Teenagers Scare the Living Shit Out Of Me etc. etc.

[Characters passing by the bulletin board may notice a new message tacked to it!]

Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!

[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!

All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN]

[ yeah what was he expecting, ]

I actually sought that man's damned approval before he tried to kill me.

[ wow, even left cryptic enough that people are going to have to work to figure out who and what's being talked about he still hates actually saying this. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

...Who?

[fellheart]

Forneus.

[ wow look at his smile, isn't this great ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[...?]

But isn't that...

[...











Oh, fuck.]

[fellheart]

[ yeah, so









funny thing about being a lab experiment, huh ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[Yeah......... real funny,,,,,,,]

...

I meant what I said, you know.

[fellheart]

I'm sure you did. I've no doubt in your sincerity.

But there is a reason I centered the story around Forneus, and through the viewpoint of a long forgotten legend, a dusty historical account, you realize.

[dyingtohealyou]

Because he's an asshole and that's how he should be remembered?

[He maybe might have not intended to actually take things this far with this particular grandpa.]

[fellheart]

Correct. When given the option to either let him stay forgotten and lost to history as he probably deserves, and speaking his name only to drag it through the mud, I know which one I'd rather choose.

[ .

huh, has he had more wine than he thought? anyway embrace spite, get fucked asshole ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[Get fucked asshole!!]

And you still tried for him... man. I already thought he was shitty. He deserved every bit of what was coming to him.

[fellheart]

Well. It's hardly like I knew better at the time.

[ you are now imagining a puppy sized dragon

you are now imagining a bigger dragon biting an asshole's face off ]

[dyingtohealyou]

I guess when you're the subject of that kind of thing, either you learn or you die before you can.

[fellheart]

One way or another, things will come to a head, won't they ...

[ swirls his drink in his glass a little. ]

Now, I can't say I've played this for a while— but I believe this does make it your turn to choose something, yes?

[dyingtohealyou]

In that case, truth. Just to be fair.

[fellheart]

Hmmm. What's something you'll actually miss from here, when it comes time for us to leave?

If we want to specify another restriction: you can't mention any friends you might or might not have made here.

[ this one's a bit of a softball, but. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[Oh. That's pretty easy, actually.]

...Magic that doesn't come at a price. Or at least, not as harsh as my world.

[fellheart]

Yours truly was not a generous world to those who lived within it, was it?

I am aware of schools of magic in the past where one paid for their spellcraft via their own quintessence, but ... recovery from that, provided they don't overexert themselves, is just a matter of rest or having someone else heal them.

[ that doesn't seem to be the case in ahito's. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

Compared to all the other worlds here? Not even a little.

Memories, sound, dreams - even your life or soul could be the price for each spell you cast, and no one gets to pick what it turns out to be.

Imagine my surprise, showing up here and finding out that's not the case in this world or any other.

[fellheart]

What an oddly weighted exchange. In most worlds, it does seem exchange of some sort still tends to be the basis of anything resembling magic, but the price for yours seems strikingly steep compared to some of the others represented.

You may take another truth, if you like.

[dyingtohealyou]

Give me five people or things you enjoy about this place.

[fellheart]

Five?

[ uggghhhhhhh does he really have to ]

[dyingtohealyou]

Five.
