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.))

How many agility skills have you got back--no but you can probably avoid electrocuting yourself.

[MY PHYSICAL SKILLS HAVE BEEN REGAINED 8D luckily this isn't a week or so ago]

[dropping down into a heavy crouch next to the puddle, heart racing anyway because jesus christ]

. . . ugh.

[what's all up in this puddle anyway]

Some loose exposed wiring, an overturned monitor.

Also one of the Kazuki icons is reading "dead" and Anri's icon has gone from glitching to black.

[calling back to Shion]

Give me a second.

[putting on his leather gloves, taking the wires from the . . . non-exposed side and tugging them lightly away from the water]

You do that! Success!

[> operation make sure my boyfriend doesn't get electrocuted]

I bet his hair would resemble a dandelion even more though.

[that's not the point . . .]

Alright, Shion. You can jump.

[Gonna dangle himself down before dropping like a loser who doesn't know how to jump down properly]

. . .

[t-this is going to hurt]

[catching him awkwardly, jerking forward]

Shit.

Sorry-!

[setting him down carefully, favoring one arm slightly]

Idiot.

[touches Nezumi's elbow with concern] I'm sorry. I'm not good at this yet.

I'd noticed. It's fine.

[pushing him away little]

Come on, we have work to do.

Where should we start?

Let's just try to get everything upright and working again. Mind the water.

Right...

[gaze flicking around the room, trying to track what goes where]

You can probably figure out what goes where easily. It's more the smashed machines that are hard to repair.

[setting up and getting everything that's not . . . completely demolished . . . back where it should be]

[taking a break to look around to see where everyone is, FULL SCAN PLEASE]

Full scan! Echo is talking to the shady guy in the chess piece room. Battler and Hunter are alone in parts of the mirror maze. Selenia is with Lloyd heading for Kazuki and a better looking Anri. They're pursued by [????]. Likewise Kit and Apple are headed to Kazuki, also pursued by [????]. Mikage is headed that direction himself.

Everyone else aside from you and Shion are in the starting area.

[talking to Kit and the others on the phone, idly reaching out to touch Shion's hand]

Anri's running off to round up the ~~people who are offline~~ stragglers. Which means you should probably get the rest of the group out. As more [????] is popping up all over the map.

[takes it, eyes roaming over the destroyed consoles]

Where would tools be if there were any...

I don't know. You could try asking Kida.
