[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.

[His smile fades a little. He hates lying to her]

I'll be fine. I might not have super ninja skills or can fly or...well actually anything involving powers at all. But I have it good up here [he'll tap the side of his head] there's not much I can't think myself out of.

[ino]

[she smiles; she's pretty sure he's hiding something from her, but ...]

I know. But the "be careful" thing goes for you, too. 'Kay?

[whichwayyoulean]

I'll be careful. I promise you I'll be absolutely careful. The most careful of careful men you'll ever meet.

[He falters for a moment, though. He really should go now, but this could very well be the last time he speaks to her]

But hey, should anything ever happen to me - and I'm not saying it will, because I am going to be all that aforementioned careful - buuuut just in case some freak accident happens, just remember that you've always been one of my dearest friends and

[and that my wasted heart will love you for the rest of time]

...and that Zelos still needs to be checked up on every day in case he goes crazy...er.

[Yeah, he'll be heading off towards the exit now, with a flippant wave]

Remember to get some sleep!~

i like how it took me forever to just write this

[ino]

[STARING. STARING. WHAT THE FUCK]

--What?!

OSCAR MATERIAL

[whichwayyoulean]

[He's going to carry on walking, only stopping to pick up his axe]

I said remember to get some sleep. You already agreed so no going back on that.

MAGIC IN TEXT FORM

[ino]

Uh, I know that. What about the rest of it?! [she's getting up to get between him and the exit]

DAMN RIGHT

[whichwayyoulean]

[No, Ino, you're supposed to make this easy for him. He pauses, wondering if it would be rude just to step past her. Probably. She'd also probably break his leg]

The looking after Zelos part? Well that's a given. Someone has to.

[ino]

Once-ler!

[YOU KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Damnit all. He glances to the exit, before letting out a breath, his gaze falling on her again]

Look. I'm just saying that one day I might not come back, is all. And I wanted you to know that I'm grateful for everything you've done for me. You've been...

[Wonderful. He reaches out, but pauses, wherever his hand was headed, it switches direction and instead pats her on the shoulder]

You've been a good friend.

[ino]

[she grabs his wrist, when he pats her shoulder]

Where are you going?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He gives a futile tug, but hey he's not stupid, he knows she's stronger than he is. By a lot]

Nowhere, okay? Just going into town to get some supplies. [And storm the castle] I'm sorry I got sentimental now, all I'm saying is that I'm not like the rest of you guys. One day my luck might actually run out.

It occurred to me that I should probably say my goodbyes while I still could.

[It's only a half lie, really. The sentiment is all there, he knows full well that he hasn't got any powers on his side, and one day his number very likely will be up]

[ino]

[she's eyeing him very carefully, keeping her grip on his wrist firm]

Well, then you won't mind if I come with you to make sure that doesn't happen.

[whichwayyoulean]

No!

[That came out a lot firmer than he intended. He winces a little, hunching his shoulders. Way to go, moron]

No. Look, just stay here and rest, okay? Please? I'll be fine. I'll be more than fine. I;ll be super fine.

[ino]

Tell me the truth.

[she tightens her grip on his wrist]

Or you won't be going anywhere. [because she will break all of your bones 8|]

[whichwayyoulean]

Okay, ow! You are the most impossibly irritating woman on the planet you know that?

[He glances towards the group sitting by the fire, before walking further into the cave again, away from any prying ears]

Fine. Have it your way. But you're not going to stop me. [He pauses, no going back now] I'm going to get Martel out.

1/2

[ino]

Maybe I just don't want my friends doing something stupid and suici --

[ino]

... dal.

[...


she glances over to the others before practically hissing at him]

Are you fucking crazy?!

[whichwayyoulean]

[Kind of, yes. That's what hermitry does to a person]

I know what I'm doing, okay? I've been studying the castle for months. I know the guard movement, I know which way I'm going to go in, and I'm pretty sure I can gauge when Mithos won't be in the throne room. But it all requires a very small window of opportunity, which you are eating up by the way by yelling at me.

[ino]

[well, she can understand that. so she'll start walking. without letting go of his wrist]

You are not going alone! There's no way!

[whichwayyoulean]

[And he'll dig his heels in, pulling his arm back]

Uh, yes I am. It won't work with more than one person. More than one person means there's more noise, more targets and more chance of getting caught. Ino, seriously, I can do this. Just trust me, please?

[ino]

[she's just looking at him like he's completely lost it] Uh, hello? I'm a NINJA! I don't get caught! I don't make noise! And how dare you give me that shit about being worried I'll get turned or get killed and then go out and put yourself in the perfect fucking situation to have both of those things happen to you?!

[whichwayyoulean]

I won't get turned or killed. [...Okay actually there's a good chance he will] Both of us can't go [he waves an arm in the general direction of their tiny little resistance ] there's not enough of us to risk losing the both of us. They still need people to look out for them. And Zelos and his little gang of misfit kids.

[He pauses, he knows she's really not going to like this next part, and chances are he's going to get hit for it, but it's the truth (mostly) and she needs to hear it] And if it's one of us going, it might as well be the one of us with nothing left to lose. And that sure isn't you.

[ino]

[... yep. she just kind of stares at him in shock before she swiftly lifts a hand to slap him across the face]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He was expecting it, really. He doesn't even pull himself up to his full height to avoid it. If it'll make her feel better, let her land it. Still. OW, Ino.

He rubs his face for a moment, before giving her a look]

What? We both know it's true.

[ino]

You know what? I don't care if you think you have nothing left. [even if it hurts to hear that, but she won't voice that] And you're right -- I have some things left to lose. But one of them is you! And even if you don't feel the same way, I'm still not going to let you throw your life away out of some stupid notion that you can't count on anyone else to help you! I just won't! I've had enough of not being able -- or allowed -- to do something!
