CIRRUS

[livestage]

You find yourself in an ornate library.

Now, the library itself isn't huge or grand, it is just a singular room. However, there are plenty of books from ceiling to floor. The books look somewhat old, or at least nothing like what you'd see in modern times, but many of them look well worn and loved, read thousand of times over most likely.

There's plenty of space for those who are tall, and yet it still feels cozy somehow. It's still compact, obviously meant to keep up to 3-4 people comfortably (7-8 will work but it's a little tighter!), but the odd part is that there's still enough light pouring through the window to make it feel refreshing and airy. You can breathe easy in here.

Light? Yes, the large window in the back seems to lead to a yard. The only way out seems to be unlocking it, but the keyhole to the window will not open.

There are places to sit and several books of fairytales, stories, and legends you have certainly NEVER heard of. Some appear ancient and some seem brand new, but no matter the age of the book, there is a bookmark in each one left on a random page inside of the book.

On the wall across from the bookshelves are older portraits, those with a keen eye will recognize the Showmaster in them (and for the newer folk, it looks like the passed out lady weird), but much, much younger. The photos are definitely within the range of somewhere between the toddler years to around 10 years old. They seem to be family photos, her standing with adults and other children her age that resemble her features.

There is also a black cat with purple eyes staring at you.

Please toplevel to this thread every new question, do not combine them, it's just easier for me to track.

I will run this until Sunday or Monday evening, depending on how the vibes go.

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[mykidisthebest]

What's the name of the cat?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[socialcapital]

Are you the Showmaster's brother?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[socialcapital]

Also, are you the ocean?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[endsjustified]

How do we help the Showmaster recover?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[endsjustified]

Why haven’t you made yourself known until now?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[mykidisthebest]

What does the Showmaster means when she says 'The End'? Is it a physical place, or a specific outcome that will change her or the world?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[endsjustified]

What is your ideal outcome from this whole mess?

[ was going to let eugene ask the questions for him but got impatient ]

Why are ghosts of our families still hanging around?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[endsjustified]

So how do we help you rest?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[mykidisthebest]

--Hey! Wait! Are you the one who was giving the Ticketmaster our visions after performances?!

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[endsjustified]

[man]

And how do we free you from the ocean?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[socialcapital]

Are we getting visions so that we can remember "our stories" and make them "exist"?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[endsjustified]

How do we get at your bindings to the ocean, then?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[socialcapital]

What does retrieving our 'stories' do, from your point of view?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[endsjustified]

I am sorry to hear that such tests happened to you on that scale.

But…the key to our immortality is our Legends, isn’t it — the ones who are bound to us, whose visions we regain little by little. Did the Awoken never discover the existence of those?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[mykidisthebest]

If you're the one who was giving the Ticketmaster our visions after performances, does that also mean you're responsible for people having amnesia?

Re: SUBMIT ALL QUESTIONS HERE

[socialcapital]

This one is stupid but I have to rule it out. Is the Showmaster alive or is she like the ghosts?

[CAT!!!

Brad is crouching down and offering his hand out to the cat.]

Hey there buddy. I wish I could turn into a cat right now, but we might need my magic later.

[ TWO QUESTIONS IN ]

Okay maybe this is not a rapid-fire questions situation. Maybe this is a situation that we carefully decide what info we need.

[mykidisthebest]

Really? But there isn't a limit on the number of questions we can ask...
