Ideal World Endgame

[idolpro]

Who: Beautiful dreamers
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 271, morning

[When you wake, the folding chairs and divans from before have all been cleared away. You're lying asleep on the floor, healed of all injury.]

[You remember the events of the worlds you've visited as though visions seen in a dream -- though for those of you torn from your perfect existence, there is an ache inside you which will not fade for some days... the pain of something precious that has been lost.]

[Out beyond the windows of the tower, the sky is no longer a perfect blue; the vegetation is no longer as lush and inviting.]

[The view is of Tokyo-F, exactly as it's always been.]

[Near the far wall, there is an open book on a pedestal. The pages are empty. It is titled GUEST BOOK, and a pen waits nearby.]

GUEST BOOK | SOUVENIRS | WINNERS

[You are getting a hair ruffle.] I appreciate it. Seriously.

[ grumbles mildly ]

I am glad you approve of my intentions.

[protectshisown]

Hey, I already have a deranged nemesis. I don't need to start going that way, but in the direction of perceived goodness.

Also I think you're pragmatic enough to just straight up steal my leg. Simple and easily repeated until sense gets knocked into me.

[iamverybadass]

That is just one of many harmless options I can consider.

[protectshisown]

Some people can just be so honorable about that sort of thing. Of course, other options are acceptable, but it's nice to know someone will just do the simple thing.

[iamverybadass]

You would have to do something quite severe to deserve anything less than that.

[protectshisown]

[Shrugs.] That's the thing about potentially going crazy, you have no idea what you're going to do until it suddenly makes sense to you.

Honestly, I'd prefer just enabling Dagur to steal Dragon Hunter boats or whatever else I'm doing with my life.

[iamverybadass]

That doesn't sound like a bad life.

[protectshisown]

Not the worse.

I'd prefer no Dragon Hunters at all, but I'd certainly deal with having to do a bunch of frustrating fights then going crazy.
