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

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.

Once-ler. [She gets up and hugs him tightly with her free arm, sword by her side.] I'm not wrong. I've had a lot of time to think about this. This is the way it has to be. [She pulls back, standing there.] Now go.

[The Once-ler seems to consider that for a moment. Before suddenly he wraps his arms around her and starts off to that side room he came through to get here]

NOPE.

Wha-?! Put me down! You have no right to do this! [She's struggling, and that makes her drop the sword.]

Sorry, no can do. [He considers stopping for the sword, after all, weapons are hard to come by. But Martel was even HARDER to get so he leaves it where it lies, instead heading into the side room and the window he 'opened' with a rock]

This really is for your own good. [Going to helpfully rise her up to the window]

[She's still struggling, and being decidedly unhelpful.] You are an idiot! Have you even thought this through? What do I have left out there?

[Fine, BE DIFFICULT. Gosh, Martel. He rolls his eyes, pushing her through the window, keeping one hand on what he hopes is not a delicate part of her costume, pulling himself through after her]

Have you met me? When do I ever think anything through? And you have US. People who still care about you. [Yuan. But he'll carefully not mention Yuan right now. That probably won't go down well]

Yes, I'm sure. That's why there were all sorts of people coming to rescue me. [Now she's just being mean, and she knows that people probably wanted to rescue her, but she knows how far down on the list she probably was. Who would want or could risk their lives for her? And they were right to do it. they would have been killed. And yet... Once-Ler is here. She sighs. She doesn't have enough energy to fight him.] Why are you, anyway?

Edited 2012-10-09 03:03 (UTC)

They're still there. But you know, for most of them just surviving every day is a top priority. [He frowns as he continues heading back off towards the forest, keeping a good grip on her in case she decides to make a break for it]

I think I've abandoned enough friends in my life already.

I know that. I didn't actually expect anyone to rescue me, nor do I really blame them. In a way, I suppose, I was safe. Safer than everybody else. I would have escaped eventually, you know. You didn't have to rescue me. I would have been fine. You, on the other hand... [He wouldn't have been if he had been caught.]

[The Once-ler is silent for a while, continuing his trudge back towards the caves. Eventually, though, he deigns to answer her]

It wouldn't have mattered. In case you've forgotten after being locked up for so long, it's not like I have a great deal to live for anyway. [Most of his friends here are gone. Escaped to the deadzone, or gone home, or angels or...dead. And he has nothing waiting for him at home except five decades of loneliness and regret. He literally has nothing to lose]

Well, it would have mattered to me! Nobody else should have to die to keep me 'safe' or for me or because of me, or whichever thing it is.

This is me not caring about your opinion because it's wrong.

[They're heading deeper into the forest now] If I put you down will you walk and not go charging back to Mithos?

No, of course not. It would be a bit silly now, wouldn't it? But.. [She looks back.] I promised Colette... [But she can't go back now, even if Once-ler would let her.]

Okay, good. [He puts her down] We'll find a way to deal with Colette and all of them, okay? We've got a pretty decent operation running now.

...We do? And do you have anything to wear? I'm kind of wearing almost nothing here. [She's eying your coat right now.]

Yeah, you'd be surprised. And no, I do- [Oh. He sees that look] It'll be like a tent on you.

It's either that, or I walk around practically naked in a forest. [Really, Once, do you want that?]

[UGH. He pulls the sling he keeps his axe on off (because there is no way he's giving up the only weapon he has, no siree) before sliding off his coat and giving it to her]

There, happy now.

[She shrugs it on, rolling up the sleeves a bit. It doesn't exactly stretch over her chest, but it works as some cover.] Yes, thank you. So, where are we going?

[He'd comment that it really does look ridiculous and that she's dragging it through the dirt, but he holds his tongue, instead opting to start walking again]

Home. Well. As much of one as we can make anyway.

...Home? [She headtilts.] The Resistance?

Of course, where else?

Mm. Do me a favor, and go on without me. [She stops walking at that.]

[He pauses, before narrowing his eyes and folding his arms]

No. You'll just head back to the castle and get yourself killed or captured.

I'm not going back to the castle. I promise. [And she really isn't. Not yet, at least.] But I'm not going to the resistance either.
