[EVENT LOG]

[majorarc]

Who: The World, The Fool, Minions and YOU
When: January 21-26
Where: The Castle
What: Talking at first, then it seems a fight breaks out.
Warnings: Death, violence and other such things



Forcefully, you are pulled from the denizen world and deposited back into your room. The World speaks to the island as a whole and tells you to come to the castle immediately, that something's wrong and she needs your help. It's possible that it's a trick, but it doesn't seem like it by the tone of her voice...

Once you are there, she meets you with The Fool, who has been with her for awhile now. Even he looks a little nervous.

POST-FIGHTING THREAD

[ As the fight for the castle continues, the Emperor and Empress come forth and are waiting for The World. When she approaches them, they disappear into a shadow. The minions suddenly stop what they are doing and everyone turns to them. The shadow settles into the room and with red slits, it looks at everyone. Inside, you feel uneasy, like a child who is irrationally afraid of the dark, despite reassurance.

The World looks at him as The Fool stands behind her.

“You have no place in this world…” She says, trying to sound as brave as she could. The Fool seemed to take a step to her, reaching out for her hand. It helped her steel herself. The Shadow let out a rattled, rotten breath, pulling the warmth from the room quickly.

“You…shall not…conquer fear…”

There's a moment where time seems to stop, and the Shadow quickly attacks. The World expects to die, unable to move quick enough to evade, but someone steps in front of her and takes the blow. When the warmth returns, The Fool has something like a black spike through his chest. Eyes wide behind her mask, The World helps him to the floor. As he reaches up, small smile on his face, the mask begins to break. The porcelain breaks, revealing a young girl with gold eyes.
“Why did you…you know that it was the only way to release my power…” She states softly.

"Already... already lost you once. Don't think the Island could stand losing you again." His voice comes out in rasps.

“You’re…an idiot.” The only thing that greets her is a grin and a small, shaky exhale as he passes. Tears start to fall down her face as she looks to the shadow. Standing up, the room is engulfed with white light that releases the hold that he seems to have on the area. Once the light dies down, you are left in the castle with The World, the minions gone. She looks at The Fool and sighs, turning to the group.

“You may go retrieve all your things. They should be located in the rooms of the Emperor and Empress.” There is something strong about her voice now and a strange glow in her eyes. You may speak to her to gain more details, since the mask is gone. ]

[ Once the entire confrontation is over with, the Fool is dead and after the World turns back to the group with her maskless face revealed to them all to speak, there is a quiet burst of golf-clapping coming from one corner of the room whose occupant seemingly has no sense of empathy whatsoever. ]

Bravo, miss!

[ It's... actually hard to tell whether his congratulations is genuine or not.

He glances once at the spot where the Shadow once crouched, and then with a dismissive shrug, vanished from the room. Gotta go get them belongings from those other rooms. ]

[ Madoka isn't quite ready to do anything. The fights had exhausted her, hurt her in ways other than physical and now... Now she had to watch this sacrifice. She almost starts crying, but it doesn't come to more than tears in the corner of her eyes.

For a few deep breaths she remains standing still in the corner, just watching, a hand pressed against her mouth. She'll be fine in a few minutes, but this time... this time she needed to say goodbye to one who sacrificed himself. ]
