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.))

Hugging fiercely. "I am not."

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

A little bit. It's okay.

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

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

"Haha it's my job."

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

Don't you start smiling, too. It's rough and thanks for doing it.

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

"Not as rough as you guys have it."

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

Don't give me that bullshit. We've both got it rough. I've had to watch helplessly too many times not to know.

...is there anything that can be done here? To get you guys the power to change things more, too.

[digitalemperor]

"Thorn gave me power last time. It's why I can do this much. Anri-chan too....."

He stiffens.

"The dragon's out..."

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

Dragon?

[sits straighter, glancing at the blue door]

So we fight the dragon now?

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

"Yeah."

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

[watching his face]

It's that bad, huh. Masaomi— it didn't work in the red room, but this isn't a Persona game. Is there some way I can use White Queen's favor here? I think it'll help if there's a big fight—

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

"What's her favor?"

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

[shows him the pocket watch on his sword]

I can stop time for a little bit with this.

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

Kida hesitates, then takes his sword off his belt and hands it to Lloyd.

"If you have this, that should work."

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

...



Can you put it in my swords or something? I can't... fight with three swords...

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

"Let me see your sword?"

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

[unsheathes them both and holds them out?]

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

He places his hand on one of them, the other still holding his own sword. His sword... Disappears in a sparkle and yours gains a yellow scarf tied tightly around the hilt our of the way of your grip.

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

Oh!

Will you be okay if you need to hit something?

Re: New Room

[digitalemperor]

He picks up some nail pullers and smiles.

"This is more my kind of weapon anyway."

Re: New Room

[brotagonist]

Right! See you soon!
