persephone heart game, run 2
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)
[ for a bit she stands stock-still where she's placed, looking out(?) at the garden—although maybe more like staring into space.
eventually she makes her way carefully through the flowers to speak to the man. ]
Er, we haven't met, but—I think I know of you, sir?

Re: In The Garden 1 (start)
2) lucifel will take a moment to examine all the flowers, but also just to listen for a whisper if he can hear one at all right now at all.
*edit: ok he's not hiroto and i don't remember if lucifel would recognize kirsi ]

Re: In The Garden 1 (start)
Wisteria is everywhere, dangling beautifully in brilliant shades of purple.
He'll pause a moment before approaching the man, listening for the whispers further to see if there is anything particular about the garden while running a hand through some of the wisteria. ]

Re: In The Garden 1 (start)
He looks around, no idea what most of these flowers mean especially in context, no idea who this person is... But that seems like a decent place to start, he goes to the man.]

Re: The Lake
[Either way, will wade into the water until he can go on his back and will let himself float out onto it more, bracing himself because he's pretty sure this is gonna be panic inducing and trying not to panic will be hard.]
[He will try listening though. Better to check for whispers.]

He doesn't take a breath beforehand, and instead breathes in the water, speed all this up maybe. It feels awful sure, but that really doesn't bother him. Pain is fine.]

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
. . . And he has to wait for Lucifel at the very least, to make sure he is okay.
So before setting off down the path, he will look around to see if there is... at least something he can do for hte flowers? ]

Re: In The Garden 2
[Ugh. U G H.]
[Almost drowning SUCKS, thank you very much.]
[He takes a minute before finally pushing himself up, looking around, and-]
[Ah.]
[Okay, first, he closes his eyes, see if he hears any whispers.]

Re: In The Garden 2
He takes off his haori, and dunks it in the water to use as a makeshift bucket. Sure it's going to leak through but more effective than just cupping his hands! And he's going to try to water as many of them as he can find.]

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.
no subject
They head into the bedroom.]

Courtyard
there's also a very tall -6'5" - broad-shouldered man with long, tied back pale hair, dressed in a dark-colored kimono. he looks very strong and is definitely a big, powerful man.
it's also very obviously, since you've seen Persephone's memories, Miura Hiroto.]
