Vergil's heart game r2

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.

Oh look you have an inexplicable video game inventory. Nothing looks right on the hook above the mantle, it's too large a space. But there's an empty vase, and a clear empty spot on a book shelf that fits the journal just right. The violin sits nicely on the wall, and what else do you really do with a tail bow? Sure it can go on the wall. Everything looks nice!

[Google how do I clean a ravenous demon goo stain out of my throne room it keeps eating my tools.

He drums his fingers on his arm. Is there any faint sense of Vergil from the puddle or is it just gross and there?]

[ VERY NICE everything put in its perfect place it is a little satisfying and he hopes it will amount to, well. Something. But he promised he'd leave the exploring to Lahabrea, so once placing everything on the right place is done, he'll go back to Eva ]

Will you be fine on your own?

Do you feel drawn to the old man robes, Emet? Makes sense.

He sleeps very peacefully, and holds a little tighter with those words. This image of him doesn't need to be awake for his heart to hear it.

It doesn't feel like Vergil, but it feels like magic. Not any more part of him than anything else around.

[Probably he should not go incinerating parts of Vergil's heart just because they're demons. He will finish cleaning the rest of the room and give it a wide berth, checking out the throne.]

"I will, thank you, you've done plenty, Five. I may seem to be alone here, but that isn't truly the case, is it?" She just smiles warmly, placing a hand on your arm.

[ There's a small smile at that, and that's pretty sweet of her really. He knows it's a part of Vergil, so really that makes it all the more sweet. He'll pause for a moment and then he's going to lean in to kiss her cheek ]

Of course not.

It's plain compared to the engravings and ornamentation on the pillars and doors, but the size is imposing. You wouldn't have a hope of just climbing onto it without a sizable ladder.

If you really crane your neck, or look from a way back, you'll see the trio of red, glowing orbs floating right up at the top. An electric sort of effects crackles between and around them. It feels terrible, makes your chest tighten to look at.

[ there's a laugh at that ]

I think that would be a step-up for me so. Consider me adopted.

When you get higher, the impression of a face starts to become clear, if faint. The orbs align with eyes, one in the centre of the apparition's forehead. The rest of its body is there too, not unlike a statue of Zeus, sat upon its throne.

But it is only an image, nothing solid.

I'll keep it mind.

And I'll be back if we end up having to place something here. But for now I should go back to the library. If Lahabrea comes here, well. Make certain he sees the flowers.

[Hm. How does one put such an echo to rest?

He ponders again, then reaches out to inspect the energies around the orbs? Perhaps he can simply... Drain the energy a bit? Leave them inert without inherently destroying anything.]

"I will be sure to point them out." She laughs, and it's just a little bit mischievous. Even something made by Vergil's heart is down with embarrassing him. "Take care, Five, and do pass on my appreciation to Hades too."

Of course. Take good care of yourself.

[ and with that, he'll blink back in the library ]

It does seem to fade a little, the colour growing weaker until the demon's image is gone. The orbs still remain, but it's not so intense.

[personal profile] temperedinpride 2021-01-26 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Good enough. He does not wish to alter Vergil but perhaps things in this room don't need to be quite so intense. He'll look around one more time for anything else of interest before heading back to the library.]

Are you sure the puddle isn't interesting? There's nothing else here, it's now just a (mostly) empty, giant room. And so bright, get you some advil.

[It's interesting! He just... Doesn't know what to do with it.

Actually he could try the trick of gently draining energy from it, if that does literally anything.]

Sorry, it's much more solid. You can drain some of its power...but this thing seems to regain it instantly. But if interacting with it this way tells you anything, fear is its source of power, and people have an endless amount to keep it going strong, after all.
