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.))

Static shocks you but you get the computer running. The monitor it's hooked up to currently isn't working though.

[flexes his fingers, cursing and wishing his mice were here :\]

[reaching back to see if there's some wires that need to be connected, or, if that fails, if he can connect it to a different monitor]

The first monitor is busted. But you can connect it to a working one. Once you do, there's a hummingbird logo on the home screen and a trash can. The only icons.

[checks the trash]

There seems to be a voice chat client in it.

. . .

[clicks and drags it back to the desktop]

You now know who you can call, like a mental contact list. Seems there's something else in the trash can, weirdly?

[what is it? is it "good decisions?"]

[other than the other people in the heart, who is on the contact list?]

Only the PCs in the heart right now. But no, it's a GPS app.

[let's get that back up and running, too]

There's a weight in your pocket.

[checking! is it my friend cellphone?]

It is your awesome smartphone yes.

[okay, hold that thought—clicking the hummingbird logo on the computer, first]

Someone is calling you while the program loads.

[I had ironically actually just gone to find that on my own, but yes, excellent]

[multitasking]

You are the best clearly.

Meanwhile the program loads with a cute video of a really stupid puppy chewing up the furniture and flopping over pathetically.

You now have a similar display as before on the monitor, as well as some extra options like "Command" and "Exit".

. . .

[checks "Command"]

Command list:
> Kill
> Revive
> Set as Immortal Object

[UH]

[. . . flips open his GPS . . .]

You see a map of the heart! Big surprise. Only rooms people are in are labeled. And because I forgot to make a map in photoshop I'll do my best to describe it:

There is a room not connected to anything with your icon in it, it's called Command. There's another room that seems to have no exit with Kazuki's icon.

Selenia is in a third room unconnected called The Web.

There's a room with most of the people in the heart, called Game Shark, connected to it with red is Dining Room which connects to Gallery. The other exits and connections are ???.

[am I able to pull up error messages or peoples' statuses like last time?]

Strangely there are no error messages. But you can pull up people's status.

[That Is Concerning]

[how is everyone doing . . .]
