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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Over at the edge of the platform, jagged chains pierce through the glass, hooking into it like burrs. The chains lead off into the distance, toward what looks like another platform - one choked by a smoke-like darkness.

And on the opposite side of those chains, there is a walkway leading to yet another platform, this one brightly lit. However, this walkway seems to be blocked off with yellow caution tape.]

[yes those are the other platform paths 8( SO I GUESS NOTHING BESIDES THIS...

...heading onto the chains, then. time to visit the smoke platform. taking his broken-winged key buddy with.]

[the key burrows into your sleeves

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to cross the divide between those two platforms. The darkness between them feels airless and oppressive, as you get closer to it]

[do you mean that he won't be able to breathe if he keeps going, or that there's a barrier between crossing the divide, or—?]

[Yeah, he won't be able to breathe]

[UGH — reaches out to touch the chain, anyway.]

[It's freezing cold to the touch, and brittle with it. The darkness coming from the cracks where the chain hooks into the glass seems to coalesce abruptly into a monster.]

[—! draws his swords; I CAN HEAR WHEN THE BATTLE MUSIC COMES ON]

One of those things he talked about... come on, bring it!

[The Neoshadow attacks. But you're an RPG protag. It doesn't really stand a chance.]

What in the world was that?!

[trying to grab the chain again]

Edited 2013-06-13 18:53 (UTC)

[The chain is still cold and brittle. Cold enough you can feel it through gloves if you're wearing any. Touching it gives you a pervasive sense of wrongness.]

[...hacking at it >( GTFO, CHAIN]

[A few hard hits with a sword, and the chain shatters, pieces falling into the abyss. The atmosphere around you becomes a bit less oppressive]

[staring down into the abyss]

Where does that go? Can we get some light in there...?

[There's no reply]

[can you repair the glass where the chain was?]

[It looks like a finicky process, but it's probably manageable if you know what you're doing]

[DOESN'T SUPER KNOW HOW but is patient and willing to put tiny bits of glass back together for some time.]

[Perseverance makes a big difference, and you slowly but surely fill in the cracks.]

[any difference once that's complete?]

[The platform feels more secure, and you sense a small undercurrent of confidence]

Hmmm...

[goes to check on the caution tape path — does it seem like this can be traveled on?]

[Yep!]

[ducking under the caution tape to head up there for now, then!]

[Flashes of memory burst across your mind: Touching a coin to a bright heart inside a skeleton of a cat and making a fiery feline come to life. An egg shape bursting open and something exuberantly leaving the shell. Striking at the chains which hold a minotaur and cyclops captive and freeing them. Clambering across the roof of a train and freeing the kidnapped Personae... Good memories - a first for this heart run. They're a bit dampened, but still a relief]
