[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.

[persequor]

Why didn't you kill me?

[wilder]

- What?

Why would I kill you?

[persequor]

[ A faint shrug. ]

I wondered.

[wilder]

Yeah, well-

[his arms cross against his chest; his tone is a bit bitter]

Mithos...made me hurt too many of the people I care about. I'm not about to hurt more now that I have free will.

[persequor]

[ There is no outward expression of it, but a tiny happy bubble balloons in her chest at being included among the people he cares about. ]

You'll get your justice.

[ Mithos' head on a spike will be a good start. For Arya, justice and revenge prove interchangeable at times. ]

[wilder]

[Yeah because he'd let anyone use him as personal monkey bars totally]

Yeah, I know. He's not gonna get away with all this.

[Oh good that's his viewpoint on it here too. He may not have a clue what to do with his life after all this is over or if he even wants to keep on living it, but he knows well enough he wants to see that monster dead]

[persequor]

Will we stay here for now? [ Yes. We. You have a new shadow now. ]

[wilder]

[Yep. He heard that we. Damn little midgets insisting to tag along with him]

Didn't I say we'd need to go to the resistance to get you some shoes?

[persequor]

Later.

[wilder]

What? Why later?

[persequor]

I don't want to go back yet.

[wilder]

Jeez...

Fine. We'll wait here until Genis gets back.

[persequor]

Genis?

[wilder]

A boy from my world. He went to get some supplies from the Resistance.

[persequor]

He's been staying with you?

[wilder]

For the past couple days.

He has no one else left and he refuses to stay somewhere safer like the Resistance or the Dead Zone. [you know, kinda like YOU]

[persequor]

[ Her expression grows very, very blank. After so long, it is easy. When she speaks, her voice has no inflection either. ]

You two can do what you like. I don't care.

[wilder]

Yeah, bullshit.

[That look? That monotone? He knows he said something she didn't like and it stands to piss him off more than any of her temper tantrums. He moves to pace, his hand moving to run through his hair out of pure habit- and only working him up more when instead of settling in a bed of hair it quickly finds air past his head. No one else quite got why that bothered him so much. That it stood for so much more than just the loss of good looks. No, it was just a constant physical reminder that everything had been taken away from him. ]

[He was broken before. Barely a person that barely was held together by glue only recently placed there. Now, after everything that happened, he was thoroughly shattered, he doubt there was any hope to repair this time. ]

[Just WHAT were all these people expecting him to be? To do? He knows everyone is going through pain right now, but why didn't they get that there was nothing left for him to give? ]

[persequor]

[ Uncharacteristically, she does not seize the opportunity to argue. A shadow. Still water. She watches him, face wiped clean of any emotion. ]

[wilder]

Stop that.

[One of the things he really really hates these days? BLANK FACES]

[persequor]

I'm not doing anything.

[wilder]

[He just makes an annoyed sound and crosses his arms. He knows saying that you're blank facing and that freaks him out sounds kiiinda crazy]

[persequor]

[ She scoffs. ]

Didn't you want to head back?

[wilder]

[a sigh, at least maybe they can catch Genis on the way]

Yeah, sure- let's go.

[he'll start walking in that direction]

[persequor]

[ She lets him go on ahead and then follows after. As easy as it would be to catch up, she lets the distance between them stretch. She wants to pull out her wings again if only because she knows they bother him. (Something she doesn't quite understand. The wings aren't bad; Arya finds them pretty. They're the only pretty thing about her.) She finally decides against it. Her hand starts twisting the bracelet around before she remembers the reprimand and lets go. ]
