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.

[ seems PRETTY CALM, if WARY about this ]

Well, it looks like memories are free right now...

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

--?!

[pulls out his phone OH WOW]

That's a bargain. . .well, okay then. This won't be so bad! Should we all just take turns? We gotta pick emotions for the characters too, right?

[EXCITEMENT NOW]

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Taking turns would work. Looks like we need at least three and three.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

Then let's do it! I don't quite get how our emotions will translate here, but if nothing else, we can at least make a damn good story. [HOPEFUL NORMAL MAN]

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

[ APPREHENSION... ]

Yep! Let's do our best!

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

[messing with the tools!! feeling more confident and happy now]

So for our normal girl--confidence? Happy? We've gotta make something to portray that right? What about a necklace or something?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

We want an offensive item in the end, so I honestly am tempted to say sword.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

Oh, right! Let's go with that then. She'll happily wield a sword of justice!

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

The happy swordswoman! I like it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

[rolling up his sleeves!! EAGER!! LETS FORGE A WEAPON. Getting a hammer and some goggles!!]

Okay, what next--we fill in the next space with whatever we remember?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

I think so, yeah. You buy a memory and... it just kinda goes in there?

1/2

[darkroastbean]

[taking out his phone then]

Okay, since they're free, I'll buy one. This is easy-peezy. I only have one memory so far, but I don't think my life's that complicated.

Soooo. . ."She worked very hard at--" [buys a memory]

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

[CONFUSION. BETRAYAL. HORROR. GUILT. RAGE. WAY TOO MANY EMOTIONS as tldr, P seems to be 'posing' as a pharmaceutical doctor in order to expose big time drug lord in LA, ratting out his comrades (the blond man is apparently a con artist too? what?) but also accidentally getting them seemingly killed in the process. oops.]





. . ."busting illegal drug rings?" H. . .huh??

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

She worked very hard at busting illegal drug rings! Perfect.

[ HE IS QUITE SURPRISED, BUT HIS POKER FACE IS FUCKING IMMACULATE ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

[s......slides to the floor. are they dead?? did he kill all those people?? hey wait]



Y-yeah. Yeah.


[give him a moment]

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

[ pat pat. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

[wheezes. EMBARRASSMENT AND STILL MORE WORRY but. just gonna get back to forging]

H-how about you go next?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Hm. Should I pick a memory where it all falls apart for our next one?

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

--do you want that kind of memory? That, sounds kind of rough.

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

I have a couple of easy choices for it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

You mean past memories? Well. . .if you're sure it won't mess you up. [CONCERN]

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

It won't. I've taken these ones before.

[ boop boop the PRESS CONFERENCE SCENE ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

. . .

So one day, a "press conference" happened. Easy enough. [MORE CONCERN THO]

But, wow. They put you on the spot for that? That just seems like normal law enforcement stuff.

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Heroes aren't normal law enforcement! Also I'm pretty sure the incident being mentioned was a giant super-beast going on a rampage and killing hundreds of people and unhousing thousands at least.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

That's. . .a lot. But it's not your faults though? Like, just because you're a hero doesn't make you a god.
