"So, what, we just finish whatever this drat adventure is and that's it? We go home, we're all back to normal and just...go on with our lives? How do we know you're not lying? You've got a bit of a credibility gap right now, Will."

Sofia holds the bridge of her nose, trying not to do anything rash. Deep breath. Deep breath. Try not to think about how he's ruining her life more effectively than any of the good ol' boys at the paper. Forcing herself to meet Will's eyes, she grates out, "You almost got us killed. For a game? gently caress you, Will. What if I don't want play your game? The world stays frozen, right? Good luck with that."

"No, they only stay frozen until we're done here..one way or another," Will says testily. "And, I don't think you guys get it. Unless I want you to go home, you don't go home." He smirks at that. "And I want to finish the game first." He is hiding something. the swords murmur to Sofia. There are... inconsistencies in what he is saying. Or not saying. Tread carefully.

Just put aside the danger here, just forget that for a second. " Will looks at them each imploringly. "We don't have to go back to that. Back to not mattering, back to... nothing. We can stay here, for awhile at least. Be heroes. Matter. And yeah," he nods towards Tony. "It might be dangerous but... I'll be perfectly honest, I'd rather die doing something, than go back home and live in that...nothing." "Him dying sooner than later might be a good thing" Jack murmurs to Riot.

It takes a bit to process. Sofia can't help but feel her initial suspicions deepen. Maybe the obvious play is the right one. Who's to say that Will will actually hold up his end of the deal? He hasn't given a single poo poo about them since the jump. First, they do one quest. Then another. Then maybe someone dies! Maybe Tony dies! Jesus. It's never going to end, is it? Sofia shakes her head, taking a step forward, and says, "I don't think so, Will. You might have a death wish or whatever, but..." She sighs. "Yeah, work sucks. I hate the grind. This place isn't that bad when it's taking a break from trying to kill us, but uh. That's the problem. It's trying to kill us. Between that and another year at the paper, I know where I'm leaning." She looks to the left, then to the right, meeting Tony and Win's eyes. If they do this... it has to be all of them, right?

"No..." he says softly. "No, no...I can't go back. I won't go back. This...this can be real, this is real." He taps the bottom of his staff on the marble floor with a solid thunk. "My queen!" At that the NPCs jerk into motion, looking slightly confused, but they all turn to Will, who is speaking in a deeper baritone than his real voice, "We have been deceived your mageisty.

Sofia's eyes narrow, her swords all but leaping into her hands. The shadowy aura surrounding them seems to sap the very light itself from the throne room. She growls, "Will, you sick son of a bitch, don't you realize how insane you're being? Wherever this is, however you got us here, these are real people. I don't want to stay, but I'm not about to stand by and let your games kill a goddamn city." Sofia gestures out towards the city, "You want us to take down an army? Fine. Fine! I'll do it right here and now. Get ready to take us home, rear end in a top hat." Keeping blades leveled his way the whole time, moving them only to ward off Eddie and Ruby should they try to block her path, Sofia makes her way to the nearest window and smashes it with the pommel of one of her blades. Looking back at the queen, her mom, Sofia's face softens a touch. She says, "I wish we had some time to chat, finally get to know each other... but at the end of the day, you're not her, are you? You're a queen in a hosed up fantasy land who just has the same face. Sorry about the window." With that, she jumps into the bedlam below. Insanity for a normal person, perhaps, but Sofia is hopped up on pure Vigilance. Every single wire that she could use to break a fall or zipline to a roof all but screams for her to use. It'll suck, but not as much as life's about to suck for that army that Will summoned. Being quite naturally at Vigilance 3 after Will's... everything, Sofia is going to ollie out a window and spend it all to perform some Creative Violence on Preladan's army. Luckily, got a 7 on the d8 so she does not take any wounds in the actual doing. Tricky fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Aug 6, 2019 |

"Khovai, what.." The queen starts. "Fear not, m'lady!" Will roars. "She is the least of our worries." His third eye flashes to life, strobing with a headache-inducing light. The weapons of Ruby Starfist, Watcher Eddward, and Lady Lisbeth glow briefly. "Defend the queen!" Will yells, scampering backwards to put the NPCs between him and the players. "Riot," Ruby grumbles, stepping forward and unsheathing what looks like a giant cleaver, "Drop your weapons, and get on your knees now." *** Kheenai is a disaster zone. The giant floating stone fortress of Preladan hovers above the city like a vulture. Sofia sees arcanic blasts of magic firing down from it into the city and wizards scampering around it. Falling from the rock are what appear to be large stone men, looking like The Thing from Fantastic Four. They pummel into the town, tearing through the spires of the city indiscriminately. In the distance, Sofia can see what looks like a large swell of water racing towards Kheenai, something massive is underwater and homing in on the city. ________________________________________ Will has Blessed the NPCs.

"WAIT! Whoa whoa whoa!" Octavia lifts her hands so they're clearly visible and tries not to look terrified (and hopes her mood-hair doesn't give her away). "Everyone calm down! We're not part of this! Yes, I'm from Predalin but I came here looking to defect!" She tries not to look at Will as she goes on; while Tony had been thinking of how to explain being a neon-punk wizard should it come up, he was also inventing wildly. God, I hope this place does make our backstories real because if this doesn't work I'm dead. "Look, yeah I'm a spellsinger but the government was pissed that I was speaking out against the Archmage getting all expansionist. He didn't like that I was a celebrity getting people riled up against them! His council wanted my help to get the citizens in line with my music, but I wouldn't play along."

"Quiet," Edward says, his rapier singing as his draws it and advances on Tony. "Silence would probably be your best bet." "He could be telling the truth," Ruby offers. "Lisbeth also defected."

Riot looks at the clear line of fire to Will. Feels the weight of her hammer resting easy in one hand. It would make things so simple. Or if she was going to try to keep her hands clean she could go for the knockout gas special. But no blood had been shed, yet. Riot raises a hand as a visor against the glare and stares out the window as Sofia goes to work against the Kheenai army. "drat. Are you sure she's on their side? Did they forget to tell her?" The weapon drops with a loud thunk, settling shaft-up. Riot takes a step away from it and slowly raises her hands above her head. "You haven't grown up at all, Will. You're still just a sad kid who'd rather hide behind a fantasy than deal with real people. And you'd kill all of us for another day as Khovai. Well gently caress that and gently caress you. He's gone. I'm taking him. From now on they'll see you for who you really are." Ring me up, Jack. Make it a doozy. Trickster - Lasting Glamour Khovai into Teen Will: 4d6t4+1d12t4 3

Finally, Jack growls. Win feels a sense of hunger has Jack manifests himself to her, but no one else. Currently Jack is a thing of shadows, loping along with smoke-tendril antlers. To Win, Jack appears to dive into Will, making the young mage drop to the floor in pain. Lisbeth and Edward cast worried glances from Will to the players. "Riot, what the hell are you doing?" Ruby hisses, gripping her weapon. "You bitch!" Will screams. Everyone sees him as he picks himself up off the floor. He is teen Will, scrawnier, shorter, softer, hair flat, and goatee sparse. "What did you do?!" "She's a Godbinder," Edward grumbles. "Divine puppeteer." He settles into a dueling stance and points his blade towards Riot." "Lisbeth, stop them." Olia orders. Lisbeth looks to Riot and speaks, her Voice has an echoing timbre, like she is shouting from a deep well. "𝕮𝖆𝖑𝖒 𝕯𝖔𝖜𝖓." And Win feels Calm, Serene. Perhaps more than she has ever felt, the idea of doing harm, doing anything really, is remote and nearly impossible. Olia looks at the warriors splayed out around her. "What the hell is going on here?" __________________________ Lisbeth uses her Voice to make Riot feel Serenity. It's at a 3.

Now, one might assume from the confident méin Sofia had as she plummeted out the window that she had a plan of attack. Nothing could be further from the case. She knows that she can take down the army and, indeed, will. The points from A to B, though... that gets a little fuzzy. Quietly, particularly contrasted with the explosions of magic and sounds of smashing steel and masonry, Sofia settles into a dark alley to contemplate her approach. The way she sees it, the army has three main threats:
The lightbulb flickers on and Sofia springs into action. She's an unstoppable dervish as she carves a path through the streets of the city. The golems are strong, no doubt, but their rock-hard bodies are no match for the might of the fully-charged blades. That isn't to say that she's cutting them all down, not by a longshot, but she's putting a dent in the onslaught. Her target is one of the steam installations that power the lights and buildings of the city. The last thing she remembers is scampering into the depths of the installation and... ...Next thing she knows, she's hurtling skyward on a jet of steam. Her cape is billowed up like a parachute, catching enough in the way of thermals to send her rocketing straight towards the fortress. Scything bolts of magic cleave through the air, but she's just too fast for the wizards to draw a bead on. Some sort of instinct, maybe a half-remembered adventure that Will put them through, tells her that the crystalline matrices powering the fortress's flight will be firmly in the middle of everything. Tucking and rolling as she loses lift and glides into the midst of the wizard horde, she fades out again... ...To find herself face-to-face with a giant crystal. Her swords are already buried in it, sapping away the strange arcane energy that flickers across the immense construct, while panicked wizards yell something about killing them all at her. That does bring a twinge of guilt, given the givens, since this whole thing was orchestrated by Will. Sofia waves them away, already starting to feel exhausted, as she says, "Nah, get out of here. I'm just going to crash this thing... unless you really want to stick around and try me." They don't. The fortress begins to tip from the sky, an image on the rapidly-dimming crystal showing the immense wake approaching the harbor... ...And then Sofia finds herself on land, albeit soaking wet. The fortress seems to have punched a hole in something big, given the way the water has turned a remarkable shade of luminescent blue-green, and the city is quiet. Crashing the fortress must have taken the fight out of all the wizards and, given the lack of rampaging golems, must have tripped whatever safeguards they had in place. She sprawls on the dockside, legs too wobbly to even stand up, and looks up at the throne room towering above the city. It'd really suck if Tony and Win were in trouble, but... well, she did save most of Kheenai. That has to count for something. Tricky fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Aug 9, 2019 |

"You bitch," Will hisses again. "Win, why are you doing this? I made this, I did this all for you loving assholes. I tried to give you a life that you actually wanted." Will, pimpily teenaged Will, waves a hand and Winona's father appears. Not Jaymes, her father in her father's close. "I brought him back. And not just him Win, I tried to bring everyone's family in here. Your mom and your grandparents. I don't know where they are, I know that's lovely, I know. But..I am trying to help you all. Win's father, still visible, seems to look at his daughter and give her a lopsided grin. "Starfist, bind the spellsinger first," Oila orders. "We do not have time for this squabble when my kingdom is under attack." Ruby cautiously approaches Octativa and readies a short length of cord. "Sorry about this." she mutters. "You know Riot so..I suppose you're okay over all." As Ruby moves to bind Octavia's wrists together what sounds and feels like a bomb goes off. The palace shudders and rocks to its foundation. There is a shriek louder than any one in the room thought possible, and then...mercifully, there is silence. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Will creates an illusion of Win's father.

Octavia looks around in fear as the palace shakes, then down at the rope around her wrists. She looks at the disoriented teen Will, and realizes what she has to do. poo poo. This is a really bad idea. "Ruby, I'm sorry, but I have to do this, please don't stab me right away..." She takes a deep breath, turns to Will, and with a sudden dramatic musical sting out of nowhere, her highlights turn green.

"Stop it!" Edward demands. He raises his blade, seeming to want to run Tony through. Then, pauses slightly and adjusts his grip, instead cracking Octavia across the jaw. "You've not done anything to warrant, lady, but you'll have to deal with me if you try that again. " His sword glimmers slightly. "I...tricked them." Will says through gritted teeth. All the NPCs turn to the fallen Master, questioning in their eyes. Will stares at Tony. "I tricked them, but I did it to give them a better life. They didn't know they would be here. Th--they aren't from Preladan. They are innocent." He pauses. "gently caress you Tony."

"No..you can't be serious.." Will pleads to Olia. "They don't want to play the game. I mean..c'mon. They've just dicked around this entire time." Olia arches an eyebrow at Will, "I don't understand anything you are saying. This is no game young man." "That's all this is! Will roars. "And I'm in charge here! The story won't end with a conversation, or..whatever the hell Sofia did. No, it'll end with a fight scene." He closes his eyes and takes a breath.

The blow from Eddie hurt enough on its own, but the feeling of betrayal at being hit like that from his best friend was almost as bad. The ringing in his head cleared just in time for Tony to hear Will's command and to be flung bodily into the wall. He was fairly sure he heard something crack and hoped to God it wasn't him. Octavia pulls herself unsteadily to her feet and draws her rapier. "Don't...don't listen to him!

Riot takes a few clumsy steps back as the violence kicks off, disturbing her pleasant reverie. At first she just stands there staring, small muscles twitching as the sensation of anger struggles to find purchase on her features. She licks her lips. Eventually she musters enough will to try to make the problem go away. Riot flings a hand forward. "Stop!" There's no magic in the word. If anything she sounds meek and tired. But then the violet light floods out of her die and into the room like a fire hose into a teacup. Out a window night can be seen turning into day into night into day into night into-. Around her others wilt and crumple to the ground without even the energy to yawn, falling into the deep sleep of the truly exhausted. Riot lowers the arm lazily and surveys the room to see if any others still stand. Maybe if she got them all she can just wait for Sofia to fix things. That sounds nice. The smile creeps back across her face unbidden. _______________________ Riot casts Sleep with 3 successes. Everyone in the room with 3 or less Wisdom falls asleep. They can be awoken.

No one collapses, nothing that dramatic. But one-by-one, the NPCs slowly sit, lie, or lean, and fall into a deep sleep. Ruby, Eddie, Liz, Olia, along with Tony.

It's been a helluva last few minutes (hours?) as Sofia laboriously makes her way back to the throne room. Every single muscle, including at least a dozen she's pretty sure are completely fictional, are absolutely screaming for her to stop, grab an ice pack, and maybe a few dozen Tylenol. It's tempting, real tempting, but she can't very well let Will do whatever the gently caress he has planned. That guy's straight-up lost it. She crests the last flight of stairs, slumping against the entryway to the throne room proper, and takes a second to examine the scene. For one, it looks like Sofia missed the nap memo... though Will's rictus grin gives her no little doubt it was some sort of cheat or mindcontrol thing and not the sweet, sweet night of rest she craved so much. For two, there's enough chaos and... blood, maybe? Well, whatever the case, it's clear that there's been some shenanigans afoot while she was busy saving the city. She meets Win's eyes, gives her a tired nod, and then says, "Looks like things got out of hand while I was gone, huh? Well, Will, I saved the loving city. I beat the army, probably killed the kraken, crashed the loving fortress... let's go home." If he doesn't go for it, the stabbening will commence.

Riot takes a knee next to Tony and gives him a gentle shake. "Hey. Sleepyhead. You should probably get up." She gives another nudge. "Or stay if you're tired." She abandons the effort. Dreamily she walks around the showdown, looking for somewhere more comfortable to lounge. _______________________________ Riot's still experiencing Serenity at a 3 until Liz turns off the effect or picks a new target.

Octavia wakes up with an undignified snort, and looks around blearily. Her eyes go wide as she takes in the scene, especially Sophia looking like she's ready to attack Will. She tries to stand up, but the pain from being slammed into the wall brings her up short and causes her to slump back onto the floor. "WHOA WHOA WHOA! Hold on! Everybody ugh ow gently caress everybody calm down! Will, undo whatever you did to these people! Sophia, put the drat swords down! We can't just...kill each other!"

"Sorry Tony," Will shakes his head. His teenage self looks miserable."I don't think I can do that. They are now going to attack us. At least until I die."

Sofia rolls her eyes and sighs, "Okay, good, great. Now they want to kill us." The swords dip down towards the floor, though she doesn't put them away. "And you still want to stay? What the gently caress, Will? I mean... I'm not going to say that home is perfect, but there's a helluva lot less people trying to kill us."

Tony just stares, mouth open. "What the gently caress is wrong with you?! Did you think about any of this before you did it? The gently caress did you think was going to happen with all...this?"

"It'll wear off eventually!" Will snaps. "Like we gotta wait awhile, or just leave and come back later. If we wait long enough I can change the rules again. I think. I guess I don't know the rules like I thought I did." "And yeah Sofia, if it were just me I'd stay. We get to be heroes. You wanna go back home? I mean, no disrespect you any of you guys. But think about your lives.....are they worth anything really?" He turns his gaze downward. "Mine isn't."
