Crown of Dreams | Role play

[Backbackback]

"Master Kon...it myaight be better to focus on master Yos, instead of Deel before you annoy him"

"Yeah, uhhh..."

The witch made a short short glance at what Yoshioka had been thinking. But aren't they connected? Yes, they are. But the one who controls whether that line is severed or not is down to the former and never the latter. She can't tell what she was feeling or thinking about, but if there's one thing she knew from the flashes of their past clashing and mixing each time they fuse....

It was anger. A deep unquelled, seated, boiling rage.

After this epic battle, the group split up, Rassilon and his people returned to their city as well as Pythia, they needed to prepare to deal with this disease, as well as find out what exactly this Mistwraith was

Rassilon was in his office looking at a screen, this screen had the data collected on the battlefield, including that of the Mistwraith and Pythia.

He stood up from his chair, thinking about what happened, looking out the window at dusk, Pythia and Hisanmi? Well that was something he didn't expect, out of his plans but he could handle it

He raised his robotic hand while pretending to hold the sun, the end is near, he can feel how reality creaks to readjust itself to please them, it has readjusted itself too many times, it all started several years ago, but lately it has been being torn apart and reassembled more often, a couple of fragmentations ago, only his city would have knowledge about quantum physics, but now there were universities where quantum physics was taught, the reason for this? an excess of magic has accumulated, slowly the primary rules have weakened, being more malleable, fiction and reality will soon stop losing what separates them, which means one thing...

"End" For every moment that passes Rassilon watches as this world falls further into chaos, he wonders how many more have ceased to exist? He didn't know, countless lives were at stake and that's why he had to do something, even if it means extinguishing every trace of magical creature so that rationality would persist.

He picked up a book but didn't open it, he hadn't opened it for many years, it was one of the pieces of the crown, the Chronorium, although time was not fixed, barely existing in a state of simultaneous probability 5 minutes after the present before there was nothing, this book was able to explain the innate function of the universe, however, the cost of using it was knowing a lot of dark secrets, forces destined to rule or destroy our world by manipulating everything from the shadows, those entities always watch.

"Or Armageddon" was a question he asked himself, was it really worth trying? What is free will? Did it really exist if every single thing he does could or could not be thrown away, every single achievement, every development, every action, the very anatomy of beings or someone's love was really real? Or was it just something the players of this cosmic game could change at will, sometimes he wondered if the architect of this was frustrated by the changes he was forced to make at the last minute, but that didn't answer the question, should he let this world die, try to save it or speed things up?

The Armageddon Sapphire is the most powerful and dangerous artefact ever created by anyone, born of Rassilon's darkest moments and representing the culmination of everything he has ever learned about the fundamental nature of reality into a single device, Forget magic, forget nukes, forget the Crown of Dreams, the Armageddon Sapphire function being the complete destruction of reality itself, agitating Higgs bosons to such an extent that the entire space-time continuum would collapse into Calabi-Yau Space, akin to a house with its foundations gone, powerful enough that would kill a God, Theoretically, the universe could eventually re-form from the nothing itself. But it would take Millillion upon Millillion of years, and would bear no resemblance to what had gone before due the Astral Realm, the mold of our reality being completely burned and blocking access to any attempt to recreate the area by external forces.

But Rassilon always stopped, he had the device to prevent everyone from being slaves by simply eliminating them at a level beyond imagination but he did not use it? Did the great Rassilon fear death? Not his own... he fears the death of his son, his greatest creation, it was for him that he decided to give it another approach, to find another way, to purge magic itself out of the cosmos, killing octillions of life but saving more.

The Sun finally set, he closed his Eyes in Harmony

The girl watched as the robot left without doing anything, she wondered what he was going to do, she hugged the scarf he had given her before leaving, he had put his hand on her head, as if she had reminded him of someone

_________________________________________________________
Rex looked in the distance at a small wooden boat that had been made, there were corpses there as he walked away, with a normal bow he shot an arrow into fire and let it go, what was left of his family was gone

Noah watched in silence as the boat went up in flames with her grandfather's corpse, it was a tradition that they had learned along the way and they thought it was best to use it with him.

There were still some work issues to be complete, the group need to move the southwest where a Volstagg was waiting for them, he knew the plan to follow, as did Rex

Deel put a hand on their shoulders to comfort them

"He is in a better place now, watching over you, trusting in you both..."

There were still some work issues to be complete, the group need to move the southwest where a Volstagg was waiting for them, he knew the plan to follow, as did Rex

"Meow we gotta have to walk some more...•sigh•....i wanna sleep when we get there"

Pointed Xordenia about more travelling

Noah nod while Rex was thoughtful, but in the end this is the present

"Meow we gotta have to walk some more...•sigh•....i wanna sleep when we get there"

Pointed Xordenia about more travelling

"Yeah.. let's get this over with, it's only a 2 kilometer walk" Rex said as he got going, he wanted to have a quiet walk until he reached the meeting area.

 

[Lou_change]

Jack stays still watching the boat. Those things tried ripping into my soul, I felt it. How could the soul have survived that? He isn't in a better place he is simply gone.

(You know what I was hoping someone respond to Jack's behavior earlier given I literally explained the expected result of the downward trajectory)

"Why?" Jack asks sitting down, "Why continue?"

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(You know what I was hoping someone respond to Jack's behavior earlier given I literally explained the expected result of the downward trajectory)

(I forgot about that, do you want me to add an answer to that in my previous post?)

"I need some peace after all that happened..."

"Meoooooow....."

They all walk to the place now without another word spelled

 

[Lou_change]

(I forgot about that, do you want me to add an answer to that in my previous post?)

(Thanks for the explanation. I think I would prefer if someone responded to Jack's question because he is going to need some convincing for him to accept an provided reasoning.)

(you mean this now and not the other? if is, well, here is)

"Why?" Jack asks sitting down, "Why continue?"

"Why continue? That's a question I've asked myself over the years... What could I or you do to change things? What could I do to stop the tyranny of the nobles from spreading? Nothing, we have no piece of crown, we have no guide, we have little information, ultimately everyone here will probably die within the next month, but that's what opens the next question." Rex turned to Jack.

"Why do nothing? Why sit back and not try? We have an idea at least of what's going on, we have warriors, not enough to take a kingdom but enough to cause a change... Ultimately this isn't a war of magic or science, it's a war of ideals, the ideal that stands is the one that will survive, because ideas are knife proof."

 

[Lou_change]

(you mean this now and not the other? if is, well, here is)

(Yeah)
"Is this world really worth protecting? How can you care about a world that cares so little for you, that hurts you over and over? Warping your best intentions into new disasters? Everything seems to keep going wrong? Are we even capable of making it better?" Jack asks.

 

[Backbackback]

(uhh, what's happening?)

 

[Backbackback]

"Is this world really worth protecting? How can you care about a world that cares so little for you, that hurts you over and over? Warping your best intentions into new disasters? Everything seems to keep going wrong? Are we even capable of making it better?" Jack asks.

"No... It won't get better." Yoshioka said, breaking the silence she held. Her face was looking down and behind, glancing at a specific Shard of Glass.

Konoe was holding Xordenia as she went into her own version of sleep, given the battery on her core was exhausted.

"It will never get better with the things we do. You all saw what I did, and I barely have told you anything I've done before I've met any of you, so I know. All I can say is this: if we can't make things better, then the best we could do is bring things back before all of this happened. And if this happens again, then we'll keep doing it again and again. Meaningless, I know, but...."

She would turn her face and look at the group, with a look not filtered on anything she had presented. Not that humble and crying Crystal Queen that Rex knew, not that Master Xordenia grew to love, or anyone that the group saw in their first meeting.

"If any of you got a better plan, you wouldn't be here to ally with me..."

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"It will never get better with the things we do. You all saw what I did, and I barely have told you anything I've done before I've met any of you, so I know.

Meaningless, I know, but...."

"What you mean with "bring things back before all of this happened and if this happens again, then we'll keep doing it again and again.", Yoshioka" Noah ask, she has a idea what she mean but want to be sure

 

[Backbackback]

"What you mean with "bring things back before all of this happened and if this happens again, then we'll keep doing it again and again.", Yoshioka" Noah ask, she has a idea what she mean but want to be sure

"Exactly as I said it is. We'll only bring things back to the way they were before the chaos occurred, before our lives were ruined, before the war started, before Pythia and Rassilon were born. We're going to kill both of them and take the Crown — and then have that Crown fix everything before destroying that too so no one gets tempted by its power."

"So your plan is to basically change history to your liking, such a change by removing them out of the equation will result in us not existing as we are now, without the investitures that is, potentially erasing our existence as whole since most of us prolly ended up being born due to their conflict"

Explains Deel in some detail what such a retcon could do against the world if altered to such extent

"I'm not saying we have to go back in time - it ain't literal. We'll just build society back to what it was. Learn from past mistakes. Stuff like that."

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"I'm not saying we have to go back in time - it ain't literal. We'll just build society back to what it was. Learn from past mistakes. Stuff like that."

"You make it sound like that" Rex says
(For real, it sound like that, i was confused)

 

[Backbackback]

"You make it sound like that" Rex says
(For real, it sound like that, i was confused)

"I'm not in the mood for debating..." Yoshioka shook her head.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

"I'm not in the mood for debating..." Yoshioka shook her head.

"Then lets not bring the topic into the conversation, we had already enough today to worry with, we need to clear our minds and just focus on the present going where we gotta be at, so lets bury that down for now"

 

[Backbackback]

"Then lets not bring the topic into the conversation, we had already enough today to worry with, we need to clear our minds and just focus on the present going where we gotta be at, so lets bury that down for now"

"As if you had more worries than I do...." Yoshioka muttered under her lips, turning around.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

"Master stop being like this, you are not a very good master at the moment by being like this"

Commented the cat when Yoshi was answering the dragon hybrid like that, thanks to her super hearing catching up on her words

 

[Backbackback]

"Master stop being like this, you are not a very good master at the moment by being like this"

"Stop being what?! I haven't gotten any answers to my questions. I've lost to an enemy I didn't get to prepare to.... and you're telling me to stop?"

Yoshioka hissed, a pained expression on her face as if she's almost in tears, yet unable to shed a single cry.

 

[Lou_change]

"You think only two people were responsible for what happened to our world?" Jack asks Yoshi, before continuing. "The world shaped them into who they are today. Nothing we know to exist is not affected by anything else. The fact the world got to this point shows how this system of interconnectedness causes so much pain, conflict, and struggle. I question how such a system should be morally allowed to exist."

I question how such a system should be morally allowed to exist."

"Shut it! As if I didn't that into account." Yoshioka shouted, "But just because they experience something means that they're not accountable for the things they've done? Well, I'd be damned, Jack! Looks like they're not the only ones who are responsible! Because I let THAT out!"

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Yoshioka hissed, a pained expression on her face as if she's almost in tears, yet unable to shed a single cry.

She got nearby her and rubs her shoulders, along making use of her aura to calm her down

"Alright master, lets not get angry meow, i believe we...uhm...learn from mistakes or something like that, lets be positive ok?"

 

[Backbackback]

Yoshioka didn't say anything else about the matter, glaring only at Deel and Jack with mo signs of even blinking.

"..."

 

[Lou_change]

"Shut it! As if I didn't that into account." Yoshioka shouted, "But just because they experience something means that they're not accountable for the things they've done? Well, I'd be damned, Jack! Looks like they're not the only ones who are responsible! Because I let THAT out!"

"Thanks for the clarification, but I didn't mean that they suffered sure they probably have at some point. I was referring to the fact that they don't work alone, that they have been enabled. They have armies and inner circles consisting of like minded people who have also been major contributors. Trying to go back to before wouldn't really fix what brought the world to this point. Also I am pretty sure that would still leave an ever growing population of mistwraiths. This leads to my current conclusion the current nature of existence is conducive to suffering. As such to rid existence of misery it would be required to either cause a fundamental alteration or one to simply get rid of existence. That said there is supposedly a counter argument, existence provides joy, that there is good worth protecting and nurturing." Jack says calmly as he stands back up.

Jack then suddenly starts laughing out of anger and sadness that can be heard from his sobbing before he starts shouting, walking around, and violently gesturing. "So, where are these magical sources of joy!? I had mine stolen and defiled? I just wanted it back for what felt like the longest time, but then I found a new one and I was happy. I had that stolen from me because I made a mistake. They tried to make sure I would never be happy again. For so long I just assumed they succeeded. I was so surprised when there seemed to be another chance at happiness I was horrified I didn't want to risk having it taken away from me, for a while I wanted to destroy it, however I was to scared give it up as well. I ended up opening up to experience this new joy, and for a time all seemed good. Then I messed up because I wasn't willing to risk losing it. I was gifted fear and hatred. I watched as my happiness had to fight to survive as it was almost destroyed again. It was left defiled by the threat of destruction. I was right to be scared!"

"You're dismissing the point and you're yapping. Don't make me kill you...." Yoshioka muttered, trying not to even buy with his half-baked ism-semantic argument.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

"You're dismissing the point and you're yapping. Don't make me kill you...." Yoshioka muttered, trying not to even buy with his half-baked nihilistic argument.

"Okay master, call down meow, calm down meow, nyoh need for threats master..."

Continues to rub her shoulders and use her aura to make her feel better

(Sorry, was busy... anyway I have two ideas to continue this, between trying to calm the situation with logic or going another way, however, choose number 1 or 2, whichever is higher vote, that will be what I do next)

(Not exactly, unless something makes me change my mind, when a winning option is chosen, I will say what would have happened if the losing option had won and if you guys argue well enough, I might change my mind to follow the other option)

 

[Lou_change]

(I have an idea I wanna do, that requires at least an attempt to de-escalate and involves illusions and Jack's backstory. But I vote for 1 with or without the illusion thing I wanna do after)

half-baked nihilistic argument.

(Jack was actually referring Antinatalism and Philosophical Pessimism. Nihilism is the idea nothing matters or has value. An argument for Nihilism wouldn't give value to morality, happiness, or suffering.)

[Lou_change]

(Well, what's the argument? I could edit the post)

(Existence is bad basically [Nihilism is existence doesn't matter]. Citing the existence of suffering and the fact he doubts the existence of significant joy it doesn't really matter I just like semantics)

 

[Backbackback]

(Existence is bad basically [Nihilism is existence doesn't matter]. Citing the existence of suffering and the fact he doubts the existence of significant joy it doesn't really matter I just like semantics)

(I could really use some with how I want Yoshioka to argue, but she's too angry to reason with for now, so it makes sense)
