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.))

Hey! Leggo! This is mine!

[throwing his weight back, trying to avoid being pulled in]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

I guess you can avoid getting dragged in. The tug finally releases abruptly.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[stumbles as he's released, and his back probably bumps up against another mirror as he does so]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

You back hits another mirror and suddenly... Everything is okay. Why were you upset? Nothing is wrong...

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[oh. huh. that's a good question, he isn't sure himself]

[crouches in front of the mirrors again (hopefully the spot where the hands grabbed him) and gives them another tap with his crowbar]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

There's a sharp tug on your crowbar.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[Are there hands grabbing it because if so, Kit is reaching out to grab those hands himself so he can yank whatever it is out of the mirror]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

You do that. You just pulled yourself out of the mirror. Now how's that for a magic trick?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[BEST TRICK I'VE EVER DONE]

[blinks, bewildered]

Uh.

Hi?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[appleofhiseye]

[well now I'm just confused]

Did I walk down a wrong hallway?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

The reflection blinks back at you and then turns to look at Apple.

"Watch out, he might be dangerous." To Kit "No offense, but things from mirrors aren't exactly trustworthy here."

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[wait]

[what]

-- hey! What're you saying? You're the one from the mirror!

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[appleofhiseye]

Why is there two of you?!

[to. both of them]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"Don't pull that! You're the one who grabbed me! I don't know why there's two of us!"

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

I grabbed you because you were trying to grab me! Look--

[PRESENT: CROWBAR AND BLUETOOTH TO APPLE AS EVIDENCE OF REAL KIT-NESS]

See? I've had these since we got in here.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[appleofhiseye]

Oh, well, that's true...

[the problem with this is that you both look super suspicious :|;;;;]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"You took that from me!" The crowbar. "And this has been on me since the start." The bluetooth on his own head. "Don't pretend you're me."

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[why do I look suspicious I am the real Kit!1]

Yeah? I bet I have plenty of items on me that you don't have.

[producing: deck of cards, gems from Three's realm, an iron daisy, some strips of cloth, a copper feather. . . where does he put it all, man]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[appleofhiseye]

[pulling some stuff out of her bag, but just watching them in the meantime...KEEP DOING YOUR THING, KITS]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Producing item for item at the same time Kit does.

"You're just copying me."

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[omg why. the items disappear back into his MANY POCKETS]

[and then he extends the crowbar, hooks it around mirror!Kit's leg, and tries to trip him]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[appleofhiseye]

Hey! Kit, stop it, no fighting.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Disappearing his own items and jumping agilely out of the way. "You're attacking me now?!"

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[Lets him, and doesn't pursue]

You have a weird definition of "attack." All I was doing was tripping you.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[appleofhiseye]

Well, none of that for now.

[holding out her hand; there's something in it!]

Come here, both of you. Let's get this sorted out.
