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.]

[chewing his lip] "Breaking a platform's not great, but it's fixable."

*...peers over the edge...*

From:

twilight_boy

[There seems to be nothing but darkness between this platform set and the dark platform the chains connect to]

From:

antreegonist

*shivers.*

Besides the chains, is this place usually like this?

From:

twilight_boy

"This part's pretty new, but yeah."

From:

antreegonist

When'd it show up?

From:

twilight_boy

"After the game."

From:

antreegonist

Oh.

...if you haven't had it after other games, then -- it's a combination of stuff, right?

From:

twilight_boy

"Just the Jabberwock game for the other half, and this last one."

From:

antreegonist

Why not any of the others? How long has this been building up?

From:

twilight_boy

"I think... yeah, it had to build to become like this. The last game was just the final brick."

From:

antreegonist

*...sighs a bit...scribbles 'guilt' on one of the Dream-provided stickers and plasters it on the floor of the platform*

Sorry, I just figure this should be done so we don't get whiplashes out of here early or something.

From:

twilight_boy

"It's fine."

From:

antreegonist

*THE STICKER DOESN'T SHRIVEL DOES IT*

From:

twilight_boy

[Nope, it stays]

From:

antreegonist

*oh whew.*

...Whiskey went the other way, right? Maybe we should try to report back to Isa together.

From:

twilight_boy

"You and Whiskey?"

From:

antreegonist

Nah, you and me.

From:

twilight_boy

"I don't think I can leave here."

From:

antreegonist

*h...huffs gently; hearts!*

Can you come with me to the other platform? The one with...Jabberwock's stuff.

From:

twilight_boy

"I can try, but I don't think so. Especially not if there's another me there."

From:

antreegonist

Ohhh. Okay, that makes sense...I think...

Wait here, then. I'll check it fast.

*and doing so 'o'b*

As you get closer, you can identify the bodies. Lightning, Viridian, Ginger and Kakashi lie sprawled on the glass, looking like they’ve been crushed to death. You can also see a blood-spattered pocket watch in the same pile. Off to the side, you can see Ven’s body. There are no apparent injuries, but he’s just as dead as the rest of them.

There is a single figure up on the scaffold. It’s Roxas, dressed in a blood-spattered Emerald uniform from Beauty’s realm.

Jagged chains pierce the glass on the side of the platform, 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.
