Pavo Heart Game: Sunday Session
When you enter the light, you find yourself hovering weightless in a void, as if caught in a moment of falling inertia. In the distance, you hear a voice that seems to shift and twist, familiar and yet unfamiliar.
"You shouldn't be here. But since you already are, let's make a wager. If you can uncover the truth, you'll find me. If you can't, you may be hopelessly lost... What a shame that would be."
You begin falling, and your vision blacks out--
[OOC NOTE: your goals are "reveal the truth" to "find the true heart". All images in toplevels are for general inspo, please make sure you read the flavourtext cause things are not exactly as they are in the images.]

Re: ICE MAZE
[ for a moment he freezes... like he had hoped he would get a bit of reprieve from the whispers, but, nope, instead it gets worse. a lot worse. he tightens his grip on his weapons and starts attempting to destroy anything & everything. ]
[ lies! it's all lies! ]
[ but then he remembers the arrival of the other childe and that *he* had died and that maybe... no. ]
I'll show you weak! [ SUMMONING A MOTHERFUCKEN WHALE TO TRY TO CRASH IN ON YOUR MAZE. ]

Attempt to hook one arm around Childe's waist and pull him back so that they don't both get drenched with water when that thing makes contact and freeze to death. ]
I do not know what they are saying but I ask that you not listen to them.
Re: ICE MAZE
The impact breaks a few spikes, but it also creates a whole new layer of reflective ice all over the ground and the previously too-rough-to-reflect surfaces. Due to the water seeping outward, this reflective puddle has trapped their shoes a little. But more important is the roar of criticism in Childe's head, accusations of lying and faking and worthlessness and inevitable death.
And then, fully visible to both of you, the reflections suddenly reach their twisted limbs out of the ice. They are emerging as distorted clones of the both of you, their shapes inhuman and their movements jerky and unsettling. Due to the new ice, there are now dozens of enemies, and more emerging as the others leave the ice free to reflect again. You will be swarmed, and quickly, if you're not careful.
You could try to fight them. You could also leave the way you came, or further into the maze.]
Re: ICE MAZE
[ he keeps himself pressed into zhongli and backs them both up toward the door, inevitably shoving him out and slamming it shut as soon they're back in the main hall. ]
...
[ he dispels his weapons and just stalks back and forth like an animal for a bit, trying to clear his head of all of the negativity. once he sufficiently manages he'll just head for the door with the favonious emblem on it. ]
Re: ICE MAZE
Considering all that has happened to Childe in the past few days, perhaps now is not the best time to pry... ]
