Pavo Heart Game: Noctua's Grand Adventure

[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.]

Well enough.

...I'm authorized to give you a certain amount of help. Should I tell you how to activate these locks?

Re: OFFICE

[nods]

Please.

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

Elemental energy. You only need to touch them once, but there are several to find. If you do, that big door out there will open to you.

Re: OFFICE

[pyrodelusion]

[give both of us a moment to feel dumb]

One moment.

[ELEMENTAL SIGHT: ON]

[cryovision]

[You are back in the Other Office?!]

Re: OFFICE

[pyrodelusion]

[touches the thing.]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[you touch it with your pyro energy and it lights up! in the distance you hear a click.]

Re: OFFICE

[pyrodelusion]

[all right. elemental sight: off.]

Thank you.

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[the lock is still there with elemental sight off. Jean seems proud.]

Thank you, Master Noctua.

[She doesn't call him "Sir". Because it's not really Jean, and all that.]

Re: OFFICE

[pyrodelusion]

[That throws him a little, but he nods and moves back to the hall. glancing at the central lock.]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[That lock appears to have not changed at all. The knight you left looks a little flustered.]

Oh-- You're back. You looked so determined I didn't want to stop you but, if you could...

Re: OFFICE

[pyrodelusion]

My mistake.

[coming over again to touch the lock.]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[you activate the lock, and hear another click!]

Thank you so much! There should be a few more around here somewhere, if you could keep an eye out.

Re: OFFICE

[pyrodelusion]

Of course. Is there anything else you need before I look for the rest?

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

Not in here. But... "I" am glad you're here.

Re: OFFICE

[pyrodelusion]

...All right.

[HE WASN'T READY FOR FEELINGS.]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[too bad. Where to next?

You have the red door that rattles, the blue door that's cold, the stone-framed door that's warm, and upstairs]

Re: OFFICE

[pyrodelusion]

[red door.]
