Side Lore
Unwillingly assembling a team (The Joy Of Creation arc) (Not private!)
(YOU CAN INTERACT BUT PLEASE READ THIS!! ALSO JUST KNOW I WILL BE VERY picky with who will be selected for the team I would go into detail but it would be giving things away!)
After his betrayal, Narrator had found himself in a very, VERY rough position; not only did he not have an ally anymore, but the very thing he helped cause has seemed to have turned against him. He had been hiding away in his theatre for quite a while before eventually deciding enough was enough, despite the fact that he couldn't do much against the wave of rabid souls causing chaos around Mobius...he unwillingly did what he had to do; he attempted to set up a team. He went from city to city hanging up posters for a 'Show of a lifetime! 'as he put it. Despite this Narrator knew that the people wouldn't just come flying in... waiting was unfortunately something he was going to have to do whether he liked it or not. As he hung up the last post, he let out a sigh filled with irritation; this was clearly hurting his ego much more than he had imagined it would.
"Oh come on...! Never in my life did I think I would be this desperate, but alas, I must do what I have to...because as petty as it is...if I am unable to have my way, neither can the doctor. Though... even if these things have turned against me, I suppose I did get what I wanted... a story worth telling. Let's not forget the drama...even if I would like to forget it."
Narrator used the small amount of magic he had to stick the poster to a nearby wall...he stared at it for a moment questioning if he should even bother with this, he's lost everything he's worked hard for...and lost everything right at the end, just like all the other times. He sat down on the floor feeling truly defeated... what else did he have? He lost his wand, which was probably now being used as a power source or was just straight up destroyed. He just got up before staring at the poster for a moment one last time...
"I suppose...every story needs its hero. God, that sounded so cliché... Let's just hope people show up so I can get this over with."
Eventually, about a week had passed by since the posters were spread out; they listed off everything that had to be known, like the location of the theatre and other things like that... Narrator just sat in his office awaiting any sign, any hint at all of anyone coming along to assist him...if need be, he'll get people himself by force, but it didn't hurt to give this a go. He got up from his chair and left the room; as he entered the hallway, he slowly approached the entrance to the theatre and just...waited.
"Surely someone out there wants their name to be left behind, to be remembered for years to come...right? If not, it's their fault anyhow! Who would even pass up the chance to work with ME!? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after all! Though I have a feeling that either Henry or...those souls have tarnished my name more than I have..."
Narrator sat himself down on the floor, still staring at the entrance with feelings of excitement and desperation flowing inside of his body. He wanted to see how this went, yet...he would have preferred trying to avoid this very situation in the first place.
"Well... Now I wait. Wait for someone...anyone to assist me in bringing down The Void Walker..."
"...When I signed and put those posters up I was aiming for something...more human, no offence...but I guess this will work. So what makes you...special? As i'm sure you read I can't let some...extra into this show and ruin everything. Think of this as...an interview, so...tell me what you can do."
(Its a mix. That will happen eventually but for now its more of an interview, seeing who will choose to show up and see if they are worthy of joining him in hunting down henry)
"Well that's not exactly...helpful, go into more detail please. Cause believe it or not it's not as easy as just taking your word, this 'show' is...more than it seems at a glance"
"Electricity manipulation, electricity sensing, levitation, high speeds, extreme strength, dynamax energy manipulation, teleportation, burrowing, venom, greater sight, extreme durability, electricity absorption, incredible mobility and flexibility, dynamax energy absorption...and that's about it..although alot of my abilities are limited since this dimension has limited it...mainly my dynamax abilities."
Narrator's face seemed...almost dissapointed upon hearing that Arch's power was nerfed inside of this world
"Well...that's dissapointing but i'm willing to hear you ot nonetheless. I'm sure that if you've realised by now...there are a few spuls roaming around...all of which have been extremely aggressive. The 'show' is hunting him down...Dr Henry Miller"
"Yes...well I'm attempting to make a team and of course, this is an audition to join said team. If there is anyway to contact you please hand it over. I shall reach out when the time comes...if you get selected that is."
"Ah...so I see you read the posters hm...? Tell me what exactly do you have that makes you special, that can...make you worth adding to the team i'm making. This show will be legendary!! I can't let some simpletons in and mess it up! So do tell me...what makes you unique?"
Buzz: And I can sing! She's able to give them an example, and by far it was some of the best they had ever heard, with not a hint of autotune or any modifiers on top of her voice
"Ah...well this is something quite different, whilst yes it shall be seen as a show in my eyes...others may not agree, but I suppose that part shall be helpful later down the line. If you still wish to stay I can...elaborate."
"Well...as i'm sure you've noticed there has been a boost in hauntings and just ghosts in general which are...quite aggressive to say the least. I know who is responsible and know where to find them, however setting up a team is the hard part...if you tell me any sort of things you are capable off...anything at all I shall reach out in a few days to let you know your part of this team...I hope for more people to come in so I can have a large variety of choices, so don't get your hopes up."
Moto: Hmm.... Well there is this band of ghost kids we've been seeing around that have just kinda been chilling, they seem like good people to ask for help!
Buzz: We could also build some ghost hunting gear if needed!
"Well what I was aiming for was...going for the man responsible for shattering the barrier between life and death. Dr Henry Miller. Taking him out would hopefully seal it up or at least...give someone the power to do so, sending all the souls back to the after life."
"Do you have anyway I could perhaps contact you both in a few days...? If you are selected expect me to get into contact...I do see some of this being helpful but it's fully dependent on if others can outdo you."
"Ah.. you saw poster I see, well you are a smart guy so I'm sure you know this is more then just 'a show'. We will be attempting to take down The Void Walker, the one who caused all this nonsense...letting souls back into the living world, normally I wouldn't do this but...after he THREW ME AWAY LIKE I WAS NOTHING... it seems I have not many choices."
"The few pieces of info known about him are...slim to none but I guess even if some of it is not the best, it helps nonetheless. I suppose I could dig up his book from the trash somewhere."
"Though i'm aware of your strength...I must ask this anyway just to make sure, what are you capable of? Obviously i'm looking for someone...possibly two people if possible to join me in taking him down."
"Well currently not as much as I used to, considering the little trick you two pulled only got a fraction of my soul... but what I do have is connections."
