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.))

Are you going to make out with a sword... Scandalous....

But trying to get out of here is hard. Maybe impossible. Where are you even? Are you sure you're not going in circles?

[ I'M REALLY NOT... THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING. ]

[ Is there anything around I can throw at mirrors... ]

You have. A sword?

[ I'm not throwing this at a mirror kthx. ONWARDS WE GO. ]

I'm afraid there's only mirrors and you. And your reflection--oh that's right. You don't have a reflection any more.

[ And good riddance??? ]

Maybe but somehow it's even harder to find your way when there aren't reflections of you to tell you where the mirrors are.

[ WHAT A PAIN :T He is being careful though, watching for the glassy quality mirrors tent to have, especially when they meet the ground. ]

You get paged...

You go along slowly and carefully then, but you have no idea if it's the right direction... And the sword still feels fragile, more so the longer you're here.

[ ... brushes his lips on the swords hilt again before picking up sdhbnkhcsdckn THAT'S REALLY EMBARRASSING. ]

So bold Kazuki~ You feel a soft feeling of being loved but it's so faint it's barely a whisper of emotion.

[ Hanging up! And addressing the sword. ]

Seriously... we really need to get out of here! And you! Go back into my hand, or... something!

Are you telling the sword you want it inside you Kazuki? I'm just checking here.

[ ... Y... es. ]

[ Shut up. ]

What if it's too embarrassed gosh? You're being really pushy! This is in public! Kind of. Even if no one is around.

[ IT'S FINE. ]

It's fine! C'mon?

But then you'll be alone.

It's not... Words. Or a voice in your head. It's not an emotion going YOU'LL BE ALONE so much as clearly a sense of worry for you.

[ It really is, and it's not like Kazuki isn't so afraid of that. But what would he be if he didn't face his fears and look out for the people that make him... him? ]

[ His hand is shaking at the feeling, but he grips onto the katana anyway, determined. ]

I'd rather be alone than you suffering. Got it? I need you to take care of yourself, so...

[ So someone out there will still remember who Naruse Kazuki really is? ]

I love you.

That feeling is stronger, and the sword stays in your hand.

Now you're just being stubborn!

[ He is cheered though, by that feeling, there's someone here to love. ]

You aren't alone, you have a sword! A sword that is also love, and that loves you, and that won't leave you.

I love you. Again, more steadily, constant, faint but strong at the same time.

... I love you too. Stupid.

And that's why you need to go back inside me!

Yeah no, the sword is not leaving you. She said she'd be with you, and even if she was inside before you clearly need something more tangible.

There's also the matter of the corruption which probably wouldn't be very good for you so. Sword in hand you go.

Can you at least tell me how to beat this black stuff?

A feeling of apology.
