Izanagi's Heart Game - Session #3

[idolpro]

They say
that snowdrops were formed
as a gift from an angel
bequeathed unto Eve
a symbol of hope and rebirth...

So what's stopping you from taking control of your own agency?

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

Many things. But most of it comes back to Kiyotaka.

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

He's not here though, right? Or in other worlds.

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

No. But his influence has left its marks. The choices "He" makes... they're still very much influenced by him.

The belief that he should die - that if his world is better off without him, it should be the same for any world.

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

I hope someday he'll feel differently about himself. I'm not very good with comforting other or having kind words, but... I'm grateful that I met him.

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

Because he helped you?

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

Not just that... because I genuinely enjoy his company, and he's my friend too.

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

...

Do you still have any of that perfume on you?

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

Ah, yes. I haven't used it yet.

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

If you put some on, he might be able to remember the things you say here a little more. If that's something you want to try, anyway.

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

You mean... outside of here?

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

[He nods.]

It attracts attention - so it'll be more memorable, too.

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

...hm. All right.

[he takes the flask out and takes a look at it for a second]

It's a strange feeling, to think something like this can... follow me out. then again, Tokyo-F is strange.

[all of Imeeji is]

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, you are in someone else's heart as well...

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

That too.

And people have been in mine, though I don't exactly remember it.

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

But this one wasn't triggered the same way, was it?

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

[he shakes his head]

No. I think it was because of heaven?

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

That was the cause of the flowers, too.

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

That doesn't surprise me.

[he goes to open the perfume bottle and then pauses. where do people use perfume anyway...]

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

It doesn't really matter where you put it on.

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

Ah... right. I've never used perfume before.

[dabs some on his wrist?? maybe his neck]

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

[He is now status effect: Perfume.]

So with that done, is there anything you'd like to say to him?

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

Mm... that I haven't already said?

Re: Stage

[bondsofsuffering]

That you'd like him to remember.

Re: Stage

[asonoficeandfire]

That I'm grateful that I met him. And I consider him my friend, despite his misgivings about himself.

And he's more than just what someone else decided for him to be.
