Usurper of the Wilds and the Lion Den

Intro | Rose Maze | Witch’s Lake-house | Desert Manor | Poison Palace | Death’s Mansion | Dragon’s Castle

This chapter isn’t as similar to its incarnation of the original version. Instead of Leon’a being upset about a sports game, he’s upset about serving this higher up that had informed them that they need Yuu, whether they were dead or alive, the bbeg (Crowley) didn’t care.

After defeating (Killing or Saving) Riddle, and either steal or obtain his charm, Yuu runs to this slight hole in the wall of this fortress looking castle that leads underground to this den-like cave. Yuu runs into thinking they were safe from beastman scouts that had spotted them earlier. That’s when they run into Jack, the newest edition to the pride of Beastman. He noticed them immediately and began to chase them. Yuu had to use a different method to escape from Jack and other future “stalkers”. After all, Beastman have far more superior senses than humans. An instant game over if Jack caught them.

Anyway, They escape and make it to the surface of the “den”. This is were a cutscene will play out to reveal Leona and Ruggie speaking about some sort of plan to steal the “prisoner” from the Rose Maze before the sun rose up again, not realizing that Yuu had already escaped and freed the Heartslaybul gang from their torment.

It follows with Jack rushing in and confusing Leona and Ruggie, as he explains that Yuu, and a strange cat monster has arrived in the den. Ruggie is shocked and relieved that they don’t have to bother with the Rose Maze, while Leona is amused that Yuu manage to survive this long into the Lion’s Den so he retires to his room and Task Ruggie and Jack as well as the entirety of the Den to search and bring Yuu to him…alive.

Yuu’s like “fuck this” and tries to escape the Lion’s Den, but obviously that doesn’t work as they run into Ruggie, who immediately tries to capture them, and initiates a mini boss fight. Unlike Rose Maze which was more stealth base than Battle or puzzle base, Lion’s Den is more battle base, than puzzle or stealth.

Yuu wins and has the options to either kill or spare, each has a consequence that leads towards the end, anyway, Yuu actually confronts Leona in his study, while being chase, this starts a cutscene of Yuu threatening to kill Leona which makes him laugh, and that he’d rather team up and fight against the BBEG but he needs their power Yuu has the power of the great seven, Yuu refuses as they don’t know about the power, which causes a fight. Yuu obviously wins this fight and the option comes up again (Kill or Spare). Whatever option Yuu chooses doesn’t effect how they obtain Leona’s charm (His Choker)

Just wanted to say NEW ICON IS BY MY SUPER AWESOME BEST FRIEND @shaunanted-blog They’re from a vt au of mine I haven’t really talked about here, but it’s inspired by rule of rose. These are Ghost and Jimmy in the au.

So Touga and Diana are definitely parallels, and both Miki and Saionji are Meg-coded imo. Nanami, character of all time, is somewhere between Diana and Meg. Juri reminds me a lot of Eleanor, and so does Kozue (especially with the bird of happiness). Amanda is a lot like the black rose duelists, especially Wakaba and Shiori. I was also thinking about the Kanae and Clara parallels. And, obviously, Utena is Jennifer and Anthy is Wendy. Chu Chu is brown, of course.

Although I barely make content for my connverse kids, there is a series of headcanons it's storyline follows so might as well jot it down. ¯⁠\⁠( ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ )⁠/⁠¯

I headcanon that Steven isn't really immortal and that the Pink Diamond Gem will become an heirloom of sorts.

I headcanon that each of the Diamonds is some kind of representation or parallel to what forms the Universe. I don't know what the others could be, but Pink is the organic parts. Organic creatures, specially the sentient/sapient kind, is a rarity in the vast ocean of space, which was why she's the smallest.

Her affiliation to organics made her much more sympathetic and fascinated with them, and she was captivated with humans the most. Eventually, after living with them and her envy and wonder for them grew, she had the desire to be one. Or rather, something deep in her gem wanted to.

While she can make a baby without giving up her form, she chose to sacrifice herself so the gem can be passed down to Steven.

However, as Pink/Rose and Greg are different species, there had been an inconvenience. The offspring exists, but the gem and organic connection is imperfect and unstable.* The gem needs to develop it's connection to the physical body more. This can be done by letting the body naturally learn to adapt to the gem/magic, then passing both the gem and the DNA (with that learned knowledge) down to the next generation; who's physically more capable of hosting the diamond. The result is not instantaneous so it's going to take a number of generations before the gem and body becomes perfectly fused. (Slow burn route, babyyyy)

Passing down the gem can be done in two ways.

One is the natural way: by giving birth to the child with the gem intact. Of course, this will cause the parent to die. (There miiight be a chance they will still live despite now not having a gem, if they have the technology for it. But it can get trickier down the line as the body and gem becomes more connected.)

The alternate instance the gem can be passed down is when the current keeper becomes deceased and their "Pink Form" (like the Pink Steven in Change Your Mind) appears. They will guard the gem until a progeny claims it. There's a possibility the gem rejects the new body though.

There's a cool down after the gem is passed down. Of course, that and how mentally ready the person is can affect how long the cool down lasts. (Which was why Steven's gem powers didn't come out sooner.)

I was thinking about when you inherit the gem in the second way, how part of the cool down works is that you can still see the prior host as an apparition others can't see. They can talk to you and stuff. (Guide you? Torment you? Be your friend? Idk) But they can't really interact with anything else. They disappear when the new host (keeper?) is fully mentally ready to take in the gem.

*I was wondering also. Either conveniently or by design, Steven has a positive disposition as a lower morale can disrupt the gem's balanced state. Unfortunately for our boi, he's the first meat host, so he has to learn how to keep a stable mind the hardest. 😞

"The soldier of space-time. The one who guards the Space-Time Gate. Sailor Butterfly."

I forgot to post these here 😂

I do love this AU, though. The lore took time to make it work and these two are the ones who have to make sure Rita can get decent sleep bc they're going through a lot.

Scarabia

Sorcerer of sands and the Desert Manor

Intro | Rose Maze | Lion’s Den | Witch’s Lakehouse | Poison Palace | Death’s Mansion | Dragon’s Castle | Alternate Dialogue and scenes

This chapter (Level) begins after doing certain relationship quests, (Mostly Platonic) with a few characters, but that doesn’t mean Yuu couldn’t go back to the previous levels and build relationships with them. It would be recommended to utilize the Octavinelle group for this chapter, but Yuu is allowed to have higher relationships with others for companionship purposes. Anyway, after the quest, and depending on who and what group Yuu has a higher relationship with, will determine how the story goes. But I’ll write about the canonical plot.

Yuu and Grim began to wonder about an area that was filled with sand, strangely enough, must be the magic of this land, as they wonder about Grim smells food and speeds off towards the scent with Yuu following close behind. They come up to a small window that looks into a kitchen, and they see several servants cooking and a long dark hair, Arabic man watching over them. He looks up and sees Yuu and Grim looking through the window and orders for their capture. This causes a chase and sneak sequence, which leads Yuu and Grim to Jamil. He plays the white knight to them and stops the servants from chasing them. He offers them food and a place to rest as he notices that they seem tired and looked hungry. Yuu was hesitant but Grim took it immediately.

As Yuu and Grim eat, that’s when Kalim introduces himself and excitedly exclaims his happiness for new friends to enter his life. Basically this level will play out like Book 4 in the original, with the exception of the alternate scenarios with the groups who have the highest relation to Yuu.

After being held hostage, Yuu ran to Octavinelle for help. At first Azul refused thinking Yuu got themselves in trouble with someone he didn’t want to deal with (Leona, Rook, Malleus) but when he heard it was with the Scarabia duo, he got intrigued and decided that he did want to help them, and that they owned for the damage of his small Lakeside Cafe (Which I totally didn’t forget to mention). So they traveled back and basically what happened is the same as book 4. Octavinelle takes over Jamil’s duties much to his displeasure.

Yuu wanted to get Kalim out of there some in the middle of the chaos Yuu and Grim escape once again only with Kalim and the sea trio. As they are escaping Jamil latches onto Yuu, and holds them captive. This is also where another relationship checkpoint is, Yuu is allowed to hope and pray or think about a character and depending on the rank depends on if they’re willing or not.

Once again going down the canonical route. Floyd shows up with Grim and helps them out while Azul, Jade, and Kalim deal with Jamil. Once the three of them arrived, Jamil had the three men hypnotized and commanded that they attack and kill Yuu, Grim, and Floyd. It starts the first phase of the boss battle, after freeing Azul, Jade, and Kalim, they fight together to defeat Jamil. Which allows Yuu to gain one of Kalim’s Gold Bracelet, even tho Yuu actually doesn’t need to use it for this level since the only stalker characters were Jamil and the hypnotized servants.
