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.))

Who're you?

"No need to ask for my autograph, for a pretty girl like you I'm the one and only, great Kida Masaomi."

Ah...Shark's friend, then. He's told me about you. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Apple.

[holds out her hand]

He takes it and bows over it. "I could eat you right up."

I...would appreciate it if you would at least hold that thought until this is finished. Because there's something more pressing at hand.

"And what is the pressing matter you want to pursue, beautiful lady?"

I want to help Shark. If you'd be willing to lend me your assistance, I'd appreciate it.

"It's nice of you to offer but I don't think I should let you."

And why is that?

"I'd be a pretty poor knight if I let a princess walk into a dragon's lair."

I'm not one for sitting still, sorry. If there's something I can do, I'm going to do it. You could always come with me.

"I can't."

[...]

Hmm. Then that's all the more reason for me to go. So that I can do the things you're unable to while you're here.

"You shouldn't have to."

But it's got to be done, all the same. If I don't move forward then I won't accomplish anything.

[...takes his hand '^'!!]

Thank you for worrying about me. But it'll be okay. Shark's looking out for us too, you know.

"If if he doesn't want it, it's going to hurt you."

What wouldn't he want?

[also looking through the piles for things, since apparently Kit says I need armor]

"I mean he doesn't! He doesn't want to hurt any of you, but you're going to be hurt anyway."

[please tell me there is knight armor in here so I can at least look like a knight]

But if we leave it how it is, then he's the one that's going to be hurting more. I wouldn't be able to face him if I didn't try my hardest for his sake.
