Back up? Hello challengers, it's been a while. An inscryption ask blog featuring (mostly) original scrybe ideas, you're free to join in with your ocs as well!
"Hmm, this absence has been quite the unfortunate event. Nonetheless, I will not be perturbed and have a gift as my first act of getting into the swing of things. While I would normally need a risk taken to inscrybe, the nature of the receiver has made gathering smaller risks quite easy. I hope you enjoy the gift my Dear Seer~"
Oh man, it has been a while. I meant to send this away much earlier, but my absence has left it stagnant. No worries, here is some Chance flavored madness for my friend @inscryption-new-generation
Lux, we've talked before haven't we. I do thank you heartily for the gift, and I can assure you, while i don't have too much to offer, a friend is making a return gift.
Hey, Mycologists. We've always just been calling you "Mycologists", but... do you have an actual name? Or, uh, names?
Yes, our names were Sew and Stitch, according to the OLD_DATA. Feel free to use them, or to continue calling us The Mycologists, it doesn't matter to us.
hey alexander, who was Chantel Bowlden? that card seems to show up quite often, especially first turns. (PS I may just lurk, but this ask blog is one of the coolest I've ever seen!)
Chantel was the first person on the island, other than us. Makes sense he’s always there, he had a knack for being right there when you need him
E.B leaves Alex's domain and starts making his way toward Forte's. As he approaches, he stops to look it over. It's a white and black house, small enough to not take up too much space, but large enough that it looked like it held more people than just Forte. Excited to see his old friend's new house, E.B heads inside.
As soon as he opens the door, E.B is greeted by the sound of a violin echoing throughout the house. Looking around, the house is decorated with paper cranes, paper stars, paper roses in paper vases- taking a second to feel the door again, E.B realizes the doorknob and door are made of paper too. Looks like some things never change.
Oh my! Is that- ETHAN! OH, I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU, YOUNG MAN!
In an instant, E.B is swooped up and spun around by a fancily dressed paper woman he doesn't recognize, who somehow manages to hug him without giving him cuts.
"Erm- Good to see you too, miss...?"
Oh, you and I haven't met directly before, don't worry. I am the Stage Queen, dear; one of Lady Forte's assistants. I must say, you're quite the impressive young man, managing to do all those amazing feats while having... that body structure. You're much frailer-looking than I thought you'd be.
"Uh, thanks. Back to what you were saying about Forte, where is she?"
Oh, she's in the backyard, giving my son his daily violin lesson. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you.
"Thanks."
E.B makes his way past the Stage Queen, headed towards the back of the house. Turning a corner, he accidentally bumps into another paper person, causing both the person and E.B to yelp in surprise.
Oh.... sorry.... didn't.... see you there.... Ethan.
"Oh, you know my name too?"
Of course.... Lady Forte.... talks.... about you.... a lot. And quite.... fondly.... too.
"Ah, that makes sense. So what's your name?"
I.... am.... The Conductor. Going off.... of the.... commotion.... I heard.... earlier, you.... have.... met.... The Stage Queen. She's.... my wife.
"Ah, so that means the kid out back with Forte is your son?"
Correct.... The Prodigy.... quite good.... at playing.... violin. You probably.... want to.... go.... talk to.... him and.... Lady Forte.... don't you?
"Yeah, I came here initially to say hi to Forte, but you and your wife seem nice."
Thank you.... you seem.... quite kind.... yourself. See you.... Ethan.
With that, The Conductor walks away from E.B, and going by the lovey-dovey conversation that soon starts, headed towards The Stage Queen.
E.B, seeing the backdoor, heads through it and out onto the paper patio. The view of the ocean was incredible, and E.B stops to take it in before he remembers why he came out here in the first place. Looking around, he sees Forte, helping a young boy- probably The Prodigy that The Conductor mentioned- play the violin. E.B assumes that this was the source of the music he'd heard on his way through the house.
Soon enough, The Prodigy looks up from his violin, and immediately stops playing as he notices E.B's there.
O-oh. Hi. You must be Ethan.
"Yeah, that's me. I'm guessing you're The Prodigy? Your parents spoke highly of you, ya know."
Heh. Yeah. They usually do. Would say it's embarrassing but. It's kinda nice actually.
E.B! So good to see you!
E.B is soon swept up in another large hug, but this one lasts longer, and is more gentle than the one The Stage Queen gave.
How've you been, friend?
"Hey, Forte. I'm doing pretty good! Glad to see you and your subordinates have settled in."
Yes, this place is fantastic; when I came to, this house was just... here. I think all of the assets for it were already in the code, because none of it feels "new", if that makes sense. We've settled in quite nicely.
Y-yeah. For now we're all just working on our skills so we can. Uh. Impress the first ever challenger we get. Which is fun. Stressful. But fun.
Yes, quite fun indeed. Say, speaking of challengers, Ethan...
"... Yeah?"
I'm still a bit hurt thay you decided to replace ME, of all the Scrybes. I mean, after all we've been through together!
"H-hey! I already told you, I don't plan on becoming a Scrybe!"
Haha, I'm teasing, E.B. My, you are so easy to rile up.
"Ha, very funny. Say, any changes to the Music Campaign, now that you're more settled in?"
Oh, a few, but not much. First, I've made it so you can only teach cards sigils from other cards in your deck at the tutoring node... that makes the volta incident less likely to happen.
"Volta incident?"
Oh you don't want to know. Next off, I've finally made a mechanic! I call it "Symphony". If you play cards of a similar kind, like, say, Bard Cards or Instruments, then you fill a little meter in the corner of the board somewhat. If you fill that meter fully, all your cards are free of cost. Oh, also, cards cost Measures now. Stronger card, more Measures, you get the deal.
"Ah, sounds fun. I'll have to play a friendly game with you sometime, when you're not busy."
That would be nice, E.B. Suppose you're going to go wander the island, now that you've talked to everyone?
"Yeah, I probably- wait, how did you know I'd already talked to everyone else?"
I had a feeling you'd save me for last, is all. I must thank you, for helping me reclaim my lost role in the game. In a way, all of this is yours as much as it is mine.
"Ehehe, I wouldn't say that much."
D-dude. We kind of owe you our lives. Consider this your house, too.
Yes, indeed. You can come here whenever you like, or whenever you're weary from a day's wandering. No more sleeping by the Scrybe stones, heh.
"I'll admit, I kind of miss sleeping on a bed. Thanks, you guys."
Ethan starts heading back in the house, and The Prodigy starts playing his violin again.
"Suppose I'll see you all around. Got some walking around to do. Bye."
B-bye Ethan.
Farewell, E.B.
Ethan walks back through the house, and waves bye to The Conductor and the Stage Queen, who are cuddling on the couch. They wave a small farewell back, and then E.B leaves.
He stops for a second, taking in the sound of the violin, even if it is faint from here. It's nice know his friend and her friends have found a place in the world. In a weird way, he felt proud.
He feels the worst of it's over, and that, for everyone, things would only get better from here on.
Yeah, a previous challenger, well, I say challenger, but she was more like you, just hanging out with us all. She was one of the first, and sadly fell ill after helping Kthnaid with some things. I remember he refused to leave his tower for months after that, and I think they still can’t get over her death, being they caused it and all. Kthnaid’s game became much more dull afterwards… Anyways I made her story into a card, the one you hold now. Well, that one’s a replica, the original is in a room somewhere she often stayed on the island.
All of them actually. Chantel was my first challenger, Roxanne was the first to beat me. They aren’t just mine either, Roman was the first challenger for Scu.
E.B nods along to Alex’s talking, and then pauses for a moment, wondering if he should ask the question in the back of his mind, before proceeding anyways.
“Eh, one of the two, yeah. We don’t have to worry about the second one anymore, though.”
“He’s here on the island, actually. Down in between Scu and Kthnaid’s zones. Though I’m not sure if he wants to be known all that much, if he hasn’t made an effort to say hi.”
“Ah. Yeah, apparently he’s only been able to make Nothing. Hope things work out for him.”
“Anyhoo, sorry to spring that question on you out of nowhere. I was just wondering if anyone knew he was here, since Scu hadn’t recognized the name and I, uh, forgot to ask Kthnaid.”
