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.

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 was once an ordinary, {emotion1} girl. She worked hard at {memory/event1}, and tried her best to be {emotion2}. She was surrounded by friends, a loving family, and even had someone she liked.

One day, {memory/event2} 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 {emotion3} again. Until the world made sense again.

But in the end, that day never came. When she looked behind her, all she saw was {memory/event3}, and all she had to console her were the regrets of those who crossed her.

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

[ FROWNS AND PUTS HIS HANDS ON HIS HIPS. this is the empathy bond of a bird who doesn't like that story because hashtag too real. ]

[darkroastbean]

S...sure. . .so this is a game, huh?

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Normal man! You must be so very excited! You finally get to join us for a game!

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Do you dislike stories or the game? Both, I suppose?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

I don't like THIS story because it's a downer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

[COMPLETE NEUTRALITY, NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING]

Why do they need something for offense for a storm?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

The storm is a metaphor, I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

I'm gonna do my best. This seems easy enough at least.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

Like an emotional storm?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Well, given they want a weapon, like 'storming the stronghold' storm.

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

Huh. But they're asking for protection too, right? So that wouldn't make sense.



Wait, are we supposed to be the weapons??

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[Welcome to the empathy bond. I's current feelings are summed up quite well as more of a hum.]

I'll do my best to help as much as I can as well then. I'm sure with all our efforts combined, we'll be victorious for sure.

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

We're making the weapons, with memories and feelings.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

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

[Welcome to his current mood]

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

[;;;;;; is this what television static feels like. Not commenting on that yet til he gets a feel for the game, tho on P's end it's complete and total Normal Man Neutrality with a just a Twinge of 'gotta do my best!!' anxiety]

Eheh. . .right! It's just telling a story, how hard can that be?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

[ WHEW ]

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

Re: DISCUSSION

[darkroastbean]

[SLIGHT ANXIETY but its fine!!! ITS FINE]


Oh. Okay. So how do we do that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

See? So let's just do our best. No matter what, it can't be so bad!

Re: DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

[ seems PRETTY CALM, if WARY about this ]

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