Jazz: Go take a nap
After paying for you three's lunch, your small group goes back to the outskirts of town to your cousin's car. After a quick talk about what to do, everyone decides you should just take the entire seat to sleep. Meanwhile, the other two are going to meander around a little and maybe do some sidequesting of themselves. After moving off all of the soda and snacks and... blunts? Where the hell did they get weed here? Whatever, questions for later. Either way, you lay flat and close your eyes. After a few minutes, you could actually feel yourself go to sleep unlike normally when you pass out like nothing. As quickly as you pass out, you feel yourself waking up again.
== Jazz: Dream
You wake and sit up slowly on the bed you find yourself on. It's a pretty comfy bed, although the colors could be better. You never liked yellow. Looking around, you notice that everything in this room is a golden yellow. As well as an almost exact copy of your room back at your house. The same posters, the same bookshelf, the same everything really. That is a little bit unnerving, but also relieving to be in a familiar setting. Well, almost familiar if it wasn't for the giant window on the right wall showing a strangely light sky. You step over to it and look outside, losing a breath seeing the amazing view of your new environment. There were several tall, yellow buildings that seem to have come from the gothic era of architecture, with the addition of three different towers next to yours. They were all basically the same, tall and skinny with a giant sphere at the top with identical windows.
You look up and instantly notice the large planet above you, most likely that 'Skaia' the Princess was talking about. It's overwhelming, but also beautiful. One of the more notable things is the clouds floating about that displayed several different scenes. There were so many you couldn't make many of them out. You are able to see what looks like your cousin and the Black Princess smoking right outside of the El Camino, there's a scene with the twins reading a book with a grey and blue swirled cover, and the most obvious one you saw was of Firyut beating an Imp to death with a stick. Looking over these, you could actually notice one cloud in particular that was clear as all day.
== Jazz: Watch the cloud
You lean out the window to get a better look at the vision. It looked to be Vlad, but instead wearing some kind of yellow pajamas. He was standing over a large glowing green lake, obviously on LoAaL, and holding two swords. Two light-blue blood covered swords. His outfit and face were also covered in the same blood, with a very large amount around his mouth. Right, Vampire's drink blood. He turned his head to look at... you. It was a version of you that was wearing a green and cyan outfit and was extremely pale. It looked like you two were talking about something, something noticeably upsetting. You both look down before you finally jump and start floating away. Vlad, on the other hand, turned all the way around to show a large pair of very bat-like wings sticking out of shoulderblades. He flaps his wings down and is thrown far into the air, going out of the cloud picture. That causes the cloud to go completely white.
== Jazz: Think about the vision
What is there to think about? You and Vlad were wearing weird pajamas and the latter was covered in blue blood. Wait a second... blue blood? Which one of the Trolls had that color text and symbol color? Let's see, Saylen had the plum, Firyut had some kind of orange, Mistuo was moss... that leaves the twins and Cavdit. Holy shit, did Vlad murder the twins? Or even worse, did he murder Cavdit? Wait, why do you think Cavdit dead was worse? You mean, he is pretty cool kind of but... Wait, no! Anyone dead would be terrible! Ok, let's deduce from the possible options. You recall Cav saying something about 'Sapphire Stre/\/ght', and to your knowledge sapphire isn't a light color blue so that means Ridams and Yttrim are dead. But, they can't be dead because you are here and Vlad is not in the game yet. And here you thought the Silver storyline in Sonic '06 was annoying and confusing. While you think about this, start to feel the window sill underneath you fall away slowly.
== Jazz: Look down
You take a look down and realise that you were leaning a little farther than you planned to while cloud watching. So much so that you have started to fall several stories. As anyone would do in this situation, you start to panic and scream with all thought leaving your mind. You forced yourself to look down where you saw the ground quickly getting larger and closer. In a moment of pure adrenaline and fear, you push out your arms and close your eyes. Doing so, you felt your body perk hard, giving you a very painful hit of whiplash. Confused and possibly even more scared than when you were falling, you reopen your eyes and see you had somehow stopped midair, roughly twenty feet from the golden floor.
You think for a second before realizing something. This place is like a dreamscape. You can float and probably do a lot of other things with some practice, making you a pseudo-god in here. You straighten yourself upright and focus, lowering yourself onto the ground. As you do, you hear a faint slow clapping come from behind you. You could feel the sarcasm right now, without even a need to talk to the unknown clapper.
== Jazz: Meet the stranger
You turn around to be greeted by a starch white person wearing some kind of mask, one that resembled a Troll but with features and horns you couldn't recognize. The mask had the normal grey of Troll skin with long, black hair falling the sides. Our of the hair were a pair of curly, almost ram-like horns. Beyond the mask, you could see a pair of crimson red eyes almost stab at you from a set of holes. The person was about your size give or take a couple inches taller, and noticeably thin, almost to a point of malnourishment. In general, this person was creepy and unnerving. They were still clapping as they picked himself off of the tower and stepped towards you.
?: Well, well, well, the Maid can fly.
?: Who would have guess?
The persons voice was incredibly gravely, nearly making you cringe with each word. It was hard, but you could tell that this person was a male through the graining voice.
?: Good, less I'd have to deliver you to your Sacramental Slab.
?: So, what finally compelled you to take a trip to Prospit?
?: Interest?
?: Just taking a nap?
?: Or did the old princess of Derse tell you to?
Jazz: uhh...
Jazz: i, uh, i'm sorry i need a second.
Jazz: first off, who are you?
?: Ah, right.
?: My apologies Miss Maid.
?: I go by Accursed.
Accursed: I already know who you are, Jazzmyne Hattie of planet Earth, player of the game SBURB, and currently residing on the Land of Acid and Rain.
Accursed: Glad to meet you.
Accursed holds out his hand to shake. Now that you can see them properly, his hands were whithered a little and pieces of skin were falling off. But, you reluctantly shake it only to feel a heavy weight as the Prospitians hand slips out of the sleeve. As anyone would do in this situation, you scream and drop it, getting a scratchy laugh out of Accursed.
Accursed: Ahahah!
Accursed: Oh, I love doing that.
Accursed: So, why you here?
Jazz: oh, uh...
Jazz: yeah, the Black Princess told me to sleep.
Jazz: find out which moon i was a dreamer of.
Jazz: and considering everything here is so bright and yellow and the clouds with Skaia, i take this is...
Accursed: Prospit!
Holy fuck. Yelling was even worse with his voice. This is going to take some time to get used to.
Accursed: Best moon in all of the Incipisphere.
Accursed: Although, since there are only two, that bar isn't really set that high, but whatever.
Accursed: It's pretty amazing.
Jazz: uhuh...
Accursed: You're still freaking out aren't ya?
Jazz: just letting everything catch up properly.
Jazz: yeah, ok, y'know what?
Jazz: i think i'm good now.
Jazz: i am good.
Jazz: so, uh... Accursed?
Jazz: cool name.
Accursed: Thanks.
Accursed: Got it for my birthday.
Jazz: oh dear lord...
Accursed: Ahahah, I love doing that.
Accursed: Look, if you want to know about it there isn't all that much.
Accursed: Found out I could curse people, started cursing people, changed my name and got a mask.
Accursed: Boom, origin story.
Accursed: Let's move on.
Jazz: well then...
Jazz: best damn origin story i've heard in a long time.
Jazz: and what do you mean curse people?
Accursed: You see my eyes?
Jazz: you mean the laser pointers in your ask?
Jazz: yes i do.
Accursed: When I curse people, they glow.
Accursed: Pretty much all there is to it.
Jazz: hmmm.
Jazz: secretive one, aren't you?
Accursed: Couldn't have gotten as far in life I had if I told the truth.
Jazz: wow, you live by that or something?
Accursed: Damn right I do.
Accursed: Pretty much my life philosophy.
Accused: Lie often so you don't die as often.
Jazz: as often?
Jazz: how many times can one person die?
Accursed: Hey, you never know.
Jazz: yeah, i kinda do.
Jazz: sometimes, very rarely, someone might get lucky and come back.
Jazz: but twice is the most i think anyone would ever live.
Jazz: any more than that is just idiotic and crazy.
Accursed: What if you die more than twice?
Jazz: please, if i die i plan on staying dead.
Jazz: i mean, what is someone just going to pull a Cinderella and bring me back to life via kiss?
Accursed: Ok, ok, I get it.
Accursed: Dying more than once is stupid and probably not going to happen.
Jazz: exactly.
