Tea's Heart - Session 3

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.

There's a bunch of hearts on the back. Touching any of them imparts the associated feeling.

[ he touches all of them one by one, so he doesn't get overwhelmed. ]

[ ...oh. he takes a seat and just holds the painting close. he's doesn't think he's good at these kinds of things, helping, that is, but he's going to try his best for miya. returns the painting to the wall. ]

I love you too.

[ since his senses are all heightened to an alarming degree he's going to sniff around and see if he can catch her scent. ]

There's nothing to indicate she's anywhere near here ...

But the scent of nugs is really strong around the portraits.

The WcNuggety scent seems to be coming from a trio of paintings clustered together, each with an AlcheMe purple frame interlaced with intricate feather details. At the top there's W hugging a cute li'l octopus plush; below him are C and B. B and C are painted to look like they're holding hands, and if you look real close, you may spy red feathers scattered in their backgrounds.

[ hm. he figures the red feathers might be from the w painting, since all three of them are kind of connected. what happens if he removes the three of them? ]

They don't budge.

But you do notice something odd about this section of wall! It's sunken in slightly compared to everywhere else, and there are tiny grooves like it's moved before.

[ going to take a bunch of steps back... and then bum rush the wall, trying to head butt right beneath the paintings. ]

BAM

… You somehow manage to ram your head right through the wall. Just your head though. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE … found … THE CONCESSION STAND. It smells very nuggety, and for some reason you can see a ballpit?

W, wearing a purple waistcoat and heart-shaped pin, is standing there, hands on hips, looking down at you.



"Hi."

[ so he's stuck... BAD.
HE'S KICKING HIS FEETS REAL HARD. ]

Little help here? My butt didn't make it through.

"Yeah, I got you. You're gonna have to go backwards though."

A bunch of feathers detatch from his wings, wiggling out of the tiny gaps between him and the wall! They bend to hook around his hind leggies and start tugging him back out.

W- Wait! Are you going to come back with me? If you're going to kick me back into the theater at least give me a moment to ask if you've see Miya!

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-21 12:48 am (UTC)(link)


"I'll lift the wall when your head isn't stuck in it. Then we can chat."

TUG, TUG.

FREEDOM ACHIEVED.

[ FREEDOM! ]

...ok, thanks. [ plop. he's dragged out of the wall. ]

[ noses the wall as soon as he's free. ] I'm real worried about her after I heard what the guy outside said...

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-21 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
The moment you're clear, the wall slides up and away like a shop window shutter. It reveals a fairly simple counter space, with a stack of menus for your perusal if you want to order something.



"There we go! That's better." He leans an elbow on the counter, "I get that you're worried, we are too, but try not to knock holes in any more walls while you're looking for her, yeah?"

[ his ears turn down. ] Was that... bad? [ he doesn't want to hurt miya, if this place has some sort of deep rooted connection to her. ] I just want to find her and I'm not all that great at... fixing things. Breaking things, sure, but... [ sighs, shoulders sinking inward. ]

[ also, pink, wtf is going on with you and... your new friend. ]

Re: THEATRE

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2022-02-21 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, HeartW is.

He's keeping an eye on that.



"We'll have this patched up in no time. She's sturdy like that. At the same time, I've gotta encourage a lighter touch."

[ pentium looks over his shoulder... is pink going to need a hand? ] I'm not the best at that, but I'll certainly try... for her. Is there anything that you can tell me that'll help?

Re: THEATRE

Pulls up a fire extinguisher. Sets it on the counter.

"What are you looking to know?"

[ kfjdkfhffkgh. ]

And you told me to have a lighter touch?! At least I didn't set the place on fire. [ taking the fire extinguisher, brb, he needs to put the fire out. ]

[ eventually he comes back over, giving a heavy sigh. ]

Where she is, though I'm sure if you knew you... wouldn't be here. I guess any clues that may help. If Pink hadn't pissed off that swan it might be easier to poke around here, but... [ he did. sobs. ]

"To be fair, the swan is just like Tuesday for us."

Crunches some popcorn.

"The only clues any of us can offer are: explore, touch things, try not to die or hurt her."

Does this swan exist in alcheME! then?

I had a feeling you might say something like that. [ explore and touch things, that is. ] The last thing I want to do is hurt her, so I'll do my best.

"No. It's part of her life back home."
