Pavo Heart Game: Monday Session

[cryovision]

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.]

Maybe.

[Noctua doesn't seem impressed though.... Just a little sad.]

Still, there are parts of "me" that really ought to be private.

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[outofoffice]

Maybe so.

But sometimes secrets kept can be wounds left to fester unnecessarily.

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[cryovision]

Secrets can be a lot of things.

[Noctua remains impassive, setting down the clean glass in its proper place and picking up another from the bar. There's blood on the underside, and that on the bar pools into the space left by the glass.]

[ Approaching Pavo, after a moment ]

. . . Is he dead?

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[cryovision]

[From this different angle, you can see that Pavo appears to be very dead, but at the same time, he has a satisfied smile on his bloody lips.]

Yes. That's a useless piece that died four years ago.

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[outofoffice]

He said this was "relationships."

So then, what piece was this?

[ He's sure he already knows, but . . . ]

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[cryovision]

The sense of security. Safety and belonging.

[shrug!!]

It's dangerous, so "I" elected to have it removed.

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[outofoffice]

[ PAVO ]

I see.

You're still here, though. Even when it's like this.

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[cryovision]

True. I guess "I" can't help getting attached. But as long as that piece is dead, I won't get so comfortable it comes back to bite me.

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[outofoffice]

[ Well. He probably can't bring heart figments back to life.

And -- would it really be his place to do so anyway? It's not as if he can't understand. ]

Well then, you'll simply have to promise to keep yourself safe.

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[cryovision]

...I probably couldn't die no matter how hard "I" tried to kill me.

[HUFFS. Not!Noctua has real Noctua's expressions and body language down PERFECTLY to the tiniest detail. All the others may be a bit off but Not This One.]

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[outofoffice]

[ Cute . . . ]

I'll rest easier knowing that.



[ Ok let's go find that switch we were supposed to be looking for ]

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[cryovision]

[It is behind a free-standing cabinet in the corner! Easy peasy, if you reach in or move it.]

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[outofoffice]

[ It's a tavern.

Clearly we CLIMB THE CABINET and SLAP THE BUTTON. ]

Re: ANGEL'S SHARE

[cryovision]

[Clearly we do!

The lock lights up and you hear a distant click!

...I forgot to note your anemo party in the office also would've gotten you a click so just pretend that happened. Which means you're down to two more rooms!]
