ENDPLOT | ROLL THE BONES, PART 2

Characters: ALL!
Date: Mid-Late November
Location: In the Dreaming
Situation: It's either Malicant or the Foreigners... and their worlds.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.

Locating the Vilii Stone has been dealt with and now it's time to take on Malicant directly. It's a relatively simple interpretation that proves the answer to the conundrum of how to share the object between all involved: shatter it, and make sure everyone has a shard. It clears any remaining taint of Malicant's essence from those who still more it and makes said evil furious. They're all feeling it now-- the throbthrobthrob of his telepathic presence has swamped the caverns where the stone once lay, and the only safe harbour is the Hotel. There's only so long even the Hotel will be able to withstand that force.

Inside the Dreaming, that force can't be felt. Inside the Dreaming, the caverns are reflected on long smooth lines, riveted by sinew and muscle, a true combination of the realms in this space that becomes a living maze to work against them. There are many offshoots, and when the Foreigners arrive in the Dreaming they will find themselves separated, both willingly and unwillingly, three or four apiece to each individual set of caverns that seal behind them. They're going to have to move fast and defend one another. Their collective power is all that remains between Malicant and everything else, and every part of him must be defeated.

He's waiting, but he's not without a plan.

The Foreigners will find that they are facing the embodiments of their greatest fears and weaknesses. An enemy they were never able to defeat, a friend who betrayed them, a fateful event that they couldn't outrun, even a physical feat they could never overcome. Malicant has had a long time to study them, to befriend them as Asti, to gain their trust and exploit their secrets. Where there are individuals, these embodiments will be targeted and where there are groups, they'll be something that encompasses multiple forms.

But the Foreigners are not without recourse: they are in the Dreaming Realm, a plane shaped by willpower, by desire... and even to a degree, by the very fears they are facing. The Gha'nal venom will allow them to manipulate what they perceive as the "reality" around them, and the shard of Vilii Stone they've been given will become a weapon or tool fitting to the situation, to help them.

So here's the final log! There's a lot of freedom for players to write what they feel will be their biggest obstacle to overcome, and how Malicant will appear to be challenging them. The common traits to what all players are going to face are listed in the description above. This log will be open until the end of the month, at which point an interim log and OOC post will be going up.

He nods again, finally tearing his eyes away from the the shade. Deciding he doesn't want to stay in this area any longer, Akito moves ahead, trusting Gene to follow close behind. It's hard to think straight - to breathe - but he just keeps telling himself that it's alright.

Gene follows, covering their six. He doesn't like that he's been separated from Tony, and he hopes that his idiot nerd boyfriend hasn't gotten into any trouble that he can't get out of.

He hopes the same for himself, come to think of it.

Akito eventually slows down - not tired, per se, but still exhausted - until he's nearer to Gene's side than he isn't. Dealing with Kaito has always made him somewhat clingy, preferring to stay near others (usually Agito, even if just in their mind). It wasn't really Kaito he faced back there, and he doesn't have the option to cling, so he just sticks as near to Gene as he dares.

Gene notices that Akito's sticking close - and who could blame him? He glances sidelong at the other boy, something that is not quite concern on his face, but it's akin to it. "You okay?"

Probably not, all things considered.

"I'm okay," he says, doing his best to believe it himself. "I'll be better when this is all over though."

"Same goes for all of us, I think," Gene says. "At least the hard part's over." For Akito, at least.
