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.

You have your cell phone … but it seems the OS has been overwritten? Instead of your usual wallpaper, there's a symbol on a wh — no, it's not a white background; it's pearlescent, with softly shimmering hues that change subtly in the light.

Before you use the cell phone, sign in with your name and a profile picture. You'll have access to: contact list; voice messaging; text messaging; camera.

(("Sign" in with your character's name in the subject line!))

LIMINALITY

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)


You're standing in a starlit liminal space, between the sky and the … sky …? There's a horizon of sorts, unfathomably distant, but there's no real sense of up, no real sense of down. There's nothing beneath your feet, yet it feels solid enough. You sense infinity — you think that maybe you can hear infinity, in fleeting whispers of beautiful, incomprehensible music.
protectshisown: (To the sky)

[Ooooooh]

[Man, this is COOL AS HELL]

[But he can only appreciate A Bit.]

Miya? Are you there?

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
There's no response.
protectshisown: (.........what?)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2022-02-17 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Can he follow the music?]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure!

Except for the part where, the more he tries to follow it, the more he realises that it comes from everywhere and nowhere, and that no matter where he seems to go, he doesn't seem to actually be going anywhere.
protectshisown: (Oh this is very awkward)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2022-02-17 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that is inconvenient. Pretty though.]

[Caaaan he choose to follow a Specific Star?]

FRACTURE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Reality shatters.

You fall.

The world's a broken kaleidoscope, a fractured blur of fractals, tilting, whirling, spinning, rushing. It's incomprehensible. Sickening. Your ears are full of ringing bells and screaming wind as you fall, fall, fall.

What do you do?

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
He can walk.

And walk, and walk, and walk, and walk.

And walk some more.

And still, he doesn't seem to be any closer.

But then the world breaks, so it's a moot point, really.
protectshisown: (Oh gods)

Re: FRACTURE

[personal profile] protectshisown 2022-02-17 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELL]

[SOMETIMES YOU WALK AND THINGS BREAK]

[This is also a Weird Sensation With Falling, WOW OKAY.]

[Weirdness might not provoke Evolution, but he can and will change himself into a bird and try and get control again.]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You're out of control, careening towards the the ground fifty thousand feet below. The sheer speed you're falling at strains your wings, spends you spinning.

But.

Bit by bit, with effort, you start to slow yourself. You're still going fast, too fast, it hurts, but you maybe probably won't die.

THE GARDEN

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)


The garden is a beautiful place. It's a riot of colour, filled with flowers in full bloom … though uh, the blood red cracks — shaped oddly like wild roses and the flower of the star of bethlehem — streaked across the sunny afternoon sky might be a little alarming. Scattered here and there through the grass are wispy black and blue somethings.

A well-worn dirt path leads to a bridge, which crosses over a stream. A huge old apple tree, its branches laden with fruit, seems to be the centrepiece of the garden; beyond it is a cosy-looking house. There's also a bee-hive! Buzz buzz.

(If this is your first time in the garden, roll 1D20.)
protectshisown: (Catching my breath)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2022-02-17 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[....and this is why you look up Many Animals On The Regular.]

[If he can't slow it down with wings, time to be something that can take the fall.]

[Which means he's turning into a squirrel and time to tank the damage as a tiny rodent.]
protectshisown: (That doesn't wash out)

Re: THE GARDEN

[personal profile] protectshisown 2022-02-17 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[THAT IS, IN FACT, VERY ALARMING. As as the black and blue somethings.]

[Time to change back and stumble to his feet, oof.]

[Okay.]

[OKAY]

[He vaguely knows this garden, at least.]

[Let's check that apple tree first.]

[Also 16]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Surprise! There's a man sitting on one of the sturdy branches, dressed in black jeans, a blue waistcoat, and a shirt with the top three buttons undone. The pin on his lapel matches the logo on your phone.

"Hi there."

protectshisown: (Oh this is very awkward)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2022-02-17 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not who he was expecting, but okay!]

Oh.

Hey. Ryou, right?

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's me! And you're Hiccup. What's up?"
protectshisown: (Kanye shrug)

[personal profile] protectshisown 2022-02-17 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

I'm looking for Miya. Or at least a way to help her with her...problem.
at_heart: surprised, but hearing you out (huh :: i'm listening)

Lupine

[personal profile] at_heart 2022-02-17 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
at_heart: (chatty :: okay now look)

[ —Boy, he doesn't love this, and he also doesn't love that it feels less than 100% purely alien to him? What the fuck, his world looked totally normal. Time to buy more memories after he's out of here. ]

...Well. As mind-bending forms of nonexistence go, this is a pretty one.

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-17 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)


"Ohh, yeah. The problem. Shit's a little fucked at the mo." A beat, and then, "Not in the least 'cause none of us can find Miya."
at_heart: (blade :: took a hard hit)

Re: FRACTURE

[personal profile] at_heart 2022-02-17 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, he'll try a couple of things in rapid succession. One of them is Nightingale, which works, because he told Tea about that, and probably showed it off for her during their room exploration even if she never flew with him, and another is Cut-Tongue Sparrow on himself, which doesn't, because he didn't tell her about that.

So, hands over his ears, but less falling? ]

It's breathtaking!

Until it breaks.
