Angel | Heart Game (part 3)
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! !

Re: The Throne Room
The image fades.
It seems you still feel CHARMING.

Re: The Throne Room
You suddenly feel STRONGER. You feel like you can do more physical tasks.
--
You have an image of a young human construct with bright blue eyes with a wide smile. They are eating a plastic orange just fine. Androids can do that, you assume. They look EXCITED, and you get a sense that you want to be as cool at humaning as the rest of the court.
You suddenly feel STRONGER. You feel like you can do more physical tasks.
--
You have an image of a handsome wolfboy with full ears and tail, and he looks like he wants to go have a good time. They look charming, and you get a sense that you want to go grab a boy or two.
You suddenly feel OBSERVANT. Finding things will be easier.
--
You have an image of a cute catgirl with paws that are OBVIOUSLY FAKE, at least your witty self can tell that much. They look RAMBUNCTIONS, and you get a sense that you want to make sure that the court remains BLESSED.
You suddenly feel SMARTER. Solving puzzles and learning things will be easier.
--
You have an image of a cute birdboy, no bigger than four feet at most, and with sleepy eyes. You don' feel like speaking much. They look DANGEROUS, and you get a sense that they are stronger than they look.
You suddenly feel LIKE YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE. Smarter, charming, observant, strong, stick with one and work hard, and you'll achieve it.

The blank chair reveals a memory:
The man pulls back his hood, revealing blonde hair and golden eyes. With features such as those, one would think he would be energetic, or perhaps kind. However, in contrast to his warm appearance, his voice is stern and cold like a harsh parent's.
"Perhaps I should take care of this Court myself. After all, it's only fitting that the original heir to this kingdom be the one to strike it from the hands of one who does not deserve it."
And none of those previous feelings last. They all disappear.]

Re: The Throne Room
[You still don't hear any crash of any sort. It just disappears.]

[She brushes off her skirt, unnecessarily, looking accomplished. And then she heads for the fire stairs.]
