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. ♥ ]

[ The figure turns to face Griffin curiously, face shrouded in shadow. His voice is deep and firm in tone in spite of his short stature; an unexpected sound. It is not recognizable as Talon's. ]

How did you find your way up here?

[Twirls around playfully to the sound of the voice, flashing a cocky smile]

I should be askin' you that, short stuff. Man, puberty really is full of changes, huh.
iamverybadass: (Fuck here comes Karen)

[ He lowers his hood and scowls. Something about the mask makes it hard to actually recognize him; focusing on any of his features is difficult at best. ]

This is my family's home. I belong here. You are an interloper.
gigadevilbreaker: (Show off)

[Cute. Scowling baby. He hops on the ledge and does a little balancing walk]

I prefer sightseer? I'm new in town, y'see. Lookin' to hit up some tourist spots.
iamverybadass: (>[)

This is not a tourist location. No one comes to Gotham on a vacation—and get away from the edge! I do not have the time to catch idiots who fall to their deaths tonight!
gigadevilbreaker: (Do you do parties)

Don't worry your cute little head, I'm not falling.

[Does a little backflip! Lands with aplomb, spreading his arms like the showboat he is]

Gotham, huh. Tell me 'bout her.

I am not cute!

And I do not have to tell you anything.
gigadevilbreaker: (Wicked smirk)

All right. Well, guess I'll just follow the ruckus? How hard could it be to find some fun in a city this fucked up?

[He's got a sword and a brand new prosthetic and he's just looking to paint the town red]
iamverybadass: (Wowwwww so cooooool)

Hot on Red Hood's trail, then? He had the same unfortunate idea.
gigadevilbreaker: (Bright eyed)

[He perks up]

Jason was here?
iamverybadass: (hmmm)

Re: Start Here

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-16 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
He was. And now he's gone; in pursuit of The Joker.
gigadevilbreaker: (Mmnnnmnnn)

[Griffin's smile darkens for a second]

Oh? Where's he at?
iamverybadass: (Sharp tongued)

Re: Start Here

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-16 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ The Totally Mysterious Masked boy stares at him for a long moment

and then taps an earpiece he's wearing. ]

Go ahead.

[ Moments later Griffin's phone chimes with a GPS location for the pet store Jason ducked into, and a clip of video showing him sneaking in the back ]
gigadevilbreaker: (Get ready)

[...Hm. His smile's faded into a look of seriousness, and he pockets the phone quickly, as soon as he's absorbed the location.]

Thanks, Black Hood.

[With that, he dives off the roof]
iamverybadass: (Wowwwww so cooooool)
