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.]

[The blob seems to shudder a little. It's cold, but as it wraps around you it becomes a little warmer.

You get pulled in. Inside the shadow there's no light, but there is an odd comforting feeling.

You hear, like an echo, Pavo's voice telling you: "anything you want".]

[he shivers, but doesn't try to escape.]

Just... let me help, okay? Please. Let me carry on doing my best by you.

[The shadow ripples against your skin, brushes against your lips, affectionate and cloying and feeling just like when Pavo's trying to keep you at arm's length.

"Don't take that piece from here. ...Please."]

[...softly.]

Why?

[It doesn't answer in words. You're just washed over by a sense of fear and vulnerability -- he's telling you with that, instead. He's frightened of it. He thinks it'd hurt him.

The shadow clings more tightly, digging into your skin here and there.]

[embracing it as best he can, making soft, soothing noises.]

I won't let that piece hurt you. But... I need to judge for myself, okay? I am certainly taking your feelings into account, though.

[You can just feel Pavo laughing at you.

The shadow shifts a bit -- though you can't see it, you can feel the sensation of being lightly, teasingly kissed, and then breath at your ear.

"Protect me then, my strong and passionate big brother."

Aaaand then it dissipates into nothing. You stand alone before the spire.]

...I will.

[taking a moment, then looking to the spire. there was a form in it?]

[There is! A small one. Certainly not the size of a normal Pavo.]

[sssstepping around the spire, carefully trying to get a better look.]

[You cannot make out the figure! Just that it is there, frozen, curled up, small.]

[...pyro. gonna melt that spire.]

[You melt the spire! It crumbles with a glass-like twinkling noise, and there is now a small Pavo on his knees on the ground, gasping for air. He looks maybe 10 and very confused.]

[kneeling beside him, voice soft.]

Pavo.

[--!!

He looks up -- his right eye is visible, but it's just a black void.

He opens his mouth to say something. It comes out static, but you just know it was your name. Your real name.]

[...HUG THE TINY KAEYA]

[tiny Kaeya squeaks]

--Eh?! N-Noctua?

[nuzzles]

What do you represent?

[weeeeeeh he's gonna diiiiiie]

Uhm... That's...

[Was Pavo ever this shy? Maybe. When you first met, all those years ago.]

"Self-worth".

...Is it okay for you to stay here?

...This is where I belong.

Locked in the ice? Surely you can at least be where it's warm.

[shakes his head!

but also clings onto you 'cause of course he does]

This place is "myself". If I go somewhere else, it'd change "me" a lot...

Aah...

Then... let's make it more comfortable for you here, hm?

[he doesn't know how that works, but...]

Okay?
