[Action] Huff and Puff and Blow your Dreams Down

[big_bad_ending]

[First, a beautiful unhappy ending was thwarted and now he's in a new disgustingly bright and happy sun-shiny day. At least he got a pretty-pretty necklace out of this. That makes up for falling asleep in the Shadow Realm and waking up in this happy land.

Not.

Ulric, a big bad wolf, floats above Genessia, taking in its sights with disgust, thinking over what the brochures and the hologram said.]

Genessia... A whole other world from my own. No Brute. No Bruha. No Rascal...

[A sinister Wolfy grin.]

No Glitter Force~

At long last, I can do what I do best. [Ulric produces a peculiar book.]


Genessia! Your picturesque fairy tale is coming to an end-

-as I paint your dreams black!

[Ulric crushes a tube of paint in his hand and smeared the ages with the only black paint. The magic of the book is activated, unleashing a wave that turns Genessia's day in a bleak, full moon night. His magic was re-writing the future to a sad ending.

Black aura appeared around people in the immediate vicinity, wisps of darkness gravitating towards the Book of Sad Endings.]

Every ounce of negative energy turns the Wheel of Doom one more tick, bringing me closer to the day I can revive my master; Nogo, Emperor of Evil!

[But nothing happens. Ulric didn't sense that satisfying tick of doom. In fact, none of the people appear to be incapacitated by hopelessness.]


Hey... What gives? [He flies down to the nearest NPC.]
Why isn't your negative energy turning the wheel of doom?

[The NPC shrugs and continues on with his day.]

Great. What am I supposed to do now?

Glad you asked, little girl.

This is the Book of Sad Endings, where I rob you of your hopes and dreams for the future!

[And yet it doesn't work on the majority of the city's inhabitants. It's odd, but this one looks like a bundle of joy. Naturally, he'll try to ruin her day by attempting to absorb any happiness she has and leave her with a feeling of hopelessness.

Unless she is firmly committed to her happy ending, in which case the Dark magic won't work.]

The Book of Sad Endings?

[Mavis do not look scared or even slightly impressed. She simply looks curious.]

Hopes and Dreams are among the most powerful things in the world. Is this why you need them?

Re: [Action]

[big_bad_ending]

[Aaaaand it's not working. And it has long since stopped being surprising. Is there no one in this pathetic world who is effected by a re-written future?]

I am getting really tired of repeating myself.

[Skipping the whole negative energy and turning the wheel of doom and all that.]

I aim to revive my master, Nogo. The Emperor of Evil.

[Action]

[fairysoul]

[Nogo. Now that's a new piece of information. He didn't give the name of his Emperor before.]

So he can rule over this world?

[What else? That's what all the big bad villains are after, after all. Mavis' look turns more serious.]

You can't summon people from your world to this one. You might as well stop trying right now.

[Something in her expression does not belong to a little girl. As if Mavis was much older than she looks.]

What's your name?

Re: [Action]

[big_bad_ending]

[Actually, he did. Maybe he wasn't projecting his voice well enough. Evil speak wearing on the voice and all.

Ulric crossed his arms with a grin.]

The name's Ulric. And I never said I was summoning him to this world. But yes and no, world conquest is thinking too small~

[This world, any world, every world, the whole universe and beyond.]

[Action]

[fairysoul]

[Well Mavis doesn't know Ulric well enough yet to know it's what he did. She just felt the dark energy.

She paused, considering what he just said.] Have you been travelling from one world to another, then? Or does your Master have several servants just like you?

Re: [Action]

[big_bad_ending]

Curious one, aren't ya?

I won't reveal everything but I am one of four of Emperor Nogo's best and baddest.

You are different from what I've seen before. Your book, that negative energy that seems to follow you... I've seen similar things, of course, but not exactly that. [She tilts her head, peering at the book as if she was trying to read through its cover, which of course she couldn't.] Is there actually something written in the book?

[Mavis nods.] Sounds about right. There's often either four main followers, or twelve, when death or chaos or destruction is involved.
