idolpro | 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.

It opens into a foyer with a luxurious seating area, tea and appropriate snacks set out like company was fully anticipated. The sofas are a Victorian sort of style, but either quite new or extremely well taken care of.

There's all variety of artifacts on display from around the world and collected over the past 2000 years, demonic or otherwise magical things too. Every room is practically a museum, but most of it is treated like any other artwork. Even the demonic items that are grotesque or clearly dangerous. A sword hung up beside a gold painted vase from ancient Greece, beside a crystallised demon skull, interspersed with family photos and book cases.

Marble pillars flock the entrance, and a grand fireplace is the centrepiece at the far end of the room. There's a hook on the wall high above it, and a couple more empty hooks amidst all the decor.

[ Well. Assuming Eva gave him everything back, he'll put each item on the empty hook - everything else can wait ]

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!

[ 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?

"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.

Oh! She beams! "Watch out or I'll have to insist on adopting you."

[ there's a laugh at that ]

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

"Then you're welcome home any time. Well, you would be anyway, but not only as a guest."

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.

"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 ]

[He will tuck him in the pile when he gets into the library. He can either sleep himself or watch Vergil sleep. Whatever he likes.]
