HEARTFORGE - AlcheME! (Session 4)

[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.

It is. So let's try our best to turn it into a happy one then.

[Welcome to his current mood]

Re: DISCUSSION

[ WHEW ]

Looks like we gotta do that with memory sharing and feelings discussion...

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

And our dearly resurrected P is able to join us this time around. Do you think he feels terribly different?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

In terms of his emotions?

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Mm, he wasn't here last time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Well, everyone has different emotions.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

If only everyone was playing so we could have the most options! Though...I should be glad the others weren't pulled in. Still....as sad as this story may be and as few of us as there are, I'd like to see what we can create. If at least one of us laughs, won't it have been worth it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

We can definitely do our best to make a fun story at least. So, at the start should our girl be happy?

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Hopeful. It's one thing to be happy, it's another to have seen the worst and still hope for the best.

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Maybe she was hopeful, but worked to be happy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Mm! I think that makes for a wonderful beginning.

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

So P is going to share something happy, and ...

I guess I can do hopeful...

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Do your best, I'm rooting for you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

I'll do hope.

[ GOES AND BUYS A MEMORY. It is of his dad getting arrested- he walks in from outside and his mother anxiously tells him someone called 'Endeavor' caught his father trying to steal a car. the memory-emotions are like-- shock, surprise, and fucking elation. He thinks heroes are real, now, in a way he didn't before, because something in his life changed for the better. the whole WORLD seems open and full of possibilities ]

Re: DISCUSSION

...

[Hope is certainly a wild thing]

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

[ hope is a WILD THING ]

It's kind of funny, you wouldn't think my dad going to jail would be a high point of my life, but...

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Is it funny?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

More ironic, I guess.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

That's a good word for it. So....what now?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

We add it to the weapon, I guess! Do you wanna take a turn? I don't think you have to be able to FEEL feel the things, but like... if you wanna take your best shot at describing happiness maybe? For that one?

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Is that what we need next or did P handle that one?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Yeah, we're at...

'There was once an ordinary, Hopeful girl. She worked hard at Busting Illegal Drug Smuggling Rings, and tried her best to be BLANK. She was surrounded by friends, a loving family, and even had someone she liked.

One day, a TELL-ALL PRESS CONFERENCE happened. It all fell apart after that. Her friends betrayed her, her family abandoned her, and the person she liked wouldn't even look at her anymore. She thought if she worked harder, she could fix it all.

So she threw herself into her work. She wouldn't rest until everything was BLANK again. Until the world made sense again.

But in the end, that day never came. When she looked behind her, all she saw was BLANK, and all she had to console her were the regrets of those who crossed her.



... You could always skip ahead to one of the other ones if you wanted.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I can help with the last two? I think happiness is best left to someone else.

[Time to share a memory of a battle for THE EXECUTION OF ALL THINGS. As usual, his name is still obscured by howling winds]

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

A lot goes on in your life.

Isn't life more interesting when it's busy? An empty story wouldn't be very good.
