ONLY ALWAYS

[Dreamlike indeed. Sunny thinks he can see something in the distance, shapeless and colorful. There's music playing...

[He points, looking over at Caitlyn as if to get her attention merely with his eyes.]

[Attention caught. Followed. It's so… bright.

[As if sleepwalking, Caitlyn's back on her feet, facing that odd grassy landscape. ?!]

It’s familiar to you? [One must imagine a deeply confused talksprite.]

sadpoem: Omori (m52)

are you ready for this?

[Omori nods. Onward, he declares with a flip of his knife. Hey... Where'd he get that knife?

[He begins to march. Follow the leader?]]

[She thought she was talking to a child. Now she is absolutely interacting with a child, and a… monochrome one, at that. With a knife.

[One must imagine a very, very confused talksprite (stage 2). Nonetheless: Caitlyn joins the party! (High Heart, abysmal Juice. Equipped with a Rifle (Missing is a long shot.) and Kiramman Key (For locking up monsters.))

[She does not remember carrying either of these items, a second ago.]

All this is yours. [More a statement than a question. He’s certainly acting like it.]

[Omori nods, swinging his knife around in front of him as he walks. They near what appears to be a park. There are various inhabitants, none of which look quite human, but some of which look an awful lot like people Caitlyn knows. Curious...]

[Oh, well, that’s just unnerving. (As though the rest of this hasn’t been.) A bright blue monkey-girl swings around the bars, and Caitlyn keeps her hands off her rifle but not her eyes off the metal. Running in circles around this off-kilter display is a two-headed dog, paws red and black reaching for that loose blue tail.

[They never make contact. After a few seconds it becomes apparent the motions cycle, and neither are paying attention to anyone else. Around and around they go…

[Meanwhile, a new inhabitant has a sidequest. Large fella, bearded and squarish, leaning on an upside-down hammer. Go talk to him?]

[Omori leads the way. Right before they reach the large, bearded fellow, though, Omori steps to the side, back, and to the side again in a little square. Caitlyn is now in the lead.]

[Wh—? She watches this little square-step, wonders if he might be playing some kind of… what, prank? Children.

[But Caitlyn is in the lead, which means it’s her responsibility to talk to people and figure things out. So she turns back to the hammer-man, clears her throat, and—]

The Other Jay: Have fun while you can. The world isn’t meant to survive this fight.
Caitlyn: —Excuse me?
The Other Jay: I made a promise. I failed him. Maybe you can succeed where I haven’t.
Caitlyn: Ah, are you related to Jayce? What’s your cryptic talk about—?

Quest Obtained: A prize to perfection? (Kill ??? robots.)

The Other Jay: There are countless…
Caitlyn: . . .
