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. ♥ ]

Are you just now realizing that, Talon?

No, but it warrants being said sometimes.

I'm glad to hear it from you.

You should hold onto that memory, because it will be some time before I say it again.

You only have your lack of foresight to blame.

Are you planning to stay up here the whole night?

Re: Start Here

[personal profile] rollyourluck 2020-02-18 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, maybe I should explore a bit.

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-18 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
There is plenty to see, but you should be cautious if you leave the building. It's a dangerous city.

[personal profile] rollyourluck 2020-02-18 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take your word for it.

What's the best way to get down? Should I just jump?
iamverybadass: (who invited this moron?)

Re: Start Here

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-18 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Not unless you have super powers or experience with a grappling gun. You can go down through the building, or I can call a hoverbike for you.

--Hoverbike sounds fun.
iamverybadass: (yeah so that's bullshit)

Re: Start Here

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-18 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I should have anticipated that answer.

[ He pulls out a tablet to tap on, and about twenty seconds later a hoverbike zips up and over the edge of the roof, coming to a stop a few yards away on the rooftop ]

[ This seems fine. The bikes are built to withstand batkids leaping on them from several stories him, so the sentry Talon sure isn't worried

He does step over to point out a few levers ]

Brake and acceleration, altitude control, distress beacon. Everything else should be fairly straight forward, as long as you're familiar with bikes.

Seems easy enough!

[ doing a quick check over ]

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-18 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ In addition to the levers Talon pointed out are a series of buttons with labels like "siren", "oil", and "stealth" ]

[personal profile] rollyourluck 2020-02-18 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ i wonder what these buttons do ]

I think we're good to go!
iamverybadass: (Something softer)

Re: Start Here

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-18 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Then I will wish you good luck in your exploration.

[ Whenever he's ready to take off, he can hit the streets. Or soar over them, as he likes ]
