Origin Star Finale: Session 1

Who: explorers
When: Day 54, morning
Where: The Final Island

[As promised, two hours after the initial announcement, the train shudders slightly as if in preparation for a Trial. On your Chain is a short message:
If you want to deal with this problem, come on out.

Step out of the lounge car and you'll find a cozy but sturdy-looking airship hovering a few inches above the ground. Its only occupant is Thyme himself -- a small young man with many white, feathery wings sprouting from his back and head. He's familiar to some and new to others, but regardless he looks like he's feeling a bit awkward to be here, and rather concerned about the situation in general.]

Before we start, get the idea of slaying the demon out of your head. This is Malice. You're going in to purify. That said, we're detecting three sources of corruption on the small island, so we'll be doing this in three steps. They're likely totems deliberately set by someone, so you'll need to find and deactivate one each trip.

You're probably going to be up against a lot of creatures, but you need to fight them with your feelings more than your weapons. When you find the totem, throw your positivity at it.

Got it? Let's go.

[Board the airship and it'll take off with lightning speed, though somehow the ride is quite smooth. The ship darts over the ocean and around the back of the island, where you get a breathtaking view of the ancient ruin that takes up a large part of it. The airship stops at a small outcrop, dominated by one large stone door, slightly ajar.]

Here you go. Try not to get killed.

Mao! [ Brightens!! ... Audibly, if not visibly, thanks to the snake wall. ]

It might help to all help each other! It's not so scary when you're with your friends!
beeknighted: (A perfect report card. All B's.)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-01-05 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, give me a moment, I'll try to climb the snake.

I was thinking moral support! Snakes don't have handholds!

[personal profile] hot_mess_express 2020-01-05 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ the snake does not. it is also going to rest its head atop of meridian, closing her off from mao -

it is suddenly very, very dark. ]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2020-01-05 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
'least now I can't see your stupid, ugly scales, you big dumb noodle!

[personal profile] hot_mess_express 2020-01-05 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ she can feel them though, as they constrict tighter and tighter, trapping her further and further. can she even breathe. . . ? how much air does she have left? ]
schrodingerscockroach: (Deadeye stare)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2020-01-05 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh Jesus, he focuses on Carolina for a minute-]

Fuck scales! Meri, it's all right to help, right?

[He's asking because you know, SHE TOLD HIM TO ASK, but he's definitely already closing the distance because he will be very confused if the answer is No.]
featherbeaned: commission | dnt | <user name=saikou_everyday> (+ Forget the umbrella.)

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2020-01-05 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
VERY MUCH PLEASE HELP ME!
schrodingerscockroach: (Check yes for train)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2020-01-05 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Glad you agree!

[He will help with pulling on this snake.]

Because this is a rude ass snake! Doesn't it know it can't ever be as cool as dragon and having feathers?
schrodingerscockroach: (Jiiiiii)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2020-01-05 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[NO]

You can't be as cool as Carolina and you definitely can't be as cool as Meridian!

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2020-01-05 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ no ]

It only wishes it was as cool as a dragon with feathers!
schrodingerscockroach: (Judging sis)

[personal profile] schrodingerscockroach 2020-01-05 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! This loser should know it can't ever be as cool as a dragon with feathers!

Let alone a dragon with feathers that can change size! Or turn into a cute girl! Or defeat a monster while depowered.

This snake ain't shit.

[I will hypeman this dragon.]

[personal profile] hot_mess_express 2020-01-05 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ oops! ]
beeknighted: (This is it!)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-01-05 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Straight up running and trying to climb up the snake after hearing Meri's distress]

Meri! You can do this, you're not alone! You can be way bigger than this thing!
featherbeaned: commission | dnt | <user name=saikou_everyday> (+ Forget the umbrella.)

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2020-01-05 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ wait ]

[ bigger? ]

[ yes, that's right, that's right, she can be bigger than this thing! ]

[ TIME TO TRY SHAPESHIFTING, growing bigger and bigger and bigger, pushing against the snake ]

[personal profile] hot_mess_express 2020-01-05 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ that only serves to make the situation worse, perhaps? at least, from how it tightens more, unfazed by her shapeshifting, becoming a tighter prison around her ]

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-01-05 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[OKAY BUT I'M STILL TRYING TO CLIMB YOU]

[personal profile] hot_mess_express 2020-01-05 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ climbed . . .

it starts to tremble, perhaps angered by the idea that it cannot be as cool as a dragon, and becomes amorphous - rather than a snake, it shifts back into a slime, only

this time

meridian is absorbed entirely into it. oops! ]

beeknighted: (Barry! Breakfast is ready!)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-01-05 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay. You can do it Meri!

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2020-01-05 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
This snake is dumb!
beeknighted: (Barry I told you stop flying in the hous)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-01-05 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
You're way smarter and cooler than it!

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2020-01-05 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ except this is terrible and her only response is ALARMED SQUEAKING as it constricts around her ]
beeknighted: (That girl was hot. She's my cousin!)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-01-05 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[oh no, okay, maybe rushing to try and climb the snake anyway]
