Heart Game

[digitalemperor]

You have the sensation of falling--no, drowning. Your lungs burn, you can’t breathe, you try to struggle but the current drags you down down down and just as you’re losing consciousness you know you’re dying...

You jerk, abruptly, the landing a little rough as you stand. Your clothes are dry and there’s no water in your lungs. You can breathe.

You find a bluetooth headset on your head, it crackles with static then goes silent.

((Join #sharkbait. Go ahead and start right here. Unless you're Nezumi in which case start here. If you're late check with me on IRC where to start.))

((POWERS: all combat and non-healing powers are ON in this heart. Status removing powers and items are off. Healing powers and items are almost completely ineffective at the start, I'll tell you if it changes. You have all your equipment.))

[nodnod]

Probably . . . um, I'm probably not much help over there anyway. So I'm gonna try to rearrange these glass shards.

Do you want a hug along with the pie?

Re: Broken Haven

[SUCCESS! Maybe.]

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

Actually just hugging you stupid Mikage.

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

A little bit. It's okay.

Thanks for... getting everyone back here, too.

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

How many do you have now?

[looking at them...]

Re: New Room

[floorcandy]

[unexpected!! BUT HUGGING BACK, OF COURSE]

Re: New Room

[hunting]

[You realize he's probably still a blood mess, clothes-wise, even if the reforming takes care of the injuries.

Anyway, jerking back at that touch in surprise.]

Re: The Maze

[blackjacked]

[thumbs towards the tower]

That way. I dunno if it's accessible yet, but Apple and I are almost done with the maze puzzle. It should be soon.

[gestures to the upturned chest, then reaches into his pocket]

. . . here. I dunno what this does, but it's a key item. Take it with you.

[tosses Kazuki the Coral ring he took from the junk pile]

Re: Broken Haven

[digitalemperor]

You manage to brace the chair a bit! You now have a baby shark in a clean bowl. '^'

Re: New Room

[floorcandy]

That's what we were told to do.

Re: The Maze

[hunting]

[Combination magic penknife + fireball = Exploding into vampire dust. o/

Uh, I guess the heart will be lying on top of that or something. :x]

Re: New Room

[ferrissaves]

If you want?

It wasn't my fault. It wasn't his, either. Even though I died during Beauty's thing, I've never been killed before, so I'm just going to ignore it.

Re: Broken Haven

[digitalemperor]

And specifically because it's both of you together....

Re: The Maze

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ ... takes the Coral ring! Sure, why not, but he's getting ansty for killing things and Kit and Apple are looking like more appealing prospects by the second-- no, no, he just pointed out they almost finished the maze, he needs them, yes good dragon killing. ]

Re: Broken Haven

[digitalemperor]

You see two similar images superimposed:

[When the lights go on you find yourself in a small room filled with books--it should be familiar as your room back home, crossed with Coral’s little basement. The books pack the shelves and pile on the floor, leaving almost no room for anything else but a couch, a bed, a small stove and the wall piano in the corner.]

[Somehow, despite the cramped and cluttered feeling, the place feels cozy. On the one visible wall there is a painting of animals, a rabbit watches over a fox who wrestles with a hound and raccoon, a dragonfly flitting above them. A fawn is curled under a tree with a mouse on her head. In the tree a canary and a nightingale sit on a branch, which a lizard is climbing. There’s a pond, and in the pond a little pink anemone and a tiny coral shark.]

[On the piano is a tiny cracked vase with one, fragile fluffy dandelion, all fluffed with white seeds.]

And

[When the lights go on you find yourself in a small room filled with books--it should be familiar as your room with Nezumi back home, crossed with Coral’s little basement. The books pack the shelves and pile on the floor, leaving almost no room for anything else but a couch, a bed, a small stove and the wall piano in the corner.]

[A small photograph of Mouse reading, oblivious of or ignoring the photographer sits on the piano.]

[A painting of a yellow dandelion flower with a mouse leaning up to sniff it, small whiskers tickling the petals, hangs on the one visible wall.]

Re: Broken Haven

[digitalemperor]

But the vision(s?) fade after a few seconds.

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

I dunno if ignoring it is good either, but I'm glad you're alive now. Yes, I want. C'mere.

[shifting over to hug her :T]
