[...oh.

oh this is what Izanagi mentioned, isn't it?

though having his heart taken out seems. not something he's keen on experiencing again? if it's literal.

walks over and crouches in front of the fountain, and carefully lowers his hand into it]

[ The water is hot. it feels absolutely searingly hot. like, this is just downright unpleasantly hot. think-twice-and-then-a-third-time-before-you-jump-in kind of hot. Although it doesn't seem to harm you, actually.

At least, if you have any burns from touching holy stuff, your skin will heal . . . It hurts, though . . . ]

[he only has corruption burns ha ha ha.

he quickly pulls his hand back and looks it over, before he considers the water again. of course it'll hurt, if it's... cleansing? and he really could do without the corruption he has but will this really work?

give him a moment to work up his courage to essentially scald himself which technically isn't his favorite thing in the world, considering (sorry, mother).

okay going to strip down to his underwear and just bite his lip hard and slide into the water before he changes his mind nbd]

[ It's surprisingly deep.

It's also painful. It feels like it's burning everything away—the corruptions, certainly; the blood in your veins, maybe?

It feels as though all of you could burn away. Your identity, your existence, your self—if you don't hold fast to that. Just who are "you", anyway? ]

[ghfuigf reaches out to grip the edge of the fountain, probably drawing some blood as he bites his lips hard enough to try not to scream.

he sits in there for probably just a moment or two until it seems his burns aren't... there?? anymore? is that how you gauge this? he's not sure but he's shakily going to drag himself out of the water and collapse on the ground beside the fountain, chest heaving]

[ And it all burns, truly—it sears through your veins and flesh and even seems to leech into your bone marrow, rushing through and leaving behind warmth.

Underwater, every sound is muted, leaving only you with the steady thudding of your heart. Your hero's heart; your unblemished, pure heart that wants to help others.

As you resurface, you feel more whole—and at the same time, as though you've lost something.

Your abilities are gone, but so are your corruptions. ]

[... well he's got points for that! who cares.

gives himself a few moments before he gets his clothes back on and just. yeah. just going to sit there for a hot minute]

Re: THE FOUNTAINS CW VEINS

[idolpro]

[ You collect yourself. Somehow you feel a little more unburdened.

But also not for too long, since, oh, you know. ]
