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.))

This is gross...

[starts moving along the seam, dragging the sword with him. CUT ALONG THE CORRUPTED, EVIL LINE....]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

It IS pretty gross. It makes squelching noises as you work. You have a section of corruption cut but how are you going to pry it up?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[floorcandy]

[puts the sword back in his bag and draws new weapons out. going to try prying it up with his sickles]

Shark, you're ruining all my weaponry.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

How many weapons do you have?? (How many does one guy need?????)

Anyway you. Do that. The blackness clings and roils, spilling like ink and moving like living malice to try to splash on you, but you pry out a little black box....

[floorcandy]

[avoiding the blackness like it's made of BEES, i remember wars i am not letting that stuff on me]

[GRABS THE BOX ANS SKITTERS]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Go go Mikage go! The box does have a little of the inky stuff on it though are you barehanded...?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[floorcandy]

[wearing gloves!]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

It gets them black and inky and stings like numbing nettles but you're fine.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[floorcandy]

OW ow ow OW ow!

[can i open the box]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

You can open the box! It's a mimic! It eats you--

No. There's a glass shard inside, colored and larger than the others collected.

There's also a silver and pink lantern in miniature you may remember it.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[floorcandy]

[strips off his gloves to take the shard and the lantern out a-ahhh why is this here lighting the lantern with a zaiphon spark first thing]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

It's blindingly bright! Except not blinding. The shadows scatter to the edges of the light.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[floorcandy]

Nice~♥

[kisses the glass shard, then holds it up in front of the lantern]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

You feel better.

And the light turns into a beautiful prism of shining colors.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[sinkingship]

[in Mikage's ear]

Incoming.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[floorcandy]

[JUMPS but does not throw things this time, I am learning!!]

Yessir, on stand-by!

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ GUESS WHO'S ARRIVING. Dropping bits of stuff to detonate as we go. ]

Mikage! There you are!

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[appleofhiseye]

[dropping bombs yay]

Mikage!

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[blackjacked]

[I guess we're all leaving C4 trails behind us as we go]

Nice thinking!

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[brotagonist]

Much better light! Much better.

[BOMBS AWAY]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

Mouse seems to know the path out so you can assume that with Mikage's light protecting you and the C4 brigade leaving presents, you all make it to safety.

So who has the detonator?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[appleofhiseye]

[I have like 50

you will have to be more specific?]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

I mean the remote switch oops.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[brotagonist]

I think I've got a switch!



...let's all pull it together, guys. Masaomi, Anri, you too.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[digitalemperor]

"Do it."
