[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.

[ino]

[she's pulling a little at her skin there ... eugh, it is getting a little baggy ... so she just shoves him -- not hard, but enough to make her point] Oh, shut up.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He chuckles, regaining his balance]

Come on, you know I had to at least try. You're no good to anyone exhausted.

[ino]

Well, I wouldn't have offered if I didn't think I could do it.

[whichwayyoulean]

And what if you were wrong? And you ended up making a mistake because you were too tired. That you got yourself captured, or turned into one of them or got yourself killed? I don't know what I'd do if-

[He cuts himself off, moving to stand]

Just get some rest, okay?

[ino]

[ ... well, she wasn't expecting this to get serious like that asl;kddjfk]

Once-ler ...

[whichwayyoulean]

[Even in horrible future dreamworlds, the Once-ler can always be counted to be a Debbie Downer. Still, he offers her a half smile, in an attempt to show how not bothered about being very bothered about this he is]

Just a couple hours okay? Then you can go skipping off into the town to your hearts content.

[ino]

[okay, she's not really concerned about the going out thing -- she's glad to stay in if he doesn't really need it. but that speech has her concerned ...]

Come here. [she pats the space next to her, sit back down mister 8|]

[whichwayyoulean]

[No, Ino, he doesn't want to. He doesn't want to talk about that little slip up, because it could lead to talking about other things. Things even after all this time he really, honestly doesn't want to verbalise. Especially in front of her.

He glances towards the exit of the caves, beyond the campfire in the middle of the room, where most of the resistance gathered, unheeding of his own nice quiet corner of the cave]

I should probably get going....

[ino]

Once-ler.

[BUDDY YOU ARE GONNA SIT DOWN AND YOU ARE GONNA LIKE IT]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He ponders his chances of running for it, but quickly dismisses them. Ino can outrun him easily. With a heavy sigh, he moves to sit beside her, staring at the ground, remaining silent]

[ino]

[good boy B) she'll inch a little closer with a smile]

Hey.

[she'll lean her head down a little, trying to make eye contact]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He clears his throat, finally relenting and looking at her, arching an eyebrow]

I think you have 'hello' and 'goodbye' mixed up.

[ino]

[she raises an eyebrow, though the smile stays]

What's that supposed to mean?

[whichwayyoulean]

[Well, he is about to take part in what could be considered a suicide mission by most but not mentioning that to her, nope]

I was about to leave, and the... [A sigh] Never mind. Hi.

[ino]

[lmfao, she just lets out a good-natured sigh]

I was mostly hoping you'd look at me. [when she said "hey", anyways ... but back on track, here:] So you can see how sincere I am when I tell you that I'm not gonna let some stupid blonde brat take me out.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He lets out a sigh, suddenly looking very tired, because he is tried. He's tired of worrying about them all, it's one of the main reasons he cuts himself from the group. So he doesn't have to watch them getting themselves hurt or killed. So he doesn't get close. So he DOESN'T worry.

...But some people always get through that, and Ino is one of them]

I get how sincere you are, trust me. You could wipe the floor with most of them. But it doesn't hurt to be careful.

[ino]

I'm always careful.

[she'll put a hand on his back, giving him a little soothing rub on his shoulder] I know this is hard on you. But we can do this, we can make it through.

[whichwayyoulean]

[The touch is soothing, he has to admit. Still, his shoulders sag a little]

I'm the pessimistic one, remember? The speeches of making it though are better saved for any of the stragglers we get in.

[ino]

[amused]

I know you listen to me. Sometimes.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Begrudgingly]

Well, sometimes it sinks in if I like it or not. [Giving her a pointed look] But this isn't one of those times. You need to sleep.

[ino]

[she raises her hands defensively] Hey, I'll sleep. If it makes you feel better.

[whichwayyoulean]

It will, actually. It'll make me feel a lot better.

[She'll get some rest and also be asleep while he goes to do something Very Stupid]

So, am I allowed to go now?

[ino]

You're seriously leaving right now?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He nods, standing. He's learned the movements of the guards, planted everything he needs to. He has to get the timing just right]

I've got things to do. You know me, busy busy.

[ino]

[she'll frown for a moment]

I worry about you, too, you know.
