Heart Game: Duality - Round 2

[idolpro]

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.

Ah, so that is how it is?

[Reeling as that hits a little too close to home. He shakes his head though and keeps on walking.]

Foolish. Foolish, Duality. Don't you realize that failure is the moment you stop trying to protect them? To save them.

[After a few more steps, you feel your feet sink into the carpet, as if you just stepped into mud. Is this a hallucination too? The oppressive air presses on further, everything feeling just a tad more real than before.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

[Ugh. Nope. Nope. Nope. Teleporting with cat to the end of the hallway he can see.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[asonoficeandfire]

[You get to the end of the hallway. There's a new bend to the left. It helps your mud problem, but it feels inherently WRONG. And there's something standing behind you.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

[Turning and ducking into the bend on the left to see what is standing behind him.]

[it's a child.

Re: LABYRINTH

[Looks down at the child.]

My, how embarrassing.

[Offering him his free hand. Sorry, it's probably clamy and still partially frozen.]

Come. I do not believe this is a place for a child.

Re: LABYRINTH

[flamebound]

[he looks at his hand, then up at him, then at his hand again. Stranger Danger]

...I don't know you.

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

True enough. But do you know anyone in this hallway? I would wager not.

Follow or not, child. That decision only you can make.

[And he continues forward whether the child follows or not.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[flamebound]

[He seems to consider it for a second before he pads after him.]

Wait.

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

[He stops and waits.]

Yes?

Re: LABYRINTH

[flamebound]

I'll come with.

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

I'm sure if we look long enough we'll find a familiar face. And perhaps a home for this furry friend I found in the cold.

[Leaning down and holding out his arm in a manner that suggests he'll carry him.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[flamebound]

[earlier you wanted to hold his hand and now you're offering to carry him instead?



okay fine, he walks over to him. it's better than being alone]

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

[He got an upgrade. Also he thought about the mud and this seemed like a better idea.

He picks up him then and continues.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[flamebound]

[Holding onto his shoulder for stability.

There's another bend to the left up ahead.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

[He does his best to hold onto him one handed. And he's sired quite a few kids, so at least he's used to the hold.

This hallways is really starting to be troublesome. He'll take the bend!]

Re: LABYRINTH

[flamebound]

[At least he's not heavy. He's only five.

There's an immediate bend to the left again, but also another bend to the left right after that. You've come to a small fork in the road.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

[Opts for the 'take all rights' route so I guess that means he's taking the second bend.]

How did you manage to end up here?

Re: LABYRINTH

[flamebound]

I don't know. I was just here.

[You've come upon your first right bend! It's very short though and immediately turns into another right bend.]

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

[Taking both rights then! Though he is being cautious and peering around the corner before committing.]

Hmmm. Can you tell me the people you remember? I've met quite a few here.

Re: LABYRINTH

[flamebound]

People...? What people? I've been alone here.

[there's another right bend and oh, there's Intensity and Shark!]

Re: LABYRINTH

[firstworldproblem]

[Sorry, he handed you off, kiddo! You seem to be in good hands. And you are cute. PINCHES CHEEKS!]
