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.]

As you go through the portal, you are stopped abruptly midway. You find yourself standing on a narrow platform of glass, with the darkness pressing in all around you. You hear a booming voice inside your mind. "How far will you go to win? Are there any lines that you can not or will not cross? Do the ends justify the means? Form a consensus and provide some detail. Please write your response below." There is a notebook and pen lying by your feet.

...this game, huh.

From:

unionoftheheart

Yeah...this game. Left both of us wrecks for entirely different reasons.

From:

orange_sun

*squeezes his hand*

At least we can agree on this pretty easily.

From:

unionoftheheart

[squeezing back]

Yeah...should I write it down?

From:

orange_sun

Yeah, if you've got a good idea for it.

From:

[closing his eyes for a bit to arrange things and then]

To win a game in Aather, I don't wish to go as far as hurting others without their consent, or sacrificing something that I'm unwilling to sacrifice. Or rather, I don't wish to hurt anybody at all, but if it must be done, I would rather it's somebody consenting if at all possible. Obviously there have been times when we are forced to do so in order to escape the game at all, but I know that's not what you're asking--you're asking what we would choose do, and a situation where we're forced to do something we wouldn't normally do can't really count as a choice.

I could...go into a lot more detail, but maybe that's enough for here?

From:

orange_sun

*nods*

I think that's probably enough, yeah.

[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.]

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

From:

unionoftheheart

[eee offering a smile]

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

"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?"

From:

[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.
