TDM #3
DREAMING (new characters)
At first, there is nothing. You are nothing. Whatever existed before ceases to be if for a moment. Then, bit by bit, you start to become aware. Where there was not even darkness now is a dim haze, gentle and almost mist-like. You have limbs again and beneath your feet lays a path of light reaching out like limbs of a great tree beneath you, twisting and climbing out into the horizon.

You take a step forward for what else is there to do? As you walk you begin to remember what it was you were doing before the nothingness; maybe something as simple as chatting with a loved one or close friend. Maybe you were just beginning a great journey or facing off against an old foe. Whatever it was, you get the distinct feeling that wherever and whenever that was, it is not here. Not now.

The path of light twists off into different directions. When you look up you can see that it is not a sky above you but the sky of everything, a grand cosmic tapestry littered with not mere stars but galaxies and clusters of galaxies that gleam like crystals against the velvety backdrop of space. Admire it for a moment, if you will. You don't know how long you will drift here, but you are not alone. Other wanderers will come and go as you bask together in the vastness of creation.

It seems to you that there are two paths to walk in this place, the light and dark beckoning in turn.

THE LIGHT AT THE CENTER
One leads you to the center, splintered fragments folding together and colliding until only one thing remains: a light that speaks to you with the voice of all there is and has ever been. It greets you simultaneously as an old friend and as a lost child, both rejoicing in and mourning your arrival. You remember it too, somehow, with a feeling of complex nostalgia, as if returning to a place recalled from your distant childhood.

You’ll feel the same of the other wanderers that join you in the light; you know their faces, their voices, and as you reflect upon the world of your birth, you may witness fragments of theirs as well. You feel a comradery, then, a synchronicity of thought and emotion. Are the lives of others truly so different from your own? Or are you simply two hands of the same, greater being? Though some individualistic part of you may resist, the longer you spend in the light, the more you will find yourself becoming one with it.

Despite this welcoming call, no matter how eagerly your pursue its embrace, before you can fully submerge yourself in this oneness you will find yourself being torn away. As if seized by the impossibly long, cold arm of a creature unseen, you are plucked from the edge of fulfillment. The last thing you will remember is the sensation of your world, and all the others your experienced here, collapsing into nothingness.

THE DARK OUTSIDE (CW: deep despair, ego death)
The other leads towards the outside, where the splintering becomes so great that the vestiges of reality can do nothing but collapse back into the abyss at the end of everything. As you wander to these barren outskirts, your thoughts will not be drawn to familiarity and oneness, but instead to memories of discontent and waste. The darker the path becomes, the more you find yourself dwelling on life’s disappointments and injustices, of the things about yourself and your world you find wanting.

If you see others here, at first they will feel frightening or contemptible, as if representing to you the worst experiences in your life. Even if they are someone you’re certain you know, that familiarity and affection will be stripped away in the face of the great emptiness before you. In the end, you were all the same. In the end, none of this was worth it. If you approach the end together, you may even form a kind of kinship around this acknowledgment, as the need for paranoia and hatred fades.

Slowly, the darkness encroaches, and you can see it devouring all the things you once knew. Memories of your home, of those you loved, dissolve into nothing, and you can only reflect on the barren emptiness in your heart as you see it happen. In your final moments, though, you feel peace with it all, knowing that there was no other way. You step from the edge of the last dwindling fragment of being and are greeted by silence.

THE END
No matter which way you go, you are left with a single impression: you feel the world you came from die. It's a realization that transcends logic or sense; it weighs on your heart and leaves the vestiges of dark memories dancing in your thoughts like motes of ash. It's a memory of your home crumbling away into nothing as if consumed from within by rot. Returned to the void, all that's left to you is to be reborn.

REBIRTH (new characters)
In a new time and place, you awaken. Stirring within a capsule of warmth and isolation your senses will slowly return, only to observe that you are trapped. Your body, as it wakes, is tangled in close, yours eyes unable to open, as if still within the womb. You are held tight in the embrace of something unyielding, so smothering that at first you only have the strength to struggle for moments at a time. Yet, as you persist, the pressure begins to relent in turn; it may take hours, but eventually you will find the purchase to push, to claw, to fight, and it will all give way.

The chrysalis surrounding you bends like flesh and cracks like glass. It tears as you force your fingers through, finding liberation one inch at a time, until finally you have emerged. As if having undergone metamorphosis, you feel old and new all at once. You are weak, piteously so, but the markings and scars of your previous life remain. As you slump down upon the smooth cavern stone, you realize that you've just wrenched yourself free of gigantic crystal, though its hollow, shimmering form is now in pieces on account of your passing. Somewhere on your body, a shard of similar material remains embedded.

The cave itself looks almost like the inside of a geode, the walls and ceiling bedazzled with greyish crystal that shines with all the colors of the rainbow. While they vary wildly in size and shape, only a few have grown large enough to hold a form like yours, and you can see the one you just escaped isn't the only one bearing a passenger within. They may have already hatched, or they may still be lingering in stasis. Either way, there's enough time that you may have a chance to speak to yours unexpected peers, or to perhaps to struggle to find something to cover your naked body with. You feel the chill of the open air against your moisture laden skin, a distant light trickling in through the cavern's opening.

Make the most of this time. It won't be long before you're interrupted.

[Mod Note: If you don't want to deal with your character being naked in front of the others at that location, feel free to assume they emerge at a different time than the others of their legacy. Characters will be 'hatching' over a period of several hours.]

DREAMING (OLD CHARACTERS)
For those already in Horos, they will find themselves in the same dreamscape as the new arrivals, only, this time, it's familiar. You'll feel more cognizant of your surroundings as you reawaken in this psychedelic realm, more in control of your emotions. What's more, you recognize that light at the center and the darkness at the edge: it's the Pleroma and Kenoma respectively. The one you are attuned to will call our to your soul, and though you are technically free to wander as you please, the closer you get to the force of your opposite sect, the more it will grate against you spiritually. Pleroma attuned nearing the Kenoma will feel as if its presence is desperately trying to tear them apart, and Kenoma attuned nearing the Pleroma will feel as if its light is burning them from the inside out.

More importantly, you notice that entirely new souls are wandering here with faces you didn't see in the cavern. It gradually becomes clear that they are Aions in the same state you were prior to your rebirth, lost and wandering this stretch of the cosmos with no idea what's to come. Maybe this is your chance to ease the confusion of their arrival, or maybe you'd simply like to scope out what kind of people are on their way. It's also possible for you to run into Aions already in Horos, wandering just like you are. Unfortunately, things are a lot less neutral than they are the last time you shared this realm.

No matter what you do, eventually the cosmos above will begin to burn out, just as it did the first time you were here. As darkness swallows reality itself, you will wake with the visceral memory of your world corrupting and breaking apart.

SEARCHING (OLD CHARACTERS)
Soon after the dreams begin, it will become clear that the Aion NPCs of either sect are also aware of what's happening. For those in Achamoth and Greentruth, the imminent arrival of new Aions will become a matter of official discussion. All able Aions will be called upon for their aid, in whatever way they can offer. Getting to the shrines themselves will be easily accomplished via teleportation. What's would be more complicated is ferrying any new arrivals back to a secure location. Thankfully, this is something both sects have already prepared for.

All characters will have the opportunity to acquire a 'returning stone' if they don't already have one. In all cases, this will amount to an amulet made of the same shimmering material as the shrine monuments, though the stylization differs between the Pleroma and the Kenoma. While regular Aion teleportation can bring you to any of the shrines you know the sigil and location of, a returning stone is magically programmed to bring its wearer back to a specific destination to which it is attuned. Normally, these stones will only be able to store enough energy for one 'return' a month, but it turns out that the ambient power created by the shrines being active will temporarily super charge them. Though it's not guaranteed, this means they may generate enough energy to perform multiple returns for TDM purposes. More information about returning stones can be found on the powers page.

Spare returning stones will be issued to all Aions so that they can be used to bring back anyone they collect, as it's possible to bring someone alongside you if they are also wearing a returning stone. Where your stone leads will depend on your sect.

PLEROMA
Tehri will be the one to supply returning stones, based out of Greentruth. She will not travel to Godsblood to deliver returning stones to those that have not visited Greentruth, but it can be assumed that Greentruth's visitors can pass them along to anyone who has been staying in the city. The returning stones are set to bring them to a secure location beneath the water of Godsblood's coast. From there, new arrivals will have to be allowed to rest and then brought up into the city when they're ready.

Greentruth is limited in its resources, but it will attempt to send troops to the Innocent, Seeker, Wanderer, and Firebrand shrines, all of which are close to the forest. Compared to the last attempt, these troops are a bit better armored. Meanwhile, bolstered by recent events in Godsblood, bands of Resistance members and guerrilla fighters will turn up at the Artisan and Sovereign shrines. The Resistance members will work willingly alongside with the Pleroma Aions, but the guerrilla fighters seem to have their own priorities and that is mostly that they have a beef with the Achamites. These reinforcements will struggle against powered Aions, but they might be able to delay any troops sent by Achamoth or Hylici.

KENOMA
Xishen will be handing out returning stones to all Kenoma the day after the dreams begin for the Aions that don't already have one. She'll explain how to use them, and state that the Regent expects for them to head to the shrines once they become fully active. The Kenoma will have whatever mundane weapons or supplies they need at their disposal for this mission, along with minimal Achamite reinforcements. Due to injuries and death in both Godsblood and Venera, many are in recovery or on their return to Achamoth. She'll reiterate not to rely too heavily on them; after all, only the Aions are able to quickly move between the shrines and at the Citadel. The regular troops will have to be deployed by river or by land, and mobilizing them will take time. They will feasible be able to reach all of the shrines to some degree or another, but will more easily populate the shrines of the Martyr, Celebrant, Lover, Champion, Visionary, Sovereign, and Firebrand.

The Hylicians will be called to fill in the ranks of the diminished Achamite troops. They follow the orders that they are given but are very standoffish otherwise, even more than usual for them. Xishen herself says she will be traveling to the shrines and the Kenoma will be expected to communicate their movements to her as they work. Dionys remains in Achamoth to 'keep watch'. All Kenoma Aions will be given a familiar vial of black sludge, and are instructed to feed it to any Aions they capture at the shrines. It will cause the same effects it did in the cavern, though it will resolve in a few days rather than a week.

RETURNED (ALL CHARACTERS)
New characters that are found a the shrines will be brought back to one of two lodestones, depending on which sect they are taken by. This will be accomplished by their escort putting a 'returning stone' around their neck that will enable them to be teleported to a secure area in their sect's territory. It is advised for your character to be taken by whichever sect you'd like them to end up in.

TO THE PLEROMA
In a dazzling flash of psychedelic light, you will find yourself brought to the Pleroma's lodestone: a monolithic rock set in the center of temple-like ruins. The entire cavern is hidden away beneath the ocean waves, just outside of Godsblood, and the ceiling itself is comprised of nothing but a barrier of water, as if held back from filling the space by some unknown force. The waters surrounding the lodestone are exactly body temperature, with swarms of tiny, violently iridescent fish darting through it. Crabs that look as if they're made of pure, clear crystal wander the sparkling, sandy shores.

There isn't much here in the way of accommodations, but it's comfortable enough that the new arrivals brought in by the Pleroma can take a moment to catch their breath. Some relatively plain but assorted new clothing will have been brought to the cavern to make sure they are actually clothed, as well as blankets and basic food items. It's a good time to ask your questions, or if you are an established Pleroma, to help out your freshly arrived peers. After all, their welcome at the shrine may have been a confusing one.

New arrivals will be permitted to leave the lodestone's temple when they are ready. Unfortunately, the only ways out of these place are through your choice of either swimming through pockets of water that eventually lead to the surface, or by spelunking through a series of tunnels to make your way the cliff faces near the city of Godsblood. More information about the city itself can be found on the setting page, though it would be preferable to keep TDM interactions to the lodestone area. As characters emerging from the shrines will start our as Untouched (more info about attunements here) they will not be permitted entry into Greentruth until they have attuned to Pleroma.

TO THE KENOMA
As your returning stone activates, you will feel yourself thrust into a suffocating void, only to emerge just as quickly somewhere else. The most pressing thing on the minds of anyone taken by the Kenoma will be the vial of pitch black sludge they are forced to drink, whether it is before or after their arrival. Maybe their 'escort' from the shrine gave it to them, or perhaps another Kenoma does soon after they arrive. If not, one of the Achamite cultists wandering around definitely will. Dedicated servants to the Regent's will as they are, they are not afraid to gang up on the vulnerable new arrivals and force it down their throats.

Once in your mouth, the potion will slither down your throat as if it's a living thing. The effect takes hold quickly: as this darkness creeps through your insides, it will embolden your darkest and most despair inducing emotions, plaguing your thoughts with the worst sorrows of your life. What's worst, it simultaneously seems to awaken some form of enhanced psychic empathy within you, both projecting your thoughts for others to hear, and allowing you to receive those of the others around you in kind. Black ooze will begin to seep from orifices, or the space around your shard. The effects of this contamination bring out your worst, and its recipients will be forced to live with these effects until they accept the force corrupting them into their souls.

This world is not good enough, a voice speaks to your through the Kenoma. This suffering you feel, the cruelty that has birthed this darkness in you... it is simply the rot that is consuming this existence. A better universe awaits, one forged by your own hand, and all you need do is first bring about this broken reality's end.

How long this goes on will depend on how long the characters is able to fight it. Acceptance of the Kenoma can come as quickly as immediately, if your character is inclined towards it, or it could be drawn out to take a few days. In the meantime, they will have to stay in the barren halls surrounding the Regent's lodestone, and will not be permitted to exit into the greater Citadel as the current Kenoma are. All that will immediately be offered to them down there are stone slabs that can be used as beds and formless white robes that reach down past their knees.

Of course, that doesn't mean the characters that are already of the Kenoma can't do something about that. If they desire it, they will be able to bring food or other supplies to those suffering with their Kenoma infections, and it will be equally within their power to try anything from bullying them into accepting to lovebombing them. Once a character accepts the Kenoma and attunes to it, they will be permitted to leave, but for the sake of the TDM interactions should be kept to the lodestone area.

QUESTIONS
Is this TDM canon?
Mostly! It's part of an in-game event. However, only threads with new players that app and are accepted will be considered game canon. Threads between old characters will all be canon, but threads involving new characters that don't apply or aren't accepted will either need to be tweaked to remove their involvement or made non-canon. New characters will also be able to decide TDM threads aren't canon if they end up changing directions.

Who can toplevel on this post?
Anyone, whether they are a new character or a current one. However, we do ask for current players to do their best to tag new characters. If you are bringing in a new character and want a current character to bring them into your sect of choice, post your request here! ICly, current characters are fighting to claim new arrivals, but it's up to the player of new characters where they ultimately end up going.

When is this TDM taking place chronologically?
The beginning of August. The shrines will be active and forming Aions during that time. The dreams will start around the 29th of July. All current Aions will be able to sense when it's time for the new arrivals to start emerging.

What are the shrines like?
Every shrine is comprised of the crystal-filled cavern character emerge inside and then the massive statue symbolizing the relevant Legacy built on top. More information about each shrine can be found in the "Aion Shrine" section of the setting page.

Are everyone's homeworlds really gone?
That's a complicated issue, and while the fate of their world is not without hope, they may certainly get the impression its been destroyed from the dream they had. Alternatively, they may refuse to believe what they felt and attempt to dismiss it as only a vision. More about this situation will be revealed as the game goes on.

Can I only experience one end of the dream sequence prompt?
New characters may experience one ending, both endings, or neither. If they experience both they will struggle to recall which came first or which feels the most 'true' to them, as both will simultaneously be the thought they are reborn with. If your character refuses to pursue either path they can simply linger in the middle until the infinite worlds above them start being extinguished one by one, eventually expelling them into darkness in a similar style to the light prompt. Which dreams they experience will not dictate their initial sect affiliation.

Is it possible to pull another character back from the end of the light or darkness dreams?
Yes! If your character is able to resist the pull of either end, they will have the chance to try to pull another character back from the edge of the abyss or the edge of oneness. Whether or not they succeed is entirely up to the other character, though.

Do you come out of the chrysalis wet?
For most intents and purposes it's the same experience as hatching out of a real butterfly chrysalis, so yes, a bit.

How does attunement to the Pleroma or Kenoma work for new characters?
More information about sect attunements can be read on their dedicated info page, but in summary: when new characters are brought to Horos, they will be in the state of being "Untouched" meaning they are not attuned to either sect. By the end of their first month in game it is expected they will either attune to Pleroma or Kenoma, though for those taken by the Kenoma's forces, the transition will be forced within the first few days. If taken in by the Pleroma, it may take then some time to attune to Pleroma, depending on the strength of their spirit, but it could also happen almost instantly if they are allowed to. How quickly it happens will depend on how strongly they align with the Pleroma's traits. Characters who have been taken by the Pleroma but that remain Untouched will not be allowed into Greentruth until their attunement to Pleroma is complete.

Can a character taken by one side end up attuning to the sect of the opposite one?
This is theoretically possible, yes: a person taken by the Kenoma could potentially resist the Kenoma's call, and someone taken by the Pleroma could end up falling to the Kenoma while staying with them. Generally, though, we recommend that you have your character be taken by whichever sect you want to end up in, as doing a switcheroo will cause narrative complications that might bog their introduction down in plotting that will need to be done with the mods. It can happen, but it is not to be done lightly!

I'd like a Pleroma volunteer to collect Claude from the Seeker shrine! His toplevel is here.

Also down for some PvP occurring over who gets him if there are multiple players interested in that, but ultimately he'll be going with the Pleroma.

Claude von Riegan | Fire Emblem: Three Houses | Seeker

[personal profile] leicesters 2022-07-30 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
1. DREAMING - THE LIGHT AT THE CENTRE
[Claude has always loved the night sky. He can't count the many hours he's spent since he was a child, gazing up at the stars. They were company when he had none, a reminder he had just a little place in the universe and that his problems were therefore small in the grand scheme of things. That everyone, ultimately, looked up at the same sky, no matter how they in turn were looked on by others.

So he's amazed by this sight, of floating in the cosmos, of the many galaxies unfolding out over his head with a kind of detail he could never see from the ground.

Of course, then, it's only natural he walks towards the light. It compels him, tugs at his heart with the same kind of nostalgia as a blazing sun over desert sands, or the gentle moon reflected in the waters of the Aquatic City. But this -- somehow this light draws him in, and he instinctively feels he's wanted here, belongs here wholeheartedly.

It's then that his eyes find other faces, other people nearby, and greets them with an easy smile.]


Hey... Can you feel it, too?

2. REBIRTH - SEEKER SHRINE
[Claude wakes slowly at first from the comfort and warmth of sleep, but soon, as consciousness catches up to him, it turns into a panic. Snared in some kind of cocoon, he barely has the strength to move. Then to raise an arm. Then to try to push against the crystal encasing him. All the while he's stalling, straining his ears to figure out if he's alone, if escaping whatever this is is even safe. He remembers the strange dream, and right now his head is too foggy to tell apart imagination and reality. But it had felt so real... And the way it had ended, his home crumbling away...

That thought sends a panicked jolt through his heart. The claustrophobia kicks in enough and his strength builds that he pushes, and after what feels like like a long, extended stretch of effort, one last almighty shove has the crystal give way, sending him crashing to the ground with it.

He's still weak, and he feels like his legs are like jelly, but that crash surely would have alerted anyone nearby. He grabs a shard of crystal that looks particularly sharp, and drags himself to an alcove of the cavern to hide, pulling his knees up to his naked chest to make himself smaller. Then he waits. Even his breathing sounds too loud, and the chill setting in to damp skin is soon making him shiver, but he doesn't have much choice for now. While he recovers his strength, he just has to rest and try to defend himself if anyone comes.]

3. RETURNED TO THE PLEROMA
[Claude's a little less rattled by the time he has clothes on his back and arrives at the lodestone. The ruins immediately catch his attention, and after a hasty 'thanks' to whoever escorted him over, he's already roaming the area to explore, first going to take a closer look at the temple-like structure. It's not like anything he's ever seen before, so it's beginning to sink in that he really could be in another world.

...Or perhaps you can find him tossing a rock from hand to hand while he contemplates the watery ceiling above, a mischievous glint in his eye.]


Think if I threw this rock up really really hard, it'd hit the water and make a splash?

4. WILDCARD
[For anything else! I'll be playing him from Chapter 12 of White Clouds (Golden Deer route). Hit me up via PM or over at [plurk.com profile] moonsilver/moonsilver#4734 @ discord if you have any questions or want to plot!]

Rebirth

[personal profile] undertheweight 2022-07-30 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Claude can sense another presence in the shrine--or near it, at least. In his normal form, the cavern is a bit small for Wrathion's comfort, though he isn't really claustrophobic. Though when Wrathion notices movement within, he squeezes himself back in. It's true that in part the dragon wants to be intimidating--but the second, more noticeable part is that he emanates heat like a furnace.]

Who are you, mortal? What is this place? Have you answers?

[He's not very patient, but at least his tone suggests he's asking questions, not demanding answers...]

I. DREAMING
[ There's a new face in the sea of stars, yet this one doesn't seem all that bothered as he stands in the expanse. His gaze is directed upwards, clearly admiring the beauty of what's above. He's a creature that's lived a very long time, but he finds the sight no less beautiful. In fact, he would argue that he finds it to be more beautiful than others might, since with millennia behind you, something truly surprising and lovely becomes rarer and rarer. Not yet making a choice of which path to take, he's drinking it in.

But as someone else comes closer, his attention turns away from the heavens and to you instead. It might be a little startling, since for having a normal (if handsome) appearance otherwise, his eyes are quite different. The irises are a bright, blood red, almost seeming to emit light with their intensity, and his pupils are slit like a cat's, though they're a relaxed calm despite everything before him. ]


Trying to decide which way to go?

[ And though his voice is gentle and pleasant, his teeth are as similarly inhuman as his eyes. They're sharp and dangerous, definitely belonging to a predator far more than anything else. It's quite the contrast. And it's one that he's deeply glad for, all things considered. Maintaining a human appearance takes so much effort that the lie is nearly engraved into his soul at this point. He can't help the slips of the eyes and the teeth, since they were always so much more flexible in his form than the rest, but this look is certainly better for conversation than the ever-shifting darkness that makes up his real face. aka the manga hasn't shown what his true form rly is yet, so I can't either, thanks yana ]

II. REBIRTH
[ What a sensation, being born.

Any demon would find the idea amusing, himself included, if not for the terrible weakness that comes with it. He finds it nothing short of disgusting, since it's how he imagines humans must feel all the time. Were he truly capable of the feeling, he would almost pity them.

Anyone nearby might see an odd gesture as Sebastian suddenly looks at the back of one of his hands, though nothing is there. His still too-red eyes narrow with the briefest flicker of fury, though it's quickly tempered. Again, feeling annoyingly weak, he stands with a heavy sigh. He doesn't seem to be ashamed of his nudity even a little, though. Which of course, why should he be? That was a terribly human thing to worry about, as far as he's concerned. ]


a. fellow newbies
[ Sebastian looks around curiously first to look back to the crystal he had come from with an intense gaze, but ends up breathing out a laugh as he reaches up to touch the shard of it that's now buried itself by his clavicle. But whatever he may be thinking will remain a mystery for now, since hearing you, he turns his attention that way. Perhaps you've just spilled out of your own crystal, or you're waiting for someone to come rescue you with clothes, but regardless, he speaks with an easy calm that absolutely doesn't fit the strangeness of the situation. Or, y'know, the states of undress. ]

My, my. I assume you are feeling as poor as I?
b. everyone else
[ He doesn't linger inside the cave long, and instead heads to its mouth to attempt to get his bearings first. This is all strange—bizarre, even—but Sebastian is nothing if not pragmatic. Even with the strange vision (or more than that, clearly) in his mind of that darkness, it's easily set aside for now. As he sees someone approaching he politely steps by an outcropping of rock to cover his bits, though it doesn't seem to be out of any sense of shame, considering he gives a small wave of greeting before speaking up. ]

Why, pardon me. You would not happen to have anything I may cover myself with, would you?

III. RETURNED (KENOMA)
[ It takes very little convincing, ultimately. Perhaps he should have a bit more caution, being in such a terribly, terribly weak form, but demons weren't exactly known for being cautious. Sebastian looks at the dark vial with interest first, since the pitch black nature of it is amusingly similar to his own shadows. It's because of that familiarity that he can also guess that it won't exactly be pleasant. ]

a. during (briefly)
[ But as it turns out, he's mistaken.

All of those dark, despairing feelings might as well be a balm to his twisted being. Despair may not be something he's prone to, but darkness? Why, he's nothing else but that. They're the exact kinds of feelings that he loves to cultivate in a soul he's contracted (and alas, what a tragedy it was to lose Ciel's exquisite one!), so more than anything, it makes him salivate. He almost laughs, since indeed, that black ichor drips out of his mouth, and what a sight that must be through his vicious teeth.

He doesn't particularly care about forging a new world.

But if it wanted to bring these exquisite feelings to the world that remains? ]


Why, there would be nothing more delicious.

[ It's the only thought that slips out to others (to you), because the prospect is accepted immediately. It may not be a contract, but... This is not so bad, he thinks. If that single soul he had been cultivating had slipped between his fingers, then this was at least an amusing way to pass the time. ]
b. after
[ If you're still hesitating to drink, you might just be approached by Sebastian. You may have seen him earlier, since his brightly red eyes stood out, if nothing else, but they've now faded to a much more human eyes that are a warm amber instead. Similarly, those vicious teeth are gone, if you happened to notice them too. Finding even a sliver of his ability returned to him, of course his first step is to mask those obvious signs that he was anything more.

He gives a short nod to the vial, then gestures to it in a rather elegant way. It comes off as quite formal, oddly enough. ]


As a suggestion, I would go ahead. I do not think the process will get any smoother by waiting, to be honest.

IV. WILDCARD
[ None of these prompts tickle your fancy? Let's do something different! I'm always down for a custom starter, so ask away either through a PM or via [plurk.com profile] runthejewels. Or just go for it?! I'm flexible!

Also as ooc notes, I prefer brackets but will match prose no problem, and if your character is able to sense the fact that Sebastian is a demon (even if it's... a bit obvious here...), absolutely feel free to do so! ]

[The flicker of red falls upon cool blue, belonging to a robed woman with short blue hair who looks just as calm and unfettered as he manages within seconds. She offers a small and polite bow of greeting in turn, and holds out a folded bundle of gray fabric to him at his request.]

Of course. Would you like water or food as well?

[The Kenoma's situation doesn't change how she treats newcomers. She'll be happy to provide some basic information next, but as for how this may end...]

regressor: (CONTRACT)

Havoc | Darker than Black | Innocent

[personal profile] regressor 2022-07-30 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[OOC: Because canon powers are suppressed at first, Havoc's Contractor nature is being held back, and she is currently in her more emotionally capable Regressor state (for now). I would like her to be taken by Kenoma, plz and thank you!]

01 ☄ THE LIGHT AT THE CENTER

[She had expected the nothing of death, the freedom from fear and pain. More importantly... she had expected to escape the pulse of her messier code, calling out to her from Hell's Gate in the hypnotic, powerful pull of Havoc... Havoc... Havoc...

But instead she is walking, slow and disoriented in a space that feels like every sky in the universe has collided and mixed above, below, and all around her. If she looks for it, will she find the false star that had ruled her life since all of the colors had drained out of her world to be replaced by the cold rationality of a Contractor? Would she find Hei's, hopefully still glowing somewhere in the night?

The light calls to her instead. It is warm and soft, the opposite of Hell's Gate and the cold, rain-soaked concrete she last remembered. The fragments of life that flicker into existance around her are... not so many in number. She had been through the Memory Extractor far too many times for that. There is no childhood home, no parents' faces, no happy birthdays, no flying kites, or school days. But there are confused, muddled recollections of deep jungles, blood in her mouth, rubble where buildings once stood, and Contractors gasping for breath before their vessels burst. There are quiet days in the countryside, the smiling faces of children tugging at her apron, old hands that show her how to shuck the harvest. There are run-down apartments, grunts and rancid breath, money on bedsides, and days spent in hiding.

And there is the Gate, her powers surging back with Lancelnopt Synchrotron radiation glowing in her eyes. Running. Rain.

But there is no glow now, when she meets the gaze of another lost in this sea of stars and memory. Just a pair of dull green eyes set in the face of a woman who wonders how it is she is still alive... and more importantly, if she deserved to stay that way.]


02 ☄ REBIRTH

[Hazy. Slow. Her eyes flutter but refuse to open, and her mind refuses to focus. She remmebered it was raining. Or maybe it had rained. The scent of it had filled her nostrils. Wet concrete. Diluted blood. The stench of abandoned homes and lives some ten years past.

The last moments on her world came back in pieces, but not in the right order. The pull of Hell's Gate. Hei's hands, clutching her face, telling her she didn't need to kill again, that she could live. Laura's children, laughing as they chased each other through the yard. Hei breaking her fingers. The taste of fried rice. A child's dead body at her feet. Rain. Standing on the edge of the abyss with blood-stained memories and radiation lighting up her eyes. Running. Bursts of pain as something, one, two, three somethings lanced through her chest. The cries of jungle birds as a blazing light raced toward her. Her eyes flutter again.

She inhales, and a clotted mess of old blood sticks in her throat. No, it's not blood, it's something else. Something that reminds her to wake up, to move, to gradually push her way out of the tight, warm comfort of whatever held her. Why wasn't she cold? Why didn't it hurt, the spears of ice that should be lancing through her chest? She doesn't know... and so she moves, presses, stretches-

Until a woman spills out onto the floor of the Shrine of the Innocent. She is malnourished and unhealthily thin, what would be vibrant red hair and emerald eyes dulled by neglect, with three large scars on both the front and back of her narrow, bony chest. The small hands that struggle to pick herself off the damp ground are shaky, two of the fingers painfully crooked... and she fails at the first effort to stand, collapsing back onto her knees in an undignified sprawl. Nestled between her clavicles in the dip between is a blood red, drop-shaped crystal.

And as her mind begins to process what is happening and where she is, as it finally catches up and realizes that the call of Hell's Gate has finally gone quiet... the only thing she wonders feels too good to be true. Had she truly escaped it?]


03 ☄ RETURNED (KENOMA)

[No. She hadn't.

On one of the stone slabs surrounding the Regent's lodestone, a small, frail woman dressed in the simple white shift of a new initiate lays on her back, one hand clutching so tight at the fabric of her gown that it shakes with the effort, beads of cold sweat staining her skin as she struggles in stillness against the forces at war in her body. Black ooze seeps out from around the shard at the base of her throat, drips out of an ear, but perhaps more strangely...

She's glowing. Or rather, flickering, like a light switch being flicked on and off in slow bursts. An eerie red glow is born and then fades in her eyes, a strange neon blue light seems to suffuse her silhouette and then be extinguished... and a more observant person might notice that the dying of those lights is tied directly to how she squeezes at the fistful of robe in her hand, using the pain of two broken fingers to focus.

If she didn't... She didn't want to back there. She didn't want to be a Contractor again. She didn't wan't to be Havoc anymore. But there is no relief from the black sludge that had been poured down her throat, there is only-

Her other hand desperately reaches to cling to the leg of whoever walks close enough by. Her mouth opens, but her throat is too tight, and she only mouths the words at first, more an exhale than a voice.]


Please--

[But she gathers it, brow furrowing, forcing herself to get it out, to beg and to plead for just one thing-]

Please kill me...

[Before she wasn't "me" anymore.]

[ ... isn't this a sorry sight.

kaeya is armed with a basket full of necessities, because he knows how well this part of the experience went for him last time. he'd almost forgotten how it felt to have the kenoma in his system for the first time, all the ugly realities and emotions that it managed to dredge up to the surface, all for anyone within earshot to perceive. he hated it then, but now... a part of him can accept that it's necessary.

so when havoc reaches out to him, begging to be killed, he is immediately reminded of someone from his past. the girl asked for a swift death back then too, as if she couldn't bear the weight of her own guilt and sins, as if death was truly an escape. is it the same for this red-haired girl?

he looks down at her hand, but doesn't move to pry it off him for the time being. he only has one thing to ask: ]

settingup: (i got stamina)

Miya Atsumu || Haikyuu!! || Visonary (Kenoma)

[personal profile] settingup 2022-07-30 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
((OOC. I'm a current player looking to app in a second!))

I. LOST IN A DREAM

[ It's a stupid thing for Atsumu to be so upset about, but as his thoughts and awareness slowly begin to fit back into place, he finds himself burning with the same anger he felt earlier that day, when he and his twin had a fight about the choices they were making after high school. As someone who has always been willing to aggressively power his way into achieving his goals, it never occurred to him that he'd ever have to strong-arm his own brother into coming along for the ride with him.

It's that reason, and that reason alone, that as Atsumu starts to storm down this twisting path through the cosmos, that he veers off in the direction of the void. It better suits his sour mood at the moment than a bright, welcoming light does, though it wouldn't be his usual pick. None of it seems to matter much regardless, despite not ever having a lucid dream before in his life, Atsumu has the vague sense that must be what is happening now; he's dreaming a weird dream as he hunches his shoulders forward, a scowl set on his face.

The unreality of the situation might be why it takes awhile for him to realize that the thoughts he's having aren't typical for him. Anger is a natural enough occurrence in Atsumu's day, but this soul-crushing existential dread is new, and it's kind of freaking him out.

He stops walking, head whipping around wildly until he spots a figure moving towards the same destination. Despite his dim awareness that this is a dream, and the curling disgust in his stomach at the sight of the person, he still calls out to them.
]

Hey! What the hell is this thing?

[ He jabs an angry finger towards the void, brows knitting together in confusion. Surely this figment of his sleeping mind can explain the weird symbolism to him, because this is not like any nightmare he's had before. ]


II. LOST IN A NEW WORLD


A. CRYSTALS KINGDOM

[ This may very well be the roughest wake up that Atsumu has ever experienced. He's had plenty of rushed mornings of waking up too late and panic scrambling his way out of bed, but none of those panicked scrambles ever involved literally having to punch his way out of a rock.

He's also never been the sort to sleep au naturel considering he shares a room with his brother, so he's also never had to weakly crawl behind a decent sized crystal to hide himself after waking either.

This is a dream. This has to still be a dream. His heart is hammering in his chest as he tries to calm down from both his fight out of the rock, and the feeling he was left with upon waking back up.

His world rotting away to nothing.

While his stomach ties itself into knots, Atsumu lifts two still wobbly feeling arms and slaps both palms against his cheeks as hard as he can.
]

This ain't even real! Wake up already!!

[ And repeat a few times, before the futility of it starts to dawn on him, and his hands drop back down to his side.

Now red faced, and deeply confused looking, he finally looks around the cavern. It takes a second before his gaze lands on another living figure, whether they're a new arrival like himself or an old timer stopping by to say hello, it's all the same to him. As upset and freaked out as he is by everything that's happening, he still does a good job of managing to sound accusatory.
]

Who are you!?


B. THE KENOMAING [Open to one player only]

[ Well, he's less immediately panicked now, so that's a plus. He's also got some kind of clothing on, even if it's a pathetic robe that he still feels exposed in.

The downside is this stranger just handed him a vile of some nasty black substance and told him to drink it. It doesn't matter how good the sales pitch was prior to this either, because Atsumu doesn't look even the slightest bit convinced.
]

You're outta your mind if you think I'm drinkin' this crap.

[ He'll try to hand it back to them at least, noise crinkling up in disgust.

Looks like a little pressure is going to have to be applied on this one.
]


III. LOST IN THE SAUCE


A. STILL BUFFERING

[ Whoever it was that had the unpleasant task of force-feeding Atsumu the Kenoma like he was a difficult dog who refused to take his pills, the job at least has been done. The goop is coursing through his system, and now that he's been (possibly also forcibly) teleported to the Kenoma's lodestone, he's curled up in on himself looking more miserable than he ever has in his life.

He's cold, and he's still freaked out, and everything he's been told by the other Aions and the various other minions of the Regent haven't done much to make that feeling go away. The smooth, round rock that is embedded into the back of his right hand keeps oozing out the same viscous substance he was force fed, and even that is more pleasant than when the same stuff comes seeping out of his ears or mouth.

He looks like he could use a good 24 hour rest, a warm meal, and some clothing that actually keeps him warm given the way he keeps shivering. This has been going on for close to two days now though, and he's still holding out, so maybe some more pressure needs to be applied.
]


B. FULLY LOADED

[ And then eventually just like that it finally starts to click. The words that keep whispering themselves in his mind, the despair he keeps sinking himself into. Atsumu might not naturally be a gloomy or pessimistic person, but he doesn't have to be. Atsumu's own world might have had it's fair share of problems, but he was largely spared that by being a teenage boy growing up in a place that could provide for his needs, but it's gone now. His world is gone, and if he wants to exist in another one like that, then the answer is pretty obvious, isn't it?

Tear it all down and make it again. He can have the satisfaction and happiness of his old life back if he just plows through some bumpy messes first. That's always been how he does things, right? Push ahead past the rough stuff, and you can accomplish the end you really want to see.

Still feeling weak from having existed for several days dealing with the unforgiving conditions around the Kenoma lodestone, he struggles to push himself off the floor and make his way over to the first person he sees.
]

Hey, you all said if I just accepted that gunk you put in me, I could get outta here, right? Lemme go already then! I'm sick of just sittin' around here!

[ Look, he'll even triumphanly hold up his hand to show his nice shiny, dark gray shard. Clearly this is a prize to be shown off, an accomplishment of all the hard work he went through to accept the Kenoma.

Please give him some pants already.
]

baltimores: (004; says me)

the kenomaing...

[personal profile] baltimores 2022-07-30 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This is simultaneously awkward and annoying.

After a quick set of introductions — he's Amos, he's here to help, here's a robe for your troubles — he finds himself back in a similar situation as he has... a couple of times now. Unruly teen, check, although given the circumstances he can't blame him. Refusing to take something he has to, unfortunately, check.

Amos takes the vial back from Atsumu, bemused and only a little impatient. The second-to-last time he'd done this, he'd wasted too much time, and a Pleroma had fought him off for a new Aion right out from under him. The last time he'd done this, he'd succeeded, and there had been some resentment involved. (A lot of resentment, maybe.) He looks over his shoulder; as far as he knows, the clock's ticking again, but surely he can find the right balancing act this time.

... Probably not. He's not the best at sales pitches, regardless. But. ]


You're outta your mind if you think you're not drinking it.

[ Come on — surely Atsumu can see what's going on here. He's freshly hatched, weak, and at the mercy of someone who clearly knows more than him — and is something of an imposing figure to boot, broad and battle-scarred and the kind of guy who it should become apparent isn't going to take no for an answer. Not here.

Atsumu might be able to detect the slimmest of chances for him. Amos is also still a little weary, still worn down from recent battles; some of those scars are newer than others. But also... come on.

Amos fixes him with a flat stare, though his voice is bright and amiable as ever as he holds the vial back up for him. ]


C'mon. You wanna do this the easy way or the hard way? You get to choose that much.

[ Don't say he can't be considerate! ]

TSUNAMI 🌊 WINGS OF FIRE 🌊 CHAMPION

[personal profile] wavetrain 2022-07-30 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
i. rebirth: the shrine of the champion
Tsunami rips her way out of the crystal cocoon thrashing and snarling. Relief overwhelms her as she finally flops free of it, her wings splayed either side of her as she pants with exertion, but the realisation that comes a few seconds later of how weak she feels has her reeling with panic. Where is she? What has happened to her? Was that dream some kind of prophecy?

If someone approaches, she bares her fangs, her curved claws scraping against the ground, but, if they are as human in appearance as most of Horos's Aions so far, she pauses in surprise...


If they are a) newly-hatched and naked, like her, Tsunami tilts her head, looking at them curiously. "What's a scavenger doing here?" she muses quietly. She sounds like she's talking to herself more than to the other person. "Sheesh, what am I saying; what am I doing here? Where even is here?"

She shakes her head and looks around.

"I guess you're not going to be able to tell me, huh, little guy?"

(She is going to call you "little guy" even if you are like 50 years old and totally jacked.)


If they have arrived b) armoured, or armed, or otherwise capable and equipped, she takes a step backwards, her body close to the ground like a cautious cat's. She eyes them warily like a person might look at a wild animal; something smaller than you are, but which you know might bite. She's not afraid of scavengers, not normally, but she feels like she has a fraction of her strength right now—and, after all, wasn't it a scavenger who killed Queen Oasis? As weak as she feels at the moment, Tsunami finds for the first time that it isn't hard to imagine how that happened...

ii. returned: pleroma
a) The cavern is even more improbable-seeming than the SeaWings' summer palace. Tsunami stops in place to take it in, her neck curving as she looks up at the canopy of water overhead.

"What kind of magic built this place?" she asks one of the nearby Aions. She's adjusting quickly to the fact that she can actually talk to humans, although it is still a bit weird. That's not the reason for the uncertainty in her voice as she asks, though; she seems cautious about the idea of magic as a whole, although perhaps not so much that she's afraid of this place...

b) Exhausted after the day's events, Tsunami is very grateful for the warm waters that surround the lodestone. She settles in the shallows with her wings spread out, resting her head on her talons to watch the crystal crabs. These are clearly not edible, which is a shame, but the fish swimming around her she's less sure about. They're very small, sure, but it would feel really good to scoop up a mouthful between her teeth.

"Hmmm." She lifts her head to speak to someone else resting close by, and points with a claw to the fish. "Do you think we can eat these?"

c) Even in her weakened state, Tsunami is better built for swimming than the average human; as such, after she's rested and eaten, she's willing to offer help with swimming to the surface. There's only room for one human to cling to her back, but if you fancy an underwater dragon ride through the "swimming through pockets of water" route, her broad tail and webbed claws will probably get the both of you through it a little quicker than if you went for it on your own.

OOC: If you'd prefer to tag with brackets please go ahead, I'll match format!
Tsunami is an aquatic dragon about 6 feet high at the shoulders. Here's a full body species ref!

[ ...Little.

No one has called him such a thing in years, if only because everyone else tends to be dwarfed by his tall, horned stature, but he also recognizes in this form, he's probably less impressive and intimidating-looking to her. Still, he can't help but bristle slightly at the word. ]


I advise you to reconsider your manner of address quickly. Were I to transform, our sizes would differ less.

[ But he's having a little trouble at the moment as his magic doesn't seem to be responding at all to him, perhaps due to his dormant state prior to inspecting the other shrines. It might need more time to awaken.

In the meantime, he busies himself studying the dragon before him, quite sure it isn't one of the fae, otherwise she would have recognized and bowed to him instantly. So she must be closer to the dragons he's read about from distant regions, who roam around permanently in one form, almost indistinguishable from other creatures of the land. ]


However, your assumption was correct. I have no knowledge of this landmark nor through what mechanism we were brought here. I expected you to be the one to have the answer. Is this not your habitat?

Yeager | Tales of Vesperia | Celebrant

[personal profile] scythegun 2022-07-30 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
DREAMING
[Well. This is definitely not what Yeager was expecting today. For a long moment he's silent, staring between the two paths and looking as far down both of them as he can as if to try to judge which one to take... But then he realizes he's not alone. Hey, fellow newcomer!]

It really does seem to be a difficult decision, ja? Which one do you want to take?

[Does he seem completely unaffected by... you know. All of this?? Yeah. But that's probably fine. Yeager's accent is very thick and very German for some reason, just roll with it.]


REBIRTH (CELEBRANT)
[Yeager doesn't bother moving for the longest time. He's content just to chill in the crystal. It might... seem like he just plans on staying here?? If you're in the same area and you want to try to get him out, go right ahead, otherwise he's going to take his sweet time actually emerging from his chrysalis.

But eventually he does and after he fights his way free he just flops back inside.]


Ugh. Why is this happening. It certainly would be nice to have my weapon right now...

[It's not even a proper question, he just sounds so done. He's going to be remaining over here keeping an eye on any others to wait until they've left... which is probably because there's a really weird device on his chest that he'd prefer not to draw attention to.

For current characters, Yeager's going to be one of the last ones out of the shrine and will not exactly be happy to see we have a welcome wagon. But hey, feel free to catch him here if you want to chat with him for some reason. Or you know. Give him clothes. Please give him clothes.]


RETURNED (KENOMA)
[Being told what to do never sits well with Yeager, but being forced to consume some sort of horrid liquid? Ugh. He doesn't even attepmt to fight it; without a weapon, there's little he can do, and he still feels weak from whatever that weird rebirth thing back at the shrine was. For now, it's best to simply go along with it.]

i;
[He does believe that... at least until the effects start to kick in, anyway. Yeager ends up clutching his chest - that thing beneath his robes, more accurately - as said robes stain dark with whatever it is that's infecting him. He's quiet as he suffers through it; head ducked and focused on his breathing. Perhaps it would be easy to think that he isn't suffering all that much... at least unless you happen to overhear one of those stray thoughts in response to the Kenoma.]

Why should I care? Why should I bother? I won't serve you.

ii;
[But that doesn't last long. Why would it, when he can simply accept the Kenoma and stop suffering? It's that easy, so that's exactly what Yeager does. He takes a moment to himself, catching his breath and waiting for the last of the pain and those dark thoughts to finally dissipate. When he's finally feeling back to his usual self, he moves to flit about the room as if that didn't just happen.

If you're a fellow newcomer who looks like you aren't suffering all that much (whether you actually are or not doesn't matter), then here's Yeager! He's smiling brightly and speaks all too cheerfully for the mood or the current situation.]


Well, that was a truly horrid experience, wasn't it? How long do you think they'll keep us in here?

[Sorry if you're still suffering but like, you seem to be doing fine so just accept it already??]

iii;
[Or if you're one of the Kenoma aligned... Well, of course Yeager's going to approach you as well, holding up a hand in greeting. He's still just as cheerful despite the circumstances, and seems to hold you no ill will, even if you were involved in that whole "give everyone this horrible liquid" thing from like twenty minutes ago.]

Care to tell me a bit about what's going on? I must admit, I'm really quite lost right now and would prefer an explanation from someone who understands what's going on!

rebirth

[personal profile] galdorleod 2022-07-30 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Outside the cave, a young man is waiting, and yes, he is actually waiting specifically for you, Yeager. He'd seen the crystal that birthed him inside the cave a few hours earlier and knew that someone was likely to hatch from it, so he made sure to be here when that did happen. Howl has been the only Celebrant Aion in Horos for so long now — aside from Dionys, that is — and how could he pass up the chance to not just meet another of his Legacy, much less claim them for the Kenoma?

The wizard lounges on a rock, enjoying the later afternoon sun, when he hears a voice coming from the entrance to the cave. Even having expected one more person to emerge, it's still a surprise to see them there. Once the surprise passes, he leaps up from the rock and picks up a wicker basket that had been sitting beside him, filled with what looks like folded clothes.
]

Ah, good afternoon! Over here! [ He waves to him and holds up the basket, but he does not get closer. There's no way to know how a person is feeling when they emerge, considering everything they've just been through and will be going through, and he doesn't want to spook him. ] No weapons, I'm afraid, but I've clothing for you!

Mrs. Brisby | Secret of Nihm | THE MARTYR (Sect Undecided?)

[personal profile] scienceandmyth 2022-07-30 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)

Dreaming

Where is this...?

Everything looks and feels dream-like. There is no solid form anywhere around but she can make out a scant dirt path that stretches out in front of her. She carefully begins to walk. "Hello? I-is anyone out there?"

The path eventually leads to a fork in the road, one path leading to light and the other to dark. The trail on the left looks like a crowded forest where light dares not go and the trail on the right is a welcoming field dotted with flowers.

It seems obvious which way she would rather go, but where are her Children? Mrs. Brisby angles her head so that she may look down each road. Where is her home? Which path leads to them?

Rebirth

There's a large crystal the same size as it would be for any normal Aion, but with the smallest creature inside. It's hard to notice something so small at first. It might seem like there's nothing in there at all. Maybe this one brought nothing at all.

Soon the first splinters of the crystal start to move. There is definitely something small trying to emerge! For those who are observant enough will notice the small paws of a little rodent trying to emerge from the crystal. They strain and pull. Hopefully, someone may notice and help them.

In the Cave

Somehow, she manages to escape the crystal and now wanders the cave. Alone. When she hears the sound of others approaching, she hops behind the nearest small rock in hopes that she would escape their notice.

Some of these people don't look very welcoming.

Mrs. Brisby peeks over the top of the rock at the next person who approaches - at you - with eyes wide. Would you notice her too?

In the Cave

[personal profile] locumstudentesquire 2022-07-30 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It's hard to keep an upbeat attitude after the last few weeks he's had, but Ryunosuke's doing his part anyway. Helping keep an eye out for newcomers by periodically checking the various shrines can be a lot more dangerous than it sounds, given that the Kenoma are likely to be out doing the same thing... So in some ways, it's kind of a relief whenever he arrives at a cave and finds it empty.

He's just about to write the Martyr shrine off for today, readying to make the hop back to the safety of the Lodestone, when his ears detect the faintest scuffle against rock, making him turn back to the cavernous interior in surprise.

"...Hello?? Is, is someone there??"

His eyes flit nervously about the cave as he carefully approaches where he thinks the sound came from; he's not looking at the right level, though. Mrs. Brisby will see a human guy towering overhead, but he possesses some distinctly non-human features that kind of muddy exactly what he is: a long scaly tail, large swiveling ears, two feathered wings and horns... A pretty extreme example of the sort of bizarre changes Aions can acquire, if their self-image becomes fortified under the right circumstances.

Shikanoin Heizou | Genshin Impact | Firebrand (Kenoma)

[personal profile] shikanoinheizou 2022-07-30 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
i. Dreaming
[He doesn't know where to go. People pass him by as he stays rooted in place, beckoned by the light and darkness both, his attention shifting from one to the other as he stands straight-backed and still with his fists clenched tightly by his sides. A strange dream, he thinks. He desperately thinks. A strange dream. One of the stranger ones he can remember having.

His bright eyes shift to one side, watching another person walk past, his gaze boring into their back as the distance between them grows.

Heizou takes a small step forwards. Before this, he had been sitting on a high peak on Watatsumi Island's outer rim, watching the sun setting over the water. Clearly he had simply fallen asleep. The next person who passes by close enough will find an arm outstretched blocking their path, and a strangely bright and confident voice speaking to them from the young man the arm belongs to.
]

Which way would you go?

ii. Rebirth
[In the end, the mysteries that the shadows held had been too much to ignore. Heizou awakens slowly and has to shake the cloying sensation of devouring darkness out of his mind before he opens his eyes in the hope of finding himself back on that hilltop. No such luck.

He can only struggle a little but struggle he does, and the mounting panic at being unable to break free builds itself into a knot of tension in his chest that is almost suffocating by the time he forces one hand through the casing holding him in place. A strangled, weak yell escapes him as the sensation of air on his hand gives him the last push of strength he needs to fully break out.

Then he simply lays there, panting, aware of his own nakedness but lacking the energy to be perturbed by it. The shard embedded in the back of his right hand goes unnoticed for now. Slowly, the chill in the air draws him into a more alert state and he sits up, absent-mindedly grabbing a piece of the broken chrysalis to cover himself. There's too much new information to take in all at once and his mind is in overdrive already, his widened eyes roving across the room as his slender limbs begin to tremble from a mixture of weakness and the chill.
]

... Curious. [He whispers, momentarily seeming startled by the sound of his own voice. Heizou lifts his hand to pinch the back of it and jerks his fingers back as they touch the shard there. He stares, confused, and picks at it with the tip of his finger.] You're not supposed to be there.

iii. Returned [to the Kenoma]
(a)
[Despite his weakness he fights the attempts to make him drink anything for as long as he can, but there's only so much he can do when all of his limbs feel like boiled spaghetti. Eventually one person has him held prone with his arms hauled behind his back, while another one forces his head up and covers his nose until his burning lungs force him to open his mouth to take a breath. Then he's gagging, restrained until he has to swallow or suffocate against the thing that feels like it's trying to force its way down his throat--

The young detective is left in a poor state. He resists, and resists, and the corruption attempting to take hold forces black ooze from his ears and nose, up into his mouth to occasionally choke him, and from the back of his hand.

For the first day he simply sits as if catatonic while he battles the force in his mind and body. He stares blankly at the space ahead him and acknowledges no one as his worst doubts and insecurities are dragged out of him and spat back by a voice that seems to be echoing in his head. By the end of the day he seems to be stirring through it, the disgusting blackness dripping from every orifice eases in its appearance, and he starts to at least seem to notice when other people are coming near to him. Hopefully someone took pity on him while he was fighting... and he at least has some clothes by now.

(b)
[Half way through the second day after his arrival, Heizou gets slowly to his feet and looks around as if only just realising where he is. He scratches at the shard in the back of his hand again, closes his eyes, and then wipes a smear of black ooze away from the corner of his mouth.

The world is not good enough.

He still feels weak. Hungry, thirsty... Cold. He wraps his arms around himself as his usually active mind remains strangely, yet blissfully blank. His eyes are dull, skin pale, hair matted with the substance that had been leaking out of his ears for the past day and a half.

A better universe awaits, one forged by your own hand.

That doesn't seem like such a bad thing. Why did he spend so long fighting? He isn't even sure, now. All he's sure of right at this moment is that he's... tired.

And very, very hungry.
]

Where can I get something to eat? [He asks the first person he sees who looks like they have their wits about them.] Something deep fried, preferably, but I think I could eat anything right about now.



((obvs as Heizou is brand new to Genshin he can't be apped just yet, but I'm trying him out in the setting! hopefully I didn't heck anything up.))

You'll get used to it.

[ comes a voice echoing in the cave. If Heizou looks around for the source it won't be hard to find them: Childe is sitting not far from where the crystal he "hatched from" is, a towel and some folded clothes in his lap as if he's been waiting for the other.

And he has! Been waiting for someone— anyone, really— that is. It seems that no one else has yet bothered to make their way to the Firebrand shrine to check for newcomers, but this stop is obligatory for the Harbinger as this shrine belongs to his own legacy.

Getting to his feet, Heizou might notice the glow of a vision at Childe's waist, although not for long as ultimately the cloak he's wearing covers it when he fully straightens. Approaching the other, he offers the towel and set of clothes to Heizou.
]

I think you're going to want these.

DREAMING

[ This isn't where she expects to be, after everything. It's not any of her dimensions, or a dreamscape she remembers seeing in the past. But if it's a dream, well......then it's fine, isn't it? If there's anyone that understands how dreams work it should be her, shouldn't it?

So she sits in the air perched on some invisible ledge (because if this truly is a dream then she can do as she likes), her legs swinging loosely back and forth in front of her. She looks—relaxed. Unbothered by the stars that swirl above her head or the inky darkness that presses on for as long as she can see.

At some point, she finds she's not alone. There's another form coalesced into being nearby, unfamiliar to her in looks and bearing. She looks down, her two irises, one nested inside the other, boring into the other person. Across her forehead are a series of small crosses encircling her forehead like a crown. ]


Have you picked a side yet?

[ There's a smile on her face, easy and girlish, but it doesn't quite reach her golden eyes. ]


REBIRTH

[ In the shrine, there is a girl. Youthful and brown-skinned, she sits in front of the egg she'd hatched from as naked as the day she'd been born. (Though that birth barely leaves an impression in her mind, far outweighed by her more momentous rebirth as a Noah.)

Instead of going anywhere, she waits, humming softly to herself under her breath. There's a lot to think about and a lot of loose puzzle pieces to try and slot into place, and her legs still feel shaky even folded underneath her.

(How odd. She hasn't felt so physically weak in a long, long time.)

Eventually, a shadow slants across her. She looks up, eyes wide and guileless, easily sliding into the role she's comfortably settled into for the past thirty-five years. ]


Have you seen my daddy at all? Or my uncle Tyki?

[ If anything is strange, it's how shockingly strong and steady her voice is for someone newly clambered out of a crystal egg. ]


RETURNED (KENOMA)

[ It doesn't take long for her to accept the Kenoma.

Why would it? Everything it whispers to her is precisely what she's heard and believed for the entirety of her 7000 year existence, across numerous lives and reincarnations. Even the disgusting taste of that liquid she'd drank, and the nausea and chills that had suffused her whole body, couldn't begin to compete with the burning hatred that still sits brightly in her chest.

(Though there is a shard of hatred buried in there, sharp and jagged, for the being that taken her beloved family from her and left her here alone.)

But the symptoms subside quicker than she expects, and soon she's left alone and unsupervised in the barren hall. Without any sort of entertainment to keep her busy. ]


It's so booooring in here.

[ Her voice is petulant and whiny in the way that only a child's can be, and loud enough that it echoes through the air. She sits on one of the stone stabs, knees pulled up to her chest and her chin resting at the very top of her knees, her arms outstretched in front of her as her hands play in air in front of her.

The first person to pass by gets immediately accosted, her voice rising as she calls out to them. ]


Hey. Play with me.

[ Who left their child here unattended? Does he look like some kind of caretaker? This matter he would normally allow Lilia to deal with in his stead, as Lilia is far more accustomed to dealing with small human children than he is, but he has yet to find him or his housemates anywhere.

...Meaning he's stuck with this child for the foreseeable future, even if all recent experience with the youth who are not from Briar Valley has generally been unpleasant. ]


I have seen neither. You are the only other creature I've encountered in this world.

[ Unfortunately. For the both of them. ]

Do you not have a magicam device with which to summon him with?

[ He's sure that's what all the kids use to communicate over long distances these days, but such knowledge is still foreign to him. ]

Darth Vader | Star Wars | Sovereign

[personal profile] heavybreaths 2022-07-30 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Cosmic Crossroads

[Drifting in the emptiness of the void is not an unusual experience for Vader. The vastness of space, the falling away of the world as one communes with the Force, and the sensation of being pulled within the vast sea of the cosmos is a welcome companion. Yet this is also new. The Light rarely calls out to him any longer, and the feeling of others in his meditations is completely alien. Instinctively, he finds himself drawing away, moving, pushing back from the cloying call.

The Dark encroaching all around him likewise he rejects, unwilling to completely accept the discontent that it brings with it. Vader pushes back, knowing well this trick of the Dark Side. It would try to rouse him, it would try to draw him in, and it would try to hollow him out. That was a form of submission that he has been striving against for some time now, refusing to immerse himself as fully as the Emperor did. Pushing free, finding himself dancing at the midway point betwixt the two once more, he considers the presences of those around him more fully now.]


How curious. [His voice comes out slow and deliberate, the hiss of his mechanical breathing cutting through the pause in his words. His head turns, regarding the nearby shape of another being, the spark of interest evident behind the helmet's expressionless gaze.] It is rare I share dreams with another.

Rebirth A (For other Newbies)

[Labored mechanical breathing cuts through the breaking of Vader's chrysalis. He does not panic, but the struggle to push aside the shell currently surrounding him is more real than it should be. His muscles, the prosthetics that make his body function, none of it worked quite right in this strange place, and that frustrated the man's efforts. He could feel the weakness, the creeping sensation of emptiness that came when he reached for the Force and found it difficult to grasp. When he finally wrestled himself free, he limped painfully as old injuries flared up and the cybernetics running throughout his body screamed in protest.

And yet pain was merely a motivational tool, and even as discombobulated as Vader was, the notion of merely lying there seemed a waste. He cast his eyes around for a weapon, settling on a shard of his broken chrysalis, and began to move. His mind reeling, thinking how best to act, Vader stopped as he found another waking from the same situation. Unwilling to leave a potentially useful tool alone, he stood over the stranger.]


Awaken and find your feet quickly. We should move, but I have little patience for dawdlers.

Rebirth B (For older characters)

[Or perhaps things play out differently and instead of finding someone new, Vader's feet carry him towards someone with more knowledge of what is going on. He stands rigid as he limps out of the cavern, one hand gripping the wall, his mechanical breathing sounding more labored from the wetness clinging to his mechanical body. Gaze fixed on whoever was in front of him, he spoke in a firm and dangerously calm voice. Even weakened as he is, he tries to sound as menacing as possible.]

You will explain to me what is going on, and what manner of place this is.

[He leaves the threat unspoken, but tries to imply it as best he can with body language. At least he is 6'7" and that counts for something, right?]

Returned (Pleroma)

[The strange jolt of his body being pulled is exhilarating in a way that very, very few things are to Vader anymore. The unfamiliar mode of travel is amazing even to him, reminding him of a jump to hyperspace more than anything. Yet that is something always experienced aboard a ship, not out on one's own. Fascinated by it, his mind briefly occupied by that, he steps clear of the lodestone and begins walking around the strange ruin.

The supplies he ignores for the moment, save for one thing. Walking over, he grabs a heavy cloth and begins wiping down his body, cleaning off as much of the chrysalis residue as possible. His breathing lightens as a result, the irritation of it against his cybernetic body having left him struggling a little.

After that, he moves towards people, seeking knowledge. Understanding...whatever this problem is...comes before any other concerns.]


What can you tell me of our situation?

[ These dreams are often strange. Their contents are tailored so closely to the wills of their dreamer that they are impossible to mistake for one another, as unique as a glimmer of their soul.

This one shows the pinpricks of distant stars and the welcoming embrace of darkness all around. It's a pleasant sight to see, and one that lifts his spirits in its beauty.

Emet-Selch's attention is torn away when he hears the voice of someone else - presumably the dreamer themselves - to which he turns and looks in their direction. ]

Is that so. [ He gives a gesture equivocal to a shrug. ] Mind you, I don't seek to make a habit of it. You may consider your dreams hereafter safe from my 'wandering eyes'.

THE DREAMING.

[ No. No, no, no. It’s all wrong, this is all wrong!

Aerith reaches out, stretching her fingers as far as they’ll go, but she can’t reach any of it, can’t save it — she sees the church in the slums, the people of Sector 7, her mother — all of it devoured by the chilling void that she had fought so hard to stop, that she’d defied destiny to stop. She can feel heart sink, heavy with the knowledge that she couldn’t do it, after all. That it was all for nothing and no one.

And, so. She walks. Her steps are slow and meticulous. She takes it all in, watching the world she called her home turn to nothing. Not even ash remains, and she reaches up, clasping her hands together in a prayer that she knows now will reach no one, and after a brief second, she gives up. There is nothing now, and maybe.. maybe this was the only way it could go after all.

There’s one last hint of color at her feet, a small garden of bright yellow lilies, glowing with life abundant. And then, they too, are taken, and Aerith closes her eyes and drops to her knees. It’s over. There is nothing left.

Perhaps it’s only a few seconds. Perhaps it’s an eternity. She can’t really say, but she hears footsteps behind her, and Aerith opens her eyes and turns, guarded even in her desperation to see someone else. ]


Cloud?

[ Whoever it is, she slowly stands to meet them, turning around, trying (with little success) to hide the pain on her face. ]

THE REBIRTH.
[ The warmth is a stark difference from how cold she felt in her dreams, and at first Aerith doesn’t want to wake up. She scrunches her face in annoyance, at first, and then when she opens her eyes, it’s fear — something has caught her up, and panic begins to set in as she starts to struggle. Her strength isn’t very good on a, well, good day, and she tries to get her arms free of the position she’s in; something fetal. Her mind flashes to her days at the Shinra labs, and she stops, breathing hard.

No, she won’t let them take her again.

Her hand finally finds purchase on the side of her cage, and she pushes, surprise turning to determination at the feeling of her hand move through whatever substance has her pinned so tightly against herself. She punches and kicks and finally feels the wall give way and with a cry of surprise, she slides out of her capsule and onto the floor in a heap, trying to catch her breath.

It takes her a few moments to get her bearings, but the first thing she notices is that she’s not in Midgar. The second thing she notices is how cold the floor is against her bare skin. The third thing she notices is that she’s got bare skin, and she fumbles to try and cover herself with hands, arms, and hair, cheeks flushed bright pink as she glances at the other people around her, just as weak and naked as she is. She shivers, clearing her throat to speak. ]


Does anyone know where we are?

[ She doesn’t recognize any faces, but the fact that there are other capsules — no, crystals — like the one she was apparently in that are still in tact doesn’t mean that the other four members of her group hadn’t been taken just like her. ]
.

TO THE PLEROMA

Oh!

[ It’s one of the iridescent crabs that’s caught her eye, and Aerith trots forward towards it, kneeling down to examine it a little bit closer. ]

Hello there!

[ It’s the first time she’s really smiled since arriving here, or so it feels like. Wherever this place is, at least it has it’s own beauty, right?

She stands up after the crab wanders away and slowly turns around to take in her current surroundings — she even reaches out to dip her fingers into the wall of water surrounding the area, though she doesn’t do much more than that after noticing the clothing and blankets laid out. She takes one of the blankets first, wrapping herself up in it and heaving a small sigh of relief at the warmth that starts to creep back into her body, and then settles down near the water wall to catch her breath.

She’ll think about actual clothes when she’s taken a moment to collect herself. ]

bruno madrigal / encanto / the martyr

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-07-30 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
crossroads (dreaming)
[ It feels impossible to move from this spot, standing, frozen in part both horror and awe of the expanse of galaxies spread out all around him.

Both paths — the dark and the light — tug at him but he remains where he is, staring up, watching as, slowly, lights in the distance begin to blink out, one by one. Witnessing it drags up a gut-twisting sensation of dread. He feels as though he's seen this before. He may have. This place feels familiar enough. In a vision, perhaps, once upon a time, but when? Why? Or is it all in his head?
]

They're... they're dying. Why are they dying?

[ He asks in a hushed tone, speaking as though in a church and not wishing to interrupt anyone else. He yearns to know why, why are the lights going out, but, at the same time, he wants to reject any answer that may come.

This isn't real, after all. It can't be. It's only a dream. He needs to wake up.
]
rebirth (shrine of the marytr)
[ Nothing is more traumatic than being hit with the realization that your world is gone. His home, his family, he can't even feel the magic from the miracle anymore, and all three of those crushing realities hit him as he breaks through the crystalline shell and lands wetly on the cold, stony ground of the shrine. That he's lacking in clothes of any sort doesn't break through everything else rushing through his head just yet because all he wants to do is curl up and keen like an injured animal, arms covering his face and fingers threading through his damp hair, gripping clumps of it simply for the sake of having something to hold onto as sobs wrack his small, narrow form.

Things were about to be better. He finally got to go home, for real, to be a part of his family again, to be a part of everything again. There wasn't going to be any more hiding, no more isolation because of his visions, no more... he was finally going to be happy... and now, it was all gone.

It would be sensible to try and figure out what's happened, where he is, anything at all besides weeping in despair, but he can't even consider it right now. It's too much for Bruno. To have everything he could have hoped for one moment and then have it senselessly destroyed the next.
]
returned (kenoma; cw: intrusive thoughts)
[ Let's be honest here, in the state he's in, Bruno was and is an easy mark for the Kenoma, and one would think his despair over the loss of his family would make the odious sludge they've forced down his throat do its work quickly, only therein lies the dilemma. To accept the better universe the whispers offer, one has to desire continued existence in the first place.

Bruno will spend several days pressed against a corner, trying to hide — and failing, there isn't really anywhere to hide. There, he leans against where one wall meets the other to form that corner, legs drawn up to his chest as if trying to make himself as small as possible. Easily done, as he is already a truly small man. There, he sits, still, staring off blankly across the vast room, black ooze rimming his eyelids and slowly dripping down his face.

Sheer misery is all he projects as he's forced to go over and over again everything he must have done wrong in life to deserve this. He was the one who caused trouble. He was the one people feared. Maybe they had been right after all. Why is he still alive, why is he here, why isn't he dead and gone, too? He would at least be with his family then, if he, too, were...

Safe to say, it isn't a fun time to be around him. The thoughts he projects are grim ones, to say the least.

[ He's crying.

It's really all she can think about when she hears it, doesn't even care that he's naked as the day they were both born. She just swallows her own despair and approaches him, kneeling next to him. The movement takes a lot from her, but she manages all the same and gently places a hand on his shoulder. ]


It's going to be alright.

[ Is that a promise she can really make? No, not right now. But if it'll help, even just a little... ]

I'm Aerith. What's your name?

eightfoldfiend: (Kiss me like the apocalypse.)

Yuber | Suikoden | Firebrand (Going to Kenoma)

[personal profile] eightfoldfiend 2022-07-30 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I. THE DREAM

[Yuber had been withdrawing from the world, pulling his soul back from the realm of humanity into the familiar chill of the World of Emptiness. But when he opens his eyes that world seems to be lifetimes away.

What meets him is definitely empty but it is not the barren landscape of the World of Emptiness. It is a churning void of colors and stars.

He stares upward at the infinite firmament, thoughts unreadable from his distant expression. Stars have never been beautiful to him. They are the sparks of the cosmos, marks of the law of order. A place for everything, everything in its place.

Slowly, his mismatched gaze lowers to stare down the churning pathways before him. One seems to lead into the light. Deep down, he feels that light calling to him. The pull is not unlike the longing of the True Runes. Despite their war, they want to become one and return the world to darkness. This light will consume him, just like the Runes wanted to.

So he starts walking down the shadowed path. Better to face oblivion than become one with the forces that have plagued him throughout his long existence. He would rather die than become order. He'd rather be nothing.

Unlike some of the other travelers, people will see him march down the shadowed path with confident purpose, taking comfort in the ruin around him. Or, at least, he outwardly seems to take comfort in it.

Sometimes he stops and looks around. The longer he walks the more he feels himself fray at the edges. Must he come undone, he wonders? Being alive had so been so much fun.

Maybe if he kills someone, maybe if he hears screams, he will come back to himself.

Anyone who is feeling afraid may see him looking their way, studying them with cold, reptilian eyes.]


II. REBIRTH: FIREBRAND

[Yuber slowly drifts into wakefulness. Having never slept before he isn't sure at first what is the lingering remnants of a dream and what is reality. Every sensation he has is thin, wispy, and barely there.

The world had been twisting and giving away around him. Blackness had filled his vision and his mind, had twisted his heart. Everything had been sinking into oblivion, including himself.

Now, suddenly, he breathes again, but the air is stifling. For a moment he wonders if he has been trapped between dimensions. A heartbeat later and he realizes he is encased in something. He thrashes, digging his fingernails into the material laying against his body until he finally manages to claw his way free with a satisfying crackle and shatter.

The crystal blows violently outward as he emerges, staggers, then drops to his hands and knees.

Weak. He is so weak.

Somehow his world is dead, he is dead, all of creation is in ruin and yet he still breathes.

Stupid.

There is a shifting sound close by and Yuber realizes there is someone else in the room. Many someones, in fact.

He will lash out with one arm and grab the nearest person without looking up.]


Where am I?

[His low voice is dark and unpleasant, not because he is trying to sound menacing, but because it is always dark and unpleasant.]

[ Ah, Someone who wanders the shadowed path of their own volition. Emet-Selch watches from the shadows as they wander deeper and deeper into the darknesses thrall.

They walk confidently, not like most of the unsure arrivals that he's seen. Is it confidence or bravado? ]

Where are you going? Do you even have the faintest idea?

[ His voice calls from an indistinct place among the shadows of the forest. ]

[personal profile] pyojeol 2022-07-30 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
dreaming (new);

[han sooyoung doesn't trust the light.

then again, she hasn't trusted any new situation, scenario, or sight since that fateful moment in the subway, so what's one more, really, in the end. She doesn't trust it, but she goes along with it anyway -- walking gingerly at first before moving into a flat out run along the stars. (the stars are lighting her way and her visceral reaction is to make a rude gesture up at them. it doesn't do anything but at least it makes her feel better)

She's not so much running for the light in the center as she is just running out of both habit and desperation, as if she can somehow cross this universe and return straight back to hers with the sheer power of her will.

sometimes she slows down, sometimes she overshoots her run and circles back, but she does eventually stop whenever she sees someone else. brows knitted together because she still can't trust, but the feeling in her tells her to anyway.

it tells her to. and yet?

she takes three long strides with her fist raised anyway, nyooming with the intention that would be alarming if she wasn't 5'2'' and tiny, but maybe she'll end up landing a hit in this dreamscape anyway... (doubt.png)]


the BIRTHING (visionary);

[hsy is currently shoving her arms into the goof of her leftover egg, cursing under her breath]

...Nothing? Seriously? Is it really all gone?!

[HER ITEMS!!! NOOOOO -- she gets up, fully clothed because ive written so many naked prompts and i refuse to do so again and then marches over to the nearest broken open chrysalis,

just to shove her arms into that too. sorry friend, she's just looking for something.]


returned (pleroma)

[aside from that Incidient in the Dreamscape, HSY thinks she's been pretty well-behaved. Incredibly so, considering the verge of panic and terror and rage that she's this close to succumbing to. She's here, isn't she? She's sat through one or two explanations, stared at her new surroundings, changed and eaten, and then stared into the distance as if waiting for something to appear, eyes not quite focusing on anyone.

but you can only stare for so long waiting for something to happen before you get too antsy to continue, so Sooyoung moves along, glancing down at the water or up at the cave walls, growing more and more annoyed until she finally bursts out,]


You've got to be shitting me. This -- That's the only way out? Really?

[WHAT HAPPENED TO TELEPORTING?? SHE JUST DID THAT A SECOND AGO?? she buries her hands into her hair and groans, muttering]

Should have chosen the sketchy, evil side....

[evil always has benefits wow]

wildcard;

[she's in pleroma/visionary!! lmk and i can throw something up for you if these prompts don't work]

[ Road watches HSY the entire time.

It's not like there's anything else to do in this long sweeping dark other than look at the stars, and she's never felt any compunction to spend her time thinking about the beauty of creation and life, not when everything's destined to be destroyed. Herself included; she knows better than to elevate herself above the Earl's -- no, Noah's -- plan.

Maybe that's why she doesn't move when HSY skids to stop nearby and turns on her, fist raised in the air and blurring as it shoots forward. Her aim is true; her knuckles connect with Road's cheek, the force of impact enough to send the smaller girl stumbling backwards.

But there's no pain, no scarring, no bruising. And instead of screaming, crying, yelling—she laughs, high-pitched and girlish giggles, but with a sharp edge that cuts through the air.

(It's because this is a dream, and no one can hurt her in a dream.) ]


It's not very nice to hit children, you know.

[ And yet this child doesn't seem bothered at all?? The fuck. ]

leaks | lamento -beyond the void- | kenoma (firebrand)

[personal profile] dissonyance 2022-07-30 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
i.) dreaming
[ the light is gone, replaced with stars and a vast space. the kind that he would, some nights, stare at from through a window. even when trees blocked his view, leaks would not leave his home. he would continue to watch the inky blackness dotted with specks of light and not think. a moment of meditation in between cracking open books, doing his own research, and not worrying about the world that despised the unknown.

and then when the world did care, leaks was already working on ending it.

but here he stands, arms folded across his chest. ]


How anticlimactic.

[ he was expecting the end, and instead? he's here. what a disappointment. to be finally rid of that cursed song and that equally frustrating cat... that's a blessing. this? not sure yet. his tail curls and bends, twisting as he continues to stare off into nothing. ]
ii.) rebirth
[ angry.

he cracks the shell and tumbles out, grunting as he hits the unforgiving floor shoulder first. thank god he didn't land on his head or his tail; those bits are relatively sensitive. as leaks keeps his eyes closed, not willing to open them not quite yet, he waits until he feels or hears someone. curled up as tightly as possible, the ribika doesn't want to expose himself to a stranger. or anyone for that matter.

and then when he's totally sure that he's not by himself, those ears flick. the tail, still damp, sweeps along the ground and gathers some of the remnants of that chrysalis.

...

yeah he's totally dead. mhm. ]
iii.) returned
[ stone around his neck, leaks sits away from where those who have already partaken of the black liquid. he's quiet and observant, knees drawn up to his chest as he continues to recline. it also doesn't help that he's not wearing the kind of clothes he's used to; strictly robes. black. that he can't hide his face with a mask, that he can't obscure himself and keep himself isolated. no--- he is being treated like everyone else whose spirit must've been drawn to the darkness.

he closes his eyes. his thoughts linger on sisa. on his forest, long burnt to the ground. to the scant villages and ransen, the biggest, and the fields of flowers. on how much he despises everything about it, and that he couldn't be the one to destroy it all.

leaks isn't sleeping but any obvious indication of whether he's already had his fill of corruption... who's to say? ]

( it's customary for makoto to return to the firebrand shrine every once in a while during these few days that every Aion in horos is busy scouring each of the crystalline caverns for newcomers to their war. it's the easiest for him to reach out and teleport to, of course, but it also brings back memories. it gives him perspective. he's standing just outside the cavern's entrance, gazing out into the craggy canyon and down to the turbulent waters of the river far below, when he hears something — not the telltale sound of another Aion teleporting in, or armored boots coming down the switchback pass, but a sound like stone breaking and something falling to the ground.

fortune smiles on him, then, though likely less so on the newly-arrived firebrand.

he turns around and strides back into the cavern, pale eyes scouring his surroundings until he finds the chrysalis that has most recently been rent open, carved apart by the ire of its former inhabitant. the man is pale, thin, and faintly damp from the interior of the crystal — it doesn't take particularly sharp eyes to spy the feline ears plastered against his head, stark against the long tangle of lighter-toned hair, accompanied by the long, sleek tail, moving cautiously across the ground.

there's little warmth or compassion in the demon's appraising eyes as they meet leaks'. when he speaks, it's not necessarily that his voice is cold, per se... just neutral, calculating. )


No need to be tense. I'm not the one who brought you here. ( he shifts his weight to one hip, smiling wryly. ) I'm just the welcoming party.

Anduin Wrynn | Warcraft | Sovereign

[personal profile] bythelight 2022-07-30 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
REBIRTH -- SHRINE OF THE SOVEREIGN

Anduin Wrynn is reduced to kneeling on the stone floor, shivering like a fever has taken him.

His skin is cold, his bad knee is in pain where he stumbled to the ground as he emerged from the crystal and his head is spinning. Light, where was this place? And where are his clothes for that matter? Shakily, he pushes to his feet and braces one hand against what is left of the strange structure that he broke out of.

Is he... dead? He did not think he should be, did not think it was his time, yet all the same -- all the same he had the strangest dream.

The strangest dream, if it was a dream.

The strangest dream, which he has awoken in an unfamiliar place from.

Anduin swallows, trying to breathe through the whirling in his head and the pain in his knee. He pushes back lank strands of blond hair and closes his eyes, tries to draw on the Light enough to ease the pain in his knee, to drive back his headache and nausea.

The Light does not answer. There is no ring of it gathering around his feet, no ethereal wind to buffet his hair, no gentle warm presence reaching down to ease his wounds.

The drain on his limited energy attempting to cast hits a wall. Anduin wobbles, flails out a hand and feels himself sliding back down to the ground again regardless with much less grace than he'd like.

TO THE PLEROMA

Damp, and bundled into rough-spun clothing, Anduin wonders if even Mathias Shaw would recognise him. None of the fine clothing of Stormwind here, none of his heavy armour. Instead, Anduin thinks he looks like he belongs on a farm in Westfall.

Aside from, perhaps, his pale skin and bright blond hair.

He thinks of his mother's locket, his father's compass, and his heart clenches a little. How had he arrived with none of it? Had it been taken from him? It had felt, in his dream, like everything was... collapsing. Had that been real?

His strength is, at least, slowly beginning to return. Anduin hasn't felt this physically weak in some time. Not since, he thinks, Pandaria. Not since Garrosh Hellscream tried to kill him, not since he had nearly every bone in his body broken. It is not a sensation he ever hoped to feel again, yet life has a way of always being... unexpected.

Lifting pale blue eyes up, he stares at the watery ceiling from where he is sat -- strands of wet, blond hair drying loosely about his shoulders. The thin blanket is going some way to warm him back up, but still shivers every so often.

"This shield must be strong. I have read of things like this, but never seen one up close."

He shivers again, frowning at some fish as they flit past and tightening the thin blanket around himself.

"What powers it, I wonder?"

The carved stone, perhaps?

(ooc: he's still in dragon form atm so enjoy that.)

There's a whuff of breath from behind him that might just blow his wet hair in a line. Hot and just a tad sulfurous, before a voice rumbles out.

"Anduin? What are you doing here?"

It's more than a bit surprised, and rather familiar--if perhaps an octave lower than the Young Lion is used to. To his credit, Wrathion recalls himself and which form he's in at the moment, and does not bowl Anduin over with his snout. That is a whole lot of dragon, regardless.

[personal profile] stellium 2022-07-30 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
DREAMING - THE LIGHT AT THE CENTER
( she is no stranger to, well. strange worlds. she's seen plenty over her time traveling, jumping from one to another, always with her brother. but he isn't here, she can't feel him -- it's an ache that never goes away no matter how long it's been. aether, she thinks, yet for a moment the thought isn't accompanied by the agony of separation but a warmth that doesn't abate. it grows as she finds herself just one among many, part of a greater whole-- )

What is this?

( she says, not out of anger but simple curiosity, eyes turning upwards - the call is stronger, pulling her. it's unlike anything she's ever experienced. and that's saying something, lumine thinks to herself, with a small smile. )


REBIRTH - WANDERER
( it has been a long time since lumine has felt helpless, the panic rising up in her throat at being unable to move all-consuming, chasing the dregs of dreaming away. even the warmth does nothing to calm her -- where is she, how did she get here -- the inability to claw her way out, to fight, only makes it worse. she doesn't know how long it takes before she can move a finger, before she can move a hand, a fist, to pound against the smooth walls of whatever it is that keeps her trapped. calling out for paimon does nothing, she's trapped, alone, and--

and then: nothing. no resistance, and the crystal shatters, sending lumine spilling across the floor. scrambling to her feet, it's not her modesty that her mind goes but her sword -- nothing. as for paimon -- also nothing. which can describe where she's found herself, now that she has a chance to look around. not quite dropping her guard, lumine begins to wander from crystal to crystal, pressing her hand against one or two that she thinks might have someone inside. what--

where is she?

should someone else 'hatch', lumine will immediately go to their side to help them up, offering a steady hand.
)

Just wait until you've regained your footing. Then we can figure out a way out of here.


RETURNED - TO THE PLEROMA
( it seems that there is no end to being pulled from place to place here; first the dream, then the cavern of human crystals, now this. but this at least seems to be the last stop, and by now lumine is eager to get out and explore. she's clearly not in teyvat anymore; a long way from aether, and any chance of understanding what happened to her, and him.

but most everyone else here seems just as confused as she is; perhaps figuring out what happened here will lead her back to teyvat. it's a start, at least, so lumine is willing to go with it. it's the only thing she has, and that's gotten her pretty far before. though without paimon, things look a little more grim. after all, who's going to be her emergency rations now?

that teyvat might be destroyed, and her twin along with it, are options she will not entertain.

dressed in simple traveling clothes, lumine looks to strike up a friendly conversation with anyone who looks open to exchanging a few words, be they new arrivals or those who have been here a while.
)

Do you think that the sea creatures are watching us from up there? ( she asks someone near her, tone light as she stares up at the ceiling of water high above. ) I can just imagine one getting to close and then falling through with a splat.

Do you really think that would happen?

[ Aerith says it with the same curious, light, tone Lumine herself had used, staring up at the water above them. She squints, thinking. ]

They seem to be staying up just fine, but... Maybe there's something preventing them from getting too close to the edge.

Wrathion | World of Warcraft| Seeker

[personal profile] undertheweight 2022-07-30 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Dreaming (all a-jumble)

Dragons are not often given to sleep, much less dream, so Wrathion's hackles are already raised. Is this some trick of the Old Gods, an attempt to trick him, as they did his father? Or the Light--it was as likely to trick him, perhaps, as anything else, despite his oldest friend's trust of it.  He's whirled around in a mad dance, and unable to find much purchase for his clawed talons.  It's designed to frustrate him, and he lets out a bellow of anger. Good way to attract others to his location. But he can be a fool, sometimes.

The darkness draws him first, even as it stokes the fires of rage within Wrathion's chest. He knows well that he's disappointed many people in his time--the other remnants of his own dragonflight, Ebonhorn. Anduin. Their most recent meeting hadn't been cordial. He'd deserved that punch. And while he had gone off to search for the Dragon Isles, he'd heard that Anduin had been kidnapped, had heard that Greymane and Turalyon held co-regency in Stormwind now, and...

He hadn't returned to the human world. So what kind of a friend was he?
Turning away, he pursues the light out of curiosity, mostly. And hope. Isn't that one of the things they had discussed while in Pandaria? Light. What hope meant (though oh, how he had scoffed at that. Hope was for the ones that needed it. Dragons were curators of their own fate, or so he'd argued.) and how it was important to instill such in others. 

Wrathion had scoffed at that, too, and yet here he was, chasing it. There's a sense of people he (negotiably) cares about there, yet despite how he searches, he finds nothing. So Wrathion is drawn, again, back down into the darkness (and is that N'zoth's laughter, hollowly ringing in his ears, before silence fills the darkness?) The dragon fears that it is....


Rebirth: Shrine of the Seeker

It feels as if he's back in the egg. Impossible. There were so many memories he'd built from that point, from before that point. He must fight, there's too much at stake, too much to lose now. Whether this is still his egg and he's bound and dreamed the rest, or if this is some new, strange thing that N'zoth has dreamt for him, it matters not at all. When he has the strength, Wrathion flails--clawing, punching, kicking, biting--whatever will free him now. Eventually, it smashes and shatters, depositing him on the cavern floor, though he quickly gets to all fours and roars a bellow of challenge.. The crystals remind him something of Azerite, but a deep inhale of air tells him that this is not Azeroth at all.  

That knowledge has him crouching and growling, smoldering red eyes burning with ire as he gazes around, taking in the rest of the cavern. His nostrils flare as he turns to regard the doorway, and he crouches lower. Wrathion doesn't fill the cavern as a dragon, but his wings are uncomfortably close to the ceiling when he stretches them out. He turns again to the doorway, tail lashing as he sticks his snout towards the one or two researchers who have come to be an audience to the shrine's awakening.
"What are you looking at, mortals?" he snarls. His disposition may have taken a hit on being sundered from his world. Just a little. He probably should drop that 'mortals' crap, though.


Returned (To the Pleroma)

He wonders if this is what it was like, waking beneath the waters of Vash'jir and looking up through the waves to the surface. He'd talked to the Champion more than half a dozen times, though he'd never had the cause (or the necessity) to speak to them of their time below, attempting to save Azeroth from his maddened father. It's nice to look at. Calming. He slumps against one side of the cavern, eyes half-lidded and dull, not blazing. He allows the local wildlife to climb his crossed forepaws and clack their claws at him without snorting or otherwise shaking them loose. He's aware he'll need clothes, but it seems so tedious to shift to human form, then try on clothes that will be just be damp when he breaks the surface. Though the thought does cross his mind that he could always dry them, and then he raises his head, and snorts.

Wrathion doesn't want to actually hurt the crabs, after all. Even when he'd been manipulating others on Azeroth, it had only been for the good of the planet. He sighs, and lowers his head down to his arms.

[personal profile] horniness 2022-07-31 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Every time he returns to the shrines in his search for others from Briar Valley, he encounters more and more dragons. Is it by design or pure chance? He can't tell, but their kind is as powerful as they are strong, so it is not entirely outside the realm of possibility that they may have been seen as rather desirable for this universe to import. He's still trying to figure out the why, but he's definitely not fazed by the large dragon before him.

Rather, he understands why the dragon is feeling unsettled at the moment.

"I am no mortal. Now, rein in your temper before this shrine collapses on you."

Given his own magic is restrained at the moment, he won't be able to stop it if the ceiling gives out on top of them. If only humans weren't so prone to gawking at their kind and making comments...

"Is this your only form?"

dante / devil may cry (5) / lover (I am so sorry)

[personal profile] mygig 2022-07-30 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
1. DREAMING: Steve Jobs did not die for this

[This?

This is hell.

Which, well, it kind of was, but it kind of wasn't. And this particular version of hell doesn't seem to be holding itself together, either.

As some well-worn boots grate the dirt underneath, Dante walks towards an old house with a tree. The last time he saw this, the tree had disappeared, its fruit consumed. Instead, the ghost of an old house flickers in and out of view.
At the front porch, a katana is jammed into the front door.

Dante doesn't like that, frowns. This doesn't add up, and it's evident in how he stretches his gloved hand to brush across it. Yet, across the hinges of that door, there seems to be a light.

He just kind of needs to stop being distracted about the sword stuck on it and actually open the door.

Meanwhile, the firmament above is shattering, of course, cracks through blue and white. But beyond the shards, there isn't a blood-red living thing but a void. Beckoning.
]

Huh, here I thought the end of the world would be original, for once.


2. Rebirth: 'Sup, baby? Take me out to dinner. (Ayooo???)

[Had he ever been stuck in something before?

This particular crystal chrysalis is, despite vibrant, surprisingly still.

At least for a little while.

This guy is counting, inside the thing. Maybe knock on it? See if it budges.

Stabbed, jabbed, stabbed again, motorbike-thrown… Stuck in a labyrinth, seduced by a guitar… Swallowed by a flying whale? Does that count?

Regardless, even if you don't interrupt his mental tally, even if he doesn't seem too bothered by being stuck in some sort of crystal womb, this guy just decides that he's sure that the trial period for this shamanic digital detox camp is over and it's time to get out into the real world.

Whatever that was.

So with firm and —surprisingly— methodic jabs, punches, and elbows, the cocoon does hatch.

And out comes a stinky and very moist (ew) 40-year-old.

If he looks bored, a little disappointed, it's because he's seen a lot.
]

Hey, I thought I'd get a towel after this sauna.


3. Wildcard: BING BONG.

[Even though Dante would eventually tend towards the light and therefore pleroma, he also has a tendency to just feel at ease with the darkness and destruction because [redacted] [redacted] [redacted], and I'd love for him to just be in the wrong place. If anyone would want to engage with him in both pleroma or kenoma town, just leave a comment here and assume he'll be honestly inconvenient regardless of the place, maybe by sitting down somewhere, stretching his legs, and pretending to sleep. He's a big guy and takes up a lot of space. Tell him he's being bothersome.

Any other notes or suggestions, just DM me! I'm definitely down for anything with him.

And again. I'm so, so sorry.

MIYAKO INOUE | DIGIMON ADVENTURE 02 | INNOCENT

[personal profile] bingos 2022-07-31 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
DREAMING
[ Her breath is caught in her chest, much like her heart is caught in her throat. They've faced the potential end of the world before - of worlds. It's not the potentiality that catches her off guard, or the seeming end, but how it happens suddenly - Without so much as giving a whimper. It's like it had been extinguished and all the light with it — And as suddenly as she encroaches that thought is she among the cosmos. ]

...Beautiful.

[ She had meant to think it to herself, but she speaks it instead. The sound is loud in the quiet depth of space, louder even than a whispered reverence. It catches the attention of the partner who's not left her side this entire time: ] Miyako-san, not so loud!

[ Miyako glanced down at the bird. There's no question as to why he's there - they've always been together, it only makes sense now. Still she sighs and raises her arms in a shrug: ] Really? It's not like we're in a library or something — [ She gives a thoughtful exhale before turning her attention back to the fork: ] ... But it really is pretty.

[ In an ethereal way - in a way that somehow weighs on her heart. She thinks to back then, in the darkness that had seeped and covered a whole world. In the light that had broken through by hundreds of children's hopes. It feels the same, but it's not. Because right now it's just them - her. And while she glances to the light and then the dark in equal turn she can't deny a pull to the dark, though the light feels like the warmth of all the bonds she shares.

It's easy to know which way they'll go, but she hesitates - wavers when someone stops nearby (perhaps caught in their own query or yet confused by the pair): ]
It's kind of scary, right?

[ Despite the question, she offers a friendly smile. ]


REBIRTH (INNOCENT)
A
[ The dream ends and a future her would wish it didn't - if only a little. The world feels too small, enclosed - it's suffocating. She's nearly in tears by the time she - they've - broken out of the crystal. It's taken everything out of her just to get out that she doesn't fully pay attention to her surroundings. Not at first. Not towards the place they're in or any nearby people.

She does shriek however at one very immediately noticeable thing: She's very, very naked. And also covered in slime, but mostly naked. ]


Miyako-san?!

Don't look over here!

[ The bird being... You know, a bird, hadn't thought much about his own appearance but upon seeing his partner colors in embarassment. He half covers his eyes with feathers before hearing noise behind them. A quiet cry and he turns around, throwing out his wingspan as far as it can go: ]

Please, divert your eyes.

[ At least he's not a hostile bird (yet) but please consider giving clothes before they have a melt down over here. ]



B
[ Meltdown (hopefully) averted the pair seem surprisingly at east with their situation - or at least, being thrown into a new world isn't really their biggest concern. The little bird sticks close to the young woman but otherwise says nothing unless addressed. It's the woman, now grumbling something about needing a bath and ringing out her hair that takes the forefront.

If she sees someone else, another newbie or someone injured, she shakes her head and presses on: ]
I'm fine. Let's worry about making sure they're safe, okay?

[ If there's no one needing help nearby, she furrows her brows and crosses her arms. She'll turn then to the first semi-friendly face that looks like they might have answers: ] What is — Where are we?

[ She quickly diverts to the where. She's fully upfront here - feeling if she doesn't move straight-forwardly she really will just falter into another panic attack. ]



RETURNING (PLEROMA)

[ The adrenaline that came from their arrival has faded into outright exhaustion. While she was (decently) behaved the whole time until here, she's now found herself sitting in the corner. Hawkmon stands nearby, onguard, and watching the fish swim by above them. Miyako would naturally be inclined to amazement, but for the moment she's really trying to settle in - resolve herself. Not fall into the pit of worry and panic. Why is she the one here? She's by far the least capable of her friends -in her opinion - and she can't imagine being of much use.

And yet, eventually, either after someone talking to her or managing to gather her senses (it may involve hitting her cheeks with her palms)... she gets up and moves to someone who looks like they're in charge - maybe they're a newbie who got voluntold to hand out food or an oldbie trying to helpfully wrangle things together. Her smile is bright, if slightly forced as she offers a wave: ]


Hola! [ She makes a gesture of rolling up her sleeves, rather she has them or not: ] So, where do you need me?

[ She's not giving much choice in the helpfulness there. ]


NOTES
[ Ultimately having her go Pleroma! But I would be interested in forcefeeding Kenoma gloop at the shrine if someone wants to (and a Pleroma coming in for the rescue). ]

[ The night sky in its eternal vigil. A beautiful, ceaseless, vast expanse dotted with stars. Emet-Selch observes it with fondness along with the young girl who seems to find it equally as enthralling.

He stays within the nearby shadows at first and speaks up only when she seems to ask. Once he does speak, he lingers with arms folded as he carefully observes the path she sets before herself. ]

The brilliant illumination of light and the kind embrace of the dark. They exist in perpetual struggle as one tries to overtake the other.

[ He shrugs faintly. ]

Which path should you choose?

ranmaru ai (fairy ranmaru) • champion

[personal profile] bloomforyou 2022-07-31 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
I. dreaming, protection


[ the darkness is a different kind of end than ranmaru imagined. it’s not the first time he’s had a dream like this, watching the stars flicker out of existence, the winter triangle disappearing one by one: procyon, betelgeuse, sirius. there’s a foreign comfort in it for him. it’s all right if he tumbles off the edge into the embrace of the abyss.

but there’s another person here—there have been other people, he’s seen them walking similar paths and branching off into another he himself hadn’t taken. as deep in his own nihilistic despair as he is, in the midst of this dream, a part of him remembers what he’s supposed to do. at the end, until the end, he should follow his duty.

acting on some final flare of responsibility, ranmaru’s hand snatches out to grab the wrist of his companion in the darkness. ]


Don’t go!

[ he can’t explain it, but his eyes begin to brim with tears. ]


II. the champion shrine


[ when ranmaru finally falls from the crystal, one might be forgiven for thinking that he’s the natural spawn of the strange material. his body seems human enough, but as he finds his footing and brings himself to full height, two long, translucent wings unfurl behind him. they trail down like the wings of an insect, each a shimmering gold color except for one turning a rotten purple at the tip. while it looks like shattered glass where the color begins to change, ranmaru doesn’t seem especially hurt by it. ]



[ after flexing his wrist, checking his still-extremely-nude body and ensuring that he’s all in one piece, he turns his bright, catlike gaze on the nearest person. his eyes are piercing, but somehow, it seems as if he’s looking far beyond the person he’s speaking to. ]

I’m sorry I’m late.


III. a fairy prince


[ the kenoma was taken willingly. ranmaru lingers nonetheless, having apparently taken it upon himself to serve as a warm, guiding figure against the occasionally brusque and frequently overzealous guards and other visitors.

for those who have already taken the sludge and is suffering its effects, ranmaru stands a silent guard next to them. anything they need or ask for, ranmaru tries to provide, though his capabilities are limited due to the circumstances they’ve all found themselves in.

unfortunately, he quickly learns that just having the kenoma doesn’t protect them from those trying much, much harder to hurry along acceptance. the few times ranmaru does speak is to get soldiers and other aions alike to back off from those struggling with the symptoms of their sickness. ]


That’s enough.

[ his voice is calm, even. ]

It’ll happen when they’re ready. You don’t need to do anything else.

[personal profile] affal 2022-08-02 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
( ah, so they are dreaming again.

he hasn't yet prescribed a pattern to it. the first time the initial clutch of Aions had been returned to the dream only to notice that there were new souls populating it, it had been two months after their arrival. and this... how long has it been? three? so he isn't sure that there's a particular pattern, but a sense of anticipation seems to settle across them at the end of every moon, not just out of concern or excitement for what might happen next, but also because they are never quite sure when the veil between this world and all of the others might be once more rent asunder, allowing new souls to topple through and into the war they had made for themselves.

as he falls asleep and his consciousness shifts into the cosmic void, painted in the picture of the conflict they fight on their two spiritual opposing ends, he almost finds himself irritated. now? in the wake of everything that had happened in venera and godsblood, with Pleroma captives in the bowels of achamoth's dungeons, and a plan for trapping a powerful enemy in its waiting jaws?

he isn't given enough time for his vexation to take root. instead his wrist is taken, and his attention is taken almost as suddenly as it might take for him to adjust to his surroundings to one of the very souls that had found its way here. he can only say so because he doesn't recognize this one, not from the Regent's assembly, and the desperation in his voice and in his grasp, the tears in his eyes...

in a way, makoto can understand it. when faced with the same reality, a part of him had felt the same way when forced to think that he might have lost J. though, of course, the rest of him had descended into wroth fury.

the wrist that ranmaru had reached out to grab flips and twists so that he can take his hand; two large draconic wings flare out on either side of the demon, helping to blot out the landscape of light and darkness and infinite space. his other hand moves to the side of his face, gentle.

just as are the honeyed words, )
It's alright. I won't leave you.

Jonathan "Scarecrow" Crane | Batman Arkhamverse | The Sovereign

[personal profile] entsetzt 2022-07-31 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
The Dark Outside

All his plans, his vision of a Gotham bereft of its saviour, the legend of the Bat peeled away to reveal only a man betrayed by his allies and crippled by fear...such wasted effort. Useless, in the long run.

These are the thoughts that occupy Doctor Jonathan Crane's mind as he wanders the infinite darkness at the edge of reality. Even though his mind is clear, free of the terror that had gripped him once his own toxin had been turned on him, is cold comfort, for he must face the reality completely sane. All that work, years of planning, perfecting his toxin, and in the end, none of it mattered. He had hoped to wither the people of Gotham's hope, and maybe he had, but so too had fear withered. Gotham had withered.

The world had withered.

"Everything withers in the end." He speaks to the darkness, vaguely aware that there are others there with him, allowing a small, mirthless laugh that echoes throughout the dark. "I should have seen it. Should have known how pointless it all was."

Rebirth-Sovereign Shrine

Everything fades, and so too does Crane, and he welcomes the coming oblivion. But the sensation of nothingness is all too quickly snatched away as consciousness returns and he finds himself trapped in his cocoon. With great effort (Crane has never been a physically-oriented man like some of Gotham's more notorious crime lords, but even this feels pathetic), he manages to push his way out, sliding down onto the stone floor with a loud thud. Weakly, he tries to rise, and almost manages it before his left leg (ah yes, after Waylon's tender ministrations, that leg never did heal properly...and Crane seems to have misplaced the leg brace he wore along with the rest of his gear) gives out and sends him crashing back down with a small, pained grunt.

He simply lies there, painfully thin, his body still bearing many of the marks of Killer Croc's savagery, though after a few moments, he manages to turn onto his side. His face is an unnatural maze of scar tissue and sack-cloth that at times seems a mask, but also in other places gives the impression of being sewn directly into or over his skin. His good eye (the other is milky white and useless, another memento from the good Crocodile) searches the cavern. Someone must be coming, that much seems logical enough to assume, given the absurdity of this situation.

Finally, he hears the sound of footsteps. "I'm afraid I'm going to need some help getting out of here." He remarks in quiet, sibilant voice, though Crane does at least manage to pull himself into a sitting position to get a better look at the newcomer.

"Doctor Jonathan Crane. What is going on?"

"Well, it's a bit of a complicated story about what's going on, Doctor," Childe replies, approaching with a towel and some basic garments. The other will have all the opportunity to get something more comfortable and fitting once they're back in Acamoth.

He crouches down, offering the items to the newcomer, and while he doesn't seem particularly phased by the appearance of the other, he does have to take an objective look if only in curiosity of how well Crane can or can't move on his own. "First things first, though: You said you'll need help ... Will me assisting you in walking be enough or do you need to be carried?"

Dorothea Arnault | Fire Emblem: Three Houses | Celebrant

[personal profile] rosethorns 2022-07-31 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
i. Dreaming - The Dark Outside
[Such a wondrous and inexplicable sight laid before her, a tapestry more grand than any mortal eyes should rightly see.

Dorothea doesn’t know how long she’s been swept away in this terrifying and beautiful cosmos, but eventually she finds herself drifting closer and closer to the awaiting emptiness of the void. It beckons to her as memories of years spent at war whisper ceaselessly in the back of her mind, no matter how hard she wishes to forget. Something about it feels almost poetic—the kind heart of the diva slowly but surely worn threadbare by the unavoidable tendrils of violence, until it can do nothing but buckle under the weight of it and succumb to nothingness.

Such a tragic opera it would make.

She’s so caught up in it that she doesn’t notice you until you’re practically right there beside her. Before she can even really think about it, she flinches and shoves at you with a mixture of suspicion and contempt marring her beautiful features. A familiar feeling, one etched into her as a struggling child that never truly went away, even as life seemed to brighten for her. Rooting out the darkness in one’s heart was a hard thing indeed.]

ii. Rebirth
[The comfort of the warmth surrounding Dorothea proves to be a meager shield against the slow rise of unease that accompanies her returning senses. She pushes against the all-encompassing embrace tentatively at first, but the resistance serves to only stoke the embers of that unease into full-blown panic. It feels like it takes a small eternity for her to break free.

By the time she finally crawls out to the cool, open air, her heart is pounding heavily in her chest and her limbs are shaking traitorously beneath her. After she takes a few lung fulls of shaky breaths, it finally hits her that she is crouched there on all fours, completely naked. She sits bolt-upright, arms hurriedly attempting to cover herself up as she glances about in search of anyone who might be nearby. Blessedly, the peculiar surroundings seem devoid of others for the moment, but the thought of wandering around here naked is not an eager one.

A handful of feet away sits a large crystaline boulder that immediately seizes her attention. She grabs a broken piece of the chrysalis she’s just crawled out of—meager defense is better than none at all—then scrambles to crouch behind it where she can mostly keep herself hidden from view from the cavern at large.

Her nerves are rattled enough that the moment she glimpses movement, she throws the glass-like shard in her hand at it without much thought.]


I’m not decent! So just… stay back! [The briefest of pauses as she feels her cheeks reddening, then she adds:] Please.

iii. Returned - Pleroma

a - for fellow newbies
[Dorothea could think of worse places to end up after such a tiresome and eventful day than this. Clothed and secure and surrounded by such a wondrous sight, she would be hard-pressed not to finally let her guard down a little. And frankly, she’s thankful for that; being on edge for so long is far too tiring.

By now she has shaken enough of her apprehension to dare to venture around the area a bit to take in the sights of the ruins more fully. A blanket is draped over her shoulders, less of a fashion statement and more of an extra layer of comfort, judging by the way she pulls it tightly against herself with both hands.

She drifts along the shimmering shores mostly without aim until her path draws her close to someone seated on the sands. Judging from either their expression or their garb, Dorothea pegs them as a fellow newcomer, which puts her at ease enough to get her to approach. She’ll settle down beside them with a quick flash of a smile before turning her gaze upwards toward the watery ceiling above them.]


It’s beautiful. Like something out of a fairy tale, isn’t it?

b - for established characters
[Dorothea had been glad for the opportunity to get some space and rest for a time after all she’s endured since waking here, but before long some of her earlier unease begins to return. Not so much from current circumstances, but rather the lingering question of what the future would hold for her now. As beautiful and ethereal as this place is, it’s clear to see that this is only something of a waystop.

She seeks out someone who looks like they know what they’re doing here—anyone who doesn’t look like a lost puppy draped in the simple clothing she and her fellow new arrivals wore—and strides toward them with as much confidence as she can muster. She tentatively reaches a hand out to their arm to get their attention.]


Excuse me. [A quick flash of a smile—seemingly genuine, if brief—before she continues, words direct yet cheery.] Hi there. I was just wondering… what comes next, here?

iv. Wildcard
[Feel free to throw anything my way, or shoot me a DM if you’d like to plot something out beforehand. For those canon-familiar: I’m playing Dorothea from mid-late Crimson Flower route, so she’s post-timeskip!]

The Dark Outside

[personal profile] entsetzt 2022-07-31 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Crane stumbles back at being shoved, but doesn't seem troubled by the gesture. He fixes Dorothea with his one good eye, and then past her, to the infinite darkness beyond.

"Beautiful, isn't it." He remarks. "To see death distilled down into its purest form." That's what the darkness is, the stripping away of ambition, hope, thought, consciousness, self, everything into just...darkness and silence. Forever.

"Most people would run screaming in terror from such a perfect oblivion, but we walk towards it. Why do you think that is, my dear?" Despite his appearance, Crane's voice has a strangely soft, quiet, almost fatherly tone to it.
