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.

Right.

So...it's not just some go-on-dates-and-practice-flirting storyline.

Nope. The dates are only part of the route that builds up to the sex scenes.

Aoi doesn't know the setup for this one yet though. That opening scene about fixing the world was weird, and Aoi should have forgotten everything about the last game. But all my memories from the last route are still here? Is this a glitch?

[That sounds like a common adult holosuite program of that nature. Whatever the build up is, it always leads to sex of some kind. So he really shouldn't be phased by this at all. In fact, as far as holosuite programs that he's sold go, it sounds pretty tame. So why is there a discomfort that's settling in his stomach?

Well, that just won't do. There's too much happening right now to deal with feelings like those! Best to just ignore the. So that's what he's going to do right now! This is going to be Later Quark's problem!

He latches on to that change of subject pretty quickly.]


I dunno about that. The whole glitch thing. In fact, I was under the impression that this wasn't a holosuite program of any kind.

[Aoi is pretty handily distracted from the nature of her existence as well. Sure, she knew she was talking to somebody aware of the world being a game, but he’s also aware of the concept of how to start up a new one.]

But Aoi’s never been outside of a game before…is this another advancement in technology?

[It’d make sense if people wanted their games to be more immersive, but how much can the barrier between the game and reality really shrink?]

Good question. There's probably some kind of explanation for it, but others would probably just chalk it up to whatever sort of something Athena's done, since she's a goddess and the one that brought us here.

Maybe she did something that made you able to leave a game for once.
yourheroine: (◯ that's scattered everywhere)

[personal profile] yourheroine 2025-07-12 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Boop boop...so if Aoi's in reality...

[Aoi looks up, her expression seeming a bit lost.]

...what now?

Now? Well, personally, I'm here to do what I was contracted to do. Renew this world.
