idolpro | Vergil's heart game r1

You feel weak, your body won't move no matter how you try, and you are falling, away from everything you know and love. Away from everything you need to accomplish. If you could just reach out, maybe you could hold on to it, claw your way back. But it's a useless endeavour, you fall unconscious, and your mind goes blank except for poetry and a familiar voice.

O mother Enitharmon, wilt thou bring forth other sons?
To cause my name to vanish, that my place may not be found,
For I am faint with travail,
Like the dark cloud disburden'd in the day of dismal thunder.

My roots are brandish'd in the heavens, my fruits in earth beneath
Surge, foam and labour into life, first born and first consum'd!
Consumed and consuming!
Then why shouldst thou, accursed mother, bring me into life?

You wake on the ground in a cave, cold, wet, and sticky. It smells of rotting flesh. Your objective is clear, but you can't recall a name or face. Nothing else about your memory of him is changed, but for some reason the name "Vergil" just won't come to you, and you couldn't describe how he looks if your life depended on it. But at least your body starts to respond to your will, slowly regaining enough strength to carry on.

[ WALKS RIGHT IN ]

Hello!

Did you...want a response? There isn't one, the man at the desk doesn't stir at all. There's just the sound of the jukebox.

[ GOES OVER AND POKES THE MAN ]

You're not a corpse, are you?

It's immediately apparent that he is, in fact a corpse. There's blood all around his chair, flowing down from the wound through his back. It's a thin and short mark, but based on how much blood there is, it clearly goes all the way through his heart and back out his chest. One of his hands is clutching something, while an amulet lays face up in the puddle of blood.

There's a flashing voicemail indicator by the telephone, and, you guessed it, more garbage strewn about. A pizza box that's still mostly full and not yet cold. There's uh, a lot of olives on this. There's also a framed photo of the blonde woman from the manor, smiling softly.

Oh, come on.

[ well, TAKES THE AMULET, I GUESS. then stares at the flashing phone and presses some buttons until he manages to play it. ]

The amulet has "Vergil" carved in the back. The moment you see that, his face also comes back to you, and something in the distance rumbles.

It isn't always visible, but this is something he tends to wear daily, so chances are you've seen it on him.

There's a pause, the line doesn't seem to be good, plenty of crackling, but after a moment a message starts to play. A familiar voice to those who know Nero, "Hey, you two killed each other yet? I don't wanna have to come pick up any bodies so keep it together, dumbasses. Anyway we got Glory and Raven here right now so I was thinking you guys should come by too. Dad's gotta meet the grandkids sometime. Quit trying to avoid it, old man. Neither of you got an excuse for not visiting with Yamato."

HEFTS THE CORPSE

TAKES THE SWORD

can he go visit shrike's husband ]

No, sorry, the portal just spits you right back out where you were.

But on the bright side, the jostling knocks the thing Dante was clutching out of his hand and onto the floor. Another amulet, nearly identical to the other, but in silver, with Dante's name carved on the back.

[ lame. well, he's going to keep this corpse in mind for if he meets someone who can revive things later. time to pick up both amulets. ]

So that's two out of three tasks...

When you put them close enough together, they latch onto one another as if magnetised. You got the perfect amulet, cool!

You could poke around in here if you want, or the throne room was the place Vergil mentioned.

[ he's gonna poke around at least enough to find a sheet or blanket or big coat or something to drape over the DEAD BODY.

and THEN go to the - no first he's going to pop back into the intro cave and pick up his taisho outfit again. THEN he's going to get changed out of the wizard robes. THEN the throne room. ]

There's a pillow and blanket folded up to one side together on the couch, like someone sleeps there. But probably no one's using this now since murder happened so that's cool. And good work taking your clothes off to avoid being a wizard forever! Obviously you meant to do that.
