Heart Game!

[twilight_boy]

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.]

[As you finish writing your answer, the ground is whisked away from under your feet, and for a moment, you feel swallowed up by the darkness. It’s unpleasant but takes no more space and time than a breath, and then you are deposited on what looks like the grassy shore of a lake. There’s a woman by the water, scrubbing what looks like a blood-stained Emerald uniform. She seems to be angry and frustrated, hands rough on the material.

There are jagged metal chains hooked into the ground by her feet, their ends disappearing into the water.]

[.....coming over to crouch beside her]

Hey, Knife.

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

[she brightens a little when she sees you.] ''lo Ven. Come to help out?"

Re: Mission 2

[unionoftheheart]

[eee offering a smile]

Of course. May I...? [do laundry. WONDER TWIN BOYFRIEND POWERS ACTIVATE I GUESS]

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

"Be my guest. Just don't think I'm gonna go easy on your twin because of it. He's being a self-destructive little shitmoppet again, ain't he?"

Re: Mission 2

[unionoftheheart]

[getting to scrubbing. with vigor. is the blood green or red out of curiosity]

[and considering that for a bit] I don't know what happened yet, but...he remembered something awful, even worse than when his best friend died, and he's blaming himself for whatever happened. He...shut down. I could feel that much, I...didn't know what else to do but come in here and try to help.

Or maybe you know that already, but...whatever he remembered, I don't think he'd feel this guilty for no reason.

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

[Red]

[she shakes her head, rueful] "Wish I knew what he'd remembered. But whatever it was, he fucked up pretty big, or at least felt like he did."

Re: Mission 2

[unionoftheheart]

[nods, kind of contemplative as he scrubs fiercely]

It...doesn't take much for him to blame himself for something, we have that in common.

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

[reaches over to ruffle his hair] "Dumbasses."

Re: Mission 2

[unionoftheheart]

[o-oh no '^' leaning into it like a cat]

...yeah, that's us.

Why is...this here, though? It was months ago, I thought you guys had worked it out...is the new blame bringing old stuff up again?

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

"You're telling me. And here I was, just two weeks from retirement, when this old shit get stirred up again."

Re: Mission 2

[unionoftheheart]

[giving the uniform another dunk and swirl]

Is that...why those weird chains are there? I'd never seen anything like those before...

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

[she nods] "Neither've I, till now."

Re: Mission 2

[orange_sun]

*now there's a face he hasn't seen in a long time*

Hey, Knife.

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

[she waves with a free hand] "Josh, right? Hi."

Re: Mission 2

[orange_sun]

*approaching her*

Yeah, that's right. Need a hand with that?

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

[she wipes a hand across her brow] Help yourself.

Re: Mission 2

[orange_sun]

Any chance you could let me know how the symbolism works here?

*glancing at the chains as he reaches for the uniform*

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

"Donno about symbolism, but if you're thinking those fuckers are trouble, you're not wrong."

Re: Mission 2

[orange_sun]

Yeah. I'm wondering what kind of trouble, mostly.

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

"Not supposed to be here. Weren't here, till somethin' happened, outside."

Re: Mission 2

[orange_sun]

Are they supposed to be anywhere, or should we try to get rid of them?

*laundry is probably happening here at some point*

Re: Mission 2

[twilight_boy]

[The bloodstains lessen, though they don't disappear entirely]

"Do 'em in, I say."

Re: Mission 2

[orange_sun]

Right.

*eyeing the lake, thoughtfully*
