Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications


i.Main Street

Main Street has settled in for January, but there are still Christmas Decorations here and there to liven things up a little bit. Feel free to shop, mingle with the locals or explore the castle grounds.

Though after hours there are still some shadows that venture into the streets. Not everything here is as peaceful as it seems, and it’s best to defeat the corroded trespassers before they cause trouble.

ii. Cookie Overload

Do you like free cookies? Of course! Everyone does. After the Christmas Rush, there are plenty to go around, available only after the sun goes down to any hungry passerby. There are cookies of all styles and flavors. But watch out for the dreader sriracha cookie. It will make you breathe fire in three flavors and gives a bit of heartburn after, but the aftertaste will leave you craving more.


iii. The Eighth Wonder of the World
Now that the jungle has been purified, Apprentices can wander through to explore all the things the jungle has to offer. Take a (still somewhat shambly) riverboat and explore the river, or come to chat and trade with the villagers. (Shrunken heads, two for one special!) But beware. Even though the jungle is purified, it’s not a safe place. In this kingdom of animals, someone is always hungry.


iv. Pin It On Them
Some smugglers are hanging around the outskirts of New Orleans, selling dubious looking items from even more dubious looking bags. Do you buy from them? Haggle? Steal? (not recommended) Or quietly try to alert any sort of authority (good luck) The choice is yours.


v. Battle Mesa Gate
While the jungle may be purified, many other Kingdoms are still seething with corrosion. Erstwhile Apprentices will find such corrosion on the banks of the Rivers of America, right where the jungle river joins in. Fight corroded creatures on the shore and in the water and be careful, they are stronger than they look and cleverer than they seem.

Priss S. Asagiri | Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040

I. Main Street

Priss wasn't exactly happy about being stuck in another world. Especially a world that feels like she walked in on some American historical reenactment. She wasn't one to have all the latest tech, hell she lived in a trailer with the basics back home, but she misses her motorcycle. Horse drawn carriages where definitely not her thing.

At least there were no boomers or AD Police around. She would be very surprised if a berserk robot started rampaging here and a bunch of incompetent cops started chasing after it. She wasn't sure if she would laugh at the sight or not.

For now, it was night and she was just wondering the streets, looking for something to do. "Damn. Is there at least a bar or club around here?"

V. Battle Mesa Gate

And these must be the Corroded that the old man told her about. In away they weren't that much different from the rogue boomers of her world. Only they had a lot less metal bits. And here she was, without her hardsuit. At least she had a metal staff though, which she swung quite hard at the creature's head. Behind her there were a couple of civilians who got caught a little too close to the action. She looked over her shoulder to see them.

"What are you idiots doing!?" She yelled at them. "Get the Hell out of here!" Of course this leaves her open for the Corroded that she was fighting to get up and get ready to strike her.

Richie's just finished up a shift busking in front of the Penny Arcade, telling jokes and testing his new material on the patrons as they wander home with their arms full of cheap prizes from the token counter. One of them had gifted him with a cheap plastic ring and he'd tucked it into the open buttonhole at the collar of his dress shirt. When she spoke up, he turned and grinned.

"Lookin' for the night life, huh? There isn't much, but the Red Wagon's got a hell of a bartender."

[no_wing_knight]

Priss looked over to the weird guy who answered her. She wasn't really asking anyone in particular, but hey. At least he is being nice?

"'Red Wagon' huh? Sounds like a place for little kids." The image of a couple of kids playing with an old fashion toy wagon came to mind. "But beggars can't be choosers and right now I'm begging for a good beer."

[trashylittlesecret]

"You'd think so, but it's actually pretty sharp, go figure." He shrugged. "It's about three blocks that way, and the bartender usually has at least one thing on tap for cheap for Apprentices."

"If you have time to yell at them spend it watching your flank!" Mal called a she threw an apple at the corroded that had been heading for Priss. It didn't do much damage, but then it wasn't meant to. It was meant to get their attention.

"Make it now and do it right," she said, reading quickly from her spell book. "Cure them and restore them to the light!" She held the book to her chest and gestured with a finger, a green trail following as she did, her eyes lit green as the spell was cast. The corroded jerked with each swing of her finger, then collapsed a moment before rising as what it had been before the curse. She took a deep breath. "Well that's one down," she said, her eyes taking their normal colour. And she winced, moving closer to the woman. "And something like a hundred to go."

[no_wing_knight]

"I knew it was there." Though she wasn't going to say if she was going to get it before it got her though. Chances were she wasn't going to make it in time.

She gave a low whistle at the sight of the spell and the sight of the corroded turning back into a some animal that runs off. "Nice light show." She said as she rests the staff on her shoulder. "Almost as flashy as the lights when I'm on stage."

[mal_contented]

"You too, huh?" Yeah, Mal wasn't thinking about how big a stage Priss meant. "Tell you what, we get out of this, I'll introduce you to Sylvando." She dodged another blow. "I can purify them but only oner at a time. You can cover my back?"
