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.

[ casts Sarcasm on a blob that's further away than the last one was; lets not get splashtackled again, shall we? ]

Take this!

You hit it! It loses over half its HP this time around - it feels like you've gotten stronger?

[ this is fun! if there wasn't the pressing need to hurry up and help Canis, she could fight things like this for a while...

this time she runs in close to finish the job with another hit from her trusty staff! ]

It's dead! And you gain 8G, divided among the both of you - with the previous blob, that's 8G that both of you gained!

An incredible feeling of satisfaction and victory rushes over the both of you. CEPHEUS gains 12 EXP and raises to LEVEL TWO. All bars are filled!

[ PUNCHES THE AIR ]

Aah, this is great! We should get a move on to another area now that we're better prepared.

[his smile is a little more convincing this time]

You don't think we should stick around here a bit longer and level up some more?

[though honestly it's not A LOT of fun standing around watching so it's not like he'd be all that hard to persuade to move on]

Hmm... We could stand to get a couple more levels before taking on anything bigger.

Let's gain another two levels, enough to take on those clear jelly things.

[and he nods his agreement-- this route seems safest!]

Better safe than sorry.

[ targets another coloured jelly with Sarcasm, determined to get leveled up enough to help Canis get rid of that soulinfection...thing. ]

It hits! The Amalthea-colored jelly wibbles, teary-eyed, but that doesn't stop you, does it?

[ i'm going to have a serious talk with canis about making his heart monsters so cute

BUT I'M CLOBBERING IT WITH MY STAFF ANYWAY ]

Ok, literally it's not his fault.

YOU KILLED THE THING YOU DID IT YAY. 8G! And you gain 12 EXP, feeling a bit stronger. . . but you're not at level 3 yet. Maybe one more would do it?

[ TIME TO BEAT UP ANOTHER BLOB

this time she spams Sarcasm twice in a row. ]

Two strikes! It's out!

. . . . well, this isn't baseball. But the blob dissolves, granting Sparrow and Cepheus both 12EXP and 4G each and hey, look, you even get a HEALTH POTION out of it!

SPARROW has reached LEVEL THREE! She now has a new spell: PUNISHMENT.

Get it.

Because you're a wordplay magician and this spell has to do with puns?

Get it??

[ oh my god ]

Let's give this new spell a whirl!

[ CASTS PUNISHMENT AT A BLOB ]

You cast some PUNISHMENT down on that foolish blob, PUNting it back to the earth where it beblobs.

That was a stretch. The point is, you killed the thing yayyyy.

CEPHEUS has reached LEVEL THREE! He now has a new spell: FIRST AID.

Cepheus, did that do the trick?

[ Sparrow glances back at him before casting Sarcasm at yet another blob before trying to follow up with a hard smack with her staff ]

[he feels kiiinda bad about the jellyblobs...but not enough to make a fuss because hey he levelled up again and got a new spell, yay!]

It did.

[he's also curious about this new spell but no point wasting MP when they don't need it, right?]

It dies! Yayyy. 12EXP and 4G for the both of you!

...I'm going to try and take on a clear one!

[ with that said to (hopefully) alert Cepheus, she casts Punishment at a clear jelly with a shout. ]

[and he'll just...take a step back but be ready in case she needs healing...those things weren't nice!]

You strike it! It seems . . . to do some damage, but not a whole lot, and it only serves to make it really angry. Which would be one thing, but the thing is now there are four LVL 4 clear blobs coming after you to smack you with -10HP hitting moves. It's a killer blob posse.

[oops? he's gonna cast COMFORT super-quick!!]

Maybe we should back off! It looks like we need one more level to fight those things?

[ ...well shit

she's... yeah she's running back, spamming Punishment in hopes of at least taking that one out ]

Shit, run for the exit! We're gonna have to get out of here now!

Yes, running does seem like a good idea.

On the bright side though, you do manage to kill a single LVL4 with your spamming, though it leaves your MP bar depleted and your HP bar is still slowly regaining health from Cepheus - though! It is pretty impressive that you got to kill one, but there are still several coming after you so running to the exit sounds like the best idea.
