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.

Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
For Jason:
The moment you touch it everything around you changes. The blood and statues gone in an instant and in its place a void of bright blue light, almost blinding. There's nothing else here - except a tall, indistinct figure standing a little ways off, his back to you. He stares upward, quiet a moment before speaking loud enough to be heard.
What are you searching for?
This is only a vision in your mind, however, Shrike is still right there, even if you don't see her at the moment. And Shrike, well you can just watch him stand there for a bit? Or whatever you feel like.

[he sighs, and exhales.]
The fucking sword, so I can give it back to you, jackass. Don't give me moral quandary questions right now. I'm too fucking tired and covered in blood for that shit.
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
Jason—who are you... who are you talking to?
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
Is he going to be a dick even in his sword soul vision? Yeah.
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
Get on with it.
[sorry shrike, now he's just not gonna give it to her]
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
...are you all right?
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
Dick move to make it so only I can answer anyway.
Fine, you wanna know what I'm searching for? A way to right all the wrongs. Some kinda penance. You happy? Or do I needa say "power" or some bullshit?
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
...funny how we'd answer the same way.
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
The vision disappears as instantaneously as it formed, and you are left standing where you were, sword in hand. It makes you feel strong.
You've acquired Yamato and seem to inherently know how to use it. That is, a sense of how to go about fighting with a katana, and that it is made to cut through anything, even space, even a soul. There wasn't a way back, but you may have found one. You've unlocked teleportation, look at you go!
Re: ROOM OF FALLEN ONES
[he glances back at Shrike]
... He tried to tell me to give it to you. Which made me wanna answer the dumb question even more.
