SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (FRIDAY)

[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.

[As you walk through, you see various ads:

"DREAMDRIFT LABRATORY - FOR THOSE WHO WEREN'T BLESSED BY THE LEGENDS. CONTACT XXX-XXX-XXX IF INTERESTED IN OUR RESEARCH"

"GENIUS CHILDREN ARE BEING BORN."

"BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN POWERS. BLESSINGS AREN'T ONLY FOR GODS."]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Jealous egomaniacs. Bad combination.

[ticketmaster]

That's true.

Or perhaps individuals who did not wish to rely on "gods". No one likes to use that word for Legends.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Bet they wouldn't've minded replacing them, though.

[ticketmaster]

[The train begins to move.]

I'd say that's a fair assessment. They wanted to take the powers of the Legends and give them to people. The Storytellers and them never got along for that reason.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Sparrow keeps his balance easily without needing any of the straps or poles, wandering up and down the car. also peering out the windows in case they pass any stations that weren't on the map.]

And the Storytellers thought the Legends were sacred and all that shit?

[ticketmaster]

[As you pass the windows, all you can see are horrified faces, blurs so you cannot see exactly what is passing by, but there's enough red to help you fill in any blanks as to why they look like they're screaming.]

Yes because their stories are the greatest. I thought it was all silly, but who am I to say, I was just their Legend after all.

...do you know anything about the Awoken's Legend by chance?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

They put it to sleep or some shit, right?

[ticketmaster]

Yes. Much like the ocean in a way.

[Smiles.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

...How were the Awoken giving people Blessings? If they even fucking could.

[ticketmaster]

Well Blessings come from Legends.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

So they couldn't actually do shit. They just got to control who got Blessings instead of their Legend.

[ticketmaster]

Yes. And they pulled apart their Legend to do so.

So in a way, the Legend still gave the blessings.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Is anything of their Legend even left? Or did they use it all up?

[ticketmaster]

Unfortunately, they're all gone.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Yeah, but at least they got to stop being a Legend.

[ticketmaster]

[Smiling wide.]

That's true. But it has messed up a lot for many individuals . . .

[The train suddenly comes to a stop.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[immediately heading for the door...what are you ,,,,,>>>,,,,,]

[ticketmaster]

[once you step through the door but ticketmaster does not go with you]
