"A million times I have done this charade. The moment people figure it out, I get the boot." she thought.
"But don't you want to see the fear in their eyes when they see who you really are...? Don't you want dominion of this place, just like how you were unchallenged in Vaal Kastrix?" said the Voice.
Ciara scoffed, immediately thinking of Gulliver and Valen. "I'd love to wipe the smirk off their faces."
"It starts by building a rumor. A rumor of power. This could be the place to start."
She took a deep breath, narrowing her eyes resolutely at the Undermage. "Head Advisor, with all due respect, you have no right to ask me about my intentions. If you want answers..."
She stood from her seat, rising to her full height.
Her breath caught when she felt the cold metal of a pistol against her temple.
"Put the heart down, and back the hell up if you want your friend to live," the guard said to Ellie in a rumbling baritone, digging the gun into Dream's head.
Dream squinted at Ellie, vision blurred as she tried to breathe. The heart, glinting in Ellie's hands.
The doctor, his face turning white every time she asked what would happen if they failed. Above all else, he said, they had to keep the heart safe. They had to, even if it meant...
She snarled, her boot stamping down on the guard's foot, a burst of light bruising the bone. He yelped, losing his grip. That's all she needed, and she tore away. But in her haste, she saw his free arm reaching for her, and she slipped on panicked feet as he pushed her off the railing.
She held back a scream, staring straight down into the boiling pit below. The guard wrapped a tight hand around her ankle, and Ellie could see Dream's other foot flailing; she restrained herself poorly from kicking the guard, desperately hoping she wouldn't die.
As her captor supported himself against the railing, his pistol pointed at Ellie.
Deep, golden orbs stared back at her from within the cave.
God, she couldn't breathe.
He was monstrous. The ground trembled under her feet as his rippling, massive body exited the cave. Thunderous footsteps left cracks in the dirt, his breath sent waves of heat creeping over her skin. The transformation was slow, but it looked like something from a nightmare with the way his long teeth were bared.
A great and terrible roar sounded from his gaping maw.
@Little Bird Yes. I was actually planning on declaring my districts sooner than later so as to avoid doubling. So yes, if you have a district you fancy, list it here so we avoid doubling.
Regardless, district names can be changed while keeping the integrity of the description the same, so I'm not too anxious. :)
I'm considering whether I have the time to dedicate to this, but I do have a character concept I think would work well. Another question if you don't mind, @Estylwen. Would it be possible to play a double or triple agent? I realize it might not be very conducive with the way acquiring wealth is laid out, but I think it would be fun. Maybe it would still work by choosing a 'faction' so to speak just for mechanic purposes?
We're at a post a week, and there's no minimum on the length, just a few paragraphs is fine. :)
I think that's a great idea! I would send you your Wealth to your secret district via PM, in the 0th post we would just call it a paycheck.
Time to get writing.
Question before I start, is there any... particular art themes/aesthetics to stay away from and safe for use?
That's a great question! Yes, Anime/Manga aesthetics are good. And The God Father aesthetics are always right on par with Nocturnia's vision. Example clip below, it has mafia, cops, the whole bit:
Painted art, realistic art, photo face claims are all good. Besides that, not really any restrictions. If you have a concept/artpiece you want to run by me, you're more than welcome to PM me.
