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.

...

...

...

...

Hmmmm? Do you mean the "I hate this actually" part?

[1797]

The part about which lines aren't accessible. Maybe you just meant your lines not being straightforward, but you guys tell half the truth a lot.

[ticketmaster]

[Smiles.]

[She holds out a ticket to him labeled, "TICKETMASTER".]

There are two different lines, you cannot decide which one you end up with. You'll either end up in the "Story" line or the "Human" line. So it's accessible but you don't get to choose.

Then the library, you cannot reach with my tickets alone and I do not know how to get there besides "it is here somewhere in these tunnels". However, that is also where you will want to go.

[rolls his eyes, but not without a little amusement]

[1797]

[takes the ticket]

So I'm gambling on which line I start with and if I'll go somewhere that can even get me to the so-called end?

[ticketmaster]

That's what happens when you deal with me~~~

[But she'll hold up other tickets, some labeled, PAIN, LOVE, REGRETS, GOAL, ETC]

Unless you really want another one~~~

[1797]

[help not the multi route temptation]


No way is "goal" as straightforward as it sounds.

[ticketmaster]

[which character are you going to roman-]

Each path is a part of the Showmaster's psyche and memories. It might not be straightforward, but the answers are there somewhere.

[1797]

[what if he chooses all of them—]

Which line would you pick?

[ticketmaster]

...I would spin a wheel to decide.

[1797]

Do you ever make choices that don't involve spinning a wheel?

[ticketmaster]

I used to. A long time ago.

[1797]

Why'd you stop?

[ticketmaster]

Once you become a Legend, there are rules you must follow.

I am a Storyteller that believes in fate so all choices I make are to showcase that any choice I make, it will all end up to the same Ending.

[1797]

Well, that's bullshit.

Have any of you even wanted to be a Legend? Because everything has sounded like the opposite.

[ticketmaster]

No. I don't think any of you wanted it either.

I will say it without any ambiguity, that is the part that contains much of the "I hate this actually" vibe.

That is why I wish to burn my story, to finally end all concept of "Legends".

1/2

[1797]

[head tilts]

I think...I just want to go home.

[1797]

Has anyone burned their story before or do you not know what will happen?

[ticketmaster]

I don't know what will happen. However, I do know that just "forgetting" a story won't do much. After all, the forgotten stories have already been dragged back to the surface once more.

[1797]

So... Whatever the consequences?

[ticketmaster]

Whatever the consequence. I don't mind it. I'm selfish that way.

[1797]

[just looks at her for a moment before he gets on the train]

[ticketmaster]

I hope you reach where you need to go.

[and so you go through]
