*I had a cool worldbuilding/magic system idea (the two are inseperable), and a story prompt to go with it. Imagine you're a kid who has a terrible 9-5 and you daydream to get your mind off work. Then you find out that your daydreaming actually gives you powers, like minor telekinesis and summoning little thingies to help you, like a wrench when you really need it, and no one notices that you can do this stuff. But then you find out that other people have the same powers, and they are absolutely not using them for convenience, and they can see you using your powers too.*
*Congrats, kid, you are being hunted.*
*Ooh, that's a really fun idea! I love how flexible it seems! I can also imagine there being some fun twists that happen with how those daydreams affect the conjured objects or powers. Like, you know those drawing games where a person tries to draw something from memory and it comes out wonky or missing some details? I could see something like that affecting the powers in question- like, does that kid know enough about how a wrench works to create a functional one?*

*By the way, and this is for everyone: If you had to sum up Felix's vibe in brief, what would it be?*
*It's what I do man, just bein' honest.*
*Loving, kind, that sort of deal, indiscriminate care.*
*Also, do you want to take part in killing the Valentines? Or at least stopping them?*
Granny Greasegrip is coming in hot with her army of demons and undead. She rides on her skateboard in her true form, horrifying all who behold the ancient being. "Children of the Night, leave no stone atop another! Slaughter the sisters! Bring me my grandson, or I shall thrash you into froth!"
Felix is wandering the castle after having portaled in. He seems a bit lost, and a bit nervous about the approaching horde of horrors outside.

Felix is wandering the castle after having portaled in. He seems a bit lost, and a bit nervous about the approaching horde of horrors outside.
Once they reach the Layer of Greed, as well as the palace, they find it a moving maze within, and some way, Granny Greasegrip looses her army, and finds herself in a stark white room, within is Thane, broken and beaten even worse than before, puppet strings attached to his form, his axe stuck in his hand.
They hear the sound of similar laughter, and are the first to see the Valentine Sisters at the end of a hall, both of them in their true demon forms, giving them big toothy twisted grins.

"Bah!" She becomes a whirlwind of claws and necrotic energy, slashing at the strings brutally. Attack: 19 Damage: 39 Attack: 15 Damage: 50 Attack: 29 Damage: 44 Attack: 23 Damage: 62 Attack: 29 Damage: 64 Attack: 29 Damage: 41
Felix looks up at them, then sits down, looking through his pack. "So... what's up with you two?"

The strings, even though they quickly cut through, seem to reattach themselves, and they hear the Valentine's voice on "Oh it's not that easy." Thane is forced to stand up, his voice sorrowful "Granny... run..."
"Oh we are just killing everyone Sparrow cares about until he's willing to give himself up without resistance. We heard Stroth proposed, and just thought now would be the perfect time." They giggle.

"Feh." She jams her claw through his chest, shattering through his ribs and grasping around for his soul. "I have nothing to fear."
"Ah." He pulls out various sauces. "How's that going for you?"

He chuckles a bit to himself, a snide grin creeping up the side of his face. "What, think I spend my weekends down here, do you? I don't, but I still know this place better than you two, that's for sure. Tell me, have we triggered any traps since you started following me?"
KK looks absolutely done with his [1GP], growling something unintelligible under her breath.
She looks to KK before walking behind them, picking them up (Grapple:31) before slamming them into one of the hall walls "If you don't have anything to provide for us other than we will just break your neck."
*sorry about the delay*
He keeps that stupid grin on his face as all that happens. "Sorry, can't help ya much more than I have been. Nothing personal- just doing my job. I mean, I love my job, but still."
KK looks exasperated. "He's trying to waste our time." She produces a pen from her coat pocket. "Let's just stab him in the leg or something so he can't give chase and leave him." Cathcart looks back at her as if offended.
"We don't need ta, I've got it." She pulls him back before slamming them back into the wall, trying to bury them in it, or at least slow them down significantly. Strength Check:28
He is promptly shoved into the wall, leaving an almost cartoonish roughly-Cathcart-shaped hole in the wall.

“I could lay here with you forever, I would if I was just some lazy cat,” He rolls right next to her, nuzzling against her.
He hugs them back with one arm, a strong tight hug, surprisingly strong.
He gets up, laying next to her “We get married faster than nearly anyone else, we aren’t normal, don’t pretend we should be.” He kisses her passionately.
*What vibes would be good for them? I DONT KNOW!!*
"You smell good, my love." She says, petting the side of their head.
"We have to go now, okay?.."
"Antonio transforms, Domino transforms, you... bleucgh, I'm just existing..."
*Gimme like... gentle Dom in a tiny sub package.*
“As do you, a spring breeze on a pleasant afternoon, the smell of love.” They turn into a small cat.
He lets them go reluctantly “Goodbye my friends, I hope we see each other, even if not for a long time.”
“Just existing? The giant bunny woman thinks herself just existing? If you were just existing we wouldn’t be married, you’ve got a fire in you I couldn’t match with a fireball, and that’s what makes me love you.”
*I’m not sure if I’ve got that, let me think… yep, I don’t think I’ve got anybody for that yet… yet.*
She smiles, pulling him onto her chest. "Thank you, dear."
"As do I" He says, both standing up and walking away.
"I've been watered down to a mere tavern-keep! I used to... be gay and do crimes, and and kill things!..."
She smiles, pulling him onto her chest. "Thank you, dear."
"As do I" He says, both standing up and walking away.
"I've been watered down to a mere tavern-keep! I used to... be gay and do crimes, and and kill things!..."
*I shall wait.*
He wiggles gently in her arms, making tiny cat noises, rubbing up against her.
“And now you’re married to one of the most wanted people in the entire realm of heaven. Sorry I can’t make life interesting enough for you.” He shifts back to his smaller form.
*Oh, male or female btw. Or do you not have a preference.*
He sighs as his smile fades. "Don't worry, I'm not here to call you out for enjoying chocolate, and the cartels are miles from here. I made sure of it."
She shrugs. "I've been trying to take over the underworlds for centuries now. I'm a little bit bored of druggies who call me 'sweetie.'"
He doesn't respond initially, instead looking back to his figurine. He stares at it for a minute, before setting it down. "I'm sorry, but you're coming on pretty strong for me. I don't actually know you well enough to really... like you that way." (An insight check can be made here.)
"I... Just wanna buy candy..." She says, sniffling.
"Shame. " he says, taking a hit.
"You certainly have a strange way about you..." he grumbles, gesturing to the figure of himself. He sighs. "I'm sorry, this isn't me... I got some advice from some guy who runs a cafe, and I thought it would work. I don't know how I'm supposed to do this, I haven't for years and I wanna do it right. I wanna be here for you, and be the person you come to when you're upset, or sick, or just even want to talk about some idea you have. Tell me what it takes for this to happen, and I'll do it..."
Insight check: 17
*if you wanna continue, baal*
*Sure*
"And you are welcome to. Buy whatever you like. I won't stop you."
"You're very boring. How many of those do you have?"
Felix is being entirely sincere, and is somewhat confused, although he's trying not to show it. "I need to know you better. It's been what, a week since you started talking to me? Even then we haven't really talked that much. You've taken a strong liking to me even though we barely know each other, and engaging with that sort of thing hasn't been good for me in the past."
"Bah!" She becomes a whirlwind of claws and necrotic energy, slashing at the strings brutally. Attack: 28 Damage: 72 Attack: 25 Damage: 35 Attack: 26 Damage: 59 Attack: 28 Damage: 48 Attack: 18 Damage: 44 Attack: 25 Damage: 53

"Ah." He pulls out various sauces. "How's that going for you?"
“Oh it’s not about what you fear, it’s about who you’re about to fight.” The voices say, as Thane, out of his control, raises his axe, tearing his own muscles in the attempt to stop himself, blood pouring out.
“It’s going amazingly, they are all split from each other, except for Merabelle and the short one.”
He chuckles a bit to himself, a snide grin creeping up the side of his face. "What, think I spend my weekends down here, do you? I don't, but I still know this place better than you two, that's for sure. Tell me, have we triggered any traps since you started following me?"
