Storyline Name: Tempest in Elysion
Creator(s): Princess Moon and Eternal Knight
Plot Summary: After being revived and sent to Elysion with their own dreams, the Amazon Trio now struggles with adapting themselves to human’s values and manners. However, Helios, who works on rebuilding Elysion in the meantime, had set himself the task to help them with their issues and now tries to convert the selfish, emotionless Trio into three good-hearted and caring individuals with own dreams and goals, so that they can eventually return to Earth someday.
 
However, this is easier said than done. While Hawk’s Eye and Fisheye try to be as human as possible – yes, even try to help Helios with rebuilding Elysion – Tiger’s Eye causes many difficulties and puts his foot down, screwing things up and keeping to his selfish life.
 
Can the others change his mind and get him to work with them as a team or will they never be real humans and able to make their dreams come true?
Details on any necessary information: The role-play takes place after SuperS in Elysion. Once the Trio has understood what it means to be a human, Helios allows them to go back to Earth where they can live like normal humans.
 
Since the Trio works as Helios’s helpers, Helios passes their powers back to them, so that they could protect themselves, him and Elysion. That means, Hawk’s Eye can still shoot fire, Fisheye can throw his knifes and Tiger’s Eye can catch shadows with his whip. Furthermore, all of them are able to teleport.
 
The dreams of the Trio:
Tiger’s Eye wants to become an artist, idol and rock star.
Hawk’s Eye wants to open his own shop and wants to work as a bartender by the way.
Fisheye dreams of becoming a renowned model and Olympic champion.
Restrictions: The only playable characters are Hawk’s Eye, Tiger’s Eye, Fisheye and Helios. Everyone else will be NPCed by Eternal Knight or me.

Freedom felt great. Maybe it was because his life had started as an animal, maybe it was because he never really liked Zirconia, but Elysion was a wonderful place. Of course it came at a small price; he owed his life to someone he barely knew. He didn't understand why Helios had chosen to take pity upon them – because it couldn't be anything else than pity, right? - nor why they had been brought back to life, newly born as dreamers, as true humans. Was it wrong to hope this would last? Was he wrong to wish for this peace? Did he deserve a life in Elysion?

He had questions. He couldn't find the answers.

Sitting on the ground, he was absently looking at the Maenads who were going up the stairs of the building he was facing. Too young looking... but probably in Tiger's range. His friend had no taste. Correction: none of his friends had good taste. Fisheye being the worst.

He glanced at them, but didn't say anything.

He knew about humans what he needed to know, but never did he have to deal with emotions he didn't have knowledge of. It wasn't remorse... but maybe it was regret. There was nothing wrong with them, but apparently there was something wrong with their ways of doing.

He pondered on what exactly.

They liked beautiful women – or men, and at that thought he grimaced – but nowhere was it described as a crime. Maybe the manipulation and the lies? But then how were you supposed to approach someone and who would accept to speak with people like them? Let alone date.

He growled in exasperation and pushed himself onto his back.

They were here to help Helios in his duties, but in the end, wouldn't he be the one to help them more?

“Did you have any dreams last night?”

He randomly asked to both his friends, his mind not quite at rest. He hated silence. And dreams... well dreams could be an interesting topic to bring. He hoped so anyway or they were in for a long time.

OOC:

He yawned.

He disliked this place. He didn't know why, but he didn't need to. There was something fishy going on there and it wasn't Fisheye's fault. How could someone like Helios simply take them under his wing and supposedly care for them as if there were never those hired and controlled by Zirconia? How did they know he wasn't exactly just like her?

His eyes stopped on Fisheye, then Hawk's Eye, wondering how they could be so indifferent to it.

Elysion probably wasn't even real.

As they were walking up the stairs, the Maenads attracted his attention and he suddenly perked up. It was a subtle change in his features, but one Hawk's Eye apparently knew well enough to throw a small rock at him. Startled, he raised an eyebrow at him.

“What was that for?”

He asked, ignoring the glance Hawk's Eye threw at him. He settled back down with a growl. Usually, he wouldn't have even listened to the other, but right now, he preferred they didn't split up. Just in case.

“I didn't, by the way. I didn't even sleep.”

He sighed.

“Fisheye?”

Maybe Fisheye had been lucky.

The topic had apparently calmed him for now, mostly because dreams were so new to them. They always wished it would one day be their turn to have dreams, normal or beautiful, but now that they had them, Tiger's Eye was agitated. What if instead of dreams he had nightmares. What if he actually still had none? He didn't want to know. Plus, sleeping here would mean to let his guard down and he wasn't ready for that either.

While sitting cross-legged on the tree stub he found just one or two meters from the others away, his shining eyes wandered through the beautiful scenery of Elysion.
 
Elysion…
 
Suppressing a smile, Fisheye bit his lip and looked down, his legs now loose and swaying short above the puddle in front of the stub. Even though he had been here for quite a while now – and even though he could touch and see everything – he still couldn’t believe that he was here…as a real human with real dreams.
 
Eventually letting a faint smile come through, Fisheye came back to reality when he heard noises coming from not too far away.
Quickly he looked up, spotting two in white-dressed women with long hair, the hairdo similar to the one from the girl that introduced her to dreams back then.
 
He snorted.
Okay, maybe they weren’t alone there – but still, they were no competition to him. Those dresses and this make-up – didn’t they have any style at all?! And why was everything white? White was so out of fashion nowadays. What did they want to represent with it? A female snowman? And what was with those shoes? Jeez.
Amused by the horrible appearance of the maenads, he ran the fingers through his hair, throwing it playfully over his shoulder. This was how a woman should look like…
 
But what was that? Why were the others gazing at the two ugly fashion disasters? Even Hawk’s Eye was looking over them!
First surprised and also slightly shocked, Fisheye later relaxed and settled back again, leaning onto his hands he put on the stub just behind his back.

What should one expect, after all? One of them liked tiny, naïve children…and the other one old ladies who were just about to enter the grave. Actually it would have been more surprising, if they didn’t have look over to them.

“Same problem as Tiger’s Eye,” he said to everyone around when Hawk’s Eye asked them about dreams after a while. “I couldn’t sleep.”
 
“But how should I, after all?,” he continued after a small pause, sitting up and changing the position on the stub. “I mean…just think about it! We’re human now! And we have our own mirrors with own dreams! We don’t need to delight in other people’s dreams anymore – because we have our own! This is just…wow!”
After fascinating himself by his own words, Fisheye laid down on the stub, his hands folded together under his head and his eyes looking into the thick tree crowns.
 
“What about you, Hawk’s Eye? Did you have any dreams?”

As soon as he'd seen Tiger's Eye perk up, he knew what it was about so before the man could do anything stupid and probably cause trouble for them, he threw a rock at him. Why was he always the most mature? Why would Tiger even think about going up to those girls to begin with? Had he no gratitude for Helios and his Maenads?

Wait... gratitude... did he even have any himself?

He should probably ponder on that before jumping at Tiger's throat. Then again, he was known to be smarter than him.

His eyes randomly fell on Fisheye and while both Tiger's and he always knew the man to be suspicious, his mannerism would never cease to surprise him – and make him uncomfortable. Did he have any pride at all? Not even the tiniest bit apparently. For all he knew, he was probably comparing his dresses with the others' own.

He rubbed his face with the palm of his hand in an exasperated gesture.

And what about twirling his hair with his fingers like that?

How would that even help to charm young or respectable wom...oh. Oh oh oh oh oh. No. Never. He made a small sound of despair. Never again would he be able to appreciate such gentle gesture from any women he would encounter in the future.

“I didn't sleep either.”

He sighed in his arm, almost pouting under the disappointment he felt. He had wished one of them would have an answer for him. What did it feel like to dream? Fisheye's enthusiasm made him smile. They were all in the same boat after all.

“I wish we could see them again, our mirrors. Maybe I'm still in disbelief.”

He chuckled, dropping his arm on the ground and his eyes gazing at the sky pensively.

They seemed utterly charmed by Elysion and it ticked him off. What was beautiful in Elysion? How even was it more impressive than anything else? It was a random place, with ruins, a priest and two young girl who definitely shouldn't be hidden from the world. There were no shops in sight, no houses, no sign of civilization, no entertainment, no nothing! The empty main room of the circus was more decorated that this dusty place.

There probably was sand in his shoes.
And he wore heels.
Hell.

He slowly brushed his hair with his fingers, appreciating the smoothness of his locks. It calmed him again, but Fisheye's enthusiasm made him snort.

“How's that different from what we were before?”

He crossed his legs, his lips twisted in a grimace.

“For all we know, there's a sphere like the one made by the old crazy woman somewhere in Elysion just waiting for us to make one bad move.”

His eyes went from Fisheye to Hawk's Eye. How could they not see? He clicked his tongue at Hawk's words.

“You should. Both of you should think before believing everything that priest says. None of us slept, so how are we to know it really worked?”
