Leif - Earth Stone

[the_last]

[As soon as Leif chomps on the fruit, he will experience sudden disorientation, as if suddenly unfamiliar with being inside his body, perhaps not even knowing why he is there or who he is. It lasts for but a moment and then slowly fades... He will suddenly find himself in a place that seems unusually quiet and gray, as though the color were stolen but there remains just enough to suggest that things have been greatly subdued. There are also about three spots in the distance that seem to almost glow with gentle hues of color, soft and welcoming. Too bad, they seem much too far away to reach.

Within the gray is an expansive forest of every tree imaginable and dry, brittle grass that extends to mid-calf. Here and there, one might even spot some faded prints left upon the ground. The sky is equally gray, although not one cloud can be seen. But a dark mist seems to swirl around the forest, not too thick but clearly present.]

I had support on my quest. [Shrugs.]

[karlsefni]

. . . just be careful, then. It's creepy here.

[wouldntkilladragon]

I'm always careful.

Come on, let's go. [Getting to his feet.]

[karlsefni]

[ when did you start holding the reins here ]

[ getting up tho ]

The herd is—in danger, I think, but I don't know why.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[:)]

They usually are.

[karlsefni]

. . . . you know?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Yep. Known for a while.

[karlsefni]

Great. You know why?

[wouldntkilladragon]

It's a sad story

[Walking farther into the woods.]

[karlsefni]

[ . . . . i am going to go ahead of you because this. is my quest. :T ]

[ snorts ] Apparently ever Persona has a sad story.

[wouldntkilladragon]

It does seem that way. But their worlds were getting consumed by Darkness.

[karlsefni]

[ nnods ]

Why are they in danger, then?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Someone is gonna betray them.

[karlsefni]

. . . . Just how the hell am I supposed to save them from something that's going to happen.

"Someone"?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Yes. Someone they trusted who would bring their demise. All save for one.

[karlsefni]

[ pausing to listen for anything else in the woods, before making a noise as if to signal, "go on". ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

So they need to be saved this time.

[karlsefni]

So let me get this straight. They were in danger, and they're always in danger because someone's about to betray them and brings them to their demise, and there's just one survivor. [ . . . a pause, but really he doesn't get that the one survivor is probably fell ]

Sooo. . . . what I need to do to save the herd is toooo stop the betrayal, or prevent their demise from happening, but I have no idea who that person who's betraying them is or the demise in question. Great. On top of that, I can't see shit or ask them about it, because they're not fucking here.

[wouldntkilladragon]

You almost got it. One thing wrong though.

[karlsefni]

Which is?

[wouldntkilladragon]

You know who the person is.

[karlsefni]

What? Who?

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Stops and looks back.] Isn't it obvious?

[karlsefni]

[ . . . also stops, an eyebrow quirking up as he racks his brain for anyone who might have killed a horde of unicorns. ]


. . . . no?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Really? Come on, you know the answer. Just think about it. I can't always tell it to you.
