All right.

Re: ❧ discussion

Then let's start with the truths we can handle.

"Once upon a time, a girl called into the storybook many heroes who would help her restore the world, fighting against the Darkness that crept and consumed."

The best lies have the truth as you know it as their backbone.

Hm.

Then "These heroes would guide the knights that came after them, to play in the personae's games and revitalize all of Aather."?

whoops hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here lol

[dirtdevil]

Better than I could do.

Re: whoops hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here lol

[outstandingbalance]

Seems like the truth as I know it.

Re: whoops hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here lol

[dissorder]

. . . right. . . and so. . .

It was a normal day when the heroes arrived, to brighten and bring joy to the world.

I don't really know, should the "story" be progressing or staying on the same topic?

Re: whoops hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here lol

[outstandingbalance]

It wouldn't be much of a story if it didn't progress at all.

[dirtdevil]

Are we really supposed to be bringing joy to the world?

[ because if so, whoops. ]

[outstandingbalance]

If we are, no one told me.

[dissorder]

Feel free to fill it in with something else.

[dirtdevil]

I'm more concerned with the next part. I don't know anything about how this place was before people started magically appearing.

[dissorder]

Just make it up.

[outstandingbalance]

That's pretty much it. Go with what you know... fill in there rest.

[dirtdevil]

For this world knew only darkness and... chaos, creatures that crept in the night and.

Shadows?

[ bullshitting intensifies. this is turning into a horror story ]

[outstandingbalance]

A conflict appears.

[dirtdevil]

All stories must have both light and dark, after all.

[ ...curses under his breath ]

This makes zero sense.

[outstandingbalance]

It doesn't have to make sense. It just has to seem plausible.

[dirtdevil]

[ sighs in annoyance and then continues ]

As the heroes and knights settled into Aather, so did the Personae begin to be ripped from the pages of their stories. But all was not well—with the seeds of change came... I don't know, strife?

[ guess whose first game is not going well ]

[outstandingbalance]

Alright, strife.

Whose world was this, really? Why were the heroes here? Where were their skills and their memories, and why could they not leave? Why should they help and be entangled in what was not their fight?

[dirtdevil]

Isn't that the question.
