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?"

[ THROW ME WHATEVER! Baby haunts from the new ghosts or even the Retrospec Maze! Even anything normal. ]

Comments

[parodeity]

[ clearly that is the secret of this dream. DEEP DOWN, AKIRA IS IN LOVE WITH DAVE STRIDER, alternately his coworker is like, a time traveler or something. ]

What the fuck was that?

[ - IS THE FIRST THING TO COME TO MIND, IF THE DREAM DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY END ]

[maskreant]

[ You know Akira will just consider both. He must be in love with Dave who is a time traveler. Why settle for anything else? You can have a man from any stage of his life—except let's not go there.

As the coliseum deteriorates into nothing, much like the skeletons and the dark red skies, there's finally normal rain to wash everything else away. People start... Returning. ]

It's the Holy Grail... Though it claims to be a god from my memories. [ It must be difficult to handle, but he guesses Dave will roll with it. The dude just called upon his many selves, after all. ] Congratulations, you've acquired the title "God Slayer."

[ And in a pop up menu, it literally says DAVE STRIDER has acquired title GOD SLAYER. ]

[parodeity]

I prefer the title "Revenge of Ricky Schrodinger". [ no he doesn't. but he just kind of nods, glancing around. ]

...Well, that's chill, anyway. Does this mean everyone who was disappearing is back now?

[maskreant]

... All right, you can have that.

[ Dave now has that exact title equipped without his consent. That's what you said you preferred? ]

It should, but I guess we'll have to see.

[ Though as they try to exit the arena, the area starts going white. The nightmare is ending... But before it does, it'll start raining actual cats and dogs. ]

[parodeity]

- What the fuck?

[ cats and dogs. ]

Jesus. None of this is real - [ but that's about all he'll say before he fades out. ]
