Tea's Heart - Session 1
INFO
❍ Characters are aware that Tea's heart is being threatened by CORRUPTION.
❍ If you're in the same run, you can interact!
❍ Unit abilities are MIGHT BE ON — if, and only if, Tea has seen them work or your character has explicitly told her about them — unless otherwise specified.
Nothing Up My Sleeve can't access locations outside of the heart.
❍ Canon abilities MIGHT BE ON —if, and only if, Tea explicitly knows that they're a thing — unless otherwise specified.
❍ Characters have whatever was on their person at the time, including their cell phone!
❍ Over the course of the heart, characters are very likely to be afflicted with STATUS EFFECTS. This will be OOCly determined by dice roll. You can have more than one status effect at a time, but multiples of the same don't stack.
Roll 1d20 to receive a status effect the first time your character enters an area, i.e. once per top-level.
Each time you move to a different top level thereafter, you can roll 1d10 to see whether the effect lingers (1-6) or fades (7-10).
❍ Injury and death are possible.

"Sup."
The ball pit is over the counter, behind W.
Re: THEATRE
I'm, uh, cashing in my ticket.
Re: THEATRE
"Ooh, so you are."
He holds one hand out for the ticket; with the other, he pulls a latch beneath the countertop. It swings open like a door.
"Have a time."
W did you miss a word there or,
Re: THEATRE
[ Pretty sure W said exactly what he meant to.
Lupine is trying not to let feeling pressed for time make him make Bad choices.

"Okay, you can stop that now."
Re: THEATRE
The last ball pit I jumped in was a death trap.
[ But okay, in he goes. ]
Re: THEATRE
"I appreciate your caution." The but goes unspoken, since Lupine hasn't pushed the issue.
Being in the ballpit suffuses you with the feelings of ACCEPTANCE and BELONGING.
You experience a memory as if it was your very own! You are Not Enjoying being in a small enclosed glass space, but whatever it's fine you've got this.
Re: THEATRE
And also not a number. So he's gonna keep digging.
Dicebot says: 6!]Re: THEATRE
Re: THEATRE
This is a roll-until-we-get-8 thing, isn't it.Ugh, another nice memory to feel shitty about seeing without permission!Dicebot says: 7 again!]Re: THEATRE
Re: THEATRE
Another 7, rude.]Re: THEATRE
BALLS
and belonging and acceptance.
Re: THEATRE
another 7, and an 8, and he's nooooot giving up here]Re: THEATRE
and dig
and dig some more, and it takes a while, but EVENTUALLY you find everything there is to find!
- You experience this memory as if it was your very own! You're blind and in a Lot of pain due to horrific burns, but that's all kinda secondary to concern for C and W and uhhh feeling like a fuckin dumbass because you got too caught up in what was happening to remember you were equipped with the laser eraser, oops, you absolute walnut.
- You experience two memories, as if they were your very own! You're stressed as fuck and you feel so stupid and guilt sits uncomfortably in your gut — but you're so, so grateful for W and the tinies, who you love to pieces.
… Oh! What's this? You've found a lunch box!
- A poseable action figure of C. It has a little note in its hand…?
- One of the balls pops, as harmless as a soap bubble. You've been doused in sparkle potion, which will last a few minutes!
1/
But. He doesn't really seem to do it very much himself. And memories of being unable to stop himself from crying in public are — wow. Wow, they really suck. 2/10 stars, would not recommend.
(He'd probably feel differently if Tea felt differently, but no. There's definitely plenty of embarrassment and frustration about leaking in the memories themselves. It's great. Everyone Disliked That.)
At the same time, though, boy would he rather be reliving twice as many of his own memories of uncontrollable embarrassed public crying if it meant he could've avoided the bit where he's also spying on Tea's feelings for her unit mates, past and present! HEART GAMES ARE THE WORST. ]
