Origin Star Finale: Session 1

[fairwind]

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.

ROOM 2

[hot_mess_express]

[Heading East from Room 1, you enter a room littered with crumbling stone benches and walls that once, some time long ago, were carved in a pattern of stars, leaves, and feathers.

The floor is half covered in vines and slippy with slime goop, though the slimes themselves appear to be absent. In their place are patches of a black, slightly pulsating mold.

There is one exit to the North, through a doorway that may have held double doors once upon a time. You can also choose to stop to rest or investigate this room!]

[voreaciously]

[Gonna investigate!]

[hot_mess_express]

[As you're looking around, you stumble on a small stone box. It had a wooden lock once, but it's disintegrated now.

The lid is covered in mold.]

[voreaciously]

[she doesn't trust that fucking mold at all so shes going to try and open that box with a long, thin rod of ice.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Going to move closer, holding up a hand.]

[He's ready to throw up a magical shield in case Bad happens.]

[bowtiedbones]

[getting her chain out to take pictures of the carvings. neat!]

[voreaciously]

Hello Miss--Eliza-han.

[What is this REST you speak of, sounds fake.]

[Gonna investigate. Also gonna hold his sweatshirt over his mouth when he gets close to that mold.]

[It's not so breathable thanks to SLIME, but thanks augmentation for helping stuff like that.]

[There's not a lot of interest, besides all the neat carvings. However, 80H has found a box.]

[featherbeaned]

[ Meri goes to carefully sniff at and around the exit to the north, trying to get a feel for what might be beyond. ]

[hot_mess_express]

[It's a short hallway that leads to some kind of round room, from which you hear a faint sniffling.]

[featherbeaned]

[ Her ears twitch at the sound. ]

[ Edges that way, concerned but still cautious. ]

Re: ROOM 2

[malignstar]

Well, that wasn't helpful. Aside from maybe these.

[ Glancing at his deer statue as he investigates, also taking care to pay close attention to where he steps ]

Re: ROOM 2

[schrodingerscockroach]

[We're trying to freeze loneliness spores so be careful bro]

[ THE FUN NEVER ENDS ]

[bluediligence]

Well! That was fun!

[ That wasn't fun. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Hi, we're trying to freeze loneliness spores and got a necklace.]

[bluediligence]

Dusk? What's going on?

[ She comes cautiously closer, wary of the spores. ]

[malignstar]

At least you had a shield.

[bluediligence]

Magical pendants come in handy sometimes.

Re: ROOM 2

[beeknighted]

[Running into the room with Faito and Felix hey guys what's going on in here]

That could have gone better.

Re: ROOM 2

[malignstar]

Someone did not want us in there.

Re: ROOM 2

[beeknighted]

There was probably something important in there.
