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.))

Nothing seems different here. There are a few ways you can go... They all look the same.

[going to try and go a little further to see if I get anywhere at all]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

You do get pretty lost. How much attention are you paying to your surroundings?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

[as much attention as I can, but I'm Ushiromiya Battler so it's probably not enough]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

How good are you at avoiding mirrors...

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

[pretty okay I guess]

[still holding out my hands and going slowly if that counts for anything]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Well if at any point you touch a mirror you kind of suddenly realized that everything is totally fine.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

[oh well that's cool]

[I mean I'm always fine so it's not like that's new or anything]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Yes see things are cool. Everything is fine.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

[still trying to find a way around the mirrors, but feeling a lot more relaxed about it, what with everything being fine and all]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Can you repeat it in red though? Your reflections might meet your eyes when they shouldn't...

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

[well I can't actually say it in red since I haven't regained the skill yet but it's still totally true!]

[so the reflections aren't bothering me at all]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Next time you brush a mirror a hand grabs you.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

[oh crap, trying to pull away while twisting to see who's doing the grabbing]

[though I already have a guess]

[not that it's a problem since everything's fine right]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Peachy keen. Except for your reflection trying to drag you into a mirror.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

Hey-!

[I'm not sure I'm okay with going into a mirror right now so struggling to break loose]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

You struggle free, barely! Your reflection leers at you.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

[just staring at it with horrified fascination]

...This is so messed up...

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"You're telling me."

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

Why'd you try to pull me in like that?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"Because I belong out there."

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

Sorry, but I think I'd rather stay here. There's a princess in need of rescuing, and I don't think I could very well do that from inside a mirror.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"What good are you doing?"

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[itsalluseless]

...Are you saying you could do better?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"A dog could do better. You're incompetent."
