Heart Game: Hurricane - Run 2

[At first, all is still; all is silent.]

[The only light is the light from your phone, where a checklist has taken over the screen. It reads:]

___ Make a change
___ Repair something
___ Protect something
___ Find the True Heart

[woah this is

also a lot]

I had noooo idea Hurricane's world and head was so sci-fi.

[It is extremely sci fi]

[The techs are bustling about; they don't seem to have taken notice of him yet]

[he's gonna sliiiide over to a cluster of lab coats to see what's going on in the holo display--any info there he needs to catch]

[The hologram display hovering in the air nearby shows a turnaround of the schematics, underneath a header that reads CODENAME: LEADER.]

[The suit next to it is somehow VERY appealing.]

[It's person-sized, sturdy and slim, painted in gleaming shades of white and purple. When the light catches the lines of it, it shimmers like an expensive sports car. The pocket knife that rests on the workbench beside it has a laser-based blade instead of a steel one; the tiny blade glows a muted purple to match the armor. It is a pocket knife, so there is also a laser corkscrew, a laser screwdriver, and a laser toothpick. Maybe don't use that last one.]

[eyes LIGHT UP at that, though no promises about toothpick shenanigans.

Waves his hand to get the lab folks attention, calling out]

Heeeey! I volunteer to test run this one!

[A balding man in glasses heads over.]

I should hope so. It's yours.

Just for me? Awwww, you shouldn't have!

Okay but how do I put it on.

You just step in. The suit will do the rest.

Ominous, but appropriately sci-fi. Okay, let's do this.

[stepping into the dock or whatnot?? sci-fi is not C's genre, so he looks skeptical but ready for whatever]

[The suit accordions up to cover him, the fit snug but comfortable. A HUD overlay appears over the world, with helpful stats like HP. You know that if it's too distracting, though, you can retract your face plate and leave your face uncovered.]

[While wearing the suit, +2 to any ally combat roll per turn OR -2 to the attack roll of all enemies in the location per turn. +2 to Def, +2 Damage. You now have the ability to fly and have access to comms. You can contact any other player wearing a suit from any location in the heart.]

[wooooah

Ok he doesn't get sci fi but he hella gets video game logic so this is just delightful for him]

Wooow, so cool! It really was made for me! Hey, doc, looks like the instructions are all in the manual, but any secret tricks we should know about?

Edited 2020-02-16 19:52 (UTC)

You should be good to go.

...but maybe don't use the toothpick.

His world is pretty high tech. Are we getting suits?

I dunno if I could even move in that thing. . .but it'd suit you, right? No pun intended. Is it like a strength enhancer?

I think what gets enhanced depends on what kind of suit you get.

Of course a hero would be way more receptive to this. Okay, check out the holograms, it look like there's more information about each one.

[Super found his LEADER SUIT]

We should also talk to some techs about how to use these properly.

[But going to check the data on that one eye-catching suit]

[The suit is person-sized, slim but powerful, painted in gleaming shades of forest green and burgundy. When the light catches the lines of it, it shimmers like an expensive sports car. The gauntlets covering the arms are bulky and thick. They're not active right now, but somehow you know that they trigger a force blast on impact.]

[The hologram display hovering in the air nearby shows a turnaround of the schematics, underneath a header that reads CODENAME: DEKU.]

[...........Mori is having a lot of feelings]

[have fun with those feelings]

[Is this what reclaiming an identity feels like. He saw that memory of Hardcore's but he never felt any passion like that for the name 'Deku', he never felt any attachment to it or desire to reclaim it for himself because why would he.

But here it is recontextualised for a hero and there's a sense of... Something, welling up inside of him, that he's not sure he can put a name to. Some possible understanding of how he must have felt in that moment, even if he doesn't fully know why. Reaching to put a hand against those gauntlets.]

[You can practically feel the power thrumming through them.]

Oh - um, yes! Right!

[No time for emotions right GOTTA GO, REACHING FOR THE SUIT]

[waiting for him to shounen-magical-girl into the suit, already in his own now]

Woooow, look at you! You look like, triple a hero now.
