Heart Game: Talon
Was it this late when you stepped into the Game Tower...? Now the sky above is dotted with a few scarce stars, occasionally obscured by some light cloud cover drifting by. Most of the night sky has been washed out by the bright lights of the city which, by the way, is spread out far below the rooftop that characters find themselves on. There's a faint buzz on their phones. When checked, the screen shows a Game Notice:
Win Condition:
1. Locate the True Heart
Or
2. Leave a Lasting Mark
The skyscraper towers high above the streets, easily dwarfing any other building in sight. The city is some dozens of stories below, and the sound of the wind rushing by is louder than anything that can be heard from the streets. Occasionally the wail of a siren pierces the distance, but it's easier to spot the lights of an ambulance or police car zipping through the roads than it is to hear them. If you look closely enough, and for long enough, you might notice figures in the distance leaping between buildings, sometimes in pursuit of a siren or with an emergency vehicle trailing in the distance behind them.
The roof itself is expansive—the building must take up the better part of a city block, judging by the space available up here. A helipad (sans any helicopter) takes up the entirety of one side of the roof, complete with what looks like a freight elevator for moving things from the roof further into the building. The elevator itself has a keypad lock on it, but a staircase entrance beside it has no obvious lock in place.
The rest of the rooftop is empty save for a small, hooded figure perched atop one of the parapets along the edge of the roof, feet dangling over open air.
[ OOC NOTES:
1. Powers are on. THIS INCLUDES CANON POWER SETS.
2. Characters may keep any equipment they had on them when entering the heart, but there is a risk it will be taken away during the run. However all equipment taken will be returned when you exit the heart.
3. Significant changes/damage to the heart will reset each time someone new enters an area for the first time. For example, if Bob kills the sentry at the entrance of the heart, the sentry will respawn for Sally when she arrives. This way everyone can experience the different areas.
4. CAVEAT TO THE ABOVE: exceptions made for anyone specifically going through the heart with a partner(s), or anyone who requests to react to damage that's been done. The goal here is to allow everyone to have fun in the heart at the end of the day. ♥ ]

Re: Start Here
[she considers him for a second]
So, where-to first?
Re: Start Here
It depends on what you're here for.
Re: Start Here
Have you heard of anyone named Joker? Maybe I need to find him first.
Re: Start Here
What do you know of The Joker?
Re: Start Here
[she looks confused.]
Joker's my teammate, from back home.
Re: Start Here
The Joker is a madman and a murderer. You would be wise to use "Joker's" actual name to avoid confusion.
Re: Start Here
Wait, what are you talking about?
Re: Start Here
Re: Start Here
[how did he know that. she pauses.]
Akira.
So, he's not here, and you know who he is.
[time to lift her mask and stare him square in the face.]
Who are you again?
Re: Start Here
It's me, Talon. What are you actually doing here, North?
Re: Start Here
[she is going to rush towards him now]
I guess... I'm here to explore your-- home. Heart?
You have to know this is your heart, right?
Re: Start Here
It is...mine? I know that it is mine, but terms like palace and heart...
[ He shrugs ]
I don't worry about what to call it.
Re: Start Here
I can feel my persona... so don't worry about me needing to defend myself.
[she also has her whip]
Re: Start Here
Re: Start Here
Alright.
Which way should I go to leave?
Re: Start Here
[ He frowns and reaches up to touch his earpiece again, repeating her question to whoever is on the other end. ]
... We do not know. The only one of us who might has been out of contact for some time.
Re: Start Here
Re: Start Here
Re: Start Here
Alright. How do I get there?
I'll look for clues.
Re: Start Here
Re: Start Here
[she gives him a mock salute-- and then lowers her mask.]
Don't worry, Talon. I'll do my best.
[so, she's gonna go down the stairs now?]
