Mori's heart

[idolpro]

All at once a rainbow of bright lights feels as if it is bursting through you. It is an intense experience, but not an unpleasant one. As the colours burn through your skin, and lighting begins to spark through your veins, you feel stronger, you could take on the world right now.

Faintly in the distance, beyond the iridescent light show that overwhelms your vision, you can just about make out some silhouettes, but they’re too blurred, too indistinct and too far to tell anything about them. You can’t see them, but you know they’re welcoming you. You’re wanted here, you’re needed here, and the light is guiding you where you’re meant to go.

Rooftop

[idolpro]

You’ve come to the foot of a dark, grimy looking staircase. You can’t see how far up it goes through the darkness, you don’t know how long it would take you to reach the top, or where it goes, or how long you’d have to walk through the disgusting ooze dripping from the steps.

It’s awful. It smells foul. Just standing near it makes you feel disgusting, you should run back and slam that door closed now.

Well that’s a mood...

[Huffs, trying to shake out his nerves before starting to climb, stepping carefully so he doesn’t slip on slime]

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

It's a difficult climb no matter how careful you are. The slime clings to the bottom of your shoes, making your steps heavy, and the air gets thin and harder to breathe. The higher you go, the more anxiety creeps into your bones and sinks into your skin.

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

[Grits his teeth, trying to shake off the anxiety, trying to force himself to remember it's just a game, it'll be over soon, just a little further. By this point, he's done with the slime holding him back, so he will just teleport in little burst as far ahead as he can see, but only as far ahead as he can see]

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

You teleport up and up, but there's no reprieve. The distance you can see in front of you gets shorter and shorter with each burst, and on one of them, you feel a small tug on the leg of your trousers.

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

[Frowns, glancing down at that, muttering to himself]

The stairs have to stop at some point...

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

You look down to see a small green bunny tugging on you.

[asonoficeandfire]

[pauses at the bottom of the stairs, to take it all in, before carefully making his way upwards]

[...he's able to truck through the thin air and the struggle.

he does pause after a moment, and attempts to freeze the slime to make the ascent easier]

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

You can in fact freeze it over, and with that the air becomes a little easier to breathe, just a little bit.

Re: Rooftop

[asonoficeandfire]

[neat. he's gonna keep going!]

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

Behind you, you hear a soft thump, and the sound of scraping on the ice.

Re: Rooftop

[liarliarliar]

...

[trudging upwards]

Why not.

Although if you are still trying to talk to Inko, she cannot follow you through the door and just stands at the bottom, watching you, fretful.

"Don't you feel it already?"

Re: Rooftop

[liarliarliar]

Yeah. I feel it a lot.

I'm glad. I had stopped feeling much of anything.

[deep breath, keeps going]

This place is all kinds of feelings. I'll try to hold onto it.

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"...Please take care, B."

Re: Rooftop

[liarliarliar]

[zettai unmei mokushiroku time

Keep moving.]

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

You climb up and up, but there's no reprieve. The distance you can see in front of you gets shorter and shorter with each passing moment. It's so dark. It's so heavy. You're so alone.

[foolmetwice]

[hooooooh boy. . . what is this?]

[Mars doesn't hesitate, though. he steps forward and climbs the stairwell, determined and almost spitefully so. YOU DON'T OWN HIM FEELINGS OF ANXIETY AND NERVOUSNESS, HE WILL CONQUER YOU!!]

[idolpro]

[foolmetwice]

[grits his teeth, eyes narrowing despite the tension that now layers his shoulders. it's hard to climb, but he does so anyway. he knows from Mori's mother and the general atmosphere of this place that it won't be pleasant, but what kind of person would he be if he gave up because of that?]

[idolpro]

You climb up and up, but there's no reprieve. The distance you can see in front of you gets shorter and shorter with each passing moment. It's so dark. It's so heavy. You're so alone.

So probably just another Thursday for you.

[foolmetwice]

[YEP. . . JUST ANOTHER THURSDAY. at this point Mars is using the wall to brace himself as he continues to trudge up the stairwell. and at some point, he manages to mutter between clenched teeth]

I'm not. . . afraid o-- of loneliness.

[idolpro]

As soon as you say that, you feel a small tug on the leg of your trousers.
