In the Dark;

[thalassino]

And then that morning, some of the kidnapped in Somarium and some of the kidnapped in Vatheon found themselves again drawn to another location, another world, perhaps. They would wake up, scattered amongst the ruins, Vatheon architecture colliding with Somarium’s in a decrepit, mismatched way.

Those originating from Somarium might recognize the castle that had once been in the sky from the shadowy corridors. Those from Vatheon will surely see hints of the church in the columns and the curving doorways.

But regardless, it seems somehow they are now inside--and they are trapped there.

Opening doors leads to more shadowy corridors, monsters of rotting fish and shadowy, deadly noctaere. Some parts of the flooring are rotting as well, crumbling underneath the slightest of weight to reveal dark, cold, black water beneath.

Watch your step in this strange place--it seems to be hostile. Thankfully, it looks like you’ve got help, and from another world.

--

Welcome welcome Sommunists and Vatheonites to the crossover portion of this week!

As the signal post above indicates, everyone will be arriving in a mix-matched setting apart from Vatheon and Somarium which resembles a mash up of the Church and the Floating Castle, only now they’re trapped inside. All SFCs and Dreamberries appear to be missing as well. Everything will be face-to-face interaction here, but thankfully that’s not hard, as everyone is trapped in the same place. They will no longer be in Somarium or Vatheon, so you cannot post or tag things in game from 4/28 to 4/29. ICly that is how long the crossover will last, though backtagging is always acceptable and encouraged! Watch out for the monsters, and feel free to post and mingle around!

Please use this format to title your thread, so people can know what to tag:

More information can be found, again, at the plotting post, and questions can be asked here!

Most of all, have fun!

[demonicbookworm]

Ah, i-if you don't mind... I'd rather to go with you...

_{[Ruca is able to fight, but he really doesn't want to be alone here.]}

[soulsymmetrical]

[gives him a reassuring smile.]

I don't mind at all, and it's better this way.

What skills or abilities do you have?

[always one to think tactically and strategize.]

[demonicbookworm]

Thank you...

_{[he hesitates before answering the question.]}

Ah, I... know how to use a sword. _{[well, obviously. Why else would he be carrying that sword around.]} ...I can use fire magic, too.

[soulsymmetrical]

Fire magic? Really?

[cannot help but be intrigued.]

[demonicbookworm]

Yes...

_{[Suddenly Ruca regrets a little he mentioned that. Maybe it was a bad thing to be able to use magic?]}

[soulsymmetrical]

[perhaps another time, but Kid has long since accepted that magic can be used by people other than witches and not all witches are bad.

instead he'll be thoughtfully musing.]

That may actually be quite effective against the fish creatures...how exactly does your magic work?

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca nods. When he fought zombies in his world, they weakness was fire.]}

Um... I need to cast the spell. The stronger the spell the more time is necessary to cast it. But... _{[he hesitates.]} Most of the spells I know are too powerful... It wouldn't be safe to use them here.

[soulsymmetrical]

[small nod.]

Hopefully we won't be needing such advanced spells regardless. But if you do need time, I'll be able to provide back-up to help delay them.

[though really he hopes they don't run into much trouble if any at all.]

[demonicbookworm]

Thank you, but I think it might be better if I focus on fighting with sword.

_{[he has a few fire skills, too.]}

[soulsymmetrical]

That works just as well.

[he holds up his guns.]

Regardless I can provide support due to my long range.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Seeing the guns, Ruca smiles a bit.]}

You use two guns? That's just like one of my friends.

[soulsymmetrical]

[curious!]

Really?

[also it's probably best if they start walking, huh? let's get a move on, partner.]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[following you.]}

Yes. She's really amazing. She almost never misses her target...

_{[ah Iria. He misses her so much~]}

[soulsymmetrical]

That's quite impressive. I wouldn't mind meeting her if I ever had the chance. [fellow gunman—and uses two guns! how could he not respect that?]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[if you only knew that she's a quick-tempered, mean and greedy redhead...]}

I'm sure she would like to meet you... if she only were in Somarium. _{[because fellow gunman.]}

[soulsymmetrical]

[....that's okay.]

That is the dilemma. [carefully peering around a corner before walking down the next hall.] On the one hand you'd like your friends to be with you, but on the other you don't want them subjected to the whims of the world.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca is just following, sometimes looking around.]}

You're right... I miss my friends a lot, but I guess it's better that they're not here.

[soulsymmetrical]

And more specifically here...wherever "here" is.

This labyrinth rivals the underground levels of Shibusen...

[demonicbookworm]

Yeah...

_{[now, a bit curious.]}

What's Shibusen?

[soulsymmetrical]

Shibusen is the name of the school my father runs to train meisters and weapons.

[...well. looks like he has to explain a little of his world. very quick explanation go.]

Back home souls hold great importance and it is our job to protect the innocents from being consumed by those who have been corrupted. We are also tasked to execute the corrupted souls because if left alone they could turn into a powerful force of evil and wreak havoc and chaos onto the world.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca nods.]}

I see... But... um, it's a school to train meisters and weapons...?

_{[that would mean the weapons are alive, right? Now, that seems familiar. Ruca knew two... well, three sentient weapons.]}

[soulsymmetrical]

That's correct.

There are those who can transform into a weapon form and meisters are those with strong souls and ability who can wield them. Weapons are stronger than the average weapon, and combined the meister and weapon are more powerful than the average fighter with a standard weapon. That is because a meister and weapon can resonate their souls with one another, thus increasing their strength and ability.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca ponder over those words, muttering to himself:]} A soul is what makes a weapon stronger... The god of smithery Vulcan believed in that, too...

_{[Ruca shakes his head.]}

Ah, a-anyway, thank you for explaining this to me.

[soulsymmetrical]

[he caught a few words, but did not pry too much.]

No problem. It's usually hard to explain one thing without talking about the rest, so I apologize for the lengthy explanation.

[demonicbookworm]

Oh, don't worry about that! I'd love to hear more about your world actually, but... I guess it's not exactly the right place or time for that.
