Heart Game: Hurricane - Run 3

[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
___ Survive

[Then the light comes up, bright, and then brighter, and you are in…]

My what?

[Like she was just thinking: anime she doesn't watch. Her fantasies tended to involve talking cats, magic wands, and far, far more in the way of ruffles, ribbons, lace and frills.

[This is unexpected.]

Your suit. Follow me.

[He starts leading her toward the one that caught her eye.]

Re: The Hangar

[wonderlandgirl]

[She's just going to follow. Wednesday, authority figures, it's a whole thing.]

Um... are you sure you have the right person?

[Even so: this feels like a category error and maybe she needs to correct it.]

[The suit is person-sized, sturdy and practical, painted in gleaming pink and white. When the light catches the lines of it, it shimmers like an expensive sports car. Beside it, on the workbench, a force-bow cuts an imposing arc; no arrows are visible, but somehow you know that in order to load it, all you need to do is pull back the string and the laser tech will take care of the rest.]

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

I'm very certain. It was made for you, you see.

Re: The Hangar

[wonderlandgirl]

It was...?

[DO THESE PEOPLE KNOW HER CUP SIZE]

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

It was. He'd like you to stay safe.

Re: The Hangar

[wonderlandgirl]

[Well... that computes.

[(Does Hurricane know her-- no let's not go there. Hurricane isn't like that.)

[But it computes: and now, she knows exactly how to handle this.]

And... if I put it on... he'd be happy? Because I was safer?

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

Yes. He'd like you to come through this in one piece.

Re: The Hangar

[wonderlandgirl]

[She nods.]

Then it's okay.

[All right. Let's see how this works. She's probably wasted enough time.]

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

[The suit accordions up to cover you, 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, you can restore +2 HP to any one ally 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.]

Re: The Hangar

[wonderlandgirl]

[This is unexpectedly kind of cool.]

Um...

[Okay standing here and talking to this guy with a visor on seems rude. Up and back it is.]

Is he here? Hurricane.

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

Technically, everything here is Hurricane. But there are two of him around, yes.

Re: The Hangar

[wonderlandgirl]

Two...?

[She blinks.]

Do you know where he is? I - they said there was going to be an attack? We should make sure he's safe, too.

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

One of them is seeing to repairs. He'll be back before the countdown is over.

The other is out in the city, with Nemesis.

Re: The Hangar

[wonderlandgirl]

They're in the city? Will they be okay out there?

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

They usually are. Nemesis is strong. She keeps him safe.
