Who: You, you, and you!
When: Day 1, evening
Where: Outside of town, a ways over there
What: A labyrinth in the form of a social bingo!

[later that day you hear that obnoxious horn sound, the one that would be sounded when they discovered a labyrinth. you follow this sound past the town and wind up at a set of stairs leading into the the ground. by these stairs is a sign reading HEAD ON IN. though you might normally be inclined to dilly dally, you're inexplicably drawn to walk down those stairs...]



[the stairs leading down to this "labyrinth" are absolutely grandeur. when you reach the foot of the steps, you become dressed to the nines in some kind of formal wear, like what you'd wear to a fancy ball... which would explain the room before you: you've stepped into a large ballroom. ballad music plays, tables line the wall, and is that a complimentary buffet table next to the wet bar? on the far back wall of this space are a pair of double doors, settled underneath an inaccessible balcony.]

My, my, my, my, m~y!

[a voice rings out from above—and an indistinguishable figure appears on that balcony, looking down at you with a hungry grin; their low voice is upbeat, but oddly smooth]

I've never had guests before! Oh, but you weren't invited... Tsk, tsk! Why, a bunch like you look like you could cause me problems... How troublesome! Oh, troublesome indeed! Still, unlike that royal kindergartener, I am actually kind enough to throw you a party! She didn't do that for you, now, did she? Hahahaha!

[they're still laughing when a bingo card materializes in your hand. between their laughter and constant chatter, they don't seem to be giving you much room to say anything. when their laughter stops, they speak again, their voice taking on a grisly tone]

If I'm going down, I want entertainment, you hear me? And there's only one way I want to go... Do you know BINGO? Must I spell it? Remind you that it's his NAME-O? Ha! You must do what you can to complete a row, or two rows, or the WHOLE CARD! If you do well, you'll earn more than just my dear palace's erasure...!

[they laugh, their laughter growing louder by the second, resonating through the spacious room—then it abruptly stops. just as quickly as that "person" appeared, they disappear, leaving behind nothing but a cloud of black smoke that quickly dissipates into thin air]

I'm watch~ing!

[With a nod, she wheels out of the way so she can talk without inconveniencing other.]

I live on the island of Shikoku, and I attend Sanshu Middle school. I'm a member of the Hero Club, along with my friends; our job is basically to assist anyone who needs it. From finding homes for lost kittens, to holding a puppet show for the kindergartners, we do pretty much anything people request of us.

Coming here to aid the queen must seem like an extension of that.

Somewhat, yes... but that's not all we do.

[Serious Togo is serious.]

We are all, literally, heroes. We fight monsters called the Vertex, who try to destroy the Shinju, the Divine Tree that protects humanity.

[A little taken aback] Will they need you while you're here?
botamessiah: (In full bloom)

[personal profile] botamessiah 2015-08-17 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so. I wouldn't have come here if it weren't for the wish...

[She looked down some.]

There's a special, powerful form we can access once we defeat enough enemies; it's called Blooming. When we use it, no Vertex can survive, but it comes with a price... a sacrifice to Shinju. We lose parts of ourselves: my friend Yu lost her sight in one eye; her sister, Itsuki, lost her voice; my best friend, Yuna, lost her sense of taste; and myself, I lost my hearing in my left ear. That's why I came here, to both help, and have my wish granted.

[That is... a lot of technical terms, and now he has more questions than anything, but it makes sense: to lose something to gain something else, to trade pieces of yourself for the power you need. Instead of prying further and possibly walking in to another's tragedy,] I think most of us are here for those reasons. [ he'll leave it to her if she wants to explain more.]
