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.

[ ...looking for the concessions stand again. Is it still available? Can he get to the ball pit... ]

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-07 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's still there! As is W.



"Sup."

The ball pit is over the counter, behind W.

[ BRANDISHING the ticket. ]

I'm, uh, cashing in my ticket.

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-07 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)


"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,

Thanks, man.

[ Pretty sure W said exactly what he meant to.

Lupine is trying not to let feeling pressed for time make him make Bad choices.

It's a ball pit! Like the kind you might see in a kid's play area, but sized for adults. Pretty standard stuff.
at_heart: (sigh :: i'm with you so far)

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-08 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing happens.
at_heart: (chatty :: okay now look)

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] at_heart 2022-06-08 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, we're going to start emptying the ball pit of balls. Instead of jumping into it. ]

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-08 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
He gets maybe, four or five balls in.



"Okay, you can stop that now."
at_heart: (skeptic :: nooooot really)

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] at_heart 2022-06-08 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Sigh. ]

The last ball pit I jumped in was a death trap.

[ But okay, in he goes. ]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-08 07:28 am (UTC)(link)


"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.
at_heart: (sigh :: curseeeed)

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] at_heart 2022-06-08 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, yeah. He'll put them back after he's done. ] [ And wincing, even though that's a really nice memory, because Great! Wonderful! More invasive stuff.

And also not a number. So he's gonna keep digging. Dicebot says: 6! ]

[ 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

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-08 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing happens... except for the continued feeling of belonging and acceptance.

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] at_heart 2022-06-08 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...that's nice, but man it would make him feel really antsy if he weren't looking for something specific. DEEPER INTO THE PIT.

Another 7, rude. ]

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-08 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)

BALLS




and belonging and acceptance.

[ another 7, and an 8, and he's nooooot giving up here ]

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-08 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
you dig

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!

[ Cool, so the thing is — he doesn't have any problem with crying. People cry. It's fine, it's normal, it happens.

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. ]

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] at_heart 2022-06-08 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ BUT HEY that second-to-last thing was definitely a clue, and he's going to be looking at both the note and the action figure more closely, while... sparkling.

> EXAMINE NOTE. ]

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-08 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The note reads, "nuggies are a key item lol"
at_heart: (sigh :: man are you kidding)

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] at_heart 2022-06-08 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...well, he already knows that, and nuggies is seven letters, so. He supposes he can try turning nuggie into numbers, but he's not optimistic about it.

> EXAMINE ACTION FIGURE. Anything else? ]

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-06-08 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It's high quality and very true to C, without looking uncanny. It's clearly well-loved.
