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:
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.

If you want to deal with this problem, come on out.

Re: ROOM 1
[And he won't believe it because that's the thing. She's around. She's the one whose been around the longest. She was so angry and frustrated while searching for the Director. She was there helping with Chorus. She had Church? Epsilon? She knew the Reds and Blues, she knew they did stupid shit, and she wanted to stop killing.]
[She wanted to stop killing, handle things legally, and god.]
[God, it just tells him the thing he's been dreading. Because it's like his memories are dancing around it. Something Happened. Something Bad. Maybe Temple's revenge was warranted because it was believable the UNSC wanted to cover up whatever the hell they did.]
[But in the end, he doesn't care for unknown sins. He doesn't care about laws. Not when it might be a danger to his friends. Fuck Temple. Fuck the UNSC if it comes to that. Nothing is more important than his friends. Nothing.]
And if you think I believe we died there, you really are barking up the wrong tree. Do you know how insane and incredible Carolina is? She sees a building explode and she jumps off the edge and makes the fucking landing! She sees a hangar full of people and she goes for it. She hears the UNSC is after us and she wants to take them to court.
[He pulls up his gun, and there is righteous, defensive fury, and utter faith.] I don't believe we're going to die because I believe in Carolina! I believe in my stupid survival instincts. We're getting out of it and how dare you use her face. Carolina is too good for you to mimic!
Re: ROOM 1
the last thing he sees of her proper face before it melts might be - something like a peaceful expression. ]
Re: ROOM 1
[Though the melting thing will be stuff of nightmares, but he can't think in nightmares. He can think here and he believes in her. He believes in them because they're still getting through some grade A crazy bullshit.]
[So he holds onto that feeling as the slime melts away, and the peaceful expression is....]
[That is a thing.]
[He may need to talk to Eliza about that.]
[He takes a breath, let's it out, and lowers the gun.]
[Time to make sure his friends are all right.]
