[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.

[ Speeding? Easy. Braking? Not as easy. She shoots past before she manages to slow and turn. But she's nothing if not stubborn. Arya picks up speed as she follows him. ]

[wilder]

[he moves again]

Hey now, be sure to work on stopping there.

[persequor]

[ Oh she is so going to catch you B( ]

Shut up!

[wilder]

What? You never know when you'll have to make a sudden stop.

[persequor]

[ Not talking. Got a ginger to catch. B( B( ]

[wilder]

[He flies away again, but this time he'll hold still in his new spot to see if she can catch him]

[persequor]

[ SUCCESS :D ]

Ha!

[wilder]

[he grins at her]

Good job, my little wolf! Just finished your first flying lesson.

How's it feel?

[persequor]

Freeing.

[wilder]

Really, huh? That sounds good.

[persequor]

[ It is. Arya smiles, thinking of her mother's reaction when she sees her youngest daughter can fly... ]

[persequor]

[ ...only to remember she does not know where her mother is. Or her sister. No one does. She might hope they had been sent back. Sansa was safe. But Cat...

Her grip on Zelos tightens reflexively as her wings refuse to hold her up. ]

[wilder]

[it's okay your mother is probably just a zombie right now]

Whoa-

[He sees her wings suddenly failing, and wraps his arms around her to hold her up. Fortunately, he's able to hold both of them up while flying]

Careful.

[persequor]

[ Pulling her wings out of sight, Arya rests her forehead against Zelos' chest. ]

I'd like to be on the ground now, please.

[wilder]

[He swallows a little...before nodding. Its easy enough to carry them both onto the ground, landing very lightly while looking down at her with concern]

[persequor]

[ She pushes out of his arms slowly. Her hand goes for the bracelet. She does not twist it so much as hold it. Her gaze remains fixed on her feet. ]

[wilder]

[Ever get that horrible sinking feeling? Well he's getting it right now ]

Arya..?

[persequor]

[ Mutely, she shakes her head. ]

[wilder]

[Yep...he's getting scared. He remembers too well, the looks of the faces of his friends right before they gave themselves up to save Colette and him. He remembered how they could never hear him screaming and crying from his crystal prison that it was a trap, that giving up their own soul would never free theirs. ]

[Arya's look wasn't quite the same. But it was close enough]

Arya, my little wolf, I know things hurt. But..

Please, don't remove that bracelet.

[His tone sounds a bit more pleading, a bit more desperate than he'd like. He's just so tired of losing everyone. ]

[persequor]

[ Arya frowns in confusion. She looks at him, frown deepening as she catches his expression. ]

I wasn't going to take it off.

[wilder]

[LIAR IT TOTALLY CROSSED YOUR MIND. He allows himself to breath. ]

Promise?

[persequor]

I still have to find my mother and my sister. I can't do that without it. [ She takes his hand. ] I won't leave you either. You've my word. I won't let you alone.

[wilder]

[He listens to those words, letting them sink in. The more suicidal part of him sees a problem here. He can't get his rest if he's got someone always with him. If there's a child (two children now) sticking with him, he's going to have to stick around longer. Arya will be harder to shake than Genis anyway, Genis just needed some closer friends again]

[But the part of him that's caused him to keep going all these weeks, no years, the part that always stopped him from ever just doing the deed with his own blade- overwhelms that depression with relief. There is hope, there is hope. As little as it may be. ]

[Eventually, he'll lightly squeeze her hand]

...Okay.

[persequor]

[ Even after all this time, Arya still finds the word funny. Thus she lowers the pitch of her voice trying to mimic him. ]

Okay.

[wilder]

[he smiles at her...then pulls her in with his hand so he can give her a noogie :> ]
