Eclipse's Heart Game ☉ Session #1
You drift like you're floating in water. It's almost relaxing, actually. As long as you don't think too hard that what you're floating in may be bottomless, because under you lies only a deep darkness that only the ocean can provide.
Then, something grabs you and drags you deeper, down, down, down into the abyssal depths. You can't breathe, but that's not on the forefront of your mind now, is it?
There is a mounting sense of anxiety and dread.
Who do you want to become? Will you even get to see tomorrow? What if all roads lead to ████████? Can you still stay '███'? If people see the ████ you, will they think less of you? Will they feel cheated?
You want to live. Even if it's a ███, even if your hands must be covered in █████, you want to live. You want to be '███'.
Finally, a voice pierces through the darkness. It's a woman's voice.
"My, how unfortunate. Your journey ends before it even begins.
"... Just kidding. That would be terribly boring! I suppose I can do the boy a favour just this once."
You feel someone grab your arm and pull you up to the surface.
...
When you come to, you are standing somewhere else.

Re: START
"You seem like someone who would cause problems on purpose.
I can't say the same for the other one though, mostly because I have even less to work with for him."
Re: START
Re: START
(You get the distinct impression that somewhere, said boy would deadeye this insinuation.)
"...And in any case, if either do cause real problems, the other ones will handle it."
Re: START
I suppose I could fix a problem or two, as well, if there's call for it.
Re: START
"If you ask me, one of his problems is that he doesn't like to share much of himself, so it would probably do some good for people to learn some things by themselves.
He has some other problems that could use some cleaning up. Or at least outside input."
Re: START
Re: START
She sounds faintly amused about the last bit.
Re: START
But he's known me for more than twenty seconds, which means he knows I'm quite opinionated, so if outside input is needed, I'm sure I can provide.
Though I should get your name and offer you my thanks, before I ask you to point me on my way.
Re: START
I am Spring Born Wind, or at least, that is whose likeness I have. You can also say that I'm 'Hope and Anxiety'."
Are you willing to bet that it isn't lost on her how funny it is who she's talking to given what she just said --
"If you go into the city, there's an archive where I think your input would be appreciated. Or I suppose you can go to the beach, but that means you'll be seeing more of me there.
Of course, you can choose to go anywhere else. I think you'll manage fine enough regardless."
Re: START
they're not the same fucko, but they're cut from similar cloth, perhaps. ]
The sort of feelings that inspire one to action, perhaps.
That's probably my cue, then. I'll ask the gentleman there what he's thinking, and I'll likely take your suggestion to head to the archive.
