HEARTFORGE - BAD END=DEAD END (Session 3)

[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.

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. ]

I'm fighting. Every day I'm fighting. Every day, all for {emotion1}. What else could I have done? I was {memory/event1}.

People got hurt. But I still couldn't stop. You know that, right? It's all because of {emotion2}. It's all because of {memory/event2}. It's all because -

You'll forgive me, right? I just need someone to forgive me. Please, that's all I need. Just once, before tomorrow. Before it's all over...! Before I have to face {memory/event3}!

I fought. Every day I fought. Every day, all for {emotion1}. And now, I'm nothing more than {emotion3}.

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

[so much annoyance and reluctance coming out of the empathy bond. suffice to say that he ain't happy.]

For fuck's sake, this shit again? Really? Really?

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

[right back atcha.]

Guess someone up there's got a thing, or something? Or they came up with like one idea and knocked off for lunch and now they gotta stretch it out so nobody catches on.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[whatever he's feeling is flat and muted, as usual. he's not really annoyed or anything.]

...again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

At least this is less stupid than making drinks...

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Valor is simply filled with huffy annoyance]

This is such bullshit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

That was funny, though. This is like - same idea, just lose all the jokes?

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Looks like it.

[He goes to take a look at the tools. The forge.]

Well. This don't look ominous at fucking all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[shrugs]

At least we're making something interesting this time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

It can't be helped.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[makes a quiet, considering sound as he looks around.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Yeah, using feelings and dreams and shit.

[He's over at the tools, picking one up and testing the weight. It's a hammer.]

You reckon these are just for show, or...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

I know that! That doesn't mean I have to fucking like it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Pretty sure they're not just fucking set dressing, but who the fuck knows what they're actually supposed to do.

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Might be kinda cool if they'd let us keep the hammer. The fuck these are here for, though? Thought this was about emotions and bonding and all that shit.

[He's holding the hammer, and gives it a test swing.]

This is like... an actual hammer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

"I'm sad because this game is bullshit."

[Did you get that, hammer?

[The hammer, being a hammer, does not significantly respond.]

Doesn't seem to do anything.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Probably because you're a fucking liar.

[annoyed isn't the same as sad!]

Try again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

...the last game like this, drinks were made with...those.

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Hey, I'm talking to you.

[The hammer continues not to respond. Because it's a hammer.]

Nope. Guess we're gonna have to share our pain or something.

[Or just ignore everything and get wrecked.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[just makes a quiet noise of acknowledgment.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Maybe try actually doing something with the hammer. There's gotta be something for you to hit around here somewhere.
