SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (SUNDAY)(MORNING)

[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.

COLLECT YOUR TICKETS

[ticketmaster]

The Ticketmaster is standing there by the door to the subway train, holding onto tickets that seem to be meant for you. Before she hands them over, she decides she wants to speak:

"Good morning, and thank you for accepting the invitation to the Line of Memories. I am the Ticketmaster and I am here to assist you with your journey today. The story has no choice but to end here, and so you are here to find the End of the Line. What Line you'll end up with, I cannot say, but I believe you'll find what you need to.

You see, the stage is not really my cup of tea, I've never been able to perform or direct any story. All I can do is assist with the journey. As I've said before, my cup of tea is with you!

The Subway is a tunnel filled with the Showmaster's memories, all of her secrets and all of her stories can be found here. You may do whatever you like, if she didn't want someone in here, she should have known better than to have it exposed so easily ~ I'll take you wherever it is you need to go, I've even prepared some tickets for you. Please come aboard the subway and we'll be setting off soon."

[ticketmaster]

...Just so you know, I'm looking for a different end. I'm not looking to find a way for someone to "become the story".

[1797]

How many lines are there?

[ticketmaster]

Ten? But not all of them are available to access...

[1797]

Which ones are and which ones aren't?

1/2

[ticketmaster]

The Library.

There are also two others that are accessible in a sense but they are not as straightforward...

[ticketmaster]

Those two are both related to me! Hahahaha!

[1797]

Is that an "I'm vibing" kind of laugh or an "I hate this, actually" kind of laugh?

[audacity]

Because you wanna burn it, right?

[ reaching out to fist bump before taking his ticket ]

[ticketmaster]

Yes. Did I ever tell you what that meant?

[She tilts her head at the fist and then...she gives a fist bump anyway.]

[audacity]

[ hehehehe ]

Can't remember if you did. Can you tell me now?

[ticketmaster]

[Holds up a coin!]

Heads, I tell you! Tails, I won't!

[audacity]

[ huffs out a breath, fond ]

Always back to chances, huh.

[taking_pains]

What ending are you looking for, precisely?

[ticketmaster]

I would like to burn my story.

[taking_pains]

[Hums softly, considering]

Is it a physical thing that can be burned? Or do you mean metaphorically?

[ticketmaster]

Yes and yes.

[:)]

[bondsofsuffering]

...Is there anything you need from us, specifically, in all this? Or just to learn?

[ticketmaster]

If you could find the Library, that would be the goal for all of you. For myself . . . finding the Library would also help me get to MY end.

[bondsofsuffering]

The library with all our stories?

[ticketmaster]

Yes.

[allomantic]

Okay.

[holding out a hand for the ticket]

Anything else I should know?

[ticketmaster]

You will want to go to the Library if you can find it, but if you do not, that is fine.

[She holds out the PAIN ticket.]

If you do not want this ticket, let me know.

[allomantic]

[takes the tickets and gives a little nod]

Sure. Is there a way to the Library directly from the Lab?

[ticketmaster]

I don't think there's a direct way there, but there's things you can do in the lab. If you wish to know about the Awoken, they are there.

You could always try the Subway itself.
