[hider=0]The battle was over. Twenty three corpses littered the myriad floors of Babel Rook. The doors at the top easily opened, revealing a space that the victor did not hesitate to enter. White, uninterrupted and unchanging; touched with a writhing sliver of black at its center.

[color=778899]"So, we once again meet at The End. You are truly a terrible foe, are you not?"[/color]
 
[hider=1][b]1[/b] [[color=4169E1]Yes, I am. They could not escape justice. Their errors have been corrected.[/color]][/hider]

[hider=2][b]2[/b] [[color=FF69B4]N-no I...just want to...go home.[/color]][/hider]

[hider=3][b]3[/b] [[color=BC8F8F]Hahaha! Ha! Hahaha! Yes! Fuck all of you![/color]][/hider]

[hider=4][b]4[/b] [[color=ADFF2F]Why do you keep bringing me back?! What the hell is wrong with you?![/color]][/hider]

[hider=5][b]5[/b] [[color=BA55D3]This is The End? Interesting. Tell me, why did my friends have to die for me to come here.[/color]][/hider]

[hider=6][b]6[/b] [[color=FFD700]...[/color]][/hider]

 [color=778899]"Did it ever truly matter [i]why[/i] you chose to climb the tower? Think on that for a moment. Then you will receive your boon. As I'm sure is expected. Your wish awaits you. The Genesis Egg awaits you."[/color] The sliver of darkness widened like a sinister grin, stretching to form a bizarre crescent that pulsed and seethed with a seemingly miasmic aura.

 [hider=1b][b]1b[/b] [[color=4169E1]Of course it matters. Don't ask such frivolous things. Had I not set my sights on returning to this room, I would have faltered in my quest. Set the world right, again. I wish to return to three weeks prior to this incarnation of this event.[/color]][/hider]

[hider=2b][b]2b[/b] [[color=FF69B4]Huh? I...don't really know. Was there ever any other choice? Did you ever [i]give[/i] us another choice? A wish...? Really?! Ok! I want everyone to come back and for nobody to remember any of this![/color]][/hider]

[hider=3b][b]3b[/b] [[color=BC8F8F]You always say the same boring things, don'tcha? Well, I gotta say that it's a bit of a letdown. I thought we was friends. Fine, though, I'll use the Egg again. This time...whaddya say we up the stakes a little bit?[/color]][/hider]

[hider=4b][b]4b[/b] [[color=ADFF2F]Goddamnit! I just want it to stop! I want [i]you[/i] to stop! I want the Babel Rook to be destroyed, and you along with it![/color]][/hider]

Well, ok, that was a fair amount of struggling to set up something that could have been relatively straightforward in presentation. I don't know, though, it seemed like a good way to stage something. Thanks for taking a look. I know some parts are missing, but I'll be providing them in a different post to stop my fight with basic formatting for a minute. I kind of just wanted to do something off-the-cuff and this was the first idea I felt I could really roll with. It ended up taking longer than I thought...

Anyway. [s]The parts I'll be adding are the remainder of [b]5b[/b] and [b]6b[/b]. Those will go up soon and I'm sorry about how weird it'll be.[/s]

As you might've inferred; each Hour has made their way to the top of Babel Rook, a giant tower in which they participated in a cruel game, and upon victory met with some sort of god-entity in an empty Collapsed Space. This entity offered them a wish, which they took...without fail. This wish creates a new world with broad strokes painted from the victor's intent...without fail. In this new world, inevitably, the Babel Rook will appear again.

The weird part about it, though, is that I kind of want a consensus on which Hour will be setting the stage for our particular world's incarnation. If people want me to provide ideas of what each character is all about, I'd be willing to do so in a mini-CS...or outright set it up to where the Victorious Hours are all set against one another, leaving them up to the players. Though, really, I think it might be more interesting to do the former. I have it figured that the Victorious Hour will be set to appear, again, in this new iteration; though they may not always be the same person, they will always be forced to participate.

So, yeah! That's what I've got going on for that, at least on the surface level. This is set to be a part of a much larger universe.  Which means that I have a lot of material to work with, at least in terms of base systemic overlays and lore-based references; meaning that I have a structure in mind and everything else is kind of to-be-determined as we go. Lore-based references will probably be kept to a minimum, for a while. It's easier that way, I think, than having to write out a lot of the stuff that will constitute spoilers. 

I'm sure there will be questions, if interest is piqued somewhere. Feel free to PM me them, or post here.


As a note: This was copied from the other Interest Check I did, hence the awful formatting. Sorry.

[hider=Edits and Adds]
1: [[color=4169E1]I corrected some issues that had been left lingering. No error can escape justice.[/color]]
2: [[color=FF69B4]I'm pretty sure I made the grammar a little better...[/color]]
3: [[color=BC8F8F]There's a fucking 'Anime/Manga' tag, now. Because group size ain't a thing to worry about.[/color]]
4: [[color=ADFF2F]Oh, yeah. I guess that part was left out? The whole thing about "putting up the finished 5b and 6b". Well, whatever, it's there now...even if it is only an extra line or two.[/color]]
5: [[color=BA55D3]A laudable effort to provide accessible information in a rather poor situation, is it not? Five-b and Six-b are now complete and added, albeit in the incorrect spot.[/color]]
6: [[color=FFD700]...The title and tags needed fixing. ...[/color]][/hider]
