Vergil's heart game r4

[idolpro]

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.

[He's back bitches.

He comes in swingin' boosted with Quick as a Wink, he'll try to dispatch those suits of armor as quickly as possible]

They rush you all at once, and they certainly know what they're doing. Not only individually as clearly well versed fighters, but in working together, as if they can communicate with one another wordlessly. They're organised and one will even sacrifice itself to allow another an opening. The more plain ones listen to the leader type's orders, and though they only speak a word or two, that voice really is familiar, isn't it?

The leaders use magic electricity bursts from their swords, the soldiers hunker down to block with their near-impenetrable shields.

You have 3 Perseverance, you'll have to spend 1 to kill each group - 2 total. But hey, you can afford it.

[He's Determined. And pissed. He spends the Perseverance to take them out]

You kick their asses. Well, certainly not without injury yourself, but it's not about to stop you. They fall one by one, adding to that pile of metal. With each one there's a small blue light that flickers out, and you feel a little lighter.

The last one reaches for your head, trying to drag you to the chains and empty suits along the wall. But it's a last ditch attempt, even it falls to your feet.

The ground rumbles beneath you, not enough to throw you off balance or disrupt anything around you, but it is distinct. Something definitely changed.

[Injuries are nothing new, that felt kinda nice actually. Familiar territory. He's a bit torn on whether he should try for another piece of soul. He did tell Glory he'd find her if he discovered things.

He teleports back to the Library hoping she's still there]

She's already left, but you might catch her in the garden...
