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.]

[--You do that! It makes a lot of very scary garbled screeching noises, in what sounds like a host of different voices. It spews black blood, but continues to shift and shamble towards you, melting from around the spikes and not at all slowed down.]

[Unfortunate.]

[But she just needs a minute.]

[Okay, SHE'S DOMING UP AGAIN with stone and kneeling on the ground.]

[She wants to see if she can get information From The Clock about what the fuck Pavo's deal is.]

[Nothing seems forthcoming, other than a sense of impending doom. The monster slams against your dome, and it begins to crack. This monster seems worse than the shadow, somehow...]

You and your issues-

[All right, fine, the half of the dome facing the monster is gonna explode out into its face.]

[And she'll pull the other half towards her. Double stoneskin it is!]

[Pavo's issues certainly stagger at the explosion! But the monster recovers quickly -- far too quickly, bearing down on you with murderous intent.

But it can't break through that stoneskin. The impact will certainly be jarring, and you'll get hurt if you don't move away soon, but you have a window in which you could escape -- or try to destroy it entirely.]

[Oh no, we're fighting this thing. Clearly there is a 'monster issue' and there is some emotional thing in it and frankly-]

[This can't be helping whatever that is.]

[So she's moving, letting the stone move with her, much like the spell would allow, looking for where there's the most damage to stab her spear into.]

[The thing is vaguely ball-shaped. Maybe there's something in the center...?]

[Well then]

[Let's pull the loose stone together and try and burrow into the center!]

[There is a resistance -- it takes a lot of force to penetrate the ever-changing mass.

But you do.

You do, and it collapses, dissolving away into nothing but a pile of black goo.]

[She drives the butt of the spear in the ground, gonna breathe, and look. Is there anything left....?]

[Goop, goop, and goop. If you stare at it long enough, it seems to pool into almost a shape... Something like a solar eclipse. But then it continues to puddle out into no shape in particular.

There is a lock on the wall.]

..... [She huffs.] Seriously?

[Well, there's a lock, at least.]

[She'll avoid walking into the goop. Time to apply elemental energy to the lock!]

[You light up the lock!

You have now lit up all 6 locks. You hear the last click, and then a rumble, as the seal opens.]

[Woooo.]

[She will drop her rocks and head back to the main lobby to see Mini Pavo!]

[You return to the lobby! Mini Pavo is still there, but he appears to have scooted closer to the door he originally came from...]

Trying to go back to the cold?

--Oh. Uhm...

[He looks like any kid caught doing something he was told not to. He shuffles a bit, and looks down at the floor.]

Since that's... "myself", anything else is wrong.

Except you don't want to be cold.

"I" would rather be cold. Even if it hurts.

Rather cold then what?

Than let other people control how "I" see myself.

....what is that room?

...

[mmmmmmmmm he shouldn't say but...]

That place is "my" self. Identity... And I am "my" self-worth.

.....ah.

[There is a looooooong pause at that.]

Can we make a compromise?

Like what?

[he doesn't look sure, but he hasn't looked sure about anything this whole time, so...]
