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 know you're somewhere I can't reach. What do you need to know?"

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

I've found the control room. I got the main systems up and running again, at least, but . . .

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

"...But?"

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

Last time, I could read where there were errors. This time, there's nothing.

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

"Maybe because everything's an error right now."

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

That was the conclusion I'd come to, but that's for confirming it.

Are we really going in here blind?

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

I can answer some things... The more you do the better your directions will get, I think.

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

I see.

[chews on his lower lip]

I have the option here to set something as an "Immortal Object."

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

"Do you know what an NPC is?"

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

Yeah.

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

"Consider it that."

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

You'll have to clarify a little.

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

"You can't kill an NPC right? So they're immortal except for plot points. But that means they can't advance the story either."

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

Hah . . . alright, then.

Do you know what's up with the percentages?

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

"Percentages?"

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

One of the rooms that had some damage done to it now reads as 49% on my GPS.

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

"That could be good or bad. Sorry I'm not much help."

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

It's okay. I'm not sure I am either.

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

"We're a pair, huh?"

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

[with sort of a quiet fondness]

He's such a pain.

[while talking, is going around to see if there's anything else he can put back together—plug anything in, or patch anything together]

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

You manage to actually salvage a few other machines this way. Be wary of the growing puddle of water though.

[> boot computers, check controls]

[> move anything he can into a safer position]

[> check his own location on the map in regards to proximity to anybody else; whose position is closest, if he was to send someone trying to find the room above his?]

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

Calling Mouse.

Re: Control Room

[sinkingship]

[can I group call people?]

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

Yes.
