Vergil's heart game r4

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.

Unless you're Glory, in which case the rest is the same, but you wake in a library.

It's blocking...some more grass. Just a painting laying in the centre of a field in Hell, you know.

But you start to feel too drowsy to go on, eyes heavy, relaxed. This really is a peaceful spot, whether you're conscious of the choice or not, you're soon laying down.

The grass tickles your skin, itches slightly. Should it be able to touch your bare shoulder?

It shouldn't! And the grass has already woven itself around your arms and legs to strap them down. Some of it pierces your flesh, as the bit creeping up your shoulder has done, working its way deep within. The ground around you is soaked with blood, and the flowers - they are much larger than they were before.

You have 1 Perseverance. You'll have to spend 1 perseverance to fight it off...

You just manage to escape its grasp, to fight your way out of the field, though it still reaches out after you until you're well out of its reach. Are you dragging that portrait with you?

[he'll drag it back to the mouth of the cave, away from the grass, yeah.

feels like the kind of thing that doesn't belong here!]

Congrats you got 1 painting. You can carry it just fine, this is video game logic, it's just in your pocket now.

[Oh.


well, he has a painting and he's heading back the way he came, since this is a dead end.]
