Pavo Heart Game: Thursday 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.]

OFFICE

[cryovision]

You enter a well-decorated office. The atmosphere is pleasant, cozy, with walls lined in bookshelves and a scent in the air like spiced vanilla. Around the room are vases full of various coloured roses.

On one side of the room is a desk, with a small number of papers spread across it and a quill pen and inkwell. On the other is a conference table, currently hosting a western-style tea set and some plates of small cakes and cookies.

On one bookshelf, there is a statuette of a small winged figure draped in robes and holding an orb out as if in offering to the sky.

There is an open window, through which comes a brisk breeze -- it smells a bit stale, and seems to have blown the flowers and books right off of a nearby table.

Browsing the books, there is a tall blonde woman. When you enter, she turns to look at you and gently smiles.

"Good afternoon. Can I help you?"

[ He is half-heartedly waving at her before just... trying to stick his head out of the window. ]

Good afternoon!

[ He says, while not focusing on her at all. ]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[You stick your head out the window and catch a face full of stale air. The view is a medieval-style castle town, with green plains in the background!]

...I suppose you know what you're up to then.

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

My apologies, my lady! I simply love windows!

[ Why does this one smell so weird though. ]

I make it a habit to enter and leave through them whenever possible!

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

Well, I don't think that one goes anywhere...

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

Oh? Not even if I were to climb out, and then upwards?

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

You could try, but I'm not sure it'd be a good idea.

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

I'm the type of annoying person who...

Ah, no! Today, I shall try playing by the rules! I will trust in this lovely maiden, who's office I have stomped all over!

I was told to unlock some things if I find them! Does this seem correct?

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

That's right. If you unlock them all, you'll be able to go in that big door. The one in here should be... somewhere over there.

[She gestures in the direction of her desk!]

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

[ Hmmmm... HMMM. ]

If I am to use "that power" on your desk...

[ ISN'T HE GOING TO HAVE TO KAMEHAMEHA THE PAPERS AROUND?

Well. He's confident he can catch them before they fly out the window. Maybe. ]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[MAYBE GO A BIT MORE SUBTLE, WATARU]

Just a little touch should be enough. You don't have to attack it.

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

That is the same as asking me to die.

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

--How?!

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

The word "little" means little to me!

[ He's so proud of this joke.

Anyway he's blasting her desk with a kamehameha, as promised, and is doing his best to catch every single paper. ]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[You... blast the desk. All the papers go flying, and some hit the floor around the room, but at least they don't go out the window?]

That would be called "excessive force", sir.

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

But excessive is what is most amazing! Someone such as I cannot be subtle at all!

[ He's going to tidy up her desk though. ]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

I suppose you didn't do any damage in the end...

[so it's okay??]

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

Ah, but did I succeed?

[ He's. Looking under her desk now. ]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[The lock is in fact under the desk! And it's lit up! You can hear another click in the distance.]

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

[ Clapping! ]

Now, miss—my apologies, I am no good at asking for names!

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

You can call me "Dandelion", if you like.

[she's not really Jean but like, she looks like Jean, so why not use the name she used?]

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

Oh, how cute. As someone who currently goes by "Rose", I appreciate the taste in flowery names.

[ He's bowing to her! Now politeness matters, I guess. ]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

[SUDDENLY...]

...Thank you. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Re: OFFICE

[stagename]

Yes. How does one use "elemental sight"? I have blinked approximately eighteen hundred and seven times already, but have yet to activate it...

[ He's probably not trying in the right way, though... ]

Re: OFFICE

[cryovision]

...Blinked?

[why...]

You just will it to appear.
