when your world runs on stories

[likescats]

[Death has decided it might be wise to share some things.]

I THINK WE SHOULD BE KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR THIS DARK WIZARD THE ....NEWS KEEPS TALKING ABOUT. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO BELIEVED THEY WERE PART OF THIS WORLD AND IT APPEARS THE WIZARD WAS STOPPED BY A GROUP OF CHILDREN.

I HAPPEN TO HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO ....WORLDS WITH ADVENTURES, HEROES AND DARK LORDS.

THE DARK LORDS DO NOT ALWAYS STAY DEAD. ...IT'S REALLY QUITE ANNOYING. ...BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.

SO ....A DARK LORD...OR WIZARD. A CHOSEN ONE...OR POSSIBLY A FEW THIS TIME.....IF A PROPHECY OR A MAGICAL IMPLEMENT OF SOME SORT SHOW I UP I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED EITHER. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO KEEP WATCH FOR ALL OF THESE THOUGH.

EITHER WAY, I DO NOT THINK THINGS WILL BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY IN THIS TOURNAMENT.

Tournaments are pretty prime times for things to go horribly wrong, yeah. Especially when magic is involved!

...only there's so much of it here, it's pretty hard to tell who's going to be the one that gets targeted... There isn't even anyone who has a hairstyle that's super unique to stand out...

Oh dear.

How do we usually identify a chosen one?

[Please don't say birthmarks. That would be a little awkward.]

At least our troubles seem to be in-genre rather than horrific and eldritch here, knock on wood. The Dark Lord sounds malicious but fairly local in scale, and the magic here is self-contained enough that it doesn't attract things from outside this dimension.

Also hi, sorry I missed check-in, I was Infiltrated at the time. Thorne pulled me back to myself. I'm Madoka, I fought outsider cults in my homeworld, AMA.

I wouldn't be surprised. It seems pretty similar to some stories I know from back home. I'll have to do some sneaking around and seeing if I can find out some information.

It looks like this place is decently modern by the standards of my world, so I should be able to handle things better than if we were somewhere totally unfamiliar...
