idolpro | Heart Game: Hurricane

[ Walking along behind him after dismounting and--

SQUEAKS, leaping into the air when she accidentally trods on what turns out to be a corpse. With her naked toe beans. ]

--Okay, this is way worse than I expected!

Yeah, wow. I'm not sure I know even know how to begin repairing this.

[He's thinking about it really hard but only got a 7 INT roll]

[With an 7 Int, you are pretty sure it's hopeless.]

[But maybe if you looked around some more...?]

[ While he thinks really hard she's gonna start kicking dirt over some of these corpses YIKES YIKES YIKES ]

Do you see anything you think we can even start to repair, here?

[starting to explore, looking into piles of rubble and so on]

Dr. Yoshioka — the lab coat guy back in the hanger — was on the comms a minute ago. He says the dorms need repairing, too, so if we don't see anything here, we can check there next, maybe.

[You catch it out of the corner of your eye - a flash of color, nestled back in the ruins. Green fabric, it looks like. It's not lying crumpled on the ground, but stretched out tight, like it was placed on purpose. From here, you can't see much else. You'll have to make your way around the wall.]

[ ! ]

[Hmm hmm gonna check it out!!!]

[Someone's created a shelter, here in the ruins.]

[Only one wall of the building is still intact, but someone has managed to craft a makeshift tent against it, from an awning and what looks like a tablecloth. It's small, but it's standing, and that's more than can be said for most of the rest of this rest of the place.]

[ Giving Cobalt an uncertain look for a moment, but then peering inside the makeshift tent (Please don't be FULL OF CORPSES), tail tip twitching in agitation. ]

If you're alive, bang on something.

[Inside the shelter, there isn't much. There's a blanket, and a grungy pack of playing cards. Tucked into the corner, hidden under a chunk of concrete like someone was afraid of them being found, are three cans of chicken soup.]

[Iissss there anything inside? taking a peek over Sabre's shoulder]

... was this Hurricane's?

[tfw you're a nice middle-class girl from a rhythm game franchise and then this.]

Whoever's it was, it looks ditched.

If it wasn't his... it wouldn't be here.

[HE'S HUNGRY AND HIS IMPULSE IS TO OPEN THE CAN WITH HIS LASER SHURIKEN AND CHUG IT DOWN

But he probably shouldn't eat Hurricane's heart

his life is so unfair]

Since all the stuff in his heart is like... symbolic of something, I wonder what it is we're looking at.

Is it like.... finding a sense of security in a bad place? Should we like. Fortify it.....??

Edited 2020-02-18 04:29 (UTC)

To fortify it we'd have to take stuff from somewhere else. And it's all like... heart... bits... or whatever.

I think this bit matters the most.

Cobalt-san's right. I think we should make it better.

Maybe with bits of rubble or something?

[he looks up at the blood-red sky]

I guess whatever we're doing, we should do it soon.

Then this might be the only thing we have the chance to do. I think we should do it.

[She's already looking round for anything she can see to help.]

Edited 2020-02-18 04:36 (UTC)

Fine, you two take care of it.

I'm just gonna...

[ She goes back to trying to half-bury as many of these corpses as possible.

Yeah... ]

[So... IS there anything they can use...?

[Is there anything she can PICK UP with her +0 strength modifier, more accurately.]

Okay. I'm going to get to work.

[He starts HASTILY grabbing the biggest sheets of concrete he can lift (Str 14) and building some makeshift walls around this bad boy, fortifying the shelter into something more sturdy than just a tarp. Or at very least something that is more hidden, to keep safe from the monsters he saw in the dream that one time.]

I... I think it might be? It looks familiar to me... I think I saw him dreaming about this place once.

[before he can explain that, he points]

Oh, what's that?
