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.]

If you look down, this platform may not look all that different from the one in the Grey Room. Beneath your feet is the same vista of Twilight Town. Everything else about the room is different, however. Each of the walls is a gigantic movie screen, with a memory playing out on it, on endless repeat.

Darkness crowds the platform, choking it like smoke, though it does nothing to obscure the memory playback. Its source is clear: a towering black shadow. Its yellow eyes glint malignantly, and the darkness pours from the heart-shaped hole in its chest.

Facing it alone is the girl from the memory. She’s doing her best, but it’s clear that the battle she’s fighting is a losing one, especially as her keyblade flickers in and out of existence. The shadow lunges at her, and her keyblade seems to give out for good.

She staggers to her knees. “No... Not now!” Her own form begins to flicker as well, till she herself is barely visible...

As this is happening, Whiskey and Whiskey alone feels a soft tap on his shoulder and a voice in his ear. “Please, help me. We’ve got to get more light in here.” He vanishes before your eyes - though one of the screens immediately shifts to show you all his new location.

Fail you, hell. I'm not going to fail Roxas.

*calling up his armor, and holding out a hand as a golden keyblade materializes*

[aberdevine]

[not exactly getting up in the Darkside's face, but stepping forward and summoning a fistful of razor-sharp feathers that he launches at it. like arrows, they'll embed themselves in whatever they hit, or cause grazing damage if they fly by the side.]

Re: Player Turn

[orange_sun]

*letting Bonten harry it for now; a long leap carries him to land between the Darkside and Xion and he kneels, one hand ready to release his aura, the other using the tip of One Becomes All to draw complex squarish symbols in golden light on the surface of the platform*

[brotagonist]

[GUESS WHO DOESN'T HAVE ANY LONG RANGED ATTACKS!

charging in for the old Darkside strategy of ATTACK THE ANKLES for now—]

Re: Player Turn

[unionoftheheart]

[also landing in front of Xion, keybade out in guard, bodily shielding her as he frantically tries to...well ok see whether she still exists first off...not attacking yet]

Xion--Xion--would a heal help--?

Re: Player Turn

[antreegonist]

*darting up into the air to harry the Darkside about the head, the sword in his hand quickly overlaid with the image of a wooden Keyblade; pick on someone else D<*

NPC Reaction

[Xion looks up at Ven.] Only if you've got enough for the rest of you. [trying and failing to resummon her keyblade] Argh! I... I can't...

The Darkside charges at Xion, and as it does, it runs into Josh's wards. They light up, pushing it back, and it roars with fury. Bonten's feathers slice into its gigantic hands, one sticking right in the middle. As the Darkside goes to remove the feather, it fails to dodge Lloyd and Mithos's sword attacks.

Boss Turn

[twilight_boy]

Okay, now the Darkside's noticed you all! Josh's barrier may keep it from attacking Xion and Josh, but the rest of you aren't so lucky. It whirls, swinging its fists at full force, one aimed at Ven and the other at Mithos.

[bites off a curse; there's nothing he can do to help the fliers from down here]

Re: Player Reaction

[orange_sun]

*ffff glancing at Ven and Mithos, then at the Words of Power burning in mingled black and white, then at Xion*

Are you going to be okay here? I think this'll hold.

Re: Player Reaction

[aberdevine]

[welp at least they're people I more or less trust to take care of themselves]

Re: Player Reaction

[unionoftheheart]

[somebody is distracted and having about one million too many feelings--throwing himself aside in a dodge roll, but not entirely in time, grunting in pain and a whoosh of lost breath as giant knuckles scrape his side]

[though he barely even seems to notice]

Re: Player Reaction

[antreegonist]

*BARREL ROLL BARREL ROLL*

Re: Player Turn

[brotagonist]

[EXCEPT he can still hammer further at the Darkside's ankle and leg, trying to bring it to its knees and throw off its aim!]

Re: Player Turn

[aberdevine]

[sends more feathers at the ankle Lloyd isn't attacking. maybe they'll take out a few Shadows if they spawn.]

Re: Player Turn

[unionoftheheart]

--Heal!

[immediately firing off a Cura at Xion when he pops up from his dodge roll]

[and then summoning his armor and closing fast, he'll start attacking next turn promise]
