SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (THURS)

[showmaster]

A familiar voice can be heard above you, you're not sure if they're talking to you or not but it does feel like you're part of this conversation:

"What a Wonderful Story that you have. I've read it many times when I was feeling sad. You know, I wanted to keep it in my personal collection, but it doesn't seem that's going to be possible. To grant my wish, I'd have to sacrifice what it means to be a reader ... to become the story. That's The End that I'm looking for.

STORIES

[ticketmaster]

When you're pushed through the doors, you find yourselves standing in the familiar lobby of Limelight Stage, but there are a few different things about this place.

The standard decor is there, there are chairs to read in and tables to work on, if you feel cooped up in your house and just want a place to spend your time, this is the place to be. There are even rooms available for private meetings and they are soundproof so no prying ears can eavesdrop!

There's nothing too fancy here to note except there is one singular window where you can peek out and see that you are in fact close to a beautiful garden, a yard is nearby with several gravestones. The familiar ocean is no longer there.

Various figures of many, many, many individuals are roaming in this lobby, almost lifelessly. Many of them are faces you recognize aka performers on this boat, including members of Cirrus. However, one particular figure to note is Nana, who is now sporting horns and wings. Huh.

If you want to go to your dorm, you can in fact go to any dorm down the hallway.

[ ... if I go to Sun Sign dorm will I see a lifeless version of myself. quickly goes to check ]

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

[You enter the Sun Sign dorm, and it looks like the dorm you are familiar with. However.



There is a small figure with a blue cloak in front of you, flipping through books that are scattered all across the dorm. They turn to look at you and instead of a face, you can only see a nebula of stars looking right at you.]

Hello.

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

... Design?

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

Yes, yes, that's me! Hello Canvas! Or I can call you by your real name!

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

I'd rather you didn't, unless you can use it in a way that doesn't cause a fear effect. Are you the only one here?

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

No, there are always others here. See?

[They hold up a book.]

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

[ leans in to look at the book ]

I meant like people, but I guess in this place it's sort of the same...

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

[It seems to say LIMBUS COMPANY.]

Yes! It is the same!

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

[ MY WORKPLACE???? ]

I see, you're taking a look at mine, huh.

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

Yes!

[They hold a cool pipe to her and a captain's hat as well.]

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

I'll let you keep those. I'm not a fan of the style.

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

What!!!!! You should wear them...

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

Haah... I'll wear the hat then, if you want.

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

[If you put on the hat, you'll receive a memory adjacent to being a captain or leader of some sort.]

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

[ brief pause to process memories from canto V of limbus company like

i don't have time to unpack this right now but that was a lot of unhinged screaming i was doing ]


That easy, huh.

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

Yeah! Do you want it?

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

The hat? All the other memories...?

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

The book. You see, all of your stories can eventually be found here. Maybe not here but here.

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

'Here' like... this is the Showmaster's... dream?

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

Yes! Not here here but here. You see, we protect a lot of things where we can. These rooms are ours. Blessings this large normally cannot be overwritten but we are very large ourselves, hehe.

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

[ gives DESIGN a headpat ]

You've been working really hard for us.

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

You’ve been working hard, too. You’ve found us.

But it would be better if one day, these Legends didn’t hold the same power that they do. It’d be better to rely on all of you…

[Pause.]

With your permission of course.

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

It makes the most sense to me to spread out the burden. The more of us we can rely on the better, right?

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

Yes! But you have to very very careful!
