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.

[It seems to say LIMBUS COMPANY.]

Yes! It is the same!

[ 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.

[ 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!

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

Why?

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

It would be nice to rely on you, but you’re sort of the real main attraction, right? Or perhaps the props? The ones that HAVE to be here.

Without performers, there would be no performances.

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

What's so important about the performances anyway?

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

Well, we can exist now because of the performances.

[They flop onto their back, reading a book called Devil is a Part Timer.]

Digs up old stories that were supposed to be hidden. Things like Legends were all forgotten! Guess someone needs us to exist.

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

That someone has gotta be the Showmaster, huh.

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

Yeah!

Re: STORIES

[pallidification]

[ sits down by Design ]

So she's using us to get at you?

Re: STORIES

[ticketmaster]

Yeah!

[The DESIGN makes room for her.]

I think she wants us to help her somehow.
