You are a villager in the beautiful town of Tote Valley, where you live out an idyllic life of peace and prosperity... until MeGaCorp came into the picture, a gigantic threat looming over the village. The CEO of the company is in a tight contest with the Mayor regarding the land rights in the area, and MeGaCorp will stop at nothing to build its next factory in the lush Tote Valley. Still, life goes on in Tote Valley. It's the first day of Spring, and the Forget-Me-Not Festival is in full swing! Little purple flowers cover every wall and every table, making sure that you always remember the Forget-Me-Not flowers. There's a big party in the town center, and you partake in the various festivities. You notice a few strange faces in town, but tourists usually come to the Valley this time of year... Suddenly, the sky dims, thunder rolling in from the mountains. A flash of red light hits the the mayor, onstage. He screams, clutching at his chest before he falls to the ground, lifeless. And then, your head start to hurt; everything is spinning. What is going on, you ask, in desperation, but nobody responds. You fall. There is nothing darkness. ------ "We did it boss! We can take the town!" "No, not yet... they are all about to wake up. What is the meaning of this, wizard??" "I... I am weak... my power was not enough..." "Silence, incompetent! I knew this would happen. We must move into plan B." "P-plan B, boss?" "If we must kill everyone one by one, so be it." "B-but they might find out!" "Sacrifices must be made. MeGaCorp will not fail." "Good thing I made those flyers..." ------ When you come to, the entire town seems to be stirring alongside you. A neatly-dressed lady stands up next to the fallen mayor... you vaguely recognize her, but if it weren't for the "Vice Mayor" sash she was wearing, you would probably have no idea who she was. You look at the rest of the villagers... you had no idea who any of them were, either. You rack your brains trying to think of why you can't figure out who all these people are. You've lived your whole life in the valley... it's impossible that you don't know who anyone else is. A gust of wind blows, and hundreds of red sheets of paper flurry down to the ground. You pick one up. On its face is the sinister logo of MeGaCorp, with a line of red text: WE ARE AMONG YOU. WE WILL CONQUER YOU. ONE. BY. ONE. ------ "I'm the mayor now, I-i guess," said the vice mayor, a petite woman with blonde-dyed hair and a quiver in her voice. "We will give His Late Excellency a proper burial in time... but as of now, these are dark times, with dark magic poisoning our very souls. MeGaCorp has declared war on our beloved Tote Valley..." She looked at the villagers in front of her. If only she knew who these people actually were... "Since I don't know you, you probably don't know me either," she said in a tiny voice. "I'm Isabelle Shizue. I know it will be difficult, but I hope you'll trust me to lead you in this trying time. We need to protect our good villagers, and cast out the bad seeds..." The small crowd mumbled, as if in recognition and agreement. "I... I don't know any of your names... I think it would be best if we all would introduce ourselves. But please, say nothing but your name. I don't want MeGaCorp to target our most valuable citizens." -----
