#level ideas

I’d imagine the two of them could have a similar theme of an environ-mental crisis in their headspaces.

Lizzie: Being chosen as a mission leader and the responsibilities that come with it has lead to Lizzie losing her cool. Her anxiety about being in the blistering spotlight is making her polar punk show world melt and heat up. Mental denizens are polar bear and penguin punks, revealing to you worries about being seen as posers and their anxieties about responsibilities are making them lose their cool. Background music is annoyingly similar to "Under Pressure/Ice, Ice Baby".

Environment: Slick as snot ice trails lead to sharp metal studs and breaking ice floes go over abyssal edges if they don’t shrink on you first.

Doubts, Bad Ideas, and Regrets a plenty, with a Panic Attack ambush on a stage that grows smaller and smaller over a mosh pit that'll tear you a new one if you fall in.

Hydro attacks freeze and temporarily rebuild sections, while Pyrokinesis melts away snow banks that slow you down and leave you vulnerable to enemies, revealing secret anxieties tattooed in Lizzie’s mind.

Norma: Being given the cold shoulder for her previous actions and attitude have brought a chilling depression to her head space and her knitted/needle felted denizens are slowly unraveling. Fuzzy denizens are experts in negging and backhanded compliments. You have to get Norma back to a healthy mindstate by having them warm back up to her.

Environment hazards include knitting needles and felting needles trying to keep the world bundled up, but will attack anyone trying to undo their work.

Judges and Enablers would be the swarms of choice, with a growing number of Regrets as the level progresses.

1. A lumber town in snowy Canada

2. A large cathedral in Moscow

3. A university in Europe, specifically France to bring the trilogy full circle

Dream Hitman 3 bonus missions:

1. Berlin redone into a factory and warehouse

2. Rainy Dartmoor with all guards, a ton of people roaming the house and more secret passages outside and inside

3. Chinese New Year celebration in Chongqing

Dream Hitman 2 bonus missions:

1. Christmas or Halloween Whittleton

2. A parade in Mumbai

Now that it’s clear we’re not getting Moana in Kingdom Hearts III (yet), here’s a few of my boyfriend’s and my ideas for it so the game doesn’t beat us to it:

Alright, let's see here...

Psychoswitch Bob: [Role: Lucy]

Bob is just as entwined in the life of the circus as Lucy was in canon. However, I would like to make a few changes to the first part already.

There are always plants in the audience, even though he knows they're supposedly dangerous. He still clings to plants.

They're not fleas here-- They're like moths.

Bottles do still appear. After all, those show up a lot-- Around his family, through his entire life, he's gotten used to alcohol. It's likely that it'd have little references to alcohol in there, maybe with little references to cocktails in joking puns or the like as he curls up close to Helmut. (Helmut clearly is a bit too worried to really find them funny. Bob's just trying his best to keep things together.)

They continue on to the part Helmut didn't make only to find it's a ship in a bottle. Yes, literally a ship in a bottle. I just really like the idea of him being associated with the sea and sailing a lot.

I'd like to imagine it as them sailing from bottle to bottle across a sea of stars, and wooden figurines to show the relationships he's made on his own-- His love for his nephew, his closeness with all five of his great-nieces/nephews, and Hollis as well, and the secret spot where he's been hiding his little memories of Helmut: A siren (referenced here) who has a lovely voice. It's super repressed, but it makes him happy to think about his husband again, so he holds onto that, even if it's just a little raft in the middle of the sea.

That's the only one in Jarswitch that's actually the main one that was thought about in that au! Here's the notes from past posts:

The group is represented as major arcana.

They're described a bit here...

And they have been designed as well.

Anyways, continuing with this: I believe that the group in this mind would be a circus troupe! For instance:

Fool/Lucy - Acrobat (Though she should be the ringmaster, she doesn't trust anyone else with the role of an acrobat.)

World/Ford - Clown (You think I'm joking. I'm not. I'm talking like Bello Nock (link is to an act-- There is no clown makeup, if that scares you, but there is a lot of heights involved) sort of clown. I saw him live once, it was incredible. You cannot tell me that Ford wouldn't do a lot of these tricks, too. It would, however, take a lot out of him, since he's afraid of heights.

Sun/Helmut - Ringmaster (He's the one who's kind of stuck taking charge in the battle because, y'know. That's his husband. So therefore, ringmaster.)

Moon/Bob - Tightrope (He's far away from the others on the ground, and he also the idea of the tightrope made of vines occurred to me. It's like he's eternally in danger up there, teetering on the edge between being on their side and against them.)

(Tower/Rafflesio - ???)

Justice/Gristol - Sideshow act (He's not in any danger or uncomfortable, but his scales are always tipping back and forth, and he's likely one of the more solitary folks in the group. He prefers to vibe in his own area and not do things.)

Hanged Man/Compton - Animal Tamer (Do I need to explain?)

High Priestess/Cassie - I could see aerial silk, but I'm not entirely sure of what role I'd give her. (Aerial silk has a lot to do with acrobatics, and it takes a lot of effort, showing that she's a hard worker and Lucy views her as someone she relates to and adores. The two perform together just as much as she and Ford do.)

Sorry this one took me so long extra-- I had to take a while to find that story again.

For reference: Here!

I feel like Hollis's mind would be a lot like Fred's seen in Questions and Answers. A lot is broken, with the circus taking over the old hospital. It likely has more scalpels, stitches, and octopus imagery as well. She's coping rather poorly, since she would try to protect the others as long as she could.
