Role Play Room

(Oh...this might fit in with what's going on!  Go for it!)

She took the drink, but with an ashen face.

[HotelKatz]

In Keiichi's dream, Belldandy and Keiichi were back at the temple, having Breakfast. When all of a sudden, Tamiya and Otaki bursted in the room.

"Keiichi, we need you to compete in a challenge we just made with Aoshima!" Otaki said.

With a great amount of nervousness, Keiichi asked, "What did you guys agree on?"

"A Blindfolded motorcycle obstacle course!" Tamiya crowed, puffing out his chest.

Moments passed before Keiichi said, "I-I'm going to have to pass on it."

Belldandy then got up and said with tears in her eyes. "Keiichi, because you did not meet a challenge that was put before you, I am required to leave."

She then ran out the room. When Keiichi tried following her, he was unable to find her. When he checked Belldandy's room, Skuld's room, and Urd's room, all evidence of the goddesses living there was gone.

[paladin313]

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" he screamed, but then woke up in a cold sweat.

(By the way, this is challenges SHE gives him that cannot be refused, but if he doesn't recognize that...so much the better for the plot!)

[HotelKatz]

(I went back and checked, it says he has to face any challenge. There's no specification that it's just challenges from Belldandy.)

[paladin313]

(oh...that's what I gathered, but okay.)

[HotelKatz]

Urd ran to Keiichi's room and slammed open the door, looking for whever might be attacking Keiichi. When she saw no one, Urd asked, "What happened? What's going on?"

[paladin313]

He then explained what he had dreamed, and then said, "I wonder what would have happened if I refused this race?"

[Trace Carter]

"what's going on?" yawned Z, walking in, "I heard a yell."

[HotelKatz]

Urd had a slightly scared look on her face when she contemplated it..

"Probably something similar to your dream. I shudder to think that you might just be forced  to do whatever challenges that pop up in Tamiya and Otaki's heads in order to stay with Bell." Urd said.

She faced Z.

"Keiichi had a bad dream. Almost a nightmare." Urd told Z.

Wherever Hild and Malek were...

"Well, Keiichi gotten the dream." Malek said.

[Trace Carter]

Z closed his eyes, "I can sense faint traces of demonic magic in his mind," he said opening his eyes, "seems like Mom or one of her subordinates has decided to make trouble."

[paladin313]

"Hmm...let's stir up the pot.  Let's compel Tamyia and Okati to start pouring the challenges on!  Eventually, there's going to be something he just can't fulfill!"

[HotelKatz]

"Spells and hexs that do that will set off the system force. If you do want to do something that increases the likelihood of Tamiya and Otaki giving out inane challenges, suggest it to them while they're drunk off their ass. It will only increase the chances a little, but it won't set off the system force." Malek said. "Slow and steady won the race, after all."

He then created a viewing orb showing what was happening at wherever Keiichi and the others were.

"I do believe we're about to see what Heaven's reaction to finding out that a demon just used the system force to avoid detection from the goddesses." Malek said.

---

"I'm going to call Heaven and see why the System force didn't give us a small little blip to warn us that some trouble was caused here." Urd said, pulling out her cellphone and calling a number in Heaven.

[paladin313]

"Heaven here, Chrono speaking...how may I direct your call?"

[HotelKatz]

"Hey, Chrono. Why didn't the System force send out a small warning that a demon was doing something to Keiichi last night?" Urd asked.

---

'Because the dream was a warning of the downside of the new deal between Belldandy and Keiichi. Thus, it was protected by the system force, regardless of how nightmare-ish the dream was.' Malek thought with a smirk.

[paladin313]

"Well, it actually benefited him," she said, going over Yggrasil's records of the event, "It warned him of what could happen, and put him on defense for it.  However, the source was blocked.  I wonder who managed to hack the system to do that?"
