nightmares

[ When you enter the dream, you're engulfed by darkness until you hear a deep and unfamiliar voice. It speaks in a language you are most comfortable with. ]

The contract has been sealed...

You have agreed to provide the Trickster support
in his journey to oppose fate and seek change.

CASINO
It's filled with a variety of gamblers from talking fish to actual people. Shadows are also gambling? But they're aggressive due to their mass losses. There are several elevators and it seems like the treasure is on the VIP level.

If you choose to enter the CASINO, you may appear outside of the structure or on the first floor in costume and mask. Akira will accompany you in his Joker outfit.

VELVET ROOM
Are you a prisoner? Or a keeper? You can stand behind the bars with Akira, withstand the abuse and rebel alongside him, or on the opposite side—ushered by two wardens and a man with an elongated nose to carry out discipline. Rehabilitation is important.

If you choose to enter the VELVET ROOM, you may appear inside or outside the cell. Your attire will change into prisoner wear or officer uniform respectively.

MEMENTOS (SPOILER)
In the city of Recolle, you notice there's something strange. People walk past the blood red rain and the towering skeleton pieces. The irrelevant become forgotten. The forgotten vanish. Is it your hand that's disappearing? Or is it Akira's?

If you choose MEMENTOS, you'll be in your normal attire or in your underwear. Whichever your character feels less attractive in if you want. Once again, Akira is beside you.

fog

[ Akira has been having a hard time with his nightmares. Some of them he remembers bits and pieces (all useless), but he's thinking a jog in the ungodly time where the thick fog rolls in is a good idea? Unfortunately not... He ends up running away from one of these three tormentors in his pajamas. What's with his luck?

As he looks behind him, he crashes into someone. Sorry. ]

TWIN WARDENS (SPOILER)
Their names are unknown to you, but they're two girls with silver hair with a single golden eye (an eyepatch covers the other). As attendants of the Velvet Room, they have this ethereal aura to them, even menacing as they shoot various skills into the fog.

"Come back here, inmate! You can't hide forever!"

"You're only delaying the inevitable."

IMPERIOUS ANGEL (SPOILER)
An angel appears with an abstract body shape. Wings scaling wide and halo spinning over its head, it spreads its several hands that hold instruments. With the rise of the triangle, the angel rings it with a clear ding. In a matter of seconds, a flash of light magic strikes near.

"I am what humanity desires. Why oppose me?"

You can hear the sneer in its voice.

GOLD PIGGER
This silver piggy bank may seem cute, but it's also massively large and rolls without end. What does stop it from rolling are valuable items. Throw something expensive and it'll take a break to appraise it with a series of oinks. The one in control is a half-fly guy throwing out some mad rhymes.

"Yo yo yo! You think you can just walk into my neighborhood and disrespect me like that, dawg?"

Comments

[cattack]

[She gives it her best. There's endless waves, but she's fighting as hard as she can, carving through wave after wave... But maybe the her from her visions could have handled this, she herself cannot.

She grimaces, fighting as hard as she can... Until the scene changes.]

What- What was that?! Where are we now?

[maskreant]

We're in reality... We just failed the heist.

[ Cleo!!! Waves don't end in dreams, especially nightmares. Akira fiddles with his bangs as he chuckles a little nervously. What are they going to do? They can't enter the Palace until the next day now.

He guesses that's fine. ]

We can try again another time?

[ This is definitely still a dream, though... The way Recolle looks is a little strange with fish flying and pets as large bugs. ]

[cattack]

[SHE REMEMBERS THE LARGE BUGS.... and fish is causing uncomfortable memories of her own visions.]

What do you mean, we failed? I still don't understand.

[maskreant]

We were on a heist to change the person's heart.

[ He's not sure how else he should explain it. It entails a lot, so he's scratching the back of his head. ]

If we fail, something bad happens I think... Like our futures are taken away.

[ As if showcasing that, their surroundings start disappearing one small section at a time. ]

[cattack]

[Oh.

Now she bristles, watching the disappearing.]

Then let us return. I won't fail again.

[maskreant]

Yeah, I don't see why we can't give it another try—[ But as Akira takes out his phone to click on the app, his phone disappears.

Startled, he jumps back. ]

The app should be on your phone, too.

[ But Cleo is missing her hand? ]

[cattack]

[Cleo has to take a moment to stare at her hand in horror. But, well. Cleo's always been good at snap decisions. Unfortunately, that ended badly just moments before, when that snap judgement was to just go in guns blazing, but now?

She ignores the loss of her own hand, shoving the part of her that wants to scream in terror down, and using her other hand, pulls her phone out. Unlocking it, she starts looking for any apps she doesn't recognize.]

What do I do with it, quickly!
