THE LAST REQUIEM↴ CY-Ren's planning of a charity concert has been well received - news of bomb threats and harassment from fans have painted her as a victim in the media spotlight, and her generous attempt to make amends is getting plenty of attention. She's been busy spinning things for as much focus as possible, and the threat of potential danger has the news focusing in on the proceedings. The date is set for Day 27 in carnival time. You won't want to miss it! ► BUILD UP: In the last couple days before the concert, CY-Ren will be reaching out to all of her Harbingers, regardless of where they might be at the time - yes, this means that even if you ran off, she'll come to find you! (Unless you're in the carnival like Taako, then you're fucked.) She'll tell you that her plans are coming to head, and that if you help her with one last task then the planet will be on its way to destruction. There are multiple ways you can aid her: you can help amp up her performance as evil backup singers/musicians, or you can set yourself up around the perimeter at specified locations, using your sparks as a beacon to her magic. She's certain that she's perfected her musical formula, this time - when the concert gets underway, all those present with the capacity to be a Harbinger will awaken, and the end of days will begin. ► THE CONCERT: By the time the concert arrives, the Star Guardians will have the idea that there's something unnatural about the way the new Harbingers were made - this isn't how it usually happens, and that sets them apart from someone like CY-Ren. Maybe that means that they can be pulled away with less drastic measures as well, given that the Void didn't have the full right to their souls in the first place. Anyone coming to help (and those who aren't Star Guardians will be encouraged to come as well, given that if they are making attempts at friendship, super powers aren't required) will gather in the area early, determined to stomp this one out before it can get too far. ► HARBINGERS: This is when they will be encountered by Harbingers guarding the perimeter, as well as a small army of void creatures defending CY-Ren's last performance. Star Guardians will become aware through the power of Creation that the Harbingers on the perimeter must be neutralized in order to disrupt the concert - CY-Ren is feeding on their negative energies, and it will make it too dangerous to attack her directly. Confrontations with any Harbingers can be worked out on an individual basis via plotting - just make up a location around the concert and have your Harbinger providing a beacon of their own design. As the concert ramps up, however, the excess of Void energy will cause the newly made Harbingers to destabilize - mentally or magically, their powers will be harder to control, and their negative emotions will be running wild. However, with that instability, there is also room for a breakthrough - for someone to blast the darkness from their Sparks with friendship and light. Now is the time to reach out. ► STAR GUARDIANS: If a Harbinger is successfully turned away from the darkness, they will briefly regain control of their Sparks, and be able to manifest as a Star Guardian for the first time. This will allow the Guardians to outnumber CY-Ren's forces. Their look and powers will still be based around the same Spark, but purified by Creation and aimed towards positive things. Time to win. ► DANCE OFF: Given that the Spark of Music and the Spark of Dance are colliding, it is perhaps not a surprise that this all manifests as a big ass musical number. As CY-Ren and Noa have a music battle, everyone present (even if you aren't a Star Guardian) will find themselves magically inspired to join in. You can dance, sing, or anything in between - the more people who support Noa's side, the stronger she will be. There will be a megathread for this part of the conflict, and at this point any unturned Harbingers will awaken and be able to turn their Sparks towards the light. As CY-Ren begins to lose power, what the players do with her will be up to you. |

"No, creators are those who make you for a purpose. They don't make you to give you life like Humans do," he says with some conviction. Humans came in all shapes and sizes with different greed levels. This was no different.
He twirls the chicken feather in his fingertips with a light flick of his thumb against the base. No, he's not giving it back now. "I cannot answer that. Every human is different and some never do." Some even feel they have no worth but that is a little dark.
no subject
Well, okay, that's fair. Humans are fascinating because of their sheer diversity, after all. 9S corrects himself, "How do you find worth in your life?"
Goodbye, dear feather. 9S will miss it terribly. (He won't.)
no subject
But that's an interesting question and 9S may notice the way he thinks it over for once instead of actually just instantly responding. His worth? That was a tricky question, "I enjoy life to the fullest no matter the interaction or response I receive from those around me. Good food, good company. A woman on occasion with the right type of incentive. The friends I make along the way despite the fact they will all die long before I do." He hums lightly as the energy in the atmosphere starts to pick up and he gestures with a hand as that feather gets another flick or two, "I love to travel as well," and to murder, torture, and thrive in bloodshed. "It is our experiences that don't make it worth the while. It is if we choose to let them or not. I also find worth in my family and sometimes when I feel I have done enough, a good nap satisfies me.
I think, that when my time does come, if I've lived a good and enjoyable life it'll be worth it."
no subject
Heat rushes to 9S' cheeks when Tyki alludes to sex in his reply, but he quickly refocuses on the rest of Tyki's response.
Tapping his chin, 9S says thoughtfully, "So... you find worth in your personal happiness?" It's selfish but not unreasonable. Humans are made of all sorts, after all. "Do you ever get bored? You said you would live for a long time..."
no subject
"And the happiness of my family," he half corrects. His own pleasure was something so deeply formed within him down to the very core. "So far I haven't. I have a lot to do in my spare time and I enjoy every moment given to me."
no subject
Family... Androids don't have families. But his Operator had been deeply interested in human families, though he hadn't understood why at the time. At first, he hadn't really understood Yuya's explanation, either. But... he thinks he understands, now.
"Do you think you could still be happy if you didn't have your family?"
no subject
"No," he says flatly. "Had I never met them, sure? But now that I've experienced them, know them, and would feel them die every time we lose one, the answer is no. Always no."
no subject
It's hard to have one's happiness determined by the life of another. But, he supposes, it makes things more fulfilling than being alone.
Being alone...
He couldn't go back to living that way. That's why... the thought of losing 2B had hurt so much.
"Well, I hope you don't have to feel the pain of losing any more of your family after you return home."
no subject
It's why if this is all going to go to hell, he wants a front row seat.
"That's something he would say if he was here," but then Allen was one to likely be a result of one of their deaths. "Thank you, boy."
no subject
But he's completely blindsided by the thanks. 9S blinks, before he responds. "Oh. Um. You're welcome?" But he can't resist asking, "Who's the 'he'?"
no subject
"Just an enemy of my world. Don't worry about it. It doesn't concern you and your likely 'kind hearted humans'." Technically Allen wasn't bad but all of the humans on his world were going to die.
no subject
"If you say so..." Well, the showdown's going to get underway soon, so... "Anyway, I'd better do a check on the systems before things really get started. I'll see you later, Tyki."
no subject
"If it was that important I would tell you," except it is a half lie on his end. It's not important to 9S or shouldn't be, "Have fun with your... 'systems'. Don't play with them too long~"
