Heart Game: Hurricane - Run 3

[idolpro]

[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…]

[The whispers won't shut up.]

The people you love, their backs to a wall, fighting, and fighting, and going down in flames.

It doesn't have to be that way. Not this time.

[Sabre's machinegun fire attacks the remaining harbinger, and it roars its rage and lunges for you, but with a 9 it misses.]

[ MAN that SURE IS THE BAD SHIT. A shiver goes down her spine. She tries to get the images, the intrusive thoughts, out of her head. And lobs a grenade at one of these things. ]

Eat shit!

[ Wisdom 11
Dex 15; Damage 9 ]

[Your arrow barely misses, as the harbinger twists sideways to avoid the incoming shot by a hair's breadth. It comes up biting, teeth sinking into your shoulder with a 22 (dam 2)]

[But your mind is filled with whispers.]

You can stop it. You know you can.

Besides - it's better you than them.

[You have become infected. You are overcome by the urge to seek out another player and sacrifice yourself to save them, whether it is objectively rational or not.]

CW: suicidal ideation...ish. / self sacrifice. IDK.

[ Her grip on the her bow loosens and--she honestly doesn't even feel the pain of the blow to her shoulder, except distantly--but that's fine too. Because it really is better if it's her, isn't it?

Her own cousin wanted her dead... she should by all rights be dead. It's okay as long as it's not in vain, right? ... That's fine.

Quietly, Hiryuu looks for someone to shield. Someone to save. ]

Master...

[ He had felt off too-- something had overswept him. But he can't leave her like this. No way... Arms wrapping around her as he drags her into an embrace with a roll of 18 charm. ]

Master, come on-- we can't stop here and now. You've kept me alive all this time and I won't let those things hurt you. You have to snap out of it--

[The whispers are too loud. She can't hear you over the sound of her own thoughts - or perhaps she just doesn't care.]

[Don't suppose a dumbass with intelligence reasoning at 13 is going to be any better... ]

Master-

[ Shaking her. ]

Listen to me...!
