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: The Outpost
Leaving so soon? I can make a door for you if you're certain.
Re: The Outpost
I've got no desire to change anything like this.
[a pause]
But you'll have to remind me to show you that memory I've got of me beating the Joker's face in with a crowbar.
He's not always like that.
Re: The Outpost
Re: The Outpost
Worth a shot.
1/2
[ With that, he straightens up and heads for the door of the building, tapping it just once. The frame glows brightly for a moment, but otherwise nothing seems especially different about it. ]
You can leave through—
Re: The Outpost
And just as quickly he straightens up, blinking in confusion. ]
Sorry, what was I...? I made your door, right?
Re: The Outpost
You okay there?
Re: The Outpost
[ Hhhhang on, looking kind of distant for a second and muttering under his breath ] Why are there more caves...
Re: The Outpost
... Because of the Joker?
Re: The Outpost
Re: The Outpost
he just. suddenly looks so tired.]
Yeah. Sure.
Re: The Outpost
Re: The Outpost
Throw Griffin out.
Re: The Outpost
Re: The Outpost
[whatever warmth was there before, is gone, as he drifts towards the door Talon pointed out.]
This is the way out?
Re: The Outpost
It is. ... We will need to discuss this when Talon wakes.
Re: The Outpost
We don't.
[there's that smile that doesn't quite meet his eyes.]
Griffin just did you a huge favor.
But also he's a wild card who doesn't know how to listen to warnings.
Re: The Outpost
Re: The Outpost
[mock shock, almost convincing as he gets his act under control.
and yeah he's approaching the door]
Frankly, I'm offended at this libel.
Re: The Outpost
Re: The Outpost
Anyway, live a little. Enjoy the peace and the lack of endless laughing.
It'll be good for you.
[yeah, he's going to exit, with nothing further to say to True Heart.]
Re: The Outpost
Time to go track down Griffin ]
