Heart Soldier Senshi

[idolpro]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a car.

You're wearing a time-worn, windblown version of your uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you?

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

[ she is going to put herself in the corner and just drop onto her knees and double over, her hands on her head and digging in and attempting to claw her way into her own head, so she can stop the motherfucken voices. ] ...stopstopstopstopstop. [ hisses, tail lashing. her tentacles are all agitated from her back having been torn the fuck up, so that's just making the buzzing in her head worse. ]

If you don't stop... I swear.
I fucken swear. I'll make you stop.

[it takes him a moment, but one the pain of being STRUCK BY LIGHTNING passes. . .]

[his gaze flickers up towards D.Va immediately]

D.Va? Hey--

[pushes himself up to crawl towards her]

Re: DISCUSSION

[420blazeit]

[ the tentacles push at the stitches on her back. her 'wings' might be gone, but they're certainly not forgotten, and the four tentacles don't appreciate the home invasion. she cries out as they burst free, the wounds reopening and making her shudder as the pain sears through her body. closing her eyes she starts to laugh. ] ...did you like that, h- hah, I bet you did. I bet you all liked that. [ he grinds her teeth together and continues to try to dig her nails into her head. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

D.Va!

[ducking the tentacles, trying to reach for the hand that King isn't grabbing]

D.Va, calm down! It's us!

Re: DISCUSSION

[420blazeit]

...s- something's in my head. [ nearly chokes that out. she's trying to keep the hand on her head, like it'll split apart on it on if she's not actively holding it together. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

[squeezes her hand tightly]

Focus on us, then. Not on whatever is in your head.

Try transforming. It might help.

[if not with the mental effect then maybe the physical injuries]

Re: DISCUSSION

[420blazeit]

[ she returns the squeeze, though it's kind of weak. ]

But there's so much going on i- in there.
So many voices.

...And they... and they think it'd be funny if I [ she starts laughing and laughing and laugh. ] they think it'd be funny if I hurt you. [ but she doesn't make a move to do so. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

[he doesn't pull back, though his expression does harden]

Those voice suck. Tell them to shut up. You already know what you do or don't want to do. Right?

Listen to D.Va. She always knows what's best.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ Trying to grab for one of her hands, to keep her from hurting herself. ]

D.Va! Henshin!

King.

King... tell me I'm pretty.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ holy SHIT WHY ]

D.Va.

[ He reaches out to grasp her face in both hands, forcing her to look at him. ]

You're always pretty. Please just Henshin for me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[420blazeit]

[ her tentacles are PISSED, so don't mind them flailing around like lunatics. she does look at him, though her eyes are a bit unfocused, so she while she's looking at him one minute the next she's not but then she is! but then she's not!! BUT THEN SHE IS!!! ]

I... I changed...
I had wings.

I had wings and I was even more pretty.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He's just going to do his best to ignore them if they're not like, actively attacking him. He keeps his grip, eyes not leaving hers even when they lose focus. ]

It wasn't real. It was just a penalty.

You're back with us now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[420blazeit]

...i know, but it's not stopping. I can't make it stop. [ if it'll appease him she will henshin, which will take care of the mess that is her back, but now there are a bunch of armored tentacles flailing around and she's still mentally fucked up. ] I just want it to stop.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

I-- I know. It'll stop as soon as this is over, alright?

[ Whether "this" means the game or some unspecified time of after-effects when they almost definitely lose! ]

Just focus on us in the meantime.

[When he's dropped the henshin and managed to come over]

...D.Va?

[ at some point though she's looking over at him. ] It feels like... it feels like something's in my head.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Comes over to hover, a little helplessly]

Oh, jesus. Are you - are you okay?

Re: DISCUSSION

[420blazeit]

[ she shakes her head. ] ...something else came out of me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

C'mere. Your tentacles are like. Doing some weird thing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[420blazeit]

I know.

...something, something else came out of me. It ripped me up and they're mad. Like, super mad.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

Okay. Okay, well.

Can you tell em to calm down, some? They're making a mess back there.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD LOVE TO MAKE THIS CRAZY TRAIN STOP, this game is not over yet. but. hm.

she reaches out to try to touch her hand. ]

Dva? Dva, it's--the punishment is over, Dva. Can you hear us?


[ does she dare Buddy Bond Dva like this?? would dva even allow something like that? ]

[420blazeit]

[ her tentacles have burst out of her back, because the botched sewing job did nothing to keep her back together. in fact, it seems to have agitated things! the tentacles are all flailing about, so be mindful and try not to get smacked. ] ...t- tell me I'm pretty, Hiryuu. Please. [ calm the voices in her head and tell her she's pretty. ] ...they won't stop talking and talking and talking and talking.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ ??? OKAY??? LiKE. Look, not gonna lie, this is a strange request at the moment. BUT ALSO, IF THAT'S WHAT DVA NEEDS TO HEAR. she can roll with this. ]

Of course. Of course you're pretty--you've always been pretty. You know--I'm really envious of your hair?
