soulping | 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ what if I...push on them... ]

It feels flat.

As in, even when you push on parts of the building that should have indentations or some sort of texture, it's all just smooth and flat.

[ >PUNCH BUILDING ]

The "building" takes the entire force of your punch, but does not budge.

. . . that kind of hurts, doesn't it? Your fist, that is.

[ PROBABLY

grumbling and going to go just wander around town, then. ]

You wander around town; someone pokes at your shoulder, presenting themselves with a smile - again, there's no facial features, but you . . . feel like they are smiling.

"Good afternoon. I've just finished shopping at the SHOP, and I think this ARMOR will definitely match my SWORD. Don't you think so?"

...Do armour and swords really match?

"Sure they do. You won't wear a MAGICIAN'S BREASTPLATE when you've got HONESTY, right? That's like fire and water, they totally clash!"

But what if I did.

"They totally don't match. . . you could but you'd be a laughingstock, eh?"

Stuff like that isn't for looking good, though...

[ WANDERING OFF TO THE SHOPS ]

"Hey, good afternoon! Welcome to my shop. Are you looking for anything in particular?"

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

BUY
> HEALTH POTION - 5G
> MANA POTION - 10G
> REVIVE - 20G
> BREAD - 2G
> WATER - 2G

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

You don't have any weapons?

"You'll want the weapons dealer one vendor over."

[ going over! ]

"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.

[ examines those things! ]

You can touch them to see what they are.

> HONESTY - a sword with a biting edge typically used by WARRIORS.
> SARCASM - a spell typically used by MAGICIANS. Allows them to use SARCASM on their enemies.
> ENCOURAGEMENT - a type of arrow typically used by ARCHERS to provide support and encouragement on the battlefield.
> COMFORT - a healing spell typically used by ACOLYTES to bring comfort and heal a single member of their party.

Can I use all of those even if I'm a mage?

[ CHECKING SELF FOR MONEY ]

"Probably not ENCOURAGEMENT, but you could use the other ones. You need other equipment for ENCOURAGEMENT.

I'll buy Comfort, then!

You buy COMFORT for 10G.

You may now use COMFORT, though it is not as effective as an ACOLYTE'S COMFORT. In addition, it may cost additional MP.

Thank you!

[ going to the other shop and buying as much water as possible WATER IS IMPORTANT ]

That's like 2 waters yo. That's a lot of waters.

[ FUCK YES WATERS

now how do I get out of town ]
