Birthday Room
Juno the Natural10/07/2017
Birthday. Room. Birthday. Room. Juno has been waiting for this!!!!!!
Climate Change10/07/2017
Clima is looking around first, before the birthday room or maybe during the birthday room he might have just fucked off, but. Listen there is an important thing that important thing is that there are followers who dared to think that Dusk wasn't good enough to follow anymore and he needs to find them.
Convince them.
He just wants to talk.
Dusk the Best10/07/2017
Dusk wants a nap, someone carry her.
GM10/07/2017
maybe if like half ur followers didn't leave u--
Birthday room will be much more easier to access now since the labyrinth has been defeated. Overtaken. Conquered. You continue on your way to this "birthday room!"
In the meanwhile, this means crossing through the city—a perfect opportunity for Clima to seek out those followers who felt so doubtful and unsure of Dusk in their mind to simply abandon her. It's likely they're still around, since it's not like they'd return home to the kingdom, so they probably scattered or regrouped somewhere...
Clima, please perform a Quest + 2D6 roll equal to, or over, 11 to determine the success of LOCATING these FOLLOWERS.
Climate Change10/07/2017
It takes a few tries, but he's doing his best to search with an ACTUAL ROLL OF 13, THANK YOU,
GM10/07/2017
You did it. You found these fucks loitering by a dumpster in an alley. They were talking about something or other, and as soon as they spot you... they clam up.
"Uh... it's the servant, is that right?"
"Sir Clima?"
They look uneasy. They know you care for Dusk! But surely this isn't about Dusk. Surely.
Climate Change10/07/2017
He breathes a little heavy, having spent a bit more energy than he would have liked to in order to find them. His expression doesn't change, but he looks to them with golden eyes.
"You guys... why did you leave?"
GM10/07/2017
The seven of them scan one another, gauging each other's expressions, before addressing Clima with nods.
"We left because... well, what if we've had the wool pulled over our eyes?"
The others hesitate. Then, with confidence, the complaints build up.
"—what he means is, she's always so charismatic, and compelling. She always convinces people to befriend her! But, back there, with that guard... what was that total flop?"
"That failure reminded us that we're following someone descended from the lord of disaster."
"That's right. She might not be as charming or kind as we thought."
"It's probably just acting."
Climate Change10/07/2017
He takes in their words, nodding for a moment.
"Have you ever made a mistake? When you do something you're normally good at, and then somehow you manage to turn it upside down and mess up? Do you ever have bad days?"
GM10/07/2017
You're met with silence. Not a single one can deny they've made mistakes or had bad days.
Still, they remain firm in their stance... rather, despite the nervously pursed lips, and the darting eyes, their feet remain firmly in place.
"S... so? Can you give us a good reason to follow her again?"
Alongside your response, whatever it might be, please give me a Charm + 2D6 roll! As long as you roll over 7, you'll convince somone to come back. If you roll an 8, you'll convince 1 person. If you roll 9, you convince 2, and so forth.
In the meanwhile! If @Juno the Natural (and anyone else tagging along) proceeds forward, they'll find themselves on a street that leads towards, as indicated on the map, the "birthday room!"
And, well...
WELL.
You're falling through the sky now!
A sky?
This room leads to A sky?
That's right. And...
[balloon pic]
You're surrounded by balloons.
As you descend, you also notice that there are gifts attached to the bottoms of these balloons, and, if you're crafty enough, you can grab onto some.
That is, just roll me a Quest + 2D6 over/equal 9 to determine if you hit a balloon... or manage to grab one, if you try. Landing safely might depend on how well you can grab a balloon.
Juno the Natural10/07/2017
Naturally, Juno tries to grab a balloon!!! And... fails.
GM10/07/2017
Ah.
Just like that, it slips out of reach. You're falling, and you can't see the end in si—no, now hold on.
[birthday cake]
You land in a giant cake. And take no damage. Amazingly.
You're covered in cake though...
Juno the Natural10/07/2017
That isn't a problem for Juno. They just lick the cake bits off. Best. Room. Ever!!!!
GM10/07/2017
With some empty gift boxes and wrapping laying off to the side, you could even pack some of this cake to take home. It has healing properties! It'd totally heal you 5 hp a slice!
...small slice! Normal people slice!
Juno the Natural10/07/2017
That sounds like a plan! Everyone should enjoy this cake! Oh!! Maybe their new friends would like some too, as a gift!!
Juno nods to themselves. They're full of such great ideas.
Climate Change10/08/2017
" . . . Fools."
Clima sucks in a breath, before speaking loudly, eyes sparkling.
"Isn't she cute, even in her mistakes!? Isn't it obvious she's not faking it because she's making mistakes even when she's trying her best!? If she was just pretending, she would surely not have made a mistake with that guard-- if she could have controlled it so that she could act perfectly, then she would have swayed that guard to her side! And, in the first place, how was that unappealing to you!!
Dusk is charming, she's beautiful and magnanimous-- but beyond that, even in her mistakes, no, especially in her mistakes, especially when she fails, :regional_indicator_t: :regional_indicator_h: :regional_indicator_a: :regional_indicator_t: :regional_indicator_s: :regional_indicator_w: :regional_indicator_h: :regional_indicator_e: :regional_indicator_n: :regional_indicator_s: :regional_indicator_h: :regional_indicator_e: :regional_indicator_i: :regional_indicator_s: :regional_indicator_a: :regional_indicator_t: :regional_indicator_h: :regional_indicator_e: :regional_indicator_r: :regional_indicator_c: :regional_indicator_u: :regional_indicator_t: :regional_indicator_e: :regional_indicator_s: :regional_indicator_t:
GM10/08/2017
The followers stare in shock. They'd never seen Clima act so passionately... 4 of the followers run off in the opposite direction, clamoring about a sight they've NEVER SEEN BEFORE!
But 3 of the followers remain, absorbing the words. They instantaneously start crying, speaking between the sobs that wrack their bodies.
"You're... you're right! You're right!"
"Dusk is so cute!"
"And now, we made the mistake... but we want to serve Dusk again!"
And simulataneously, all at once, they shout:
"We love our princess!"
Dropping to their knees, bowing, they beg for forgiveness. Please forgive us!!
...
In the end, the lot of you embark on your return to your kingdom, your new friends in tow... well, new friends minus the two cloaked followers that the twins from before left behind. Now, where did they go? While weaving through the labyrinth you just explored, and the forest you explored previously, there isn't sight or sound of them.
