Pavo Heart Game: Wednesday Session

[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.]

[ What in Teyvat...? She's barely had time to read the inscription on the back before he's talking again; the meaning of those words is still processing. This is moving a little fast. ]

I don't, but--this can't be mine! There must be some kind of mistake...

[ Who's lost their vision? Isn't Pavo the only cryo user here? ]

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[cryovision]

If it wasn't yours before, it's resonating now, so... You might as well, right?

[The vision does, in fact, seem to resonate with you! You may not have any of your normal powers, but you know now you have control over ice.

It's definitely not exactly Pavo's vision though. It has the full 3 sets of wings.]

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[glidinglight]

[ It... doesn't seem right. And it doesn't make sense? She hasn't been to any of the cryo archon's statues yet. Why would a Vision resonate with her....

Well, if nothing else--she'd better hold onto it until she can get some answers. Or at least find out who it really belongs to. ]

... All right. I'll keep it--for now. What was it you needed?

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[cryovision]

Uh... This switch over here won't turn on. Without the locks, 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.]

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[glidinglight]

[ She follows him to the switch and stoops over to take a closer look at it. ]

I'm familiar with these sorts of puzzles... though I usually have more help to solve them.

[ She'll need to find a way to get the other elemental resonances to open it--but first thing's first. ]

Do you know what's beyond the door?

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[cryovision]

That's uh... the most intimate place.

[He puts it vaguely, because it's Pavo.]

But, uhm, you should be able to unlock it with one element's energy. It's just that there's locks all over, so you have to find them.

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[glidinglight]

So it's not enough to just cast cryo.

[ That makes it a little different than what she's used to after all. ]

... All right. These other doors aren't locked, at least, I take it?

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[cryovision]

Well-- No, just cryo is fine. But you'll have to activate them all. The other doors, you can go in whenever you want. The other locks should be somewhere in there.

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[glidinglight]

... One last question. Why aren't you going to find the locks?

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[cryovision]

It's not something "I" can do on my own.

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[glidinglight]

[ Honestly, she's probably heard worse explanations. ]

Okay. I'll be back, then.

[ She considers her options before heading to the blue door with the cold knob. It only seems fitting, since she's supposed to be a Cryo Vision holder now... ]

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[cryovision]

[You go through the door, into a maze of ice.]
