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.))

Well it looks like we fixed it.

Does this heart have to play more music at you? It will.

Oh good it was about to start playing this for you Nezumi.

Instead it shuffles some mild romantic moment instrumental swelling in the background.

Okay, okay, service is over, Shark. What more can we do here?

Ah—!

The room isn't fixed but it looks a lot better. The door out looks like it'll open without you having to climb up to the roof.

There's a ReadMe.txt on one of the computers.

[. . . clicks on that!]

Mouse, Dandelion, thanks. Things should start self-repairing now. Everything you've all done...

I really appreciate it.

Dragonfly should have the last piece and then... I think I can handle the rest.

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[sinkingship]

. . . hah.

[smiling a little]

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[everfixedmark]

Ah, I'm so glad. Shall we go back, then?

Re: Hall of Mirrors

[sinkingship]

. . . let's go meet up with everyone.
