cyclists | CYOA - WEEK THREE

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.

...are you two all right?

[this asshole looks fine, he's just here with a 'baseball', but the blood is concerning??]

Yeah, what happened?

[Yikes!!]

Just some issues with shrapnel. We're fine.

Mm. Lucifer exploded.

[ anyway ]

We need to wake up this boy somehow. Jeanne suggested kissing.

[shess and naminé still: who the heck was lucifer anyway.

also, shess takes no responsibility for this suggestion.]

...well. I'm glad to see you two survived.

[what is a lucifer]

Someone you met, I take it?

[ meanwhile kara's casually climbed out of the robot like he didn't just almost die like three times and walks by, heading for the platform, but he slows at that. ]

...Kissing?

[ do namine and jeanne have a crush on this boy ]

Mmhm! We can give it a try.

[ she sees nothing wrong with this logic ]

It's a starting point, at least-- particularly if it was suggested by someone you found here.

[but also it's not going to be him.]

She says that she usually revives people from the dead by kissing, so it could work.

She does what?

She says it's part of her power, but the people from this world apparently can't wake him up, so we have to.

Sorry, what?

That... wakes people up?

[ lili didn't mention that? and he was awake every time milla kissed him... ]

Yup!

[ please don't get this advice from her ]

[ something about this doesn't sound right but as we know, kara is an impressionable young sword. ]

I guess it's worth trying.

[ he's not doing it though. ]
