Nemesis Heart - R3
[The first time you try to open your eyes, there is nothing but red.]
[Questions bubble up, voiceless:
What will you keep?
What will you change?
What will you do?]
[And then your eyes open.]

Re: RYE
[He will turn back to a human.] Hurricane! Hey, Hurricane, can you hear me?
[Knock on the mirror????]
Re: RYE
Probably because the other kid is drowning him in the sink.]
Re: RYE
Hurricane! [CAN HE]
[BREAK THROUGH THE MIRROR IS THIS A MAGIC GATEWAY SITUATION???]
Re: RYE
[Roll until you get 3 successes; that's how long it takes you]
Re: RYE
[Second try is one success and one failure.]
[Third try is one success and one failure.]
[He is SUPER TRYING.]
Re: RYE
You press into the flat surface harder and harder, forcing yourself closer, willing it so--
--And then you do, you're there, gasping in that awful kitchen, still no place worth being but no longer trapped, at least. Raiju only sneers and tosses Hurricane's waterlogged body at you before sweeping off through the exit to the east.]
Re: RYE
[Fuck the other guy, revenge and anger are forever secondary things, even if part of him hates and wants to hurt-]
[He goes to Hurricane's side and he knows how to revive a drowning victim, he grew up on an island and he is gonna try.]
Re: RYE
But Hurricane is limp and blue and still, and you know you've failed him (again), and you know it won't be the last time, and you kind of just want to cry.]
[That said, there's still an exit to the east, not that you can probably catch up for revenge, either, because you aren't strong enough to do much of anything, are you.]
Re: RYE
[Listen]
[He Learned Shit.]
[If it's a spirit roll, its three failures, vigor is three successes and I don't even know, he's working with knowledge, but it's a lot of physical stuff and the way to deal with wanting to cry is trying-]
[He....he may be at this a while.]
Re: RYE
Eventually you'll hear the doors to the kitchen lock for a while. But it's not the first time you've been locked in with a dead body, and certainly not the last time you'll be locked in with his, so may as well get used to it]
Re: RYE
[The funny thing is, he did manage to avoid that in the Hotel.]
[Just a sleeping Wednesday.]
[All alone.]
[And the time he was all alone when he lost Hunny, never sure if they were okay, if they weren't, if he failed-]
[At some point, he does cry because it's impossible not to. Even as he tells himself it's Nemesis memory, he didn't see Hurricane at the beginning, it can't be him for real, he isn't here right now-]
[But it's still the face of someone important to him and he can only mentally kick himself so hard.]
[It takes a while, before he'll start testing the door.]
Re: RYE
You think you'd be used to it by now, but somehow you aren't, no matter how much you try.]
[The door opens, once you finally approach]
Re: RYE
[No one gets used to someone important to them dying.]
[He stops at the door, breath shaking, and he doesn't look back, he doesn't dare to.]
[He pulls out his notebook, and a piece of paper.]
'You save Hurricane by being in his life.
He loves you and you give him a light so he can keep going despite all the terrible stuff that happens.
Just trying to be there does enough so he can step forward, at least.'
[He leaves it in the room and exits out the door.]
