Arrival
The moment is a bit different for everyone. Perhaps you were just minding your own business somewhere, others may have been in more... dire circumstances. Regardless, you were approached by a figure you can't quite picture, and they offered you an accord; in exchange for aiding them in the healing of a world lost to chaos, you would be granted something almost unheard of. Godhood.
And each of you said yes, more or less.
A blurry hand, shifting and rippling, reaches out to you. You feel a glow of warmth, unlike anything you've known before. As soon as you think you can describe it, you wake up.
The room you're in is plainly furnished, but it's about the size of a small flat. Plenty of room to stretch your legs. Don't get too comfortable, however. On the bedside table each room has is a letter; handwritten, it's wrapped around a bronze key. The lettering could only be described as the platonic ideal of 'neat and precise'.
If you are reading this, than our deal has been made. You've awoken in a place that will surely feel strange, so I want you to take some time to acclimate. Meet with the others. Breathe. I shall be along shortly.
-A
Whatever that means becomes more apparent as you step out of your housing and behold the world around you. The building you were in, and every piece of architecture you happen across, is blatantly pre-modern. Yet, something about it is otherworldly. Stone and iron and glass as far as the eye can see.
But above you was where the real questions were. It wouldn't be right to say the sun was shining on you now, nor would it be right to say it's the dead of night. Instead, the sky is a hazy mixture of both, wrapped in suffocating storm clouds that are threatening rain. Everywhere you look, into the horizon, it's the same.
Welcome home. Take your time and explore. Nobody ever said godhood was easy.

It'll cancel out. Athena said there's no death here, anyway.
no subject
[Though he's a vampire, it's clear he's actually quite uncomfortable with someone outright volunteering.]
Athena did say the kitchen is well-stocked. I shall investigate that, first.
[So he brushes it aside very quickly.]
no subject
Aoi's still an option if you run out.
[Her tone is emotionless, as if she's simply offering to lend him some money and not. Well, saying that he can suck her blood.
It's good that nobody is going to vanish.]
no subject
Maybe save being a human juice box as a Plan Z.
[NOT. IMMEDIATELY SAYING SHE CAN'T BUT ALSO GIRL DON'T LET THE SPARKLY VAMPIRE MAN ZUCK YOU BLOOD BLAH BLAH BLAH]
no subject
cw for bloodborne diseases?
It's a risk for something, alright. You don't know where that guy's teeth've been.
[DO VAMPIRES BRUSH AND FLOSS??]
no subject
no subject
[so blithe, completely missing the offended tone]
What, I thought vampires bite people and suck their blood like mosquitos do.
[JUST SAYING BRO THAT'S HOW YOU GET SICK]
I do not have an annoyed enough icon for this conversation
[He says it very slowly, enunciating each syllable.]
its okay we all can tell in spirit
[he didn't even say tomahto--]

cw for bloodborne diseases?
Aoi won't get sick.
no subject
Aoi, please keep your blood in your body and out of people's mouths.
[WHY IS THIS A CONVERSATION NEEDING TO BE HAD. WHY THIS.]

[He's never killed someone feeding from them, but then again when it's not a battle to the death he's only fed from one person.]
no subject
Boop boop...got it. Aoi won't come between you.
no subject
It's appreciated.
no subject
...What do you mean by that? The disappearing part.
no subject
Aoi doesn't know if charging works the same way as the last game. There's a different goal.
no subject
I'm sorry, but could you explain to me what a battery is?
[ Let's just start there though. ]
no subject
The battery gives Aoi energy to live. Like when something gets zapped by lightning and it starts a fire. Fwooosh!
no subject
[ And she actually thinks she does? Fires need wood or another source of fuel to continue burning so you feed it more. People need energy to live, that's why you eat. Makes sense. And there's a vampire who needs blood to do that, and then so Aoi... ]
And what charges your "battery" then?
[ Because it's the "Aoi does too" part of this she's hung up on. ]
cw sexual implications
Letting a vampire bite my neck would count, maybe? But this game might censor Aoi from doing anything too hardcore. Since not everybody's listed as 18 or older.

I’m sorry, I don’t think I follow anymore…
[ She’s trying so hard. No one can say she didn’t try. ]
2/2
But why don’t we try and find another way to charge it together later?
no subject
A different way to charge it...
[The statement has a weight of resignation to it, but it's not quite cynical. Not enough emotion reaches Aoi's voice that conveys that she's anything but slightly confused.]
Aoi can't call God right now to check, but Athena might know. She said that the goal of this game was to help each other?
