HEARTFORGE - LiliS (Session 1)

[idolpro]

You are in the heart of a massive forge. In front of you are tools, and your objective is clear - to use them to channel the strength of your heart and create.

What are you creating? Who can say. Only you - and only you'll know if - and when, it's good enough. The stories before you are not yours right now, but you'll make them yours soon enough.

And you will survive.

ROUND 1

[idolpro]

STORY

[idolpro]

[ The townsfolk outside tell a story - they ask for salvation, to be protected from the coming storm. Only you and your compatriots can save them. An item of offense is what they need, and the story they tell reflects the refuge they seek - you need only fill in that which is left unspoken. ]

There once was a woman who sought revenge above all else. Someone had stolen her {memory/event} and her {memory/event}...

In time, the woman got her revenge by sealing her target, along with her own {memory/event} in an {object}. The woman was safe, and over time she began to feel {emotion}.

But unwilling to let her enemy go, she held onto the accursed reminder. She would never forget {memory/event}.

Not until the day she died, with {emotion}.

You may also share additional memories/events or emotions independent of the story to bolster your object.

TURN-IN

[idolpro]

[wonderofwonders]

memory/event - smile
memory/event - future
memory/event - fear
object - tree
emotion - remorse
memory/event - his betrayal
emotion - loneliness

We're making a SWORD out of all these things!

[ Lupine's immediate reaction to all appearances in the game tower is:

1.) Juniper Tree, if possible
2.) check his phone for the rules

so don't mind him paging through them with a frown on his face. ]

Just... fill in the blanks, huh...?

[ Curious and cautious is what's flowing from Aster right now, especially as he reads over the story. ]

This is looking a bit more serious than last time...

ROUND 2

[idolpro]

STORY

[idolpro]

[ The townsfolk outside scream in terror - they are under attack! No matter how strong the item you made before was, it could never prevent the forces arrayed against this land from descending as a violent maelstrom...but all hope is not lost. With what you've made, they can fight. They need only one thing from you - an item of protection to guard against the weapon of hearts that has been brandished against them.

This time, they do not just tell you a story. They also tell you what you are facing. What you must overcome. What you must protect them - and yourself from. If your hearts are not strong enough...

...You will suffer. ]

Did you know?
You can beat me and beat me and beat me, but I'll feel no pain.


I know.
A long time ago, there was someone who set me free. He taught me something.


He was very scary and he never hung out with me. He only pat my head once.


Whenever I'm trapped in a small place, I'm reminded of that time.
If only I could see you one more time...


Before you is the legendary poleaxe Treebane. It is an excessively violent axe covered in blood and spikes of bone. It is engraved with images of entrapped idols cowering in fear. It exudes a pitiful aura, haunted by a free-willed and longing spirit.

TURN-IN

[idolpro]

[wonderofwonders]

beat me (x3) - here
beat me (extra) - here
if only I could see you one more time - here
pain - here
fear - here
free - here
trapped - here

To produce a protective shield-like barrier!

Re: DISCUSSION

[ Annnnd here's some worry. ]

... This has gotten really intense.

beat me and beat me and beat me...

[wonderofwonders]

[To forge their protection, she's willing to cast her subconscious thoughts to the times she's felt the most beat down.

And the memories come. One after another-- three of them.

...but just like in those memories, she puts on a smile that she doesn't fully mean. She understands now though. Why she wants to always smile. If she isn't smiling then she can't possibly hope to make others smile. That's why it's so important...

However, more importantly-- she gets a little choked up when she finally sees the members of her troupe. It's just a small chunk of memory in theory but she finally has reclaimed the memory of the faces of the people who are so very important to her.]

Everyone...!

[There's a great deal of warmth and affection just from that; even if it doesn't cover up the unpleasant feelings. She loves them a whole lot and just seeing them is really the best gift she could have asked for.]

Well... that should be a good start!!

if only i could see you one more time...

[wonderofwonders]

[Attempting to fortify the barrier once more, this time she thinks about the people she wants to see again, because she knows who they are now. And she's granted with a memory of infiltrating their school.]

pain

[at_heart]

[ —Shit. He doesn't want to, he knows what came out the last time he tried to do a memory-share for pain and they're going to feel it, but — losing this time around is going to hurt worse, so.

His turn hammering on what's slowly becoming a shield does not produce the same memory as last time, though; instead, it's a different game memory (mind the CWs), which leaves him shivering convulsively for a long moment after it ends. Fuck whatever gamerunner originally put that together, Izzy. ]

free

[at_heart]

[ But free is easier, right? A memory of being set free. He definitely has one of those. He does his best to focus on it, and—

—oh hey. About half of a memory he bought before, plus a little bit extra. Start at the second video and keep playing until 4:10. Lipquirk. Well, he'd figured on 'jail' being a pretty regular occurrence, but. Nice to have it confirmed, he supposes. ]

fear

[wonderofwonders]

[Another hit and another memory-- this one about an accident during a rehersal for the troupe's halloween show. A robot zombie malfunctions; causing one of their members to take an unexpected fall. He's unconscious for quite some time, leaving everyone worried about him.

After only just regaining her memories of everyone; this leaves her heart racing especially hard.]

...that was really scary... b-but it was okay. I'm so glad...
