Anyone else get a horrific welcome to Sburb? I mean, worse than the usual. I did. I had two PKs and a runaway Jack Noir on my first session. Thinking about it, it's probably the Witch of Rain's fault, though considerable blame must go to the Waste of Blood and the Others.
So, the session STARTED normally. There was me (Sylph of Hope), the Waste of Blood (who was never quite right in the head), the Witch of Rain (worst title ever IMO), a Seer of Space (self-titled “Queen of the Frogs”), a Prince of Doom (only sane man), and a Rogue of Time (Ms “Let's Blow Up Derse's Moon”). While we got the Rogue under control (even the Witch thought that was dumb), the others – not so much.
The problem begins with the Witch. She was nice, but she was a clown. Literally – she worked in a circus and everything. Anyway, you know how Witches prototype really stupid stuff? And how Rain tends towards outrageous stunts? Aye, she self-prototyped. Jack Noir went on the loose. Luckily, he got locked up in a Dersite prison by the Queen.
Anyway, the self-prototype caused loads of problems. Including the Waste having to repeatedly kill his girlfriend. That was such a cute relationship. Two people who just wanted to watch the world burn... But it didn't end well. The Waste went on a rampage and killed a load of Dersites. And the Rogue's dreamself. He then busted JN out of prison and they went on a murder spree.
Their first target was the Witch. Luckily, the Others had warned her. That was really weird – they really, really LIKED her. Apparently they mothered her a bit. She died, but she'd warned me to get her to her Quest Bed. That was how we discovered Ascending. It was quite something!
So then the pair of happy lil' murderers permakilled the Prince and Seer. I got the pendants, but it was still HORRIFYING. Ahhhh. I then came up with a novel if idiotic plan to overload the Waste with raw unflitered hope. The idea was to make him so happy and joyful that he wouldn't fight back. Well, it worked... Ish...
Aye, it got the Waste killed at the hands of the Witch. And then she was able to hand Jack back over to Derse. But I kind of died. Hooray for corpsesmooches and crypts! But thing was, in order to get Jack to Derse, the Witch had to go there during an eclipse. I think she'd already been corrupted by that point, but when it got to that...
I had to kill my friend. And then I had to fight the Black King alone. I mean, I had [Hope Flies Alone] and all that junk. It was still a nightmare. It was still the hardest thing I have ever done. It still ripped me open. But I won, aye?
And then I saw the Replay icon on the Ultimate Reward.
I need a drink.
