Tea's Heart - Session 2

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.

The top levels that require a roll will have a note.

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.

Through the muddle of myriads of sights and sounds and colours, you think, you think you can hear a third set of lungs somewhere around the apple tree!

Gotcha now.

[heading to the apple tree /o/]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 08:56 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.



"Well hey there."
1istheloneliest: squarebox @ dreamwidth ([uhh] you can make my night)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi. What's your name? I'm Hardy.

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)


"Ryouta. Nice to meet you, Hardy. Enjoying your day? Having a good time?"
1istheloneliest: malagraphic @ dreamwidth ([neutral] and so buff)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You too.

[said in a nice but somewhat distracted voice]

So, uh, what are you doing in that tree?

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)


"Keeping an eye out for Problems." There is absolutely a capital letter going on there.
1istheloneliest: squarebox @ dreamwidth ([huh] coldest with the kiss)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
....I see. What kind of Problems?

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)


He very helpfully points upwards.
1istheloneliest: squarebox @ dreamwidth ([concerned] come a little closer)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[looking up, is there something else in the tree? or does he mean the cracks in the sky?]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
He seems to mean the cracks!

There are only three things in the tree: Ryou, Tree Things, and what looks to be a nest tucked into a cosy nook.
1istheloneliest: squarebox @ dreamwidth ([thinking] enough to eat)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there anything in that nest?

[he figures he might as well just ask but turning his attention to the sky]

So those cracks aren't a normal thing after all, huh?

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)


"There's an apple. A snacking apple! And no, the cracks are definitely, absolutely not normal."
1istheloneliest: squarebox @ dreamwidth ([looking] look so sweet)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm, I wonder if the apple could be useful...

So about the cracks, I don't suppose you could point me in a direction or give some advice about what I can do to try and help mend them?

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)


With a laugh, "If any of us were in a position to give advice, we'd have dealt with it already. All I can say is, take a look around. A careful look around."
1istheloneliest: squarebox @ dreamwidth ([exasperated] he's my favorite flavor)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, thanks.

[well time to look around some more, he'll head towards the house but on the way he notices those blue-black... somethings in the grass and stop to inspect one up close]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Closer inspection reveals that they're definitely feathers - the small, fluffy ones that cover Miya's body, rather than the flight feathers. They're singed.
1istheloneliest: malagraphic @ dreamwidth ([what] would you take)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That can't be good.

[looking to see if the feathers intensify in any direction/lead anywhere, leaning down to pick one up

if they don't he'll continue to head for the house]

Have fun experiencing this memory as if it's one of your own, in painfully vivid detail!
1istheloneliest: squarebox @ dreamwidth ([stare] when you're looking)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELL that was unpleasant]

She ended up in the tree... but he said there was only an apple?

[going to head back to the tree to try and climb up and examine the nest in more detail! the house can wait]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ryou waves, but otherwise seems content to let you do whatever.

The nest is built of sticks and lined with soft grasses, flower petals, and soft fluffy feathers. An apple sits in the middle.
1istheloneliest: malagraphic @ dreamwidth ([back turned] hey stud)

[personal profile] 1istheloneliest 2022-02-18 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[taking one (1) apple! and if that goes without incident he'll head for the house at last]

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-18 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
The apple is a nice, big, juicy-looking one. Just touching it doesn't seem to do anything though.

So he's welcome to head to the house.
