Mori's heart

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.

[yep

feeling isolated really isn't a new feeling for b anyway. sometimes he even does it to himself on purpose. press onward]

The crowd is no longer bustling about, they move slowly, murmuring to themselves. A couple of the game screens glitch near by you, some fighting game blue screens before rebooting and text rolls across it--

What...? Hey.

Hey, what's going on?

[going to check the machines]

You draw closer

-no matter what no matter what no matter what no matter what-

and the edges of your vision begin to blur. Colour slowly drains away from the machine, and behind you you can feel the eyes of the crowd, now dead silent, burning a hole in your back.

You feel an urge to play the game. You have to. There's no other choice, you can't take your eyes away from the screen, even though you don't intend to, your legs start moving closer towards it.

[the fuck is this

guess i'll play the game. just to see. i have to see. i have to see. what is this. i have to look into it for mori

no matter what]

NO MATTER WHAT

That feels right. The pressure eases off, you're doing the right thing, what a good boy you are. It will all be better now, the screen begins to boot up properly once your hands touch it.

It looked like a simple 2D arcade game, but once you begin playing it you shift into a kind of virtual reality simulator. You are now playing THE HUNGER GAMES.

You start in The Abyss. Many bridges crisscross above a chasm, deep and dark. Looking over the edge, you cannot see the bottom. The good news is, there are so very many bridges-- though none of them of them have rails, each of them a precarious narrow stone path. But with so many, surely one of them may catch you if you fall...

You are equipped with a knife. The right thing to do is to go and stab as many people as you can with it. You would be so good if you did that. Don't you want to go do that?

[Drop knife from inventory]

You no longer have a knife.

But that will make it so much harder to kill people.

How boring.

That's so boring of you everyone will think you're so boring nobody will like it you should pick up the knife you should pick up the knife you should pick up the knife you should pick up the knife you should pick up the knife you should pick up the knife you should pick up the knife.

There's no compulsion to make you do it, nothing can force you if you really do want to walk away but. You should pick up the knife.

[there's one thing B is good at

and it's Not Picking Up the Knife

walking away]

You start walking, but, before you can head into one of the other arenas, there is a small tugging on the leg of your trousers.

...?

It's a little green bunny. Tug tug tug.

[stoops down and pets]

Also good. The bunny leans into B's hand.

Hey Mori.

Affectionate nuzzling increases!!

[scoops up to hold to his chest]

Yes! Good! The bunny plants it's front two paws on B's chest and thunks it's forehead against him, and that pressure to go out and do a stab starts to ease off.

...hmm.

[snuggles with him a bit more before setting him down

can I Embiggen the Bunny]

BUNNY IS SUDDENLY VERY ALARMED TO BE BIG???

[HUGS BIG BUNNY]

WELL. OKAY THEN. B SEEMS HAPPY.

Nuzzles against him.

What just this.

Ah, I lost track of things...

[glances back at the games]

No, no no no, the bunny nips at his hoodie and tries to pull his attention back. Look at bunny!!
