[Log] You Never Had the Head For All That Bigger Picture Stuff

[wilder]

Who: Colette Brunel, Genis Sage, Lloyd Irving, Martel Yggdrasil, Raine Sage, Sheena Fujibayashi, Yuan Ka-Fai, Zelos Wilder AND YOU
What: Joint Nightmare since for some reason they all share the same fear of zombie angels and crazy godmod teenagers
When: This Weekend
Where: Dream Land
Rating: PG-13 to R

[When arriving in this dream, you'll find yourself in various parts of Paradisa whether it be the castle or the grounds. And boy, do things sure look different. The town is nothing more but rubble, with the farmlands surrounding it razed and salted. There is no sign of any towns person still being alive. The castle still stands, but it seems to lack the life it once had.]

[As for the residents? Well, they got a worst fate than the townspeople. If you come across most residents, there's a good amount of changes. First noticeable thing is they now have wings (some like fairies while most have typical white bird angel wings). They all seem to have a red crystal embedded on them. But worst of all? They are completely devoid of any personality or free thought. Their eyes seem dead and they only seem to respond to the wishes of the one who caused this]

[If you're lucky, you might come across someone who hasn't succumb to this fate - they seem to have taken to hiding in the forest or the mountains. If not? Well...good luck.]

[OOC: TLDR TIME YAY! A joint dream where essentially Mithos Yggdrasil showed up in paradisa and took things over! Pretty much meaning he destroyed the town and turned every resident into zombie-angels. The Symphonian cast (including Mithos cough) will be all over this, but anyone is free to participate in this dream too! If you wish to do so, we got a number of options if you want to more!

OPTION A - Returning Resident/ just wandered into this room.
You just wandered into this or have no idea what's going on. Try not to get killed by angels.

OPTION B - Survivor.
You remember this and don't know it's just a dream. You remember when Mithos Yggdrasil started turning residents into angels, razing the town and claiming himself god. You were among one of the few lucky ones who escaped, who are currently in hiding and either want to find a way to take down Mithos- or find a way out into the Dead Zone where his hand has not reached yet. Maybe you're hiding in the rubble of the city, or the mountains or the forest. Try not to get killed by angels.

OPTION C - Former Angel.
You remember this and don't know it's just a dream. You remember when Mithos Yggdrasil started turning residents into angels, razing the town and claiming himself god. But you were unlucky, and were among the residents who got turned into the mindless drones. You remember how you were forced to kill all the townspeople, help in turning fellow residents into mindless drones like you. But you got lucky in the way that someone saved you, put a keycrest (fancy piece of metal) on your crystal so you regained your mind. You're still an angel- you still don't eat, sleep and maybe even your sense of touch is diminished or gone- but at least you have a mind and soul again. Plus the enhanced senses, strength and reflexes are really nice too. Try not to get caught again.

OPTION D - Angel
You remember this and don't know it's just a dream. You remember when Mithos Yggdrasil started turning residents into angels, when he razed the town, when he claimed himself God of a now lifeless land. But you were unlucky, and were among the residents who got turned into the mindless drones. You have enhanced senses, strength, reflexes and wings. On the flipside, you don't eat, sleep, feel and talking is optional too (since many angels have no voices). You feel nothing. All you desire to do is follow Mithos and his great plan. Have fun.

[ There's another presence. Genis notices it only when he gets closer, and he looks up, obviously wary. This man didn't seem to have wings... but he was holding an axe. Which was scary enough.

So Genis pulls out his own kendama out of his pocket, licking his lips nervously as he gets to his feet. It doesn't look quite threatening compared to the blade on that axe, but hey... ]

... Are you an angel?

[whichwayyoulean]

[...Well darn it, it's just a kid. The Once-ler sighs, shifting his stance into a less threatening one]

Do I look like an angel?

[pocketmage]

[ Genis lowers his kendama, as well, keeping it in his hanging arm regardless. ]

Some of them can hide their wings. [ he simply replied, in a sigh. ] But... it's nice to see someone who isn't one.

[whichwayyoulean]

I noticed. [He frowns, glancing around] When did you even get here? I haven;t seen you here before.

[pocketmage]

I've been hiding. Running. [ He shrugs. ] So... I haven't seen much of anyone, either. Unless they were angels.

Have you seen anyone?

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler regards him or a moment. Mithos wouldn't start recruiting non angels to do his dirty work for him, of that much he was sure]

There's a camp about half a mile that way. [He points] You can get food and a place to sleep there.

[pocketmage]

[ He pushes some of his hair out of his face, a bit surprised. ]

Really?

... wait, what are you doing out here, then?

[whichwayyoulean]

Me? I'm going back to town. [He frowns] I've got unfinished business there.

Go to the base. They'll take care of you.

[pocketmage]

... What sort of unfinished business? [ He looks him over, a tad concerned. ]

There were angels patrolling, last time I checked.

[whichwayyoulean]

I know their patrols, I can watch out for them. [He glances back at Genis] I've been doing this for a long time.

[pocketmage]

[ ... ]

Are you trying to help someone?

[whichwayyoulean]

I am. It's a personal thing.[He's not mentioning Martel to a stranger, oh no]

[pocketmage]

[ He nods. ]

Do you... have a Key Crest?

[ He doesn't have any, but if this guy knows where to get some... if there's even hope of that. ]

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler pulls a few out of his pocket]

Making them kills whatever spare time I have.

[pocketmage]

[ Have a genuinely shocked look as he looks over the few he had pulled out. ]

That's ... that's amazing!

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler gives a grin, pocketing them again]

I know. Some people just have a natural talent.

[pocketmage]

[ He gives him a little, wan smile. ]

You must be good at building things.

[ Like Lloyd...

...

But hey. They had hope, now.

He hesitates. They haven't even exchanged names yet. ]

Right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Genis.

[whichwayyoulean]

I'm an inventor. [He pauses] Or I was... before. [ Before everything went to hell]

I'm the Once-ler.

[pocketmage]

[ Have a little nod. ]

It's nice to meet you, Once-ler. [ He hesitates before holding out a hand, brushing his messy hair out of his face before looking up at him. ]

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler considers all possible actions for a moment. His favourite one is walking away, but generally that's frowned upon. So, reluctantly, he reaches out and takes Genis' hand, shaking it]

Likewise.
