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.))

"I bet I'm an especially weird heart...."

Sighs and leans into the ruffle. "I didn't want anyone hurt but I'm also glad you found me."

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

I'm not arguing that you're a weirdo! I'm glad we found you too...

[hesitates]

That reminds me too! I think... I ended up seeing a lot of stuff you might not have wanted people to know about easily.

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

"....What did you see?"

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

Some of your past. I told you a little about that much...

[hesitates; there are people in this room]

Some stuff in Aather.

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

"Ah... It can't be helped if you see things in a heart, right? Is it something you need to tell me...?"

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

I dunno if it's something I need to tell you, but... it's something I wouldn't mind talking to you about! Outside the heart.

In other words, I'd like to get to know you better for real! Not just because I was part of why your heart got screwed up, and wanted to help fix things, and Dream interfered with you a lot.

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

Feelings!!!

"Ah.... I'd like that too.... I really would."

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

[I EAT FEELINGS FOR BREAKFAST]

Great! Then it's a promise.

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

You monster...!

Laughing though, happy. "Okay. It's a promise. You'll have to remind me...!"

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

I will for sure.

So, what happens now? Do you have a plan for the future yet?

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

Shaking his head. "I have... I have to think about it but it's fine. I have to fix everything, first."

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

All right... I'll be here till you know.

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

"And after, right?"

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

You bet.

[IS KIDA HERE NOW, IS HE HIDING IN THE DOORWAY OR SOMETHING?]

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

Totally here, watching fondly.

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

Masaomi, come here!

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

"What's up?"

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

You gave me your scarf, so I wantd to give you somethng back!

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

"You've already given me a lot though." Like pie.

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

It's still nice to have a reminder, right?

[cuts the end off of one of his trailing scarf ribbons and ties it firmly around Kida's wrist as a bracelet!!]

There. Nobody would've made it here without you, so we're grateful!

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

Surprised and... Really touched. He doesn't know what to say at all.

"What--what an embarrassing guy!"

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

What an easily embarrassed guy, more like! Shape up, Masaomi!

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

"You're the one doing--Don't tell me you've fallen for me too?!"

Re: True Heart

[brotagonist]

No. I like you a lot though! You're a good guy!

Re: True Heart

[digitalemperor]

"It's alright--I know my face is criminal with all the hearts its broken."
