Canis's heart

The moment you step through the mirror door, you seem to - slip, as if the floor were made of wax, but when you fall there is no floor to catch you; only darkness.

You fall for some time. Eventually, it feels as if you're not falling at all - but rather, floating . . . and some time after that, it almost feels as if you have no body at all. The light from which the entrance of Canis's heart is disappears quickly, and you're left with nothing - not even your own screams, if you have any; nothing seems to leave your throat, and there's no sound at all, besides. Even the rushing of wind is gone, and your own pulse seems to fade away. . .

. . . what penetrates your consciousness next is the soft sound of music. Someway or another, you find yourself on a white platform; you're dressed in plain clothes of your team color, all items gone from your person. In front of you, four stones float; all perfectly square and identical to each other. Each have images - a sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, and a sparkling circle . . . you understand what you must do.

Although the town looks - and sounds! - to be pretty big, it seems it's not so big after all; there's only the main street, and all the alleyways seem to be blocked off by vendors. . . .


Eventually, you reach the other side of the town.

Leave town?

[well this is...strange. it's almost tempting to take a look outside, but heading out immediately seems a little unwise. he'll head over to the nearest vendor, just to see]

The vendor greets you with a smile.

"Hey there! You lookin' to buy a weapon, kid?"

A holographic menu pops up, flat - you can touch the menu if you wish; select an item to buy it.

BUY
> HONESTY - 15G
> SARCASM - 15G
> ENCOURAGEMENT - 15G
> COMFORT - 15G


. . . or you could sell something, if . . . you have anything on your person.

[for some reason he finds this kind of funny. almost, he wants to laugh. Still! he's not sure he needs any of these, but before he makes any kind of decision he supposes he should check to see if he has anything with which he could buy anything, anyway]

You scour along the pockets of your person and find 15G.

[just 15, huh. that would get him just one of these...or maybe more of something else, if he keeps looking? does he even need any of this? he'll try tapping each item, see if he can garner any more information. but just in case...]

What do they do?

[yeah, he figures he doesn't need any of these. none of them feel quite right outside of the one he already knows, and why would he need that?

he'll head over to the next one, still browsing]

[the 'revive' sounds kind of ominous yet useful...but he can't afford that. Mana sounds like it relates to spells, and he knows one of those, right? so he'll tap that one for more info to make sure.

and the bread and the water while he's at it. just to make sure he's not missing something]

> MANA POTION - replenishes MANA, the energy source for spellcasters, MAGICIANS and ACOLYTES alike. Restores 20 MP.

> BREAD - a loaf of bread to sate your hunger.

> WATER - a flask of water to sate your thirst.

[yeah he'll select mana. plus the bread and water, just in case]

[personal profile] knighttolast 2014-06-15 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
You buy a MANA POTION for 10G. You also buy BREAD and WATER for 4G total. You have spent 14G.

[well, that's...pretty much everything he has. so maybe he should head out of town now. it's not like he can't come back if things get out of hand...right?]
