+ Now I've Nothing Left to Give +

Who: Everyone
Where: What's left of Wonderland
When: Beginning on 1/5
Rating: PG-13 to be safe, warn if going higher
Summary: Welcome to end game.
The Story:

Every part of the Mansion is gone except for parts of the first floor and on 1/5, the lights go out. The stairs go nowhere, and everything looks distinctly abandoned and dark. We suggest you find your loved ones, and stay close to them. This might be it. Maybe you’ll really die here.

Later that same day, the first floor begins to crumble away. Gravity is gone, and everyone rises into the void. There are probably tears and goodbyes. Maybe even conversations of when they’ll have to start eating each other to survive.

But then, there is a bright flash of light. A familiar light to anyone who has dealt with the Core before. It washes over everyone and suddenly you are somewhere else. Maybe you’re even someone else.

Everyone will find themselves in dream-like versions of pother worlds; memories from the absolute bottom of Wonderland’s barrel. These are things it has been sitting on for decades that it threw out there so everyone would have a place to land and finally get some food and water. Maybe your character finds themself having a drink at the Cantina from Star Wars with the Cantina Band on repeat until the end of time. Maybe your character is a magical person who traded their soul for the ability to fight witches. Maybe you just really, really wanted a Harry Potter AU one more time. Almost anything is fair game!

These will truly feel like dreams due to the fact that Dream Side is no longer a separate place in Wonderland, meaning that it will be relatively easy for characters to snap out of their respective AUs if needed, though some characters will naturally be better at that than others. There will be weak points in the events where people can slip back out into the black void, where they will see hundreds of little wisps of events in pale rainbow colors. They can travel into any of these to try and recover their friends. Anyone who went missing when the mansion started disappearing can be found here. Sometimes, if no one is in an event, its light will go out. It is unclear how long Wonderland can truly sustain this.

Go forth and break free from events one last time! And it might be a good idea to figure out how the heck you’ll get out of this one alive.

Please post a top level for each event with the relevant details (what you might see on the bulletin board) so that others can come play in the events you've created! We will also put up a top level specific to the void for anyone who wants to thread their characters in between the different event wisps.

Here is the info post for this log, along with it's FAQ and a few event suggestions.

Ange is glad that she has control over where the stakes go flying, considering she wouldn't want one to accidentally drive itself into Steven now he's so close to the witch's familiars. It'd be terribly ironic if she killed him right after fussing about him potentially being killed by a witch for being too softhearted..

But since she's making sure they don't fly too close to Steven, it's all going fine. Most of the creatures are going down through their combined efforts.

"The main one has got to be in the direction of where all these small fry are coming from!"

She means the witch, but that word is still missing from her memories, no matter that she isn't exactly her usual self right now.

It's one way to add stakes to the battle!

After driving off some more of the small creatures, ge glances towards the Sandbox Witch, before looking back towards Ange.

"Right! We... We have to stop that one!" He pauses with a frown. "Do... you have a plan?"
entreats: (she'll find someone to need her)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-15 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, if she happens to be literally made of sand, it really would have helped if we had someone here with water powers who could conjure up a literal water cannon."

It's mostly meant in a serious way, but with Ange's dry tone it almost sounds like it could have been a deadpan joke too..

"But since it's just the two of us, we'll have to make do. Let's get past these things and see what the situation back there is first."
agemofchange: (coy)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-15 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then this would really be a wash!" He gives a weak laugh, trying to bring the hint of a light-hearted vibe.

If they're going to work on getting closer, Steven proceeds to conjure a pink shield that's facing down, making it more like a floating shield. And it's large enough to fit two.

"Alright then, Ange. Need a ride?"
entreats: but better is no excuse for tonight (so you almost feel better)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-16 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, riding that thing seems highly reckless. It's like something some teenagers may do in a wild movie.

But regardless of that thought going through Ange's head, she gets up on it anyway, right behind Steven. They're fighting something that could literally kill them in one blow if they're not paying attention, so the risk of breaking her neck on this is probably nothing compared to that.

"Should I be holding onto something?" She's never done this before!
agemofchange: (shield surf)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-16 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't their lives a wild movie? At least Steven seems to know what he's doing.

"Just hold onto your horses! Or grab onto my shoulders if you feel like you're losing your balance? I do really wish my powers came with safety belts, but don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Here we goooo!"

With that, he propels the shield forward! It slides quickly across a variety of surfaces, even hopping into the air sometimes, as it dodges around the little creatures and makes its way closet to the Sand Witch!
entreats: (when i woke up this morning)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-16 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
At first Ange does reach out to Steven's shoulders, but after the shield starts moving she realises it's actually managable. It's not like Ange hasn't had some wild rides before while trying to make her way through various witches' domains, after all. So she steadies once they're moving all over the place.

She doesn't hop off it until they're close enough to be near the sand witch. Ange looks like she's ready to fight, but then she actually looks at the witch, and..

.. well, sure, the witch is big and all, but she's just sitting there trying to make - what looks like - a sandcastle. It's not exactly the most intimidating thing ever.

"What is she doing?" It's not like she can't see what the witch is doing, it's more of a why this kind of question, really.
agemofchange: (completely lost)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-16 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
After tbat extensive sequence, they come to a stop! The shield dissipates as they look towards the witch. Steven frowns thoughtfully in the process of assessing the situation.

"It... looks like she's just building a sand castle." He remarks with a raised eyebrows. "It's not a bad one, too! She's pretty talented. Is... she even hurting anyone?" There's almost a note of hope in his voice.
entreats: (and you could say just how you feel)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-16 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"She's got to be, somehow. People have been disappearing recently."

And from Ange's experience, the reason for disappearances in those numbers is always a witch lurking somewhere around. So even though this one doesn't seem too dangerous at the moment, there's got to be some sort of catch to it.

"Maybe she's been burying them."
agemofchange: (downcast)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-17 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Steven's crestfallen as Ange brings it up, and he gulps at the possibility. "R-right."

The sandcastle looks so innocent! But he doesn't want to see what the foundation's like. He scratches at the back of his head, and he very hesitantly continues speaking.

"...She... really seems focused on that sand castle. Like... like her guard is down..." He lets that hint of a suggestion just hang there in the air, even if he's not proud of it.
entreats: (it makes you feel hollow)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-18 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
The emotion in that statement is pretty obvious. He doesn't exactly sound excited at the opportunity, after all, and with what Steven told her before Ange also understands why he sounds like that about it.

She pauses for a moment. The right thing to do here would be to both start attacking the witch while it hasn't noticed it yet, and hope the combination of their strength is enough to do it in immediately. That'd keep them both out of danger. But..

It feels wrong to make Steven do something his heart isn't into. Even though Ange feels dumb for thinking something so kind. When did she let her dumb heart get weak?

".. it's fine. I can finish her by myself." It's a lot more dangerous. And much less practical. But whatever. "You can go if you want to."
agemofchange: (serious steven)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-18 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be an easy out, to just leave it all to Ange.

But then, what would be the point of having become a Magical Boy in the first place?

He shakes his head firmly. "I'm not going anywhere without you, Ange. I'm gonna stay until the end. I... I'll cover your back and make sure things go well." He hopes he can do that much at least.
entreats: (are supposed to be the truth)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-18 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay."

She says it slowly and nods. If he's decided he wants to stay, she isn't going to argue with him that he should leave. It is his own decision in the end, after all.

"Then I'll go in first."

Her voice is fairly emotionless, like she doesn't have any problems with killing this witch. Instead she just opens up the big tome she's carrying with her again, running towards the witch. "Come forth, the seven sisters of purgatory!" As she shouts, the stakes appear in the air again. But this time there's seven of them, and larger than the ones she used on the witch's familiars. They all shoot through the air, drilling themselves into the witch one by one.
agemofchange: (say waht)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-18 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven watches uneasily as she goes into action. His breathing is unsteady, and he can barely stomach the sight, wincing as the stakes are driven into the witch.

But at the same time, things happen. Tears appear in the dimension slowly, and Steven finds himself blinking uncertainly as he looks at the witch.

"Why... why isn't she poofing?" Because that's what happens to corrupted Gems when they're hit enough, right? Steven rubs at his eyes, as he starts feeling more disoriented.
entreats: but better is no excuse for tonight (so you almost feel better)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-18 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Poofing?

Ange was watching the monster, making sure it stayed down and didn't get back up to attack them.. but then that word Steven uses draws her full attention instead. What does he even mean? Since when do any of these things 'poof'?

It's weird, but suddenly she feels much less concerned with the creature she just got rid of, like its constant present danger in her life is fading from her mind. She turns her back on the deflated thing, instead looking at Steven.

".. What do you mean?"
agemofchange: (wince)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-19 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Poofing..." He grips at his head, glancing towards the rifts as memories flash in his mind.

"We have to poof them, bubble their gems, a-and send them away until they can be healed. That's... the mission of the Crystal Gems!"
entreats: (when i woke up this morning)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-19 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"The Crystal Gems..?" That's definitely not something from here. It's not something from this world, she finds herself thinking, wondering where that thought came from.

But before she can even ponder that thought much more, another one comes to her, much stronger than it. Almost overwhelming. She doesn't even realise that it's forcing its way out of her mouth--

"This isn't real."

The rifts seem to tear away the dimension around them, until there's only black void.
agemofchange: (No don't!)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-20 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
And suddenly, that whole life fades away. And with him, so does Steven's magical girl outfit, leaving him in his usual combination of blue t-shirt, jeans and pink jacket. He clutches his head as he adjusts to the change.

"Wh-whoa. That... what just happened?"
entreats: (it makes you feel hollow)

[personal profile] entreats 2020-01-20 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The same happens to Ange - after a moment she's just standing there in her regular outfit again as well. And while usually she'd be pretty glad to be rid of the frills, right now her brain is more busy with trying to catch up to what's happening.

She sighs. Her head feels like it's still spinning.

"It feels like that one time during Christmas. People being stuck in.. something almost like little bubbles of dimensions. While there's nothing around it." But more importantly-- "I didn't remember anything about all of this back there."
agemofchange: (unsure)

[personal profile] agemofchange 2020-01-21 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
After a moment of silence while he tried to recollect his thoughts, he breathed out a simple, "Yeah." Then after a pause, he added, "It was like I was living a completely different life. I always liked the idea of being a magical boy, but... not like that."
