The Memorable
GM12/16/2017
Good morning.
It's Day 3, bright and early.
After dragging your sorry selves out of bed, and maybe eating, you stand with the other members of Halation's Court around Cinderella's long table of glass. In fact, much of her house is glass or something made with fireproof material.
Anyway.
Cinderella herself stands at one end of the table. Her newly hired butler and Early Rockenhurst stand on either side of her.
Splayed out across this table is a large map that's only a samping of this labyrinth's level. This map already indicates the relativity between Brazen, Blazin' Fortress and little ol' Halation:
Yikes.
However, Cinderella grabs a marker with her special oven mitt and draws a line like this:
Cinderella then taps on the table with the marker, her butler translating.
"My lady says that it is not actually that far away. In actuality, you are two labyrinths away. It will be tricky, but she boasts her ability as a Sorcerer and states that she should be able to materialize you from here to there. It's a type of Summoning magic, she explains in terms I don't understand fully."
Cinderella THUMPS the butler on the head with her marker. Then, she looks to all of you. Any questions?
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
Slot has been slightly twitchy since he woke up, the interrogation with Crimson hardly helping matters in the slightest. His leg has been fidgeting the entire time they've been sitting at the table and he's been unusually quiet, focusing on the table and not on anyone else. Not even Bottle was enough to get Slot to focus on him for more than customary glance and greeting.
Yet, he does perk up at the mention of Summoning magic. That's something to focus on. "No minor fall, just a Major Shift?"
GM12/16/2017
Cinderella can't grin. She has no facial features, save for the coals of her eyes.
Yet, you get the sense she's grinning with the excitement of a child who just won a prize. The butler is a little thrown off when he translates her morse code this time.
"M-my lady says that this is far more than a Major Shift. She, a powerful Sorcerer, is known to be one of the very few capable of what she calls a Tremendous Shift. It is the ability to transfer people from one room in a labyrinth, to a completely different labyrinth very far away, exactly where she wants them."
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
This does get Slot's attention even more. He's been alive for quite some time and he's heard tale of this sort of magic before. He figured it was just some sort of story, something for other Summoners to talk about as some sort of unachievable goal to reach for. But to not only hear about it, but to meet someone who can even do it? That's enough to bring Slot out of his funk, if only for a moment.
"A Tremendous Shift? I... didn't even think that that was possible. But you can do it? Just like that?" He's not even disbelieving her. He's actually quite excited, with his tail wagging quickly behind him.
GM12/16/2017
She's soaking this attention up. Cinderella sure isn't going to shy away from boasting her power, she didn't spend her life training and practicing to act humble about it.
"My lady says, 'Quite easily. In fact, I have all of the materials necessary to make it so. For that reason, if you have anything you need to do before you leave, you should go ahead and get it done.'"
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
"Could... I watch you prepare it?"
GM12/16/2017
Cinderella props her hands on her hips, proud and mighty! If she had a grin, it'd be the widest!
"My lady has not said anything, but she does not seem opposed in the least!"
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
"Awesome!" He's super excited by the prospect. Then, Slot pauses to consider something, and then holds a hand up as a sign to wait, then he scurries off to where he stowed away Crimson. He returns quickly enough, dragging Crimson into the room through some sort of makeshift leash.
"Do you have any problems, by the way, if I take this captive back with me?" Slot asks, looking at both Cinderella and his party for approval.
Also, it should be noted for everyone that Crimson's face is probably bruised from where Slot smashed it into the ground.
GM12/16/2017
Crimson's making a wrinkled face, which is further enhanced by the beautiful bruises. Yeah, that's the word for it.
Cinderella crosses her arms idly and stares. The butler stares, too.
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
Slot's grin from earlier is back on his face. The one that's just plastered on and makes it look like everything is Fine. This is Fine. Nothing is on fire.
Climate Change12/16/2017
Clima doesn't look sleepy today in the least, but he is still as quiet. He looks over to Crimson, then stares at Slot with bright yellow eyes.
He tilts his head. "Did you make a friend?"
Dusk the Best12/16/2017
Dusk had come down earlier PRETTY SOMBER with eyes looking a little sharper than normal. She's just sitting there, half vibrating out of her seat. She keeps looking at the door and then back at the map and then at the door and at the map. Her hands are also fiddling with the hem of her dress, picking at any loose strings that are there. Viiiiiiiiibratinggggggg.
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
"Friend?" Slot makes a thoughtful noise, tilting his head and then looking down at Crimson.
"Of sorts." Slot tugs at the leash again, making Crimson slightly lose his balance. :smiley:
Climate Change12/16/2017
Clima looks to Crimson again; he hops up to walk closer, leaaaaaning in without changing his expression.
GM12/16/2017
Crimson swears when you do that, Slot, why the heck do you gotta be like this! He especially glares at you, Clima, with bright red eyes. If looks could kill...
Early's been pretty quiet, watching this all with a slightly distant look. He does look a spot confused when he sees Dusk glancing back and forth like that.
"Dusk, did you, um, have somewhere you need to be?"
Climate Change12/16/2017
Then, there's a rare smile, reserved only for Crimson and maybe Slot if he looks at a certain angle, but otherwise he's hunched over so no one else can see. It's a wide, wide smile.
"Let's be friends, too."
Dusk the Best12/16/2017
Ttttttttturns her head to Early slowly, eyes still wide. "Home?"
GM12/16/2017
Crimson... is a little unsure, Clima, you make him feel a little uncomfortable. Purely in the fact that this person, who reminds him of a small child, is acting... trusting? No, that's not it. He couldn't be...
Cinderella turns to you, Dusk, and taps on the table before Early can say anything.
"My lady explains that you will not need to walk through the door. She will simply materialize you into your kingdom." A pause. "By the way, my lady asks if there is anywhere in the kingdom you wish to be materialized into. A certain room, or area, you think?"
Climate Change12/16/2017
:)
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
: )
"The more the merrier."
Dusk the Best12/16/2017
"..." Oh. "Good morning, friend."
GM12/16/2017
Crimson grimaces.
Cinderella.
Taps.
On the table.
Again.
Climate Change12/16/2017
Clima leans back abruptly, smile dropping from his face as he looks over to Cinderella and Dusk.
"Why not the front? We can say hi to everyone while we're coming back."
Dusk the Best12/16/2017
Dusk taps back, politely. '-' She doesn't know what she said. "Ummmmm, that is fine, right?" Heaaaaaad tilt? "I wonder where Domino will be...."
GM12/16/2017
Cinderella isn't one for patience. Still, she's received the answer she wanted.
"My lady says, 'Then, if you have any last minute objectives—'"
Just then, Bottle bursts through the door! Did you know, he wasn't there? He's pushing through a dolly topped with boxes.
"Hey, howdy! Guess who put in a favor with some old buds and found your guys's stuff!"
That's right.
He's pushing in boxes of the things you lost when you were imprisoned.
Dusk the Best12/16/2017
'O'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Oh . . . ! I forgot about those!"
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
Slot quickly thrusts Crimson's leash into Clima's hands and then just runs at Bottle. If I leap at him, he will surely catch me in his arms!!
GM12/16/2017
"SLOT, NO, I'M PUSHING BOXES—"
He shoves the dolly away just in time to catch him. :confounded: :sweat_drops:
And amazingly the dolly of boxes doesn't topple over.
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
"You're the greatest, you know that?" Slot smiles at him.
Climate Change12/16/2017
Grabbing the leash!
We're friends now. :)
GM12/16/2017
CRIMSON BITES HIS LIP, THIS IS WORSE??
Bottle laughs. "Love ya, too. Got some cages outside with pets, wanted to keep them in the fresh air. If you guys have this stuff you'll be good to go, right?"
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
Sorry not sorry Crimson. THis is your life now.
"Yeah, I'm good to go."
Climate Change12/16/2017
Very sharply, he pulls the leash tighter. After all, he has a short reach! He's small, he couldn't hold onto Crimson unless he had a very,
very,
very,
VERY,
strong grip!
Dusk the Best12/16/2017
"...there were important gifts in there so... I think everyone here are grateful." Dusk bows her head in thanks.
GM12/16/2017
Crimson wants to dig a hole and put himself in it.
Bottle rubs the back of his head, embarrassed by your kind thanks, Dusk.
"Think nothing of it. Thanks to you guys I have a new home, so this is nothing."
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
My boyfriend is the cutest, Slot thinks to himself as he hugs him again.
Climate Change12/16/2017
Slot this is gross. Please behave in front of your new dog?
Dusk the Best12/16/2017
Dusk looks over at Crimson like. Wow. I just noticed you here.
Who is this guy.
GM12/16/2017
Another set of rapid tapping on the table, from yours truly aka Cinderella.
"My lady asks for any final parting words before she sends you to Halation, if that is alright!"
Early remains close to Cinderella, or as close as he can be without catching on fire, along with the butler.
It'll be the Halation Court, Bottle, and your new pet, Crimson, getting warped back.
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
Slot coughs and lets himself down from Bottle, but he still stays close to him. '-'
Dusk the Best12/16/2017
Dusk suddenly turns to them and declares. "Thanks for being very helpful and great, you can come visit too, anytime you want! Also!" TURNS STRAIGHT TO THE BUTLER. "We can be friends too if you want!" And then to Early, "Thanks for being very brave and helpful! I hope you get a very nice lovely girlfriend or boyfriend or several if you want. You're also welcome to come to Halation anytime! After we take care of Stuff"
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
Slot throws a wink at Early, "Remember everything we taught you when it comes to wooing."
GM12/16/2017
The butler and Cinderella smile and nod (well, Cinderella can't smile, but you get the point, she's as pleased as punch.)
Early's face flushes. gUYS, PLESAE??
"I, I don't even know what you're talking about..! Anyway, I have just one thing I want to say—!"
Cinderella holds out her hands that now glow with an awesome power. This awesome power doesn't seek to destroy anyone. Rather, a large rune is now glowing on the floor of the room, even under the table. Early is pulled back the by butler.
Cinderella doesn't chant anything. She instead taps a steady beat with the toes of her glass slippers, and the heat of the rune taking up the floor rises.
Slut the Rumored12/16/2017
Oh, that get Slot to slide away from Bottle momentarily. He gets as close as he can, looking at what Cinderella is doing.
Impulsively he shouts out, "Can I come to you for training later?"
GM12/16/2017
Cinderella offers you a nod.
The heat rises, giving you the sensation of standing too close to an open oven. It's getting brighter,
and brighter,
and brighter.
Just in the distance (is it the distance? No, you're still standing in the dining room,) you see Early waving. He's but a bleak silhouette. His voice sounds like it's miles away.
"When we clean this up, and if I become Ruler, I promise to be allies! And, Dusk! If you dislike your title so much... why don't you go as Dusk the Memorable! For I don't think I'll for..."
His voice fades out. You feel your body fizzling, much like how it had when the cultists used the angels trumpet to warp you out of your own kingdom, but it's a bit different than that. This time it burns a little...
The brightness blinds you. All you can see is pure white.
Good morning.
