Pavo Heart Game: Noctua's Grand Adventure

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.]

[is there anything left in its place?]

[just more terrible creepy maze! But you're getting closer to the center!]

[FORGES ONWARD]

[You keep going! Every so often, when you turn, you find another pleasant scene. A warm hearth, a rooftop with a gentle breeze. But every time you enter them, they disappear. The sense of eyes on you doesn't let up, but you do, eventually, reach the center.

There, you find a small hollow, free from the cold. There's a fireplace and a plush sofa, on which Pavo is lounging with a cocktail glass in hand.]

You made it, huh? That was brave.

[climbing into his lap. '-']

I was looking for you, so it was worth it.

[SOMEONE is dere.]

[:) Just gonna cuddle then.]

Oh? For little old me?

Any part of you.

[nuzzles.]

How sweet of you.

[Don't mind him just wrapping his arms tight around you and kissing your face.]

You did well to get through there. Now that you did... What do you want this place to be? I can make it into anything you want.

...I want you to be you.

[gentle, kiss.]

Then I'll be me. But what kind of me do you want? And what kind of setting?

[running his fingers along Noctua's thigh]

Tell me all your cute fantasies, Noctua...

Pavo...

I need to forge onward. I can't stay too long.

[another kiss, chaste.]

It's fine. You have plenty of time. And I have the thing you want.

Even so... I can't let myself entirely relax.

[so no sex ty.]

Can I have it?

[p o u t s]

When you won't even play with me?

Please? I want to do right by you.

[Just. Kinda laughs. He knows very well that entertaining him is not "doing right by" the heart but HE DOES NOT CARE.]

So then don't withhold your affection. I'm a piece of "me", too. Is there really nothing you want? I'll be anything you ask for.

[another kiss and nuzzle.]

Help me help you?

...

[This NPC doesn't really like that answer... Why won't Noctua just tell him what to be???

...But... He knows that that wouldn't "help" him at all. So he's a liiiittle conflicted.

But he's a bad boy so he's not going to tell the truth.]

Fine, fine.

[He produces the lock from his pocket and hands it over.]
