Yet her eyes instantly catch sight of a figure looming in the distance hasn't seen in so long. One dressed in regalia that proudly states his Knightly presence. Ah, how her eyes told the story of sorrow, pain, longing as she studied him. They watered just a bit as a hand came to her mouth to see him there just standing. It was because seeing him hurt her heart just a little, a telling sign of how much she missed his presence. Yet his expression was firm and strangely distant, and it was that countenance he bore that made her brows furrow with worry. Where was the warmth? Where was the kindness? Where was that foolish yet sweet boy who treated her with kindness and never without a smile in her presence? ]


S- .. Suzaku...

[ A quiet murmur, a name she couldn't help but utter. But then the scene continues to unfold as her eyes watch Lelouch taunt the gentleman with his prowess over chess. She listened earnestly as he goaded the other with his clear weakness. It brings a small frown to her lips, but she can't really say anything but listen. She wants to know. She wants to understand. What reason could they have in here? Slowly, it becomes clear as if the memory wanted her to know. Her face twists a bit Lelouch proceeds to gloat his victory, point out the other’s weakness, then end it on a rather powerful note. One that has her eyes widening slightly in surprise as a gasp left her lips. That he would lay down his very life to protect the Emperor. Their father—Charles? This ... this was Lelouch? How?

Oh, she’d learn. Just like that, the answer came as Lelouch began to buckle with doubt over what he said. The Emperor? The Emperor?! Then came the fit of rage as both wine and chess pieces scattered about, and ... oh. Oh. How she gasped in shock that his mood just took a sudden dive. Gone was that confidence. Gone was his pride. In seconds he seemed confused, uncertain, and ... suffering from what? ]


LELOUCH!

[ Only then does she make a break towards him with intent to try and comfort his fallen form. She can't bear to watch this anymore and know he was suffering. She has to help him! She has to— ...except the name the man utters makes her stop just shy of reaching him. Wait. What was that? Julius Kingsley? Who? Who was that? No, this was Lelouch. Lelouch vi Britannia. How could someone from their world confuse him? He was unmistakable without his masked form.

It was baffling to hear and even more so to watch. To see him collapse to his knees and hold his head while shivering violently as though he was in tremendous pain. And all the while she watched as Suzaku seemed to not react much to his behavior. That expression on his face lacked the warmth she knew yet bore a look of disgust and distaste. Now she watched in horrid as Suzaku tried to dismiss the now smug gentleman. Lord Shaing. So that was who he was. A figure of nobility, and clearly someone of importance.

Suzaku appeared all too calm while disregarding Lelouch’s present state as he addressed the Lord just now. Yet the tables now seemed turned as the Lord himself appeared smug over what was transpiring now. The terrorist of Area 11 and the plan and the Ark Fleet Plan. It all bore a striking resemblance to another’s terrorist attack. Oh. He knew. He knew that this was not Julius at all. That the man who was crumbled just a ways away before them was not this Julius, no. He was the infidel, leader, mastermind, and terrorist known as the one and only Zero

Yet the words from Suzaku’s lips stuns her. Zero is dead. No. What? Killed by the Emperor, he said. That’s not true! He’s clearly here! But would Suzaku know this? Did he know who Zero was now? Why was Suzaku lying about this? Why would he lie at all? What was he gaining by hiding his identity from the man who appeared to not buy it at all? Yet his presence marks this fact said the Lord. After all, Suzaku was a Knight of the Rounds. Her expression then turns to shock to hear this. Suzaku ... he was promoted? When? Why? Then came the gun is drawn out by Suzaku to which the Lord seemed indifferent towards the threat. Why should he be? After all, he was the son of Japan’s final prime minister now a Knight of its Conqueror. ]


... w-what?

[ What? What? Since when? Why? What was happening? This didn’t seem right. Or maybe it did? Why was he—J-Japan? Why was he assisting the Emperor and—Japan. This was baffling, and she couldn’t—but Japan. That’s right, that’s right he was born in Japan. Japanese. He was Japanese. He was taunting him because he was a Japanese as an Honorary Britannian but he was also Japanese. Japanese. Suzaku was Japanese. And being Japanese… being Japanese … meant elimination. What? No. Him being Japanese meant nothing. So what if he was Japanese. No, it meant something. No. It did. No. Wrong. No, not Suzaku. Not him. ]

No... no, no. Oh please, no—I can’t, I can't...

[ Not ever. Not in a million years would she—but Japanese. NO. There was no reason, she couldn’t. She wouldn’t! She CAN’T—but she MUST! Because he was JAPANESE—and they all must— ]

No, please! NO!

[ A cry. A plea. A beg for mercy that this terrible, monstrous, utterly unfair and cruel of heart thought to leave her MIND. It ran through and coursed through her body like an inferior presence, an order she can never deny She refused! She will NEVER! Yet it reminds her, and its already decided. It squeezed, and it SHOUTED. And every ounce of her crumbled her to wilt as she found herself falling to the floor succumbing to its will. It was cruel. It was disgusting. How could she ever—but they were Japanese. Japanese. Kill the Japanese. Kill the Japanese. Kill the Japanese. Kill them. Kill them all. Euphemia, you will— ]


That's r-right... I have to.

I have to kill all the Japanese.

spaceforged: (I'm just young enough to still believe)

Takashi 'Shiro' Shirogane | End of Season 2 spoilers | The end of the beginning

[personal profile] spaceforged 2018-05-20 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ooc: The following themes are to be watched for war, violence, and psychological attack. More warnings to follow if needed.]

Everything starts with the red glare of space. The cockpit is devoid of life, the controls unresponsive and the weight of shock settles over all five paladins. Shiro stares at his controls and his hands tighten around them.

"Everybody, listen." His shock and grief go into the back of his head as he continues, his voice carrying through the coms. "We have to fight. We have to channel all our energy." He straightens up and grips his controls as he puts more strength into his voice. They have to focus on now. Or the universe will lose its defender and they'll be dead. "Visualize five becoming one. We have to focus everything we have into moving Voltron."

He still gives them the moment he pauses to gather themselves but his eyes sweep over the humanoid machine lit by purple lights on its body and wings, Zarkon, as it rises from the crater it had made on the leg of the Galra command ship. "We are the last thing standing in the way of Zarkon's total universal domination. I'm not giving up that fight!" And then he calls to each Paladin.

This is where one's influence in the memory begins. Whether one agrees or not, asks questions or not the lion will respond as it does in memory. Fellow paladins will call out their affirmations. Voltron will power up.

But your job is to wake the man the memory belongs to. Pick a path, your first break point begins here.

Mission start.

Whether Shiro is more aware or not past this first break Zarkon sweeps his arm to the side, purple light manifesting as as a long blade over the arm of his mecha. He bursts forward and the battle begins as Voltron's sword meets Zarkon's Shiro calls out orders when necessary but otherwise the battle will be silent with Voltron as a whole focusing on the fight. But Zarkon isn't alone, dark energy rips through space. Voltron will dodge only to be hammered into by Zarkon.

A crushing weight wraps around one's mind and the sensation of something like claws seeking any weak point washes over. It's aimed at the Black Lion and Shiro. "He's trying to control my lion. I can feel him in my mind." Shiro will hold Zarkon off enough they can ram their sword through his mecha's arm. But Zarkon isn't out of the fight. He turns his weapon into a chain that wraps around Voltron's neck and sends energy races through it.

The pain for the rest of the Paladins is agony but Shiro passes out. Voltron breaks into Lions. Break point two! Your task is to call to Shiro and wake him up. He's the closest to waking even if you failed Break point one.

Whether successful or not, the darkness of the memory gives way back to red space and the inside of your or Shiro's cockpit. Voices come in faint at first but as Shiro's memory continues they get stronger.

Keep Zarkon away from the Black Lion!

:Come on! we can't give up!:

(I'm running out of strength, man.)

'Look out!'


The other four lions will be battling against Zarkon and at this point all who entered the memory will find themselves with Shiro in Black. He sits up and catches his breath when a side section of his console slides up, exposing the slot anyone who up until this point were in a different cockpit will recognize. The console for inputting and twisting the bayard to unlock greater power. Shiro looks to Zarkon and throws his lion forward, trusting it as he thinks back to all the times he'd bonded with the Lion. They're on a collision course with Zarkon when something strange happens as the view and the sense of being one singular being overlays the memory.

This is what it's like when a Paladin and Lion are one unit. The lion's wings transform as it roars and they warp in a burst of purple light, surging through a starfilled space and through Zarkon.

On the other side, Shiro holds up the black and purple bayard and it changes in his hand to white and purple glowing marks.

'Whoa...what did you do?'

"I got Zarkon's bayard."

:You mean you've got your bayard.:

Shiro breathes heavily. Through out the fight he's gotten more and more visibly worn down. At this point if the break points are both successful one stays with Shiro. If not, they return to the Lion they are best suited and the memory loops.

But next time will be easier, much easier. If both points have been nailed the memory continues.

"We've only have a few minutes left before power returns to Zarkon's ship! Form Voltron!" The battle resumes but with thankfully better results. The voices of the support side of their team get a smile on Shiro's face. The others are alive.

But the fight has to continue. Zarkon and Voltron rush at each other and Shiro spots an opportunity. "This is our last chance! Let's finish this!" He throws his left control lever forward and Voltron runs the mecha through. But Zarkon isn't finished. He grips Voltron's head where Shiro is as energy gathers in the machine hands. The energy rips into the cockpit and strikes Shiro. He clutches the controls and presses back into his chair with grunt. Pain lashes at his senses as he struggles to endure it and keep Voltron together. He glances to his right and the slot for the bayard lights up frantically. He lifts the bayard and slams into it the slot, growling through the attack and twists it. The cockpit is abruptly light up all along the walls and floor tracks.

And the memory.

Ends.

[ooc: Only successful break through will see the final section. The first two sections will repeat until the break through.]

Break Point Two

[personal profile] modelcivilian 2018-05-21 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Adrien, for a moment, was overwhelmed by the memory. After all, he doesn't even realize where he was for a few seconds until 'Voltron' was called to be form. He knew that voice - he could try following that command, but then the kicker was, he was piloting a lion. The metallic panels around him were steel gray, black, and blue. The outfit he wore too was blue.

... Was he piloting the Blue Lion?

Maybe it was because he doesn't know what he's doing that Voltron came apart, or maybe it was the memory. They should be able to communicate with the others, right? Turning the Lion, there's the Black Lion now unmoving. How was he going to get to Shiro and not alter the memory too much? That voice did say protect the Black Lion...

Gritting his teeth, he pushed the Lion to go forward.

"Hold on Shiro!"

He'll protect the Black Lion and maybe at some point, he'd figure out how to get Shiro to leave this memory.

It's black and white, and obvious whomever designed or oversaw had a modernist eye when it came to the large foyer of this mansion. The floor, the walls, the columns, the rails, and the stairs, white predominated, but the black accented and broke it apart. Black marble trimmings, black doors and planters, and the design on the ground as well as marking lines.

It'd probably be nice with more color, and people... and if one huge black painting didn't just hang at the top of the stairs overlooking the front door. Overall, the feeling was more office waiting room than a home's foyer.

But, there was the sound of music being played somewhere from above the location. To the astute of hearing, it was coming from the right staircase, somewhere further down the hall. To others, might as well look around, right?

It's clean... but also empty. Madhuri couldn't help rubbing her upper arms while admiring the heart-breaking grandiosity of the sheer size of the room. This was marble, so much marble, and not a hint of it came cheap. This was the home of someone with a great deal of money, and here she was pretty much tracking a bit of ship full dust on the floor.

Whoops.

The heel clicks echoed as she proceeded up the stairs, keeping her horns peeled for the piano music. Surely, whoever was here didn't mind if she listened a little closer. Besides... she needed to know what lay at the core of this memory. After Monika, she had to be ready for anything.

Team Do It for the Vine[Closed to Nanamo, Okuyasu, Madhuri, and Prompto]

[personal profile] sirenslight 2018-05-21 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[In being randomly assigned this team of people, Mythra's expectations had been, well, nothing as to who they would be. There were many oddities in this world, and frankly anything strange at this point she had long since learned to brush off with an eye roll and perhaps, if not going to make her look like an idiot, a question. She at least hoped she was with people who were competent, given that this was supposed to be a dangerous expedition into the unknown and she really would not like to die any time soon.

[Mythra took her sweet damned time getting to the airship. Namely on her appearance, she had learned during this time that first impressions meant everything, so when meeting new people, she logically had to look the best. Just act like Pyra, she told herself, and everything would be alright. People seemed to like her, after all.

[She stepped onto the ship to join the team of intrepid adventurers on their exploration. Her eyes shot a very small, perhaps not noticeable to anyone not paying close attention glare to Okuyasu when she saw him. Great. That buffoon was here. But there were three other people here, so he could be conveniently ignored. She in fact, made sure to not look at him, so she wouldn't get all pissy and likely end up in another fight, and flashed a smile.]


"Hey, I'm not late am I?"
righthandstand: (someone's going to die)

[personal profile] righthandstand 2018-05-21 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Everything was going well. Stray Cat was temporarily housed elsewhere, Okuyasu could study for school someplace where he wouldn't feel the judging stares of other students, he'd be in space! This was going to be cool! He already picked a comfy spot on the couch attached to the wall. With few passengers, he claims one for himself, propping a leg on the seat and stretching himself over it. This is delinquent turf, and he's going to enjoy it.

Or not. He turns to the footsteps approaching the entryway with surprise, punctuated with a glare. This chick.

He turns away looks at the island standing in the middle of the lobby. He's so cool and above her, he won't grace her with a second glance.]

Johnny D'Amico | United Earth Prisoner | OTA

[personal profile] charming_jerk 2018-05-21 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[The world of Exsilium was Hell on Earth. A planet awash in nuclear winter, grey and dead, but still housing some human life. This is where Johnny and countless others had been brought to in order to help fight in a war to save the planet, using time travel as their major weapons. It's not a period of his life that Johnny likes to talk about. He might tell you that he didn't mind fighting, but it was a traumatic experience.

This memory, however, quickly moves to a place that's a stark contract to the island of Exsilum; it's sleek and futuristic, almost sterile. It's a shining beacon in the dingy darkness of the constant rain that nuclear winter brings. The memory is hazy at first, fading in and out. Only snippets can be seen, starting with Johnny feeling like he's been dropped into this place without knowing how he'd gotten there.

He's suddenly being led through a medical facility by two orderlies, who lead him into a room, then shut and lock the door behind him. Johnny is immediately in combat mode, frightened like a caged animal. The facility workers certainly don't expect that door to suddenly explode off its hinges, as Johnny kicks it out with ferocious, inhuman force. He tries to make a break for it, not knowing where he's even running to, before several armored guards come in and jump him. Johnny manages to throw them off and land a few punches that knock the guards out with one hit, which shocks the other ones. They call for backup, which arrives quick enough to swarm him. They don't hurt him, though - when enough grab him to slow him down, he's sedated by a frightened doctor carrying a syringe.

The memory fades in and out several times like this. Johnny awakens to find himself being poked and prodded by doctors, who weren't expecting him to come around so soon. He throws them off, and tries to fight his way out, but they're ready for him in subsequent attempts with a pile of guards and drugs. But Johnny can hardly control himself when he awakes to these scene. This is like the nightmares he'd get from a life of being sent from doctor to doctor, specialist to specialist, and consuming one too many horror movies. It's something he'd always been afraid might someday happen to him, and now it has. Where he becomes a thing, and not a person, just an experiment for doctors and scientists to test on and examine. He can't fight back like he could the first time now, either, as they've done something to negate his powers for now.

He's not the only one there. Many others from Exsilium had been kidnapped and brought to the United Earth facilities, and were going through the same processes. Those cooperating could at least mingle in between their tests and exams, trying to plan their escape and a way to contact their allies. Johnny, though, was locked away in a cell block, with a few extra guards on standby. He only gets to see his allies in passing over the weeks. His time in between exams and meal times are long and lonely.

The memory flashes forward to a moment of chaos in the facility. Alarms ring, workers scramble, guards flood towards doors. His allies from Exsilium have arrived, after two weeks, to mount a rescue. Johnny tries to use this moment to escape, breaking the door open, but some guards catch him before he can get very far. This time, though, they're ignoring their instructions to keep the patients unharmed, since this guy is far too dangerous. Johnny's a good fighter, but he's outnumbered by trained fighters with armor and weapons. They viciously beat him and throw him back into the cell, barricading the door with objects from around the cell blocks. Satisfied that he won't be going anywhere soon, the guards head back towards the outside to meet the Transports on their way in.

About 30 minutes later, Johnny rouses. He makes a weak effort to push through the broken door and barricade, but he doesn't have the strength left in him at the moment. He has no idea what's going on out there, but he has an idea. And he can only hope that someone, anyone on his side, will hear him down in this lonely cell block.]


Hey! HEY! Is anyone out there! C'mon! Let me out of here! Please!

[It was hard to follow it all. Reno felt disoriented as soon as the images began, and the strange and sudden changes of scenery didn't help. Johnny's emotions swept over him like waves in a storm; rage, fear, confusion, fear, FEAR...]

[His heart was pounding in his chest. He thought he was going to die. Everything was rage and terror, and he couldn't understand what was happening as his head was filled with blaring alarms and someone slammed him into a wall. He lay there, dazed, confused, and lost... until he heard a familiar voice calling for help.]


J... Johnny?

[Reno pushed himself up and held his head. Everything was so loud.]

Johnny, that you?

Aqua ☆ A Thorny Pathway ☆ Spoiler for KH 0.2

[personal profile] keytoblivion 2018-05-21 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is dark all around; at first glance one might assume it's merely nighttime… but a closer look might betray something else entirely going on. The forest making up this particular memory is eery and hauntingly quiet – there is no wind blowing, no soft breeze to move even the slightest stalk of grass, and no animal life chirping.

The only person moving along the path, is Aqua, her expression wary as she studies her surroundings.]


Another world I know…

[Except maybe she isn't quite the only person because further along the path two boys slowly make their way, Aqua's eyes widening when she spots them and in the next second she already starts to sprint to catch up to them, hope and despair warring on her face as she runs.

It's no use though – before she even has the chance to reach them, both boys disappear in a swirl of golden dust… and before Aqua can even make another step, large thorny vines shoot out of the ground to block her path. Aqua jumps back at that, her wrist turning slightly as a large key-shaped weapon falls into her hand and she snaps at the vines:]


Get out of my way!

[That is the only warning they receive before Aqua cuts them down – them and the dark creatures that start appearing in her path as she continues straight on, chasing after the golden phantoms of the boys.

After a little while she reaches a clearing, where a giant creature is waiting – her grip right tight around her Keyblade as she shouts:]


You really think you can keep me away from my friends?

[Okuyasu instinctively swipes his hand before the vines, forgetting that he was in his memory world. No Stand appeared, and the thorns do not disappear. His powers were not returned.

The next option is to grab the thick vines (avoiding pricking himself on the thorns by pulling his sleeves up to cover his palms - he's a bit proud of thinking ahead - and tugging on them as hard as he can.]

Castor | Lord of the Inferno | CW for Fire and Mind Control | OTA

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-21 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It's hot.

The beginnings of sweat prickle the back of your neck and shoulders. Air hangs heavy in your lungs. Sand and dust and ash make it hard to see and harder to breathe.

There's a weapon across your back, or at your hip. You're not sure how it got there.

It's hot. And you're not alone.

Surrounding you is a gaggle of scared-looking humans, some lightly armoured, some in simple cloth robes. Among them is at least one familiar face; Castor, looking more frightened than you've ever seen her. Her hair is cropped short, and she's wearing none of her usual vestements. Beside her, a man with darker skin, red hair combed back into a soft pompadour and feline ears looks just as perturbed by the situation. Standing gaurd around the humans are large, muscular, black skinned Beastmen, with tails growing from head and rump alike. They are to a one armed with lances and the one who stands ahead of the crowd is bedecked with jewlery of some sort.

"Oh mighty Ifrit," the lead beastman growls, "Lord of the Inferno! Your humble servants beseech You! Grace us with Your divine presence!" You're not sure how you understand him; to your ears, his words sound like gutteral growls and barks, but his words come clear in your mind nonetheless.

You don't have long to wonder. Above you, a small bead of light appears against the eclipsed sun. It grows and flames begin to coalesce around it, spinning faster and faster and brighter and you find you must avert your gaze. When you look back, a figure has emerged from the flames, and when it slams down on the ground before you, the sight is a truley unnerving one.

"Oh mighty Ifrit," the leader continues, "We bring before You ignorant savages who know not Your godhead! If it pleases You, Lord, scorch their heathen souls with Your cleansing flame, and mark them as Your own!"

The humans in the crowd grow more frightened, and you hear scared whispers from the lot. "B-Bloody hells!" exclaimes one nearby. There's more movement behind you, but Castor moves closer to her Miqo'te companion, the pair taking a step back almost in unison. Before long, another growl adds itself to the cacophony, this one far louder and lower than the beastman's had been. It takes you a moment to realize it's Ifrit himself.

"Pitiful children of man!" his words seem to reverberate in your soul, "By my breath I claim you! Arise once more as my loyal minions! Feed my flames with your faith, and all who stand against us shall burn!"

The humans are openly begging now as Ifrit rears back and roars, exhaling a blue flame that washes across the assembled. The beastmen don't seem bothered in the slightest but to a man, the humans try to shield themselves. The flames roll over you harmlessly, and you can see Castor and her companion looking both at their hands, then at one another, a look of confusion and absolute relief taking turns on their faces. When the blue glow of the flames die away, there is a moment of pregnant silence, suddenly shattered.

"O-oh mighty Ifrit!"

One of the humans, an armoured one, stumbles forward, his arms outstretched towards the nascent god. He's soon joined by another, and another still, all proclaiming their love and fealty to the creature. The lead beastman turns to observe, and his already angry features grow angrier when he notices the pair who seem unaffected.

"Impossible! By what sorcery do you resist my master's will!?" At his outburst, the other beastmen grow alarmed. The Miqote reaches for the lance on his back and Castor's hands ball into fists. The leader continues, "Could it be...? Your souls already belong to another!? Yes, that is the only explaination!" The crowd steps away as Ifrit snarls in displeasure.

"Forsooth, thy frail mortal frames can serve as vesself to the blessing of but One. Yet I smell not the taint of another upon thee...The truth of thine allediance waxeth clear! Thou art of the godless blessed's number! The Paragons warned of thine abhorrent kind. Thine existance is not to be suffered!"

The beast roars again and slams the ground with one mighty clawed hand. It grows even hotter as flames erupt from the ground, encircling the Primal and his resistors alike. The Miqo'te whips his lance around properly, taking a low stance. Castor slides up to the balls of her feet and brings her fists up. Ifrit roars his challenge.

---

The memory will loop from here until you either 1) Help Castor and her buddy kill Ifirt or 2) Some how convince her that this isn't real. The NPCs won't notice you at first but if you choose to join in combat Ifrit will, and the more you try and talk to Castor, the more likely you are to be noticed by the others.

Feel free to choose from one of FFXIV's Disciple of War or Magic classes if you wish to take part in combat! This is a level 20 instance so the abilities are somewhat limited!

Co-starring this memory is our own darling Sam ( As seen on [profile] deeptrust) playing Castor's favourite Catboy, W'shian, her very bestest friend! Look out for replies from [personal profile] coldforged!

It's hot. He's had that thought before so many times. The heat pours in and washes over him and he leans back, breathing shallowly to ride out the shock of the switch. The taste of ash. The feeling of a strong wooden staff against the backs of his robed shoulders. The hood over his face and partly in his eyes keeps the worst of the glare at bay.

He lifts his right hand and stares at it. Normal flesh greets his eyes. The forelock of hair plastered to his face with sweat is still white. He shoves it out of the way. The sight that greets him is sheer hell. His breath escapes him before he can hold it back and the air that comes back into his mouth and throat is heavy and doesn't help at all.

Shiro shoves his hood back and paces among the gathered people, weaving through them with steady steps. The fear etched on the faces of the prisoners is so familiar he would know it anywhere. People with no hope look like that. He draws the staff and slows his steps, eyes on the black skinned aliens that have faces enough like Galra to stir up a focused anger.

Claws. Probably teeth. Strength. The idea that this is a memory fades as he spins the staff, moving with sure purpose. Tails to dodge. A staff has long reach and while he isn't the fastest, he can make them suffer. It's nice and heavy too.

There won't be human blood spilled here if he has anything to say about it. He surges forward with deadly purpose and freezes cold as a voice made of growls and barks translates in his mind. Lord of the Inferno?

He glances back at the people as his blood turns cold. Are they going to sear them alive?! Light from above. He jerks the hood back over his head and uses it to lessen the glare. Flames spin faster and faster in a dizzying display. He looks away from it, gripping his staff as the earth beneath his feet seems to scream. The air too as if the world around him has a voice and only he is privy to it. He claps a hand over his ear and sinks down. "Stop it. Qui-"

Dirt and debris fly up as something crashes into the ground, and the blast of heat from it is as bad as times he got too close to explosions. He bites back a curse and catches movement behind him. His gaze snags on Castor. Her hair is shorter and she looks a little younger, but he recognizes her from the way she moves. Light, like she could fly over the ground.

Well, at least he knows who he needs to help. He turns back as words pour into his soul that have no right to invade. The Earth beneath him whispers angrily and the wind curls around him as if waiting for his word. The beast roars as he whispers to the wind to gather close. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing but earth and wind are answering him.

Hit it with a rock comes to mind. He chuckles despite himself. It's that or get enraged and he can't afford that right now when the begging people need help. The beast roars and his laugh that had bubbled up again halts. He throws up his arms to shield himself as blue flames roar over him but lets the earth strike and rocks rip past him. It doesn't do anything but pass through. He turns catching sight of Castor again with her cat eared friend.

No one is burned alive but as the silence descends a horrible dread rears up from and the earth's lament doesn't spell anything good.

'O-oh mighty Ifrit!'

His stomach lurches and he covers his mouth with his hand as acid coats the back of his tongue. He breathes through his nose to ride out the nausea. He can't get sick. The memory keeps going, uncaring of his feelings and he's kind of grateful for that as the earth offers him solace. He thanks it and takes it into himself. Instinct.

Impossible! By what sorcery do you resist my master's will!?

"More like your evil overlord but, who am I to judge?" He mutters to himself and straightens up, planting the butt of his staff against the ground and rising to his feet. He thacks his staff against one open palm and takes the time to just breathe. This is heading towards a fight and the beast keeps talking he pulls on the earth. It answers him eagerly. Like it wants to bash the thing to pieces. Good to work with a like minded partner.

With heat like that he doesn't dare get closer. His staff wouldn't like it. But if the earth and wind will keep working with him...he glances to Castor one more time.

"Go time?" A blast of renewed, worse heat than ever before nearly takes him from his feet. Shiro digs his staff into the ground and growls, leaning into the blast. Weapons are drawn and the challenging roar is enough for him.

He's going to give this offender new meaning to Hit it with a rock. "Go! I'll cover you!" He calls to the two still sane. Even if this is just a memory. He's going to see this through. If it loops...well.

He'll come to that later.

boomchucka: (be careful of my heart)

Selphie | The Answer | cw: gore/death

[personal profile] boomchucka 2018-05-22 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
There was a world known to some of the current residents of Vaikuntha as Crystallis. There were many people there from all different walks of life and many of them ended up living together. To Selphie, it wasn't really a bad place but just a place with a lot of problems that needed fixing.

Today's tale is the story of five of them who found themselves whisked to the other side of the world during their sleep. They'd gotten their wits about them fairly quickly and set off on finding a way back to the city of Aqures Ixen. The five were housemates with some cheerful, grumpy, sassy and serious types mixed in together. They were an odd group but they got along fairly well.

During their search for a port, the group came across a little boy with spiky hair that was desperately searching for his mother. The two had gotten separated while out in the wild and the boy was very worried about his mother. Being the kind of people that they were, the group had readily agreed to help the boy look for his mother. The leader with purple hair easily decided what positions each of the group would hold in their travels and had settled into a quick search for the mother. The boy was left with Selphie and a dark-haired woman near the rear of the group.

"We're gonna save her and we're gonna patch her up, good as new!" Selphie said in a reassuring tone to the boy despite her own misgivings. Even she knew that things weren't looking very good.

Their advancement eventually brought them to a river where there had been obvious signs of an attack. Before long, the group had found a woman with pink hair in a bloody heap at the river's bank. The group set to work with the leader and the blonde put in the front set to work with Selphie in an attempt to save the woman's life.

"Yuri, do you have any medicinal supplies?" the blonde asked while checking for a pulse, faint as it was.

Selphie was quick to rush to the front of the group and knelt next to the woman in the mud with a grave look on her face. A shabby sword was belted at her waist as the perky brunette quickly brought her hands out in front of her and began to cast a healing spell on the woman.

"Try not to move her too much, Flynn." Selphie ordered as she started concentrating on the spell. "We could make any injuries she has worse and longer to heal up."

The perky brunette knew that the situation was dire and began to mutter a mantra of please be okay... please be okay... because she couldn't bear to see another child orphaned at the expense of a situation that could have been avoided.

The wounds the woman bore on her torso were deep and looked fresh as Flynn placed the woman on her back with her head on his lap. Selphie nodded at Yuri's request to keep the healing magic going as he searched for antiseptic and other supplies.

"I'm on it, Yuri!" Selphie affirmed before becoming hyper-focused and trying to ignore the tremble in her hands.

"C'mon Lady," Selphie pleaded while beginning to curse her own inadequacies. "Nobody's dying today!"

"Can you hear us? What is your name?" Flynn queried as blood continued to soak the front of the pink haired woman's clothing.

Selphie's hands faltered slightly at the sight of so much blood and the wounds were beyond her capabilities as a healer as she heard Yuri shouting at another of their companions to get it together. She was still getting accustomed to using her own mana and it still wasn't enough as the trembling in her hands became more pronounced with each passing second.

"Now's not the time to panic!" Selphie shouted at the group, her own voice tinged with panic. "C'mon lady... what about your son?" Selphie beseeched. "Do you want him to be all alone?!"

Nobody deserved to be without their parents. Nobody needed to wind up in a fate similar to her own as the simple cure spell seemed to have some effect on the woman. Her eyes opened to reveal nearly white eyes save for the pupil as she gasped for air. Her hand instinctively wrapped around Yuri's wrist as a second set of hands began applying pressure to some of the deeper wounds.

"Dear...?" the woman asked in a faint voice.

The second set of hands pressed the wounds tightly as a head of orange hair came into Selphie's view. He sounded desperate as he spoke to the brunette alone. "Keep at it, Selphie."

The woman made a curious noise before her other hand grasped wildly at the air, searching for the other boy.

"Gatta...? Is that you, sweetie?" the woman asked as tears welled in her eyes with the faintest trace of fear. She coughed up blood before she spoke again. "I'm...I'm glad I got to see you two one last time..."

Her breathing was growing heavier and slower with each passing moment and Selphie knew that it was too late. She was going to watch someone die, powerless to do anything about it. Her hands continued to shake as the dying woman continued speaking. Her hand gripped at Yuri's wrist steadfastly as she tried to beckon the orange-haired boy closer.

"Don't cry, my love...and please...live on without me. Survive, and hold onto the hope...that someone will finally come to rescue us from this dying world..."

There were frantic pleas from Yuri to keep living. Don't give up. Your kid was waiting for you. All the while, Selphie's mana gave out and as her hands faltered for the last time. The perky brunette's head dropped to stare at the ground with a deep shame settling into her mind.

"G-guys... I can't keep going..." Selphie stumbled out as her hands fell into her lap with tears of her own standing in her eyes. "Why does it have to end like this again?"

"Who did this to you?!" the orange haired boy demanded as the woman began to breathe her last. She wasn't long for Crystallis in her current state as her hand eventually cupped the orange-haired boy's cheek as she smiled for his sake.

"Don't worry, my love. I wasn't paying attention...It was only the monsters of the forest..." she said slowly before rolling her head to look at Yuri one last time.

"I'm not long for this world, dear. I'm glad I fought for as long as I did, but--"

Suddenly, the woman gasped. It appeared that the woman's death would happen before long as her hands loosened and fell to the earth. She was fearful of her fate and suddenly didn't want to meet her maker.

"...Is this your answer..." she breathed out in finality before becoming still.

Life was cruel---that was the only explanation for why these things kept happening. Tidus hurried forward, recognizing a terrible familiarity about the distraught child and his mother. It certainly brought up his own feelings, but he needed to shove those aside. For now, he knew that exhausted healer---and she needed someone.

"Selphie," he breathed miserably, kneeling by the group and bowing his head. He had no clue where he was or what he was supposed to do, but he remembered: she was a friend.

Nanamo Ul Namo | A Good Memory

[personal profile] nanaimo_bar 2018-05-22 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
It was strange, standing here in the gardens of Ala Mhigo.

The evening was upon them, and the stars were out and about. The Bole hung high above the skies of the desert kingdom as Nanamo smiled up at Raubahn who smiled back at her.

The man stood there, silent, a protector, and his eyes rimmed with tears. "Do I have to go?" asked Raubahn.

"You must," said Nanamo softly. "You have guided me for a very long time Raubahn, please take it upon yourself to love yourself. And lead the people of Ala Mhigo to a triumphant return."

"Your Grace," said Raubahn. "There is naught I can say in order to soothe the ache in my heart."

"Naught but smiles and tears, dear Raubahn," said Nanamo.

Those who would see Nanamo in this happy moment would be playing the role of the Warrior, who watched from the door. It almost seemed cruel to separate her from this happy memory, no matter how bittersweet it was.

And yet, your Grace, it is time to awaken.

Unlike seeing his friends' memories, this was different because he didn't know where he found himself, and he didn't know what he was looking at. That was a good clue that he was in a memory again, just an unfamiliar one.

He was just glad he wasn't in one of his own memories.

He recognized her as one of his teammates for the mission and even though he was in a memory he still felt nervous. He could kick himself for that.

Prompto approached, even though she looked happy and he cleared his throat. "H-Hey." He swallowed. "Nanamo right?"

zanarkandian: (the worst day ever)

Tidus | a broken dream | cw: death, bullying

[personal profile] zanarkandian 2018-05-22 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
It begins on a rocky cliff overlooking a rough beach. The skies are grey, an omen of the danger to come. On the cliff are numerous people in formal robes, looking important. The main line of defense up here is a giant cannon. In the midst of this group is a mostly-younger party, a summoner and her guardians, that looks somewhat out of place. Tidus stands among them, clueless.

He finds himself looking down at the beach. Young warriors line it, armed with cannons, guns, and there are a few Chocobo-riding knights with swords as well. They're all watching the stormy sea, waiting for something to happen.

And happen it does. A large creature, something like a scorpion, falls in front of the summoner party. A difficult battle ensues: there's a head casting dangerous spells, arms swatting the party, and a fearsome body to tackle. (point 1)

That is the prelude to the bigger fish to fry. A large whale-like armored creature rises from the ocean, far taller than the cliff. The warriors charge, the cannon is fired, and the creature---Sin---responds with an all-powerful gravity spell, vaporizing the warriors on the beach in a pulse of terrifying light. Its crushing power affects all, even those outside of the direct kill zone---those on the cliffs are brought to their knees, and Tidus, standing too close, falls to the beach below. Surviving, but barely. (point 2)

He stirs a few moments later, awakened by the heavy feeling in the air. Still corpses litter the beach, and he looks greener with every step. The scale of it is newly horrifying. Worst of all, Sin has the nerve to simply leave after causing all that destruction. Finally, after being uncharacteristically quiet for so long, he speaks.

"Hey, you! Don't you run away from me!"

He breaks into a sprint, dives into the icy water, and swims past rusting ruins on the ocean floor and floating remains above. He has only one goal in mind: to reach that no-good, gloating, overconfident, rude, murderous father of his. Rainbow lights come closer and closer, threatening to draw him and any unaware onlookers in. (point 3)

[[ooc: Here it is! The scene will repeat as necessary, of course, and here are your choices: point one for combat, point two for some standard sense-slapping, and point three for family drama. All will be elaborated as necessary.]]

Let's see how many points we can reach, starting from point 1!

[personal profile] cidsgirl 2018-05-22 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
Rikku is hit with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia when she suddenly finds herself back in Spira. She questions the existence of Vaikuntha, but her spiraling thoughts are quickly ceased at the sight of a machina war cannon placed in her vicinity. It's of Al Bhed origin, and Rikku hasn't seen one of these in quite some time. They used to be littered throughout Mushroom Rock Road in preparation for Operation Mi'ihen. She went once with her father, Cid, before being ordered to follow through with another mission.

A crusader jogs passed her, and when she watches him keep forward, she notices the backs of a familiar group people she once fought alongside. There they stand, their attention focused below the cliff. Rikku's heart begins to pound as she grows more and more confused. Suddenly, a Sin Spawn strikes in front of that group, granting her absolutely no time to take everything in.

But Yuna is out there, and this all feels too real for Rikku to deny. A gun is attached to her person, ready to be equipped. She's wearing the same outfit she wore in Vaikuntha just moments ago and she doesn't allow herself the time to make much sense of it. She runs toward the battle scene with a lump in her throat and a strong sense of anguish clouding her heart.

You got it!

Irhya Pendhula | The Parting Glass | cw: violence, amputation(?)

[personal profile] omnicrafter 2018-05-22 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
"This woman stands accused of poisoning Her Royal Majesty Nanamo Ul Namo. And as suspected accessories to the crime, all members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn will be detained for questioning!"

Her body hits the floor, hard. Hands bound behind her back, she is powerless but to land on her shoulder and then roll upright, but the look she passes Ilberd is one with a poison more potent than the one that has killed the Sultana.

Not this.

"What a pity," he intones condescendingly. He is still wearing his Crystal Braves uniform; the impulse to stand up and splash him in the blood of his godsforsaken partners-in-crime rips through her. "Who'd have thought your tale would end like this?"

Not by you.

"Should you demand further proof, a vial with traces of the substance used to poison Her Grace was found upon the assassin's person."

This time, it's Teledji Adeledji, whose tiny little neck she would very much like to stab a pointy object through right about now. Bloodlust doesn't suit her; the conjurers at Stillglade Fane had always warned her about the dangers of "imbalance" or something like that. Like they had any room to talk about imbalances, when there is one standing right in front of her, wagging his finger at her like he has the moral high ground.

Useless.

It's all too convenient, something Y'shtola is quick to note and have thrown back in her face by the accusers. Minfilia, too, attempts to stand her ground, only for yet another round of proverbial shots to be fired at the Scions for their supposed "plot". More nails in the coffin that she just happened to fall into, all too easily...

The exchange continues until Raubahn, lost in his own deep, abject disbelief, attempts to move towards the door, only for his path to be blocked. Truth be told, much of the conversation until now has gone in one of Irhya's ears and out the other as she simmers in her own loathing, but Raubahn's newfound capacity to react draws her attention.

"Stand aside, Ilberd! I want to see the sultana!"

"Spare yourself the pain, brother. I saw her with my own eyes. For a mercy, the poison took her swiftly -- her handmaiden can attest to that."

Handmaiden. Oh, of course. Was there anyone not in on this from the very beginning...?

For Raubahn to then fall to his knees, scream at the top of his lungs, and slam the floor tile with all the force he can muster signals a point of despair in him that Irhya has never seen before in anyone else. Whereas her impulse for these backstabbing fools is to end them, to ensure they never get to take coin for another job ever again -- her impulse for Raubahn is to reach out, to bury her face into his back and cry out. She didn't know. She didn't know...

But then, Teledji Adeledji makes a mistake. In the same breath as proclaiming the Monetarists should govern Ul'dah in the wake of the Royalists' incompetence, he offers the Flame General the opportunity to plan the sultana's funeral.

None of them are so foolish, least of all Raubahn himself.

The thread of sanity that snaps at that moment is practically audible as Raubahn clenches his jaw and rises to raise his voice, so high on raw fury that his speech even begins to slur a little: "You had her killed, you black-hearted bastard!"

For a brief while, the insults fly. So, then, does Raubahn's blade, right through Teledji Adeledji's neck.

The attendees of the banquet, up until now, have been silent through the exchange. Now, with the corpse on the ground, eyes rolled up into his skull, the screaming and mass panic begins. Lolorito makes a tactless and altogether rehearsed remark from the other side of the room; somewhere halfway between his starting point and crossing the room to claim his next victim, Ilberd's sword swings.

Raubahn's left arm drops to the floor with a grotesque thump.

((OOC: So, Irhya's in fetters, Raubahn has a stump for an arm and is kneeling helpless before Ilberd, and the rest of the Scions are surrounded by Crystal Braves just waiting to take them down with one wrong movement. Your character will be an onlooker in the crowd, and in terms of class/job or combat ability, it's flexible and totally up to you how/if you want to help. (For the record, Irhya herself is still a conjurer at this point in time.)

What do, then!?))

[personal profile] carnageandclass 2018-05-24 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
This feels weird. She's watching the entire thing in shock and awe as the players shuffle along and play their roles but fact that they're throwing out accusations and it feels like they're refusing to listen to the accused. Now Camilla is not the type to just bum rush a situation unless there's a reason for her to do so: and then she sees Irhya trapped and her heart stops for a moment.

Sure she has only known the miqo'te for a couple months but it was nice to have a fellow comrade and...it was frustrating to see her trapped like this. But then there's those men...and there's an axe strapped to her back. Instinct takes over and the closest Crystal Brave is the poor sod who is the first target; taking the axe off her back, she slashes the man in his back. If blood comes out, well...she ain't gonna complain.

"Oops, was that my doing?" Her tone is rather coy as she speaks, smirking because this is going to be a bit of fun. "Why don't we even the playing field so to speak?"

She was not a thinker, she used her weapons to speak and for now...Camilla was going to fight back whatever this was.

Elhaym Van Houten | The Haves and Have-Nots | cw: blood, implied cannibalism, potential self-harm

[personal profile] worldmother 2018-05-22 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At first, it hardly seems any different here. The rhythmic whir of machinery echoing off of strangely sterile steel walls; the gentle, distant gurgle of fluid forced through piles. Perhaps that bit of turbulence has finally passed, and all has managed to right itself. It's only as the world begins to fully will itself into existence, as voices begin to rise in cacophonous, bellowing anguish and confusion that you get any indication that this might not be the airship they were once on.

Then comes the smell, the almost overwhelming stench of bodies falling apart. Standing there, moaning and crying out for salvation, those still with their sanity in-tact have taken to forming lines; and those too far gone, listless, ambling mobs. Acrid and nauseating, and made infinitely worse by the heat of what now appears to be a factory filled with "people," those not covered by bloodied and dirtied bandages and rags clutch each other, shrinking away from the fallen body of a large, vaguely humanoid mass.

Standing nearby, a rod-like weapon held in her hand, is Elly. Shoulders rising and falling as she catches her breath, her weapon retracts and is quickly sheathed at her side. Amidst the terrified and pained groans around them, her expression is surprisingly placid, even as she turns toward this person who has somehow found their way to her side. Her gaze locked, she offers her hand out to you, a look of unwavering conviction on her face. ]


Please, lend me your weapon.

[ Strange, when did that blade show up on your belt? ]

[ Just when she thought maybe she was out of the madness, the realm she finds herself in now tells her that it's only beginning. Just like the others, this one also made little sense. Dark and unwelcoming along with a putrid stench. A hand rose immediately to cover her mouth and nose. The sounds of the strange creatures not near as eerie as their appearance. This was a nightmare, a terrible one.

She's ill-prepared for this scene as the massive creature that laid before them. It wasn't the size that had her alarmed, yet its appearance that made her a little unsure as to whether or not she should be here at all. And to think she believed her world had its horrors. There were some that clearly lived in them. ]


Oooh... this could be really bad.

[ Yet concern switches to determination as she rushes over to join the woman's side, eager to assist despite not knowing what was going on. And then came the call for assistance which drew her attention. ]

Weapon? Sorry lady, I don't have any weapon on—

[ A sentence she never finishes as her eyes catch sight of the blade at her hip. When DID that show up, she wonders. ]

... Uh. Are you sure?
