feytality | [catchall for nier drakengard]

Oh... I see.... [ she thought he was just left out of camping or something ]

Well, you can make up for it now! With all the staples of camping! First things first... s'mores.

S'mores. [ Must be what these are called. Well, they're delicious. ] And ghost stories around the fire, right?

[ That part he actually knows. ]

Wow, you really know your stuff!

[ she's impressed. ]

That's exactly right. Know any ghost stories?

[ why is she impressed stop ]

I have regular stories... If you have actual ghost stories, you can start us off properly.

[ she's easily impressed and he seems ye olde ]

Well... to be honest, I'm curious to hear one of your stories.

[ STOP LOOKING AT HIM LIKE HE'S A ZOO ANIMAL IN AN EXHIBIT ]

Okay, uhm. [ He has to think. ] Pick one: forest or ship.

[ the wild nier..... no she's just very easily distracted and impressed ]

Forest!

[ fuck ships ]

It's not that spooky, but... There's a village north of mine and they live in the forest. It's called the Forest of Myth. I was searching for something there and found out that the villagers were stuck in their dreams.

[ FUCK SHIPS. NIGHTMARES INSTEAD. ]

[ that's rough buddy ]

Wow.. that is spooky..... I mean, I guess if it's a nice dream, it's not so bad? But still....

[ Oh, she thinks it’s spooky. Well, he guesses it is? ]

The disease that they had was called “Deathdream,” so I don’t know about that...

... Okay, that's bad.

[ it is spooky yes ]

Was there any way to wake them up?

Yeah. You had to enter each villagers’ dream and rescue them. That’s how you’d cure the disease.

[ Based on Nier’s expression, he has No Fucking Clue what’s going on and this is his story. ]

It was really weird because when you enter the dreams, you’re taken to... I guess you can call it a world of words. It’s just words. All of your actions were written in words.

[ Basically, they got sucked into prose land. Dreams are in prose. ]

[ i'm glad he has no idea what's going on ]

Huh.... I guess... it's kind of like a dream journal?

[ it's nothing like that, maya ]

So didja have to have a word battle to save everyone?

A journal where you jot down your dreams? That kind of fits.

[ actually, it is like that, Maya. ]

For the most part, yeah, like a written adventure. In one dream, this woman was locked away in the castle's basement. I couldn't see anything since we were just written words at the time, but it was flooding.

We were given options to go in cardinal directions. Like go north, go west, go south, or go east.

[ cyoa ]

Which would you have picked?

[ wow she's right... ooc ]

Oooh.... it's like a choose your own adventure kind of thing....

[ maya ponders ]

I think I would have gone north. Usually central areas are that way, right? So... you could get an idea of where everything is.

[ sometimes you're right about stupid things and that's ic enough ]

That's right. It'd be north... It was kind of freaky since the words described skeletons sitting at this long dining hall with spikes that ran through them.

[ the most painful of buttplugs. ]

[ hei why are you sending me such cursed tags ]

Yeesh! Were the chairs booby trapped or something? That's one deadly dinner party...

[ it's true horror now ]

Not sure. The castle was already like that and we didn't encounter anyone else in it? It's a dream, so it doesn't need to make sense... I think that's how it works.

All I know was the water from nowhere was rising.
