persephone heart game; (run 1)
In the flicker of a candle-flame, in the stir of still water, in the fluttering of flower petals, there is a voice...
Once, there were...
...shadows in the window.
...footsteps at the gates of life.
...whispering at the door:
"Should I live or die? Am I living or dead?"
"To know the world is to choose it," says the Void.

Once, there were...
...shadows in the window.
...footsteps at the gates of life.
...whispering at the door:
"Should I live or die? Am I living or dead?"
"To know the world is to choose it," says the Void.

OOC Information
Any effects suffered while in the heart are temporary.
No Imeeji or canon powers in this heart. You may get some ~special bonuses~ depending, but no powers otherwise.
Characters in the same run are in the same spaces and can talk to each other. This is encouraged at least partially for my amusement.
Your phone doesn't work. You also don't have any other items with you that you were carrying.
IC Information/Rules
Once, there were...
...shadows in the window.
...footsteps at the gates of life.
...whispering at the door:
"Should I live or die? Am I living or dead?"
"To know the world is to choose it," says the Void.
Goal
Reach and awaken the True Heart. Help him want to choose the world and live for himself.
Mechanic Explanation
Listen carefully, when you are in the garden of Persephone's heart. If you listen close, you can hear his whispers - hold them, and his voice, close. But be careful, for there are other Whispers as well. If you listen too close to those other Whispers, something bad might happen.
Your actions will also affect this, whether they encourage Persephone to choose the world or not. Again, if the other Whispers grow too strong, something bad might happen.
Anything you may suffer while here is temporary and only lasts until you leave this space.
In The Garden 1 (start)
In addition to the flowers, in the garden is a large pond: very still, very mirrorlike. There is also a tall man, apparently in his mid-thirties, with long pale hair and purple eyes with constellations in them, here too. He is resting among the flowers, as if he is waiting for someone.

Re: In The Garden 1 (start)
[ It's quiet—just a little moment of personal realization. But she feels like she recognizes this place, even though she has never seen it before. Every part of it is draped with familiarity.
...Well. Except the young man. He's new. ]
Good evening. [ Amaranth dips her head politely as she approaches. ]

In The Garden 2
A path lined by (wilting) wisteria leads towards a village by a river. It's a very scenic, beautiful path.
Re: In The Garden 2
But he finally does sit up and look at the wisteria. Are they not watered and pruned?]

Phew. Okay. Time to get going again.
...Though, looking around... that can't be good. Can he examine the wisteria, see if there's anything noticeably wrong?]

Then she is back on her feet. The path catches her attention, of course, but first she approaches the wisteria, gently catching one of the trails of wilting blossoms against her hand. ]

Hiroto's House
The furnishings are pretty nice and what you expect from fantasy Sengoku Japan.
Further back and to the left is a sliding door that leads to a bedroom, and another one leading to a study, on the right. Furthest back of all is a sliding door leading out to the courtyard.
Re: Hiroto's House
Can he try peering into the study? That seems mildly less invasive than bedroom.]

Re: Hiroto's House
You cannot make me fear you, Miura.
[ It's spoken into the air, more to the idea of him than to the man himself.
As for where to go...
The bedroom seems intrusive, even here, though she does not want to hide from that knowledge, either. And she is sure she would like to check the study. But she has a personal brand, by now, and it makes the courtyard her first choice. ]
