CYOA - WEEK THREE

[cyclists]

WAKE THE GREAT SPIRIT

Without warning, sometime in the middle of the day of your Tuesday, you'll find yourself beckoned to the gateway. The cave that sits at the edge of the city beckons you, drawing you closer and closer until you find yourself entering it. The darkness envelops you and you know nothing but that you must walk one step in front of the other, one step in front of the other, one step -

Until you blink and there is suddenly stone beneath your feet, ruins in front of your eyes.



Thankfully, you aren't alone. There are five others with you as light filters from above, as though you're on the very floor of the ocean. Schools of fish might swim overhead, implying that you may be underwater but you don't feel the heaviness of the pressure at all.

A small cacophony of noises will arise as six floating orbs rest in the distance, flickering with light. There seems to be chatter there, but it'll take some adventuring closer in order to determine exactly what they might be.

Though the longer you wait, you may feel a rumble beneath your feet, like an earthquake.

And then the curious whirring of... mechanical gears?

... In truth, you might not want to linger here that long.



In this CYOA, characters have been set on a path in order to fight the corruption that lingers within the ruins of the lost continent of Mu. They'll be guided along as they get through the plants that have been corrupted along with a few former inhabitants of the gateway that is within. They'll be separated before congregating to face one final challenge together, and then hopefully be unceremoniously dumped back in the mingle after disappearing. They should ICly be gone for approximately six hours beginning on the afternoon of Tuesday.

SPIRIT GUARDIANS

[cyclists]

[Walking further along the path will bring you to a set of six different figures - each of them oddly shaped and looking a bit distressed.

A bandit. A jaguar. A koropokkur. A warlord. A fairy.

A samurai, who is apparently the only one who is capable of speech at the moment as they all turn to you - ]

Are you the warriors that have been sent to aid us? Come - we're running out of time. We must head toward the Great Spirit's chambers in order to wake Yoh-dono. One of us will accompany each of you in order to bring you further inside.

[Each character will be required to pick one spirit each!]

[whitewalls]

[ she's just fuckin

staring at the beef ]

... hello...

[cyclists]

[The Beef looks over at Naminé before giving a single nod of his head. in a flash of light he disappears and his spirit appears to change forms into a a halberd for Naminé to take.

it'd be incredibly heavy for anyone else.

however it's not hard for her to wield at all.]

[foodbin]

[Looking over at one of them in particular—]

...It's kind of cute.

[Even if she has no idea what's going on.]

[cyclists]

[Kororo thinks you're cute too, Emma! she makes a chirping noise, offering up a smile, before she also disappears in a flash of light and appears in a different form

a snowboard.

eli being canonblind probably makes this funnier]

[unfriendliest]

[ predictably, kara is eyeing the samurai as if wondering what era he's from. he has two swords like masamune. whomst. ]

[cyclists]

[actually he's sengoku era which is funny - but the samurai will just return the same appraising gaze to ookurikara, as if evaluating exactly the person that he's encountering. and then he nods his approval once - ]

I believe we can come to an understanding.

[and he'll adjust his appearance into being that of a smaller ball as a red stone manifests in ookurikara's hand.]

I'll remain in this form for the time being if you have questions - but if trouble arises, place my spirit in the stone.

[and then we'll see what happens, it'll be great]

[nonbelligerent]

[wrong animal family unless shess becomes one with his cat side but give him the jaguar, why not.]

[cyclists]

[the jaguar will paw up to shess before giving his hand an encouraging nudge! and then he'll similarly disappear as his form changes and

shess is now wearing an upgraded cat hat on top of his cat hat

watch the claws!]

[wildc4rd]

[I'm technically last because Teej is working but.

Give him the bandit.]

[cyclists]

[even tokageroh didn't want this, given the look he spares hisoka as he's approached but - it's alright, he'll switch forms anyway and that's how hisoka gets

one bigass sashimi knife]

[wagashis]

[wheezes in here hi

something small and winged might be good for scouting a strange place, right? so shirasu gives the fairy an appraising look before offering a hand out, palm up.]

Shall we? If you're not opposed.

[cyclists]

[well it's not like he's wrong. the fairy will tilt her head at shirasu before dancing into his palm, giving a polite little curtsy, before disappearing into light and appear again in the form of

a pendulum on a wire.

yayyyy he's equipped]
