HEART GAME: REQUIEM (run 1)

[idolpro]

You awaken in the ☆ZRAEL dorm common room. It’s dark. Darker than usual, and the reason why is immediately apparent: the lamps are all extinguished, the stars have disappeared, and the moon has shifted to new. The ocean below the glass panes of the floor is silent and still. Everything feels cold and unmoving, not unlike a painting.

What, why is she here?

Where are we, even?

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[avestan]

Beats me. But I'd bet it's not our actual dorm.

[can i go open the door to my room]

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[idolpro]

It's locked.

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[avestan]

Wow, locking a guy out of his own room? Rude.

[taking a look around the room with an int roll of 22!]

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[idolpro]

It's hard to see, with Zrael's general color scheme, but it almost seems like the room is... more monochrome than usual?

But there's nothing around except the exit door.

[huffs, annoyed, and while Doodles does that she's just going to fiddle with her BMO to try and return that call]

[idolpro]

Aside from the emoting and talking display, changing the tab gives you a mostly normal phone. There’s a few apps available:

- The vidchat where you spoke to Princess Bubblegum
- A few game apps like tetris or fruit ninja
- A… dating app?
- A picture and video sharing app titled “Idolgram”

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[poisong]

[VIDCHAT!!!]

Oiii, Princess. We actually have a ton of questions.

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[avestan]

[walking up to ash and peering over her shoulder to see how this goes]

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[idolpro]

She blips back onto the screen after a moment.

"Yes? What exactly do you need? I thought I was perfectly clear."

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[poisong]

How are we supposed to find the True Heart or whatever? Especially if we can't even leave this room.

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[avestan]

Also, where is this?

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[idolpro]

"Uh, maybe try the door? And you're in Requiem's heart, duh."

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[poisong]

[glances at the door, but first]

What does the True Heart look like?

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[avestan]

Her heart, huh? Ohhhhh boy.

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[idolpro]

"You'll know her when you see her.

... Probably.

Anyway, I've got like, STUFF to do. Soooo. Laters!"

And she's gone again.

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[poisong]

Aw, come on.

[to Doodle]

Want to try the door again?

Re: DOODLES & ASHLEY

[avestan]

I mean, the one I tried before was mine. The exit's probably fine.

[and he'll go to try the exit door!]

MARCY'S HOUSE

[idolpro]

You exit the ☆ZRAEL dorm. The door clicks behind you as you close it, locking itself. You step onto the porch of a small two-floor house, surrounded by shallow water. The whole area is within a dark, damp cave, only a little chilly. You can see the cave mouth not far away-- beyond it, the night sky shines.

There’s some stuff lying around--- on the porch and across the water, on the cave shores.

Not too far away a girl with shaggy brown hair wanders, wearing some light armor in purple and gold and a sword at her hip, searching for something among the rocks.

Re: MARCY'S HOUSE

[poisong]

[whoa, what??

calling out to the girl]

Hey! Hello?

Re: MARCY'S HOUSE

[stakesthesame]

Nemesis turns to face you, with a crooked smile. “Hey. Had a feeling someone new got dropped in here. What's up?"

Re: MARCY'S HOUSE

[poisong]

[waves, approaching]

We're looking for the True Heart, or something? I assume it's the same for you.

Re: MARCY'S HOUSE

[avestan]

[going to check out the stuff on the porch while ashley chats with nem, 20 on the search roll]

Re: MARCY'S HOUSE

[stakesthesame]

Digging through some of the stuff, you find:

- Wooden stake: advantage against vampires 1x per fight. 1d6 dmg
- A broken banjo: it’s broken. It doesn’t do anything. Throw it at something for 1d8 dmg.
- Christmas lights: bright and distracting! Maybe this’ll make you harder to hit? +2 AC
- Leather jacket: dang, this thing is rad. Punk ain’t dead, baby. +4 AC
- A small journal.

Re: MARCY'S HOUSE

[avestan]

[score, this shit is all coming with him

taking particular note of the journal though! anything interesting written in it?]
