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.

((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.))

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

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

A feeling of apology.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

Stop saying sorry. I'm not gonna put you anywhere near the mirrors either.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

What if it wants to kiss you but it's a sword? ///

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ I guess this is turning into a weird loved story of a broken person seeking proof of himself and love and his sword, then?? ]

[ Which is to say, kissing the sword again. Not making out, but... yeah. ]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

As it turns out the black corruption fades a bit when you do--and you're holding and kissing Anri, not a sword. So that's pretty nice.

[ WHO KNEW HELPING THE REPRESENTATION OF LOVE WOULD BE LOVING IT? ]

[ ... no, yeah, this is pretty nice-- the touch especially Kazuki's desperate for, dragging Anri up against him rather than questioning it. ]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Scandalous.

Which is to say, she presses up against him willingly and is kissing back and you're loved and wanted and you exist at least to her.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ Good thing we're together then. Kazuki's starting to feel invincible, just a little. ]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Funny story my keywords for this icon are 'kissing kings'. Which is exactly what's going on right now.

And you should feel invincible Kazuki, she loves you--rather, Mikado loves you, and the feel of it is much stronger and steadier and more alive and real and solid and warm and she's warm and soft and pressed against you.

So. Good job figuring that puzzle out.

She hasn't actually stopped kissing you. The more you give the more she gives back in emotion.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ Maybe I should tell Lloyd you're okay now... ]

[ Nah. Maybe later. This is just really really nice and needed right now. ]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

What if she just holds you and keeps kissing you until you break it off because that's going to happen.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ Sounds good then!! ]

[ Kazuki is also enjoying having a girl/i>friend, ngl. Sorry Mikado? ]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

When she's not a heart NPC she's actually really shy so probably not your type, but hey, it's not like Mikado can actually blame anyone for finding her hot... Obviously?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ Obviously. That said, Kazuki's breaking it off right now to just smile at her brilliantly. ]

Hi! Doing better?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Shy nod?? She's blushing and looking down idk what it says that Mikado's representation of love is shy, but also toppy and fierce, but there you go.

"How about you, Kazuki-kun?"

She touches your face where you tried to stab yourself.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

I'm better now you're here~

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"I've been with you the whole time... You just couldn't see me."

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

You know what I mean. It's different!

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"I know."
