Heart Game: Duality - Round 2

Your sleep is restless, and it's hard to settle as your eyelids refusing to stop twitching, and you can feel an itch at the back of your mind, flashes of uncomfortable thoughts dipping in and out of your dreams, constantly interrupting your tries to relax. ... Are you even asleep?



...



Apparently you were, because you wake up with a start, cheek pressed uncomfortably to steel flooring and flickering lights overhead. Unfortunately, you don't feel very rested at all.

[it takes a long while before it calms down enough to carefully pad forward and sniff at Emet-Selch's hand]

[He's patient. His limbs are screaming at him. He's probably getting frost bite, but he's waiting.

No feelings in his limbs is going to make this difficult, but some tasks worth doing are hard. Once the cat gets close enough, he tries to grab it with numb fingers since he can't actually feel the creature, but he can hold on tight. It throws him off balance and he probably slips towards the lake the ice cracking.

But he plans to teleport shortly after. Back through the bars to the bottom of the staircase if he is able. If that is too far a distance, the shore will be good enough.]

[You get to the shore, beside the statue like person, your limbs screaming in protest. The cat is squirming a little in your hands, but you manage to keep a hold of it.

The statue beside you turns out to not be a statue, but Duality himself, only with his entire left side covered in black jagged spikes, half his face covered with a grim mask with a row of jagged teeth.]

[Oh, what an interesting look!

He looks Duality over trying to keep a hold of the cat.]

Can we talk in place less frozen over?

[Motioning to the exit on this side and heading that way.]

If you do not wish to join, I will return shortly. This creature is freezing, and I would provide it aid and a warmer spot.

[slowly, Duality turns his head to watch, as if he just noticed him]

...did you... rescue it?

Yes. Now, come along!

[And he will stand at the entrance to the exit.]

[the exit is effectively iced over.

Duality follows after a moment]

... who are you? You shouldn't be here.

[He gives the exit a look. If that cat doesn't look like it is struggling too much, he'll take off his suit jacket and wrap it around the cat like a blanket.]

Emet-Selch of BARiTONES.

[He actually does not give his alias.]

And yet here I am. Can you open this door?

[... the cat mewls tiredly, but curls up in the jacket, comforted.

Duality just watches that for a moment, before looking to the door.]

...I can. But it's not a good place.

Well, is the other door better? Truth be told, I would just like to get this creature to a warm, nice place.

It's warm, of course.

[he looks back across the lake to that door]

You did not come from there...

I have been gifted with my natural born ability of teleportation. 'Tis one of the many I used to have. Though through a lattice of iron did I arrive. Not the door. I could try to teleport you through, the three of us. It was an ability I had before, but it's duplication here I'm not so certain of.

But I could walk also as it appears the cat seems content.

I see no reason why you should have to stay in the cold either.

[He shuffles the jacket covered cat into one arm and grabs Duality's wrist. Then he begins to tug him towards the other exit.]

Again why? Is there an unspoken rule that you must have two eyes of the same color before being allowed upstairs?

Decide for yourself what you want or do not want.

[he frowns]

I can't have eyes of the same color... they've never been.

[Wow. Duality. Wow. It's fine! Everything is fine.

No, it's not he's freezing. He simply waves at him and goes to the door on the opposite side. Is it also made of ice?]

[it's not! it's a plain door fused into the rock side. it has a handle and isn't locked.

getting there takes you a while though. Duality doesn't follow, but he does watch, silently :(]
