Heart Game

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.))

[doesn't respond, just stumbles back as he's hit with twice the wooziness, reaching out to steady himself on the nearest surface]

A-- Apple--

[reaching out to catch Kit]

It's not that bad, what's wrong?

Holding his own head. "Geez..."

Kit you feel like everything is fine again--despite the double woozy. Enjoy another dose of stepfording.

[it's okay I stepford all the time. jerks his hand away from the mirror, pushing himself up straight and trying to ignore how the mirrors, the ground, the ceiling are kind of spinning]

F-- fine, I'm fine.

W-what the hell, Apple?

No, you're not. You shouldn't have that bad of a reaction.

"Ha! See, you can't hide that you're the double. Apple, be careful." Stepping up beside her protectively!

I'm fine, it's not a big deal--

[smile through it everything is fine everything is fine, even though it's hard to see straight and watching that guy stand next to Apple so protectively is just making him bristle again]

-- hey! Back off, pal, she's not yours to protect!

[bristling in turn, clearly mad. but reaching forward to check Kit's eyes, if he'll let her]

I'm not either of yours to protect! I said stop this nonsense already. You're both being ridiculous.

[the wooziness should be fading fast, though the tingling is still there]

"But he's dangerous!"

[letting her. they probably look like. . . whatever they would look like after a double dose of leaf]

I know that. [slight undercurrent of frustration of his own]

You don't need anyone to protect you, so that creepy guy over there doesn't need to keep standing next to you like he's your guardian or something.

[she's myyyy friend go away mirror me :(]

[slightly concerned face, but pulling away once she's looked]

Exactly. We've got bigger things to deal with right now.

[holds her fist out to Kit. YOU GET A FISTBUMP FOR BEING A BRO]

"I know that too." Grump. "But this guy just rubs me wrong."

[:T but the wooziness is finally gone and Kit can deal with tingly. FISTBUMP FOR APPLE, before he rights himself and gives mirror!Kit one last suspicious glance]

. . . right, let's go. We've gotta find a way to carefully destroy these mirrors. Lloyd, Blizzard and I were doing it from a distance to avoid being cut up by shards.

Understood. If possible we should also locate an exit, in case we need to escape.

[points to mirror!Kit]

You, please stay behind me and don't get hurt.

[holds out her hand to Kit for the crowbar]

Shall I do it? I've got armor on, so any shards should just bounce off, right?

"I don't need protecting." Huff!

[fine if Apple won't help me get rid of you, mirror me, I will just IGNORE YOU]

I have armor, too. But it's better to be safe than sorry. Just throw the crowbar, don't hit it up close.

[hands her the crowbar]

Lloyd found some explosives in the wall, so once we find the detonator we can blow this entire place up.

[Vague handwave at mirror!kit. Also shushing.

Paaause in taking the crowbar]

...Do we want to be throwing things with explosives around?

It's C4. It'll take more than us slinging crowbars around to set that off.

[positioning himself in front of mirror!Kit to block him from stray shards, too]

And Lloyd found it behind the mirrors, so we're gonna need to break a few more to get to the wall ourselves if we want the detonator.

What's C4?

[I guess I will let you do the smashing then, explosives still sound bad]

Edited 2013-01-08 20:23 (UTC)

A stable explosive that can only be detonated with extreme heat and a powerful shockwave.

Be careful. Take cover if the broken shards try to impale you.

[takes the crowbar back from her, takes aim, and throws it as far as he can to shatter a mirror ahead of them]

You continue to smash while the reflection protests being protected.

[TOO BAD REFLECTION. Continues a pattern of throwing the crowbar, smashing a mirror, avoiding shards, picking up the crowbar and throwing it again to smash another mirror, all while ignoring his reflection's protests]

[also may be looking for walls behind the mirrors]

[Watching mirror Kit protest, glancing at Kit every now and then to make sure he isn't getting caught in the glass]

We only have one crowbar anyways, it's not like all of us can smash things.

The whole hall kind of shivers unpleasantly.

[pauses for a moment when it does, straining his ears to listen for Shark's voice. but isn't stopping in his crusade to BREAK ALL THE MIRRORS (from afar)]
