SIGNUPS
The Palace will begin OOCly tomorrow, September 14th at 2PM EST. You may sign up before then, or at any point during the Palace! I will be around all day tomorrow and Sunday, and I am hoping to wrap up by Monday late night EST at the latest, due to my timezone. However, I am not opposed to taking a few more days to wrap up if need be.

CHAPTER ONE (CW: Themes involving starvation/hunger)
[ Yeah, you sure aren't at the library anymore.
In fact, you're in a village that looks worse for wear, sitting on dry, barren land. It's cold. Despite its appearance, it isn't abandoned, either; there are people here, but a lot of them look sick. Tired. Freezing. Some of them may not be alive anymore upon your arrival.
There are others who are walking around – people who seem to be faring at least a little better than the rest. Some homes smell like something's cooking, which normally wouldn't seem like a big deal, but…
You are suddenly very, very hungry, and you are freezing – but you also have nothing. There is also nothing around you but some people with food to eat and clothes to layer on yourselves.
With a little bit of investigation, some people you spot in the area are:
- A woman cooking in her home
- A young man carrying a small sack of potatoes
- A traveling merchant
- A woman carrying clothing
- A gentleman with wool and herbs
What will you do now? Leave them be, plead? Negotiate? ...Steal? ]
(OOC: Please bold what you decide to do! Feel free to discuss, but each character can make their own choice – including leaving the NPCs alone – but those who choose to interact can only pick one NPC (individually) right now to encounter.
In this phase, hunger is a sensation, not a status effect, unless stated otherwise.)

And because he's too cold to even go to anyone, he's too cold to try anything to help himself.]

CHAPTER THREE
[ You've made your meals, your medicinal ingredients, and some of you now have some additional items with you. Things are going well, aside from the fog and the plants...which finally spring into action.
Schneider and Soujuurou slice at the plants. The plants don't like that very much. They recoil, as if they're offended, and then they launch themselves forward again. Vines wrap around Schneider and Soujuurou's ankles immediately, and squeeze them for light physical damage.
Then, four other plants rise up and ensnare Sayaka, Yi Sang, Arven, and Haruka. Sayaka and Haruka are now inflicted with Sleep. Yi Sang is Brainwashed. Arven is Confused.
Before you spring into action, some of the flowers on the plants will emit pollen. The pollen will create two things that everyone can see – an image of Yoon with a group of people, as well as a scene in which Ik-soo tells Yoon to go and see the world with the girl with red hair plus the tall man in a blue robe. Yona and Hak, their names are. That's it, though, before the battle ensues.
It's on you, now, to break free. ]

CHAPTER 4 1/2
[ The flower is cut down and split apart, torn up from the outside going inwards. It's wilted, dead on the ground, never to come back again. Yoon's appearance have you given both questions and answers, but at least you got that final piece of confirmation that yes, this is his Palace. And knowing all of that, what was once violent and hateful seems to be no more, as the petals turn a dark shade of brown.
But you know better. You know that it's not over yet. You've got someone you need to see. You made that hot pot for him after all, didn't you?
It's not over.
The hut rumbles, and in the same fashion that Yoon and Yona entered the boat, you fall through the floor. ]
2/2
...Floor that is apparently grass.
You are in a valley now. The field is, surprisingly, warm. Bright. Sunny. Tress and bushes line the edges of it, like it's making some sort of pathway. There is a waterfall nearby. It is strangely comforting...almost like coming home.
But if you walk up the pathway, you will see something very interesting.
Music
The White Dragon.
The Blue Dragon.
The Green Dragon.
The Yellow Dragon.
All of them are blurry, almost like they're semi-detailed silhouettes instead of being real and tangible, facing you. Behind them is a familiar cloaked figure. The Dragons are quiet, but the figure will speak. ]
...I warned you.
[ ... ]
I told you – I told you to leave me alone! Haven't you all been hurt enough already?!
[ His words may be kind, but they sure are distorted, and from underneath his hood, you see yellow eyes that are glowing, just like the butterflies you saw when you first arrived.
I tried. I tried to protect you. This is the only way I can. ]
...This is your last chance. Leave. I will not let you destroy my friends.

CHAPTER 5, 1/???
The sky now has fragments of everyone in the Palace, showing their happiest moments in Sunset City with or without Yoon, reflective of how he won't forget to cherish those moments moving forward.
He takes Sayaka up on her offer for a hug, even if it's not the world's greatest.
What he wouldn't give to tell Sayaka that he'll patch up her leg; apologize to Atem for attacking when he wouldn't, and to Richard, Shalem, Joshua and Yi Sang for all the hassle; tell Maika that he'd like to learn more fighting from her; let Haruka know that he swung his sword with incredible fervor; tell Mafuyu that the life she's lead was not one to be ashamed of.
He'd like to joke to Aubrey that this must be payback for the last time, make Aaron wipe that smug grin off of his face sometimes, tell Arven that his tower has fallen but that he doesn't have to be at the bottom of it alone. He wants to let Ai know that he's happy she followed his instructions so diligently.
He'd like to ask Aerith to hang out, and tell Fray that his courage is only because of everyone here. He'd like to tell Schneider that he'll fight through the guilt, and he'd like to ask Sunrise if her bandages are holding up okay.
He would like to return to his room and talk to Celeste about one of his books. He would like to try all of the foods that Soujuurou left for him that are no good by now.
All that comes out, though, are choked sobs and the outpouring of tears and emotion. His heart is heavy with the knowledge that he's hurt people, people who are his allies, victims of war like he is. Yet, he knows that these are all people he's only just met, who were willing to fight their way through his own personal hell to bring him back.
And he is so, so thankful. ]
2/???
[A familiar voice rings out like the clang of a bell tolling out a warning of danger, of destruction.]
You just won't quit, will you? Then allow me to demonstrate how powerless you are against me. Allow me to show you what pain truly feels like.
[Once more, it happens so quickly - a shadowy blade materializing in a lightning-fast streak that appears like it will aim at Yoon's heart...
But his eyes glance at Aerith instead.]
