Sense where other Stands are and head for the nearest one
You let out a check, and notice two Stands. Both are relatively close to you, but one is far closer, in fact, it's barely outside of your range. Immediately you begin moving towards them.
1d6 = 4
1d100 = 76
Success.
It takes you some time, but you make your way towards the closer Stand in a way that you believe should convince anyone who might have been observing that you where just as lost as everyone else. You find them on a road that is completely blocked off from you, from this direction at least, in reality, a wall of police cars set up in front of them. As expected, people are panicking, and some people are dying. It would seem, however, that your forest reached this area while you where wandering around.
The police where at least somewhat prepared, and have the civilians hunkered down in place instead of letting them run around screaming. And as you arrive, you see it. What can only be a Stand, an almost fully-covered cowboy with sepia toned everything, it seems to be investigating the trees, its hands passing through them like they would any mundane object. You can't particularly tell who it is that is controlling it. For all you know they could be ten floors up in one of the nearby buildings.
"Follow sweet children, I'll show thee the way..." you sing quietly, directing all your influence upon the Stand.
1d100 = 73-10
You don't see anything happen just yet, but as you sing, the Stand moves over, closer to someone in the crowd, floating near them.
Stick to a crowd of people as closely as possible, then bring out [A BOY NAMED SUE]. Make sure the Stand moves away from me fast enough so that nobody watching can tell it came from me. Have it interact with one of the trees, I need to know if it's a Stand.
1d6 = 5
1d100 = ?
You have ABNS reach out to try and touch one of the trees, which is quite easy, as the forest seems to approach you yet again. Though this time, the police manage to restrain the civilians around you from panicking, for the most part, and have you all hunker down in the center. Including the ones who had not been on the street.
Your Stands hand... passes through the tree. You try a couple other trees and sure enough, same thing. It would seem that these trees aren't any more or less mundane to your Stand than anything else but... something seems... off about it.
Choosing to ignore that for now, you send A Boy Named Sue off to somebody else in the crowd, hoping to mislead a potential watching foe. As you do, you hear something in your head. A song.
"Follow sweet children, I'll show thee the way..."
And as you hear that, you hear something else, movement, fast, a lot of it. Something is coming towards you from the distance, many somethings. You can hear it, you can practically feel it.
1d100 = 86-10
And soon you realize, nobody else near you does.
Fair..
Head outside to find an alley where Stronger than You can get to work.
"Chara, I want you to find some criminals and kill them, turn them into EXP if you can to strengthen us."Transform into the True Knife.
EXP: An accumulation of a SOUL, it represents the purest of energies. The more you gain, the more you LEVEL UP, and the stronger you'll be. Can be absorbed from the breaking of a SOUL.
LV 1 True Knife: The basic form of Made of LOVE. A Knife that adds all of a SOUL's Attack and Defense to the user. Capable of cutting through any defense, and at higher levels, projecting primary attacks, and secondary attacks behind the first. Colored a Light grey, for now. Bold is current Ability of True Knife at LV 1
Stronger Than Yous face broadens into a twisted, impossible smile. They laugh, no, cackle into the sky as they reach out and roughly grab your wrist. Soon enough, you feel yourself twisting, shrinking down into a plain, grey kitchen knife.
*Of course, partner.
1d100 = ?
Then suddenly, it seems like the universe has other plans. The world around them changes, buildings fading away to a dark forest, that stretches as far as the eye can see in one direction, and a dozen or so feet in the other, cutting clean through the library.
*Huh...?
Stronger Than You reaches out and touches a tree, passing through it, just like they would anything else. They decide to move deeper into the forest, assumedly whoever was causing this would be worth killing certainly, even if it wasn't actually a Stand User.
As STY moves, you feel yourself move in their hand, getting pushed out of it even though they can clearly feel you still held firmly in their grip.
Immediately, you CHECK both yourself and them
Stronger Than You - ATK ?? DEF ??
LV 99
It's me.
Frisk - ATK 4 DEF 4
LV 1
Despite everything, it's still you
As you do, their grip slips further, and you clatter to the ground without their notice. You shift yourself back to normal.
"Chara, stop playing around. Whatever this place is, it seems like it's messing with our senses."
You attempt to CHECK your surroundings. Stronger Than You squints for a moment, before reaching out and oving their hand through the air towards you. It stops suddenly.
*Interesting. Nothing has actually changed, it just looks, feels, and sounds like it has.
"Hmm... Well, all we need to do is strike the one causing this, so..."
You immediately hatch out a plan, though fail to realize by the time your done that perhaps it is not so good a plan when it takes longer to explain and reason out than to enact. You concoct the idea of a bow, which always hits its target, capable of forming arrows from nothing and striking the targets SOUL through even the most tenuous of connections
"After you've killed the creator of this place or the arrow disappears, turn me back." You say, and transform.
At the very least, you wind up as a bow. However, that's all that can really be said, that you're a bow. One decidedly lacking in arrows, and that you're not certain how well you could make use of even if you tried considering that any transformed arrow would just turn back if it got more than six feet away from you.
You continue trying, less specific this time. It takes a few attempts, winding up as a slingshot and sling along the way, but eventually you get something worthwhile. Stronger Than You pulls back the string, an arrow forming, and then looses it.
You hear a loud crash as it blows a decently sized hole through the wall in front of you. The wall that is now visible, the arrow having cleared away a decently sized cylinder of the illusion along its path.
*This will work. Time to go hunting Chara.
And the two of you move to track down the creator of this strange illusion.
We have entered
Battle Turns. Basically, in Battle Turns, instead of one big hour long turn, it's a bunch of small ones. These should progress somewhat faster than normal turns as well. You can do your action in a post or PM, doesn't matter.
Also, the last Waitlist slot has been filled.
