Angel | Heart Game (pt 2)

As soon as you start to fall asleep, the world of Imeeji is engulfed by a bright light.

It’s strange, isn’t it? You have fallen asleep, and yet your consciousness is awake. You’re simply floating, waiting to remember what it’s like to exist. However, as you wait, a growing fear clutches at your chest. What if you don’t remember? What if you will always be empty? What if you never find what it is that you are looking for? What if you die?

You aren’t sure, but you swear that you just heard someone singing . . . the words are incomprehensible, but it makes you feel something familiar . . . a feeling that makes you feel like you’ll find what you’re looking for . . . and that everything will be alright in the end . . .

What is that feeling?

. . .

HUUUH?!

You don’t know?? Wowee . . . well, don’t worry! Since we're friends, I’ll tell you!

It’s hope, of course! !
scarvedforlife: (Really you don't need to be shy about it)

I'm a better constructor than I thought I was!

[ Looking for something to write with. ]

[personal profile] nohalation 2019-02-17 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[There's probably a piece of coal or something like that.]
scarvedforlife: (I heard he's got STDs.)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2019-02-17 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Pin pon!

[ Taking the coal to draw a frame on the wall around the figures, then write next to. ]

"Family is what you make of it. So by that train of thought, if you want one, you can make your own. "

... Yeah, that's more or less how it goes.
scarvedforlife: (Thought for food.)

Oh room, oh room, is there anything else you seek of meee?

[ APPLY WIT... 3! ]

[personal profile] nohalation 2019-02-17 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[It needs . . . dusting! I guess.]
scarvedforlife: (Oh please no.)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2019-02-17 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'm the maid now.

[ Using the edge of his cape to start dusting gosh. ]

[personal profile] nohalation 2019-02-17 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[YOU DUSTED. Good job, buddy! Hopefully you don't have allergies.]
scarvedforlife: (Tell Dr. Kida alllll about it.)

[ Going to flop into the chair to catch his breath, picking up the hairbrush again. ]

Angeellll, how do I make picture-you smile?

[personal profile] nohalation 2019-02-17 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[As soon as you hold the hairbrush, a memory plays in your head:

You can see Angel getting her hair brushed by someone that looks similar to her which you can infer to be her mom. Angel herself is very small, maybe no more than 4 or 5 at most.

Though her mom looks tired, her expression is at least gentle enough, and Angel seems to be quite happy about it. It is a scene that happens several times over and each time, Angel seems pleased to have her hair brushed so nicely. Even her mother eventually comments with:

"You do have lovely hair, don't you?"

But at some point, a man with blonde hair and golden eyes barges in (most definitely the father), looking at the scene with a disgusted face. "So what the servant said was true, after all."

He comes right up without a word and drags Angel by the hair away from the mother. Unfortunately for Angel, her mom doesn't really do anything about it. She just looks away with a resigned face. Pulling out a knife he had at his side, he cuts a good length off despite the cries coming from the child.

"I will make sure that you will be █████████. It is in your name, and it is in your blood so you will do best not to forget it. Understand? You must not gain any sort of affection. There is no point in enjoying anything. You must certainly not gain hope." He drops the length of hair in his hand on the floor. "It will be worse for you if you do."

And the memory fades.]
scarvedforlife: (Forzen memories.)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2019-02-17 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whup, dropping the hairbrush in surprise. ]

Aah... so it was that kind of shitty situation.

[personal profile] nohalation 2019-02-17 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[It clatters, but it seems fine.]
scarvedforlife: (Thought for food.)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2019-02-17 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, sorry Angel, but destroying this kind of thing's no good either...

[ Pushing himself out of the chair and picking up the brush, tossing it between his hands for a moment before going to the fireplace and trying to get this thing lit. Apply wit... 10! ]

[personal profile] nohalation 2019-02-17 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[You are suddenly gifted with knowledge on how to take some of that debris and start a fire with it! You can control it to the size you want, and hey, you can even know where the best places are to break the ice.

Staring at it, you can see that someone has intentionally frozen this fireplace for some reason but it's not a natural thing at all.

A thought comes into your mind: It is scary to think about this room.]
scarvedforlife: (Is no one in this series subtle?)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2019-02-17 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
I know that feeling...

But being scared of it means it has power over you, so it's probably better to face it head on, right? And you've got all of us backing you up.

... I really hope someone's listening to my cool speeches, jeez.

[ Gonna get on breaking the ice and lighting the fire. ]

[personal profile] nohalation 2019-02-17 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[It would be funny if it was just you speaking, huh?

You manage to light up the fire in the fireplace. The ice is gone and the room is even warmer.

The room is clean, the fire is lit, and though the portrait hasn't changed, the little figurines that Sho has made seem to be smiling a little bit bigger.

Or maybe that's the trick of the light.]
scarvedforlife: (Thought for food.)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2019-02-17 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well... This is better. Onto the next adventure, but I will come back for you if I hear word you're not cheery, room!!

[ Looking for a door. ]

[personal profile] nohalation 2019-02-17 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh yeah, there is a door that I FORGOT TO LABEL.]
