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.]

No! It's! Not!

[kicks his clone in the stomach. the greater weight of clone-Diluc's weapon is gonna be an issue, but he'll have to manage.]

You fucking idiot! I will not kill Pavo.

[Oof! He stumbles back, but then smiles a sharp and angry smile.]

That's what you think. When it comes down it, "Noctua" sure has a temper.

[And then he charges again, nothing but pain and fury on his face. You know instinctively, even though you've never seen it from the outside, but it's the same sort of expression you made that night.]

[oh he hates that, but he digs his heels in, readying himself to block the blow.]

I will not! No matter what he tells me! No matter what he does!

[You block it! The force of your will seems to make your strength swell, filling you with the fire of determination! You're more powerful than you've ever been. Elemental energy rises like a tide within you.

But can you cut yourself down, this way?]

Re: DARKNESS

[pyrodelusion]

[no. he can't. he doesn't want his blood on even this "pavo's" hands.

what he does is kick him down, then stab Aquila Favonius through his clone's hands. he knows he has enough determination to get out of that, but he's hoping to be gone by then.]

No more. We won't kill each other. Remember that.

[You successfully subdue and pin your clone! Once you do, he doesn't struggle.

He just starts laughing. Bitterly, painfully, a hundred horrible emotions spilling out into laughter that sounds like sobs and echoes with the screams of the dead and dying.

Your vison goes black, but you can still hear it. It tears at you like something alive, but then...

Then you wake up.]
