Gloom: Heart Soldier Senshi

[The old-fashioned writing desk in the center of the room carries several blank pieces of paper, a fine wooden pen, and a piece of parchment covered in writing. When you take a look, you find the following epigraph in a vibrant scrawl:]

Congratulations, future wordsmiths, and welcome to your first exercise in the creation of a true masterwork of tale-telling. This evening you'll be penning a terrific tragedy, starring the family of unsympathetic ne'er-do-wells provided to you.

Your goal? Why, to construct the best story your mind can conceive, of course - and make their lives as entertainingly miserable as possible before writing one of them directly into an early grave.

[ in spite of being attacked she still needs to bang this out, ]

In his madness Rosseau continued to paint, his Butler, Jeeves Jeeverson, telling him that the blood spattered canvases that boasted nothing but fungi were going to sell for millions. He continued to paint, hell bent on showing the world the beauty of the little bastards that were slowly but surely driving him mad, but nobody else could see it. They scoffed and scowled, turning the other cheek, and soon he fell into debt.

With his best friend, Elias, still lost in the moor he was powerless to stop the creditors from banging down the doors and demanding this and that, taking all of his worldly possessions as his Butler watched, scheming from the corner.

"If you sign it all over to me, then they can take it," He said easily, pushing the will he drafted in front of him. "I'll protect your assets, sir, and both you and your daughter, as I've only ever had your best interests in mind." But he did not.

I got attacked, but it's fine. I said I would protect you, right, so I did just that. No one is going to hurt your, Hiryuu, not while I'm here.

[ oh NO

not only was she right, there ARE things out to get her--but D.va protected her. just like she said she would. She. Is. Incredibly touched, and that's not the madness talking.

She tears up a little. ]

You're hurt, though... let me see.

...alright, though it's not as bad as it looks. Just a lot of little things. [ she reaches for hiryuu's face as soon as she's close enough, tucking a stray strand of hair behind one of her ears with a smile. ] How are you doing, hm?

There's... voices. And I keep... if I let myself focus on anything too much it's bad. But...

[ she shakes her head. ]

I don't think they're real. They can't be real.

[ It's very clear that she's telling herself that (without too much conviction, either) in an effort to remain composed.

It's as D.va said--none of the bruises or abrasions seem to be so bad... ]

We'll need to get you some more clothes when this is over... but if that's the worst of it, then we'll be coming out lightly, it seems.

[ she holds her that much tighter. ] I know how that can be, because it was the same for me in that other stupid game. I... I could barely focus, and all I heart was these stupid voices telling me what to do. Laughing. Always... always laughing. [ she nuzzles hiryuu. ] I don't think they're real. It's just a result of the game, and somebody elses story... so how about I spin something for you.

As soon as the game ended D.Va, Hiryuu, and Hurricane all found themselves fine. It might have been a more bumpy ride than they'd been expecting, but they'd made it through with minimal damage. Heading back to the dorms they decided to relax in their private onsen while watching a movie and eating some delicious snacks. They deserved a break, and some dumb game was definitely NOT going to get the best of them.

[ The voices in her head aren't laughing, but--they're also not pleasant. Their suggestions are... strange, and frightening. But... D.va's voice and her story--are soothing. She closes her eyes and tries to relax into it. ]

That's nice. I'd like that.

...something attacked me. It's fine though, since I was able to keep them from attacking you guys. No one is going to hurt you guys. I promised. I'm not letting it happen. [ she's going to be better for the team and hurricane and hiryuu are some of her favorite people. ]
crossmyheartandhope: (So come out)

I know. I think I might have said as much not too long ago... but I feel like I haven't been good for the team lately and that's my fault. I let some stuff get to me and it... it effected me more than I would have liked, but that kid game, it helped me realize my hero roots, y'know, so I'm feeling so much better, and I just want to be the very best for you and for the team! I know I don't have to do it all on my own, but. [ she smiles. ] I can definitely try to keep you guys safe.

Well... it goes both ways, okay?

We wanna keep you safe, too.
