Pavo Heart Game: Wednesday Session

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.]

....are you okay?

[But she will take one of the boxes.] Like my things? [I have a bag where I take NOTES, and I couldn't. ):]

I think so. Things are just... a little unstable right now.

[Inside the box is... a round stone held in a setting of golden wings. It looks like the ones Pavo & Noctua carry around, only it's the deep golden colour of amber, carrying a symbol resembling a crystalline stone. When you touch it, you feel a rush of elemental energy into your body -- you know, instinctively, that you can now control the element of earth. Rocks and soil are at your beck and call, and you can create them from nothing, or simply generate elemental energy at will.

There's also an oddly shaped tile bearing a map of the constellation Horologium. On the back a message is written in a slightly blocky, runic handwriting:

The elements know the truth of this world.]

I have to say, you vision bearers sure are lucky. Fighting aside, Elemental Sight makes life a lot easier.

Speaking of which... There's something I think you could help me with, if you don't mind.

[I mean, I could always control earth, though generating it from nothing is certainly newer. Not a lot of spells just make rock from nothing.]

[But she's seen Pavo with something like this...] Is this Pavo's...dream?

[She is going to pocket these though. Elements know the truth, huh? Sounds legit.]

Vision bearer?

What is it?

You don't know?

[He seems kind of surprised! But then, as if something suddenly occurs to him, he nods to himself.]

Right, right, you're not from Teyvat. A vision is that stone you have there. It's a blessing from the gods that allows you to channel an elemental power and use Elemental Sight to see energy traces and the elemental natures of things. If you have one, it means a god has taken a shine to you for some reason. Everybody wants one, but only the best and brightest are granted visions, so it's a pretty big deal!

[He doesn't address the question about where you are.]

[......]

[=/]

Usually nature magic is out of most gods purview....other worlds are so confusing. The god thing tracks though. [THANKS BAHAMUT]

Teyvat is an interesting place, don't you think?

[For that line, the knight sounds less like a nervous but enthusiastic type and more like the smooth, shady type. Like Pavo. But then he goes back to his set personality.]

But, uh... This switch over here won't turn on. Without it, we can't open the front door, so...

[He walks away a few steps, gesturing at a small, round plate on the wall. Around it are seven elemental symbols, and in the center is a light that's currently dark.]

If you could activate it?

.... [She tilts her head.]

[She goes over to look at this switch. Considers and moves to the one with her rock's symbol. She'll hold it out, see what's up.]

[It doesn't seem to do anything to hold the vision to the switch.]

Oh, right. I think, touching it with elemental energy will work.

All right.

[She can literally move dirt with her mind at will, given her powers aren't taken, so its not hard to pull at that elemental energy.]

[Let's go with a stoneskin type spell, don't want to just pull up a hole through the floor.]

[When you cast, you notice a golden tinge to your powers now, that matches the vision. But it works! When that energy touches the switch the corresponding symbol glows, and the light comes on. Near the sealed exit, you hear a click.]

Wow, thank you so much! I think there are more locks, though... If you're going to wander, can you keep an eye out?

[Oh good, the mental translation works. Which, it SHOULD, nature is a lot more adaptive then most magic she sees, it shouldn't be too precise.]

...I don't suppose you can try to attack me a bunch so I can see if the rest of my magic will work.

I have plants, fire, life, wind....lacking water though. Almost never use water...

Uhm? Well, since your vision is geo, that's the only element you can use, probably. You'd have to have more than one vision for the rest, and that never happens! ...At least, not naturally.

So my normal powers won't work here....?

I'm afraid not... But I'm sure geo will be enough to protect you, and to activate all the locks. If you play it safe, you won't be in too much danger anyway. This place can be pleasant if you let it... mostly.

[She growls.] These things need to stop messing with it.

And of course it will. Earth is my favorite element for a reason. It can do a lot. This will just make it harder to end fights quickly.

[Since she usually uses Overwhelming Force.]

I guess that's true. So... hopefully, you won't get into fights. But, uhm. If you want to get in that big door, you should probably go lock-hunting, right?

Right, right.

Do I need to bring a person, or can this world have items hold elemental energy?

Items can. But geo should be enough.

I meant for bringing stuff back for these locks.

[Hmm, let's approach the stone door.]

That's what I meant... Geo is enough.

[So you shouldn't need to find the other elements! But regardless, you go through the stone-framed door to a lively place.]
