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.))

"Consider it that."

You'll have to clarify a little.

"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.

"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.

"We're a pair, huh?"

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

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

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

Get some things running! The room seems a little lighter, more... functional and alive even? Despite it all being machines. Still trashed as fuck though.

There just doesn't seem to be anything connected to you...

[Is there anything else I can access on the computers at the moment? If not, he's going to pull up "Exit" on the command module.]

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

Nothing at the moment.

When you click "exit" the jammed door hisses to life.

[well, out we go]

Re: Control Room

[digitalemperor]

Out you go.
