Wednesday's Heart Game » Session Three

[idolpro]

At first, there is nothing.

And then there’s a voice, saying:

I need your help.

     … look, I don’t have time to explain. Hold this.

And something, ready or not, is thrust into your hand. Maybe it’s a pen, or a brooch, or a watch or a phone, or anything at all so long as it’s small enough to hold, and looks too important to lose.

Maybe you try to object, but a small, winged creature wreathed in iridescent sparkles darts into your view, and clasps your hands, and curls your fingers tight about the object in them.

     You’re just, the creature says, going to have to trust me. Now: raise your hand, and say:

Power of a Dreaming Star – Metamorphose!!

Maybe you know these tropes, or maybe you don’t.
Maybe you’re about to protest that no, you couldn’t possibly, this is ridiculous and you’ve got the wrong person—

But you can’t resist the call. Nobody ever can.

And then?

     Then? It’s not dark any more.

         And an awful lot seems to be happening at once.

Her mind?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Wednesday's. She picked up the flowers... somewhere. And ever since then, things have been kinda difficult. But that's where you guys come in.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

[Wait what]

[He's had to relearn this SO MANY TIMES.]

What do you mean Wednesday? Are we in her dream? Is she okay?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

She's asleep. And she's doing a lot better than she was. The others - you see those lights out there? Well, that was them. They've made really good progress, but we're not quite there yet. If we can get the sun to rise, we should be fine.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

[Please imagine something like this, but more ribbons involved and, uh, leg.]

[He goes to look out the window.]

If she's in danger, then I'll do anything I can to help her. How do we get the sun to rise?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Well, more of the same? We need you to bring the light back. First, you'd need to look for cracks - things that don't quite fit, like wrong reflections. Things like that. Then there's the Aspects. They're hanging out there guarding the weak spots. The others got four of them already, but there's more. Defeat them, and you'll bring light to the whole area.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

What are the aspects like?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Monsters. They're pretty aggressive. If they're there, you'll know about it.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

Okay.

What else do I need to know?

Is there....extras with the outfit change, or just to look like I belong? [Listen, clothes giving weird powers happens sometimes.]

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Well, you'll be able to use magic... fly... you can summon me any time you need help, too... that kind of thing. I guess you never saw a magical girl show?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

My world doesn't have electricity beyond lightning storms and certain creatures.

...fly?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

You'll need to, to get around.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

[EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

[Listen, he is always for flying, especially if he doesn't have to be a bird or throw himself off a roof to do it.]

Okay, so what's the magic?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Well, it depends. It's all to do with elements, I think... then there's shadow and light, which don't really count, but... magical girls, I guess?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

....I guess I'll play it by ear because I still don't know what a magical girl is beyond girl with magic.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Well, you're most of the way there with that.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

All right. Anything else?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Uh... be careful, I guess? Oh, and stick together. You don't wanna run into an Aspect alone.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

Okay.

So we should get going then.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Well, after you pick an item.

[She turns back to the school desk. On it are a number of items: a scanner, an hourglass, a lantern, and two glass bottles on chains - one to help with healing and one to aid with stealth.]

The scanner helps suss out danger. If there's something close by that's gonna try to attack, it'll tell you. It's also good for finding hidden objects, if there are any of those. The hourglass turns back time, just for a little, so if you get into a pinch and you're really stuck, you can go back a few seconds and try again. The lantern will light your way to the active trouble spots. The stuff in this bottle will heal you, if you're hurt. And this one's basically a smoke bomb.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

[Ooooooh]

....I'm already pretty naturally observant. Would that work well with the scanner, or would it be better to give that to someone else?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Hey, it's up to you. If you're traveling together, it shouldn't make that much difference, right?

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

It shouldn't, but I have a terrible trend of getting forcibly separated from people in games like these.

[Hm, then again.]

Maybe the hourglass. I'm good at looking, but this would allow for more strategy...

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[wefoundwonderland]

Okay, I--

[She looks back at the table.]

Ah, your friend just took that. And it looks like the heal's gone, too.

Re: ♡ talk to michelle

[protectshisown]

[Ah, decisions being made.]

Well, looks like it might be the scanner then.

[Will pick that up.]
