twilight_boy | Heart Game!

Characters: Heart gamers
Location: Heart
Time: Day ??, Time ?? (Will get placed into timeline when done)
Description:

[Okay, so here's what went down. At some point, Roxas took a bad memory that dovetailed badly with some of the other stuff going on in his head. Ven felt something go really wrong and contacted Dream and the rest of you ASAP. Dream allowed an emergency heart game to take place, giving you all an additional task as a quest:

Everyone will get pens and stickers that they will write on. Each person running will have five stickers that they have to use to try to identify something in the heart. It can be used on people, objects, the air, whatever rolls for you, so, for example, "I am going to put this sticker on Roxas, because he is clearly Roxas" or "This stone must be a stone and not a representation of his deep, weighing sense of guilt".

Guesses can be whatever the character thinks the object is. There is no limit to guesses! The catch is that the sticker will shrivel up if their guess is not correct. They cannot use the sticker again if this happens. If it is correct, then it will remain on the object with no effects whatsoever upon Roxas' heart. (Halfway answers which you might run into get shriveled up but don't come off nor do they reveal the whole message of what they were supposed to be.) If they want to use another sticker on the same object . . . No deal. Likewise, people cannot guess on the same object that someone else has.]

"They will not send you directly, but they provide indicators of what's to come. See me, when you're ready to leave, and I will open the way."

All right. Thanks a ton.

*going to...go look at the words/tally marks before the pictures, then, actually*

There are a number of words scrawled out side-by-side, with tally marks underneath: Saix, Xemnas, Riku, DiZ, Self. There is one other name, but it’s been scratched out hard enough to obscure the letters. Xemnas and DiZ have question marks underneath as well as tallies. The word ‘self’ has been underlined several times, as though the writer had come to a conclusion.

*what are the tallies under each? also, brushes his fingers gently over 'self'...*

Shut up. Do you want my help or not?

Seven each, under Xemnas and Saix. DiZ and Riku have a couple. Self has too many tallies to count. There's only one tally under the scratched out name.

...When you touch 'self', you are hit with a near-crippling feeling of guilt and grief.

[...what happens if he touches the red one...]

"I do have some use for you."

[A brief flash of horrible carnage surrounding you - too brief to get any details, and a pervasive feeling of stunned grief. You can also tell that there's more than one experience in there.]

Then lemme hear it. What am I reconnaissance...ing?

"There are several areas which have gotten critically tied in with the current crisis. I wish to determine the point at which such a connection had occurred and why, and to terminate said connection if possible."

[shuddering a little and squeezing Josh's hand tighter]

...that's...a couple of things together...

*squeezing back, reassuring*

Probably why we can't make out what it looks like.

*g-gasps and puts a hand to his chest*

Roxas--

*checks the others*

[as you take your hand away from self, the grief is tamped down with a grim certainty.

Touching 'Xemnas' gets an echo of a voice in your mind. "I'm going to kill him!" And, quieter, "But what's the connection?"

...Okay. Do I get to know what areas those are?

You're asking me...

*nothing for the others?*

[gesturing at the pictures.] "Those should provide some context."

Probably...

...it looked bad, too. Do you want to start there, or somewhere more familiar...?

[Whoops, my bad]

Saix: "Someone who treated her like that... Even if he was Axel's friend, I can't forgive that."

DiZ: irrational rage at whoever this is, but again, "how is he connected?"

Riku: "I know he was involved, but he's trying." The feelings here are mostly tired and resigned.

Touching the scratched-out name gets you static, as though something here is shying away from it. "No! Not her - this is never okay!"

Maybe we'd better check out something familiar first.

Oh... hang in there, Roxas.

*going to look at the pictures now*

The pictures all appear to be drawn in crayon or colored pencil and are quite good. There are six of them in total. One features a redheaded man wreathed in flame. Another, a green-colored man holding his own severed head. The third is a portrait of a blonde woman in an ornate gown, something which might be a leash stretching from her hand. The fourth seems more abstract than the others, torn carefully in half, both halves covered in red color. The fifth seems to be a landscape covered in tiny keys. Lastly, the sixth... You try to look at it, but your eyes seem unable to focus in. It’s housed under a pane of shattered glass, the glass further obscuring its contents.

Huh...

Wait--before we move on.

[can I use one of the labels on you. to make you "organization"]

Huh?

*gently touches the shattered pane*
