Chapter Three
When Kagome reached the outskirts of the town, she landed and walked the rest of the way. Kagome quickly found that the inhabitants were what seemed to be miniature orange dragons. They were just as small as Jaken, only while Jaken was ugly and annoying these creatures were adorable. So far, Kagome was liking the game. She approached a pair that didn't seem busy.
"This will sound strange but if it's not too much trouble could you please remind me what this world is called and tell me your local lore?" Kagome asked.
"This is the Land of Lightning and Crystals." one of them said, "Though the name isn't very apt right now as you may have noticed."
"The Denizen has thwarted the lightning to keep His inner sanctum warm as it sleeps." the other explained, "But without the lightning powering the crystals the weather is all over the place. I even hear some towns down south are suffering from blackouts too."
"Can't the crystals be fixed?" Kagome asked.
"Oh heavens no, not by the likes of us." the first one refuted, "I don't think it's even possible to do unless the Denizen wakes up and chooses to put things back the way they should be."
"But legends say that the Knight of Blaze will melt the hearts of the ice cliffs with the intensity of her fiery emotions and calm the Pools of Steam with her melodic voice and compassion." the other mentioned.
A smaller dragon came out of the building they were standing in front of and tugged on the arm of the first one. "Mama, they're sold out of lava rocks."
"Well we'll just have to come back another time then." its mother sighed.
"But I'm hungry now!" it whimpered.
Frowning as the sight pulled at her heart strings, Kagome knelt down and pulled a stray bag of fiery cheetoes that was alone in a card because she found it in the living room. "I don't have any lava rocks but will these do?"
The little dragon perked up. "Thank you so much miss! Wow, I've never seen these before! They're so colorful and tasty!"
Kagome grinned. "No problem. I'll see you later, okay?"
Kagome walked around continuing in a similar manner. But she kept getting similar results. She did however get that the game came with powers for each player. Her title was the 'Knight of Blaze', something she had mixed feelings about. Sure, she was passionate and she had a 'fiery' temper but that was such a small part of it. The smarter ones made it sound like 'Blaze' had some form of double meaning outside of just talking about fire but Kagome had absolutely no guesses. Plus, she managed to learn that music was a huge part of LOLAC and the general direction of the nearest part of her planet relevant to her personal quest. She supposed that was enough, the only things to jot down the codes for were all junk the imps had stolen from the apartment. Or from John or Rose. Speaking of, she couldn't wait to meet them face to face. Maintaining the Strider code and the poker face it required made it almost impossible to have proper friends in a conservative place like Texas.
Kagome had barely been out of the town for five minutes when she was ambushed by three of the bigger imps that were about the size of the oni that were occasionally mixed in with the many youkai she had come across in Feudal Japan. She quickly managed to behead two in a single jump and a double swing. But the last one was being cautious, clearly intending to try to kill her from a distance. Recalling the dragons' comments about the 'Knight of Blaze' and their expectations of what she and her abilities would be like, and Shipposprite's hint about having powers, Kagome sighed deeply, closed her eyes to focus inward, and took a stance that she hadn't taken even once in this life, just as a test. There was a blue light forming a familiar type of arc. Then she pulled her right hand back in the release motion. An arrow made of orange flames flew towards the giant imp and went through its eye. It roared in pain, but only the eye had been damaged. That didn't matter, though. Thanks to Bro and the martial arts lessons she had started too late into her last life for it to be any use in the quest for the jewel shards Jii-chan's tutoring to keep her from getting hurt by the weapons the shrine housed that nobody could get her to stop playing with were finally paying off. Reaching for her center again, this time she made the motion again and a shuriken made of blue flames flew all the way through its torso right where its heart was. Kagome grinned; it would seem she was close to becoming something of a pyromaniac. Or was finally figuring that little quirk of hers out, not that there was much of a difference either way. Right when she was about to bring out her rocket board again she got a notification she was being pestered- or rather trolled, in that case.

ES: That's actually something we have in common. In my last life my family lived on a shrine. My parents and brother weren't really avid worshippers but my grandfather was even the caretaker of the shrine. If you don't have something similar it means he kept the shrine, the related buildings, and the grounds the shrine were located on in good condition
ES: I was a teenager before I learned that his stories I had always taken as superstitious variations of his typical crazy talk were actually based off of things that were very real. After those chaotic adventures though I could hardly bring myself to even half heartedly pray, though. It just didn't feel right to ask for advice or help from beings that weren't very different from particularly powerful spirits when I had encountered a few of them and my friends and I were forced to either help them out of situations typical beliefs dictated they should've been able to handle alone or keep them from harming innocents
ES: It really didn't help that there were a couple that I either befriended or found turned out to be lackluster compared to my expectations of being like that. I still believed in things like deities and the afterlife, but I just couldn't really bring myself to worship or pray

ES: Honestly, I'm probably better off for it. Humans get really stupid when it comes to religion, there have been multiple wars because there a conflict of belief within one religion in a few cases and then there were the cases where different religions that worship the same god all thought the other religions worshipped that god wrong... Or something like that, I'm not really sure. The most infamous war in history was one where the political group in charge of one country killed millions of men, women, and children just because they were a specific religion the man in charge of said political group didn't like

The Japanese did some really screwed up things too but at least that was just national pride exaggerated into arrogance and attempt at conquest instead of hatred and discrimination. Honestly so far I'm liking how you sound like true to your faith without prioritizing it above your friends

After collecting the grist, Kagome jumped onto her rocket board and was speeding off. It didn't take long until she came across a noteworthy location. One of the cliffs typical to mesas was interspersed with the crystals. One particular cluster of crystals was emitting red sparks, indicating that the lightning essential to powering them was stuck. The cliff was a range of bright blues and that peculiar shade that always seemed to vary in whether it appeared to be blue, purple, or blue violet; however there were spots where a color that was definitely blue violet showed through. The most peculiar thing, though, was that Kagome realized that it was cold to the touch, far colder than the actual temperature or weather could explain. And the bluer the spot she checked the colder the stone face of the mesa got. It didn't take a genius to guess that this was one of the spots where Kagome was supposed to attempt to sort out the power problem as a personal quest.
Knowing that someone would pester her if she was needed for something of a more far reaching importance, Kagome explored the mesa and more particularly the cliff face. Right above the crystal cluster was a strange pictographic writing system Kagome automatically understood- 'the flow of power changes with the flow of the melody'. Not far off at the bottom of the cliff was a cave. The same writing was about it with the words 'tune chamber'. Just then Kagome noticed some blue that seemed more natural and briefly shined purple with the light of the trapped lightning's sparks. There were jade like flowers with luminescent blue stems which either naturally grew or were planted so that when viewed from above or the right ground-level angle they formed musical notes. Recalling how rpgs often worked Kagome took a picture of it. She found another at the top of the mesa and one growing out of the cliff side itself and took pictures of those groups of flowers as well. Then she entered the cave, stowing her rocket board back in her sylladex.
The moment she was back on the ground she was attacked by more imps. Retrieving one of her scythes Kagome made quick work of them, and noticed that the ones that looked different gave different kinds of grist. Once in the cave she found that the inside was totally iced over. Not even the ground was an exception barring almost metallic seeming silver tiles with music notes on them. Trial and error quickly found that stepping on the wrong note would shock you. After figuring thinking things through, Kagome determined which flower notes were the ones she needed based off of which starting tiles had or hadn't shocked her. There was a lavender colored stone xylophone carved into the wall. Above it were instructions: 'To activate the crystals' connection or redirect the power's flow you follow along to discover the correct melody.' There were natural yellow stone formations that seemed completely hollow, and upon looking closer beneath the iced over tops was some sort of green liquid. The ice acting like a cover kept fogging up, and Kagome could tell that the steam would've hit the xylophone without the ice. After a flaming scythe and fireballs made with her newfound powers didn't work, she tried the xylophone. After a few minutes of frustration it became apparent that each note would only play when the vat in front of it emitted steam- or would have, given the circumstances. Once she figured out the melody something amazing happened at the same time that she realized the tune didn't fit either remaining set of notes. The ice started to weaken, and bits of steam weakly hit a couple of the notes. She played the tune two more times on the xylophone without results before she noticed that a compartment of sorts had opened up revealing a blue ocarina. The moment Kagome started messing around with it the cave gave a weak glow. Seeing what was going on, Kagome messed around until she had memorized how playing the note you wanted worked and proceeded to play the tune from the xylophone. The glow immediately began to get stronger, and after she had played the tune three times the echo of the melody multiplied and with a flash the glow and the ice were gone.
Kagome only had a moment to feel triumphant before she got trolled.

I have no idea if any of the others even know, I'll have to check Rose's walkthrough and talk to Jade.

electricSunset is an idle chum
Checking Rose's walkthrough proved useless and alarming. It also disappeared right when Kagome finished reading it. Alarmed, she checked in with Rose. Rose kept the conversation short, and nothing she said reassured Kagome. Quite the contrary, she was now very worried about her friend. Checking in with Jade proved useless too, she was still getting her hands on a copy of the game so that John could save her.
ES: Okay, Rose has officially gone off the deep end. Got any suggestings Sollux
TA: About all IIve got you need to be on your planet for iis a power up. Other than that untiil the other human2 let you iin on theiir plan2 about all there ii2 to do ii2 collect gri2t and to hang out wiith the other2.

ES: What do you mean
TA: 2hiit, you human2 really don't know anythiing about the game do you. Don't an2wer that iit wa2 rhetoriical. To go godtiier you need to fiind your que2t bed... and diie on iit. You wake up iin your dream 2elf'2 body.

ES: And Sollux? Thank you for being honest. Most people wouldn't mention it, whether because they feel awkward or guilty or because they don't want you to change your mind
TA: No problem. And turn half way to your left
ES: So... to kill time what's your idea of a good time when you're not playing a not-just-a-game or helping girls with their own session of that game
TA: II watch moviie2 2ometiime2 but mo2stly II wriite code2 and play viideogame2.
ES: Awesome, what do you play
TA: II mo2tly play fiir2t per2on 2hooter2 and pvp game2 but the Fiinal Fanta2y and Kiingdom Heart2 2eriie2 are my per2onal favoriite2.

ES: I'm going to check on the poor guy later, I think I might've brought up bad memories :-(
TG: wait whos sollux is he one of the trolls

Kagome landed on a stone bed-like platform. It was yellow with a huge symbol that resembled a flame carved into it. She lied down on the Quest Bed- and fell asleep. When she woke up she was in a copy of her room wearing a yellow night gown. Outside everything was the shame shade of yellow... and there were what Kagome could only describe as crystal clouds. She saw things that already happened, things she didn't understand, and she saw Bro... He was fighting some black being on Dave's planet LOHAC. Based off of the white chess piece like people on the streets below where she was, Kagome guessed that he was form Derse. Then, she saw the present- her normal body sleeping on a stone bed located at the top of a hill on LOLAC. A black figure in a suite who looked vaguely like the imps approached her sleeping body and shot her through the head. There was a sensation of pain, and blood was blurring her vision. The cloud showed her corpse floating within a pillar of yellow light, then with a flash Kagome was wearing yellow pajamas with the symbol from the quest bed in orange, a yellow cape, and blue sneakers.
'So this is godtier.' Kagome mused as she discovered that she still had her sylladex, 'Let's see, while I still have some privacy...'
With a little focusing, Kagome shifted back into the nightgown. Taking out her foldable suitcase, she quickly changed into jeans, put on a plain black long sleeved shirt, and then put her favorite butterfly T-shirt she had started the day in back on over it. Then she shifted back into her godtier. Kagome went over to her desk, pulling a mirror out of a drawer. Upon noticing her face and ears were normal and she didn't even have animal ears, a tail, or wings she pouted. But Kagome didn't dwell on it for long, instead deciding to check on Dave again before she went looking for John. After all, she was going to meet her new friends face to face no matter what and if there was nothing for her to do she saw no reason to stay where she was.

TG: you dont need to do that im good
TG: terezi has me upheaving lohacs economy. im making myself filthy rich yo like stop the presses and call the local news station theyll even have to cancel the lottery when im through

Kagome quickly flew out of the window. As she headed to the only planet with a color scheme that matched Dave's description suddenly there was a sound akin to an explosion or stone shattering behind her. Looking back she saw she had escaped in the nick of time. Prospit's moon had been reduced to rubble, bits of what she assumed to be stone, earth, and metal falling towards Skaia. Turning back towards her destination, she continued on her way. It wouldn't be a good idea to get caught up in whatever was happening. On her way to Dave's planet she pestered John to warn him to expect her.
electricSunset [ES] began pestering ectoBiologist [EB]
ES: Hey, John are you still on your planet? After I've checked on Dave I'm going to come see you
EB: oh hey kagome! i'm somewhere really neat, almost everything is white and blue.
EB: there's a lot of yellow wreckage from some yellow place though. jade's dream self died saving me. :(
ES: You mean... Skaia, I think it's called? Or the battlefield? I'm not sure which term is right
ES: Maybe both. Anyway I'm pretty sure that yellow place that got destroyed was called Prospit... I'd just woken up there maybe half an hour ago. Luckily I was already on my way to LOHAC
EB: lohac?
ES: The Land of Heat and Clockwork, Dave's planet
EB: oh. anyway it'd be cool to catch up. we can explore this place together
EB: have you seen rose's planet yet? it was really bright. she was asleep when i got to her house though.
ES: That sounds like fun. It's probably a good idea, too. From what I hear it has to do with what the final stage of the game should have been if we'd had a normal session
EB: i guess so! rose even asked me to get something called The Tumor for her, i think its some kind of bomb?
ES: ... Oh, yes. Her plan to create a mix between the 'bad cop' persona and a rampage to force a solution out of whatever forces are at work. I tried talking to her not that long ago but she was saying some pretty worrying things
EB: i see what you mean, if she keeps it up she's going to go all grimdark.
ES: Really, John, "grimdark"
EB: well it fits doesn't it?
ES: *rolls eyes* I guess you're right. Anyway I'm there, ttyl

EB: okay kagome, have fun!
It was time to find Dave. They had some catching up to do. And she should probably make sure he'd eaten something besides Doritos. Knowing him he'd skipped lunch or been too distracted to eat something that was actually more substantial than chips before the game started. She also intended to ask for details on whoever this 'Terezi' was.
