Event || Another Side, Another Story (Conclusion)

Characters: Anyone (only characters who came in as part of the event can start new threads).
Where: Anywhere
When: 29th of February.
Summary: As the final day of the event closes in, the characters who came in are on the verge of meeting with a terrible fate: some are going to die whilst some are going to crystallize and disappear. The tragedy may happen to them anytime from 08:00 AM to 08:00 PM on this day, so they can see some of their friends die or crystallize before it happens to them—Or not. If you plan on app’ing your character next week, then nothing will happen to them so long as their application is accepted. In doubt, you are free to wait until the application round starts and your app gets processed before posting here.
Warning: Tragedies of the Greek and Shakespearean flavors.


MELODIES OF DEATH
— Warning: If you pick this option, you will lock yourself out from ever app’ing this particular version of your character again —

Maybe you were minding your own business, planning for the future as you finally reached civilization and met a lot of wonderful people. Maybe even you were thinking about ways for you to save your homeworld, ways to fight Palitutu, Garland and the Calamity. But unfortunately you will not be able to do any of these things, for a terrible fate awaits these Heroes of Light who were awakened by Kalki all these months ago.

At any time during the day, it could strike any of newly arrived Heroes of Light. At first it will start with a terrible, agonizing pain that will surge throughout their bodies—Nearly unbearable, as if they were dying. After mere seconds the pain will subside, but then they will feel life itself leaving their bodies. There would be a little bit of time for the Heroes of Light to speak final words to their friends, but only seconds to a minute at best before death catches up with them

And upon dying, the crystals of dead Heroes of Light will shatter and their bodies will remain, not crystallizing. All the Heroes of Light in Crystallis will feel a sharp pain as this happens—But the pain will grow lesser and lesser with each subsequent death, until it’ll become nothing more than a tingle.


MELODIES OF ETERNITY
— This option will have the characters crystallize and disappear, meaning they can still be app’d at some point in the future —

And because many of the newly arrived Heroes of Light, maybe you assumed you would as well—But maybe you wouldn’t. Not all of the Heroes of Light who reached Mysidia this past week were meet with such a terrible fate. Some will fall in Crystal Stasis instead. It was a state that had immobilized and taken away countless Heroes of Light before, but maybe this was better than death?

Like those who died, they will feel a terrible pain surging throughout their bodies. But rather than fading, the pain will remain as their bodies slowly crystallize. They will have the time for a farewell to their friends, but their time is limited to nothing more than mere seconds.

And only instants after their bodies fully crystallized, they will vanish, nowhere to be found.


MELODIES OF LIFE
— This option is for character being app’d and then accepted into the game —

Or maybe nothing will happen to you. But unfortunately, you can see everyone around you dying of crystallizing, and assume the same fate awaits you.

But why? Why it this happening to everyone on the same day, just after the two groups of Heroes of Light finally reunited? Surely this cannot be a coincidence…

Melodies of Eternity | Wander | open to threadjacking

There was so many neighborhoods Wander hadn't visited yet. There was so much of this beautiful planet he had yet to see. Today was supposed to be another day to spend with friends and traveling to other cities. Another day hopping out of bed, grabbing a light breakfast at the local bakery, and humming to himself as he walked down the crowded streets towards the fountains and chocolate eggs.

"Mornin'!" He greeted everyone who looked his way. Today was going to be great!

He hopped onto an empty stretch of the fountain rim and removed his muffin from the paper bag. The sun was shining, the residents of the city were milling about, life was good--

And there was a sharp pain in his chest.

Wander let go of his breakfast, fumbled for control with one hand while the other clutches his jacket just above his heart, and lost control. The muffin broke on impact and the crumbs scattered across the stones. He too, fell onto the ground as the pain spread across his chest.

Lucrecia had been heading to the bakery when she noticed a familiar figure by the fountain. At first she smiled, about to call out in greetings and wish him a good morning. Yet those words and her smile died as she saw him clutch his jacket and fall forward.

"Wander...!" Lucrecia rushed over, bending down to gently place a hand on his back if he'd allow. "Wander, what's wrong?"
folkscallmewander: ((not) okay)

He froze mid-gasp. He couldn't let Lucrecia worry, especially not when she already had enough to worry about. He put on the biggest grin he could muster, pushed himself off the ground, and sat up with one hand grasping the clothes on his chest.

"Nothin', must have swallowed my food before properly chewin' on it. You know how bad that is for you, right? Well, guess I forgot all about that and--" He flinched and doubled over. "Sorry, still in my pipe."

The heavy sweating was an instant indicator of his lies.

She reached out to place a hand on his back if he'd let her. A terrible liar he was, but he was still a friend. Someone she felt a need to help regardless.

"Wander, please." Even if this usually fell just slightly out of her area of expertise, she couldn't help but worry. She couldn't help him if he didn't state what was wrong, though. "I am a doctor, remember?"

Busted.

He froze, his wet eyes watching Lucrecia as realization spread over his face just like the crystallization spread from within himself. The blue shine stood out against the red coat, and at that moment, he know that lying would never have helped.

"I'm sorry, Luc." He put on an apologetic smile. "I shoulda told the truth."
