Yuuichirou's Heart.

→ for those running it a bit early, characters are aware Nyssa is behind the heart-jumping!

→ please fill out this form before your character gets into zone 2, ooor shortly after! not filling it out until then is fine, but please make sure it's there before. going that far.

→ your characters are aware that going backwards is an awful idea, and shouldn't be attempted. if they leave an area, they can't backtrack, but that definitely does not mean they will not ( somehow ) end up back there.

→ in every zone aside from zone 00 and zone 02, you're more than welcome to partner up with someone else!

→ all abilities/powers are on, and characters have all items on them, including weapons.

→ irc chan is #ghiblitears

ZONE 00

[soulping]

[ there's a white nothingness that stretches as far as one's eyes can see--no window, no door, no sky, no visible roof. just nothing. but it seems like everyone else has gotten stuck in the same nothingness. . . spread across it for miles and miles. perhaps you've landed close to a friend, a teammate, or maybe you can just barely see the closest person, as they stand far, far away.


however, there's definitely something else out there. there's a feeling in your gut, that if you just look hard enough, call loud enough. . you'll find it. ]

[loveinvein]

[ This is INTENSELY WORRISOME. Briar acknowledges there are people in the distance he theoretically could approach, but also: Nah. He's going to try and resolve this himself. ]

[ Time to go looking for whatever is urging him onwards! ]

Re: ZONE 00

[fightorflight]

....Hello?

[terminalbanchou]

[ He rubs his shitty human eyes, assuming he's dreaming. Or in another person's dreams, again. ]

What is it you need?

Re: ZONE 00

[secare]

( glancing around. . . what the hell is going on here? but he feels unsettled. like really unsettled. )

Hello?! Is anyone there?

Re: ZONE 00

[footwork]

[ well this place sure is nondescript. nothing would get done by just standing still though, so... starts walking, curious ]

Re: ZONE 00

[gateofbabbylon]

[as he's walking]

Could whatever or whoever is in here with me please stop being so cryptic and come out?

[in truth though he's a bit surprised the start of yuu's heart is like this]

Re: ZONE 00

[plotluck]

Eh...? [Looking around like, what... What???] [Maybe if he shouts REALLY LOUD] HELLO?!

Re: ZONE 00

[formaliteas]

[Looking tired as fuck. This is his third heart.]

What?

[bloomnobly]

[ Call loud enough, you say. ]

...I beg pardon? Hello?

Re: ZONE 00

[drowsier]

[Well this is... a little creepy. He looks around into the whiteness, holding a hand up to try to see farther.]

Hi? Someone there?

ZONE 01

[soulping]

[ everything's black, lights slowly streaming in as if you're just waking up--like your eyes are just starting to get used to all the light and as soon as they do it's. . a bit overwhelming.

because everything's on fire,buildings have turned into smoldering rubble, pieces falling off of them rapidly and there you are, standing in the middle of what looks like modern-day Japan--just watching everything burn. ]

[loveinvein]

[ Coughs, because that's a lot of fire which means that's a lot of smoke and this is all very unwanted!! Time to try to make his way OUT of said rubble and fire, thanks. ]

Re: ZONE 01

[fightorflight]

..Alya? Where are you?

Re: ZONE 01

[loveinvein]

[ WELP HERE WE GO AGAIN. Time to stew in my complete and utter failure for a moment. ]











[ ok cool but I'm still here and I still have my family so no matter what I gotta keep going and trying. This time let's go forward, down the dangerous path with the sounds of a car. ]

[terminalbanchou]

[ Rubbing his eyes vigorously, then wiping off his glasses as he actually needs them to see. He starts trying to find a spot he can climb to survey the area. ]

/2

[secare]

( well, this is entirely horrific. the smoke stings his eyes, the air feels thick in his throat, and this place feels so familiar yet incredibly different. )

Re: ZONE 01

[gateofbabbylon]

[to the blob after it ditches him there:] Tired of talking to you anyways.

[this feels borderline homey and familiar like one of his memories and boy does that suck

anyways, he wants to start moving briskly because falling rubble but rather than blindly charging he starts to look for any immediate danger or anything of interest that points him in a direction]

Re: ZONE 01

[footwork]

[ overwhelming's the right word for it, whoa. quickly chances a look around the area for any signs or paths, but kiiiind of more concerned with getting away from that falling rubble ]

Re: ZONE 01

[formaliteas]

[Well, this sucks.

Is there anything to see amid the debris and fire?]

ZONE 02

[soulping]

[ remember that giant fucking span of nothingness that this whole mess started in?? good job, you have gotten back to it. you're a real trooper.

at least the shadowblort is looking a lot more friendly this time. ]

You're still here.

Re: ZONE 02

[loveinvein]

[ Thank god the parents were just terrifying shadows though, cause I mean. You can never be sure! And Mika's sure lost his dead baby Yuu in transit. That's tragic. Mikae spends a moment completely ignoring Ashuramaru to frantically find out where he's gone. ]

—where is he?!

ZONE 03

[soulping]

[ it looks like you've made it back to kyriakos! or. . well, the Queen's castle, as it had been before nyssa took over and the world's got swapped.

everything is a bit blurry around the edges, but you're standing right outside the castle door, facing forward. the door's wide open and inviting you in, if you'd like to. you know there's no turning back, especially from here. ]

Re: ZONE 03

[loveinvein]

[ THIS WORKS FOR MIKA! He's going to waltz right in there. ]

ZONE 04

[soulping]

[ mirrors. there are mirrors everywhere. on every wall, coating the floor, coating the ceiling. the only thing you can see in them is yourself, and the door you had gone through to get in here? is gone.

you're all alone with only yourself to keep you company. well yourself, and the soft laughter of nyssa, coming from above. it's terrifying enough to give you chills through your spine. it's. . enough to break someone, isn't it? feeling this useless, this weak, this unable to do anything to stop anything, there's so many people who have gotten hurt, and it's all your fault, you couldn't protect them, you couldn't do anything, you only sat and watched as people died and did nothing.

what kind of monster are you. . ? ]

Re: ZONE 04

[loveinvein]

[ A vampire. :) ]

[ Even if that is all true though, Mika can't just stop. He ignores Nyssa's laughter, and approaches one of the mirrors. ]

ZONE 05

[soulping]

[ something flashes a bright white before your eyes, erasing everything in sight before--

suddenly, there's a classroom? and you're sitting at a desk close to the window, and you could swear there's a teacher speaking, droning on about something unimportant.

but there's no one else in the classroom aside from you. the notes on the desk you're sitting at are almost impossible to read, much too messy. there are a few parts written in english ( ? you think, the shapes look similar ), while the majority of it is in very messy hiragana. if you take the time to look it over, some of it looks mildly important, like don't drink the water and the end of mankind but it's. so hard to make out more than that. who wrote this, a three year old? ]

Re: ZONE 05

[loveinvein]

[ ... Mika has never been in a classroom like this so he barely recognizes it for what it is anyway. The handwriting is especially ??? Everything about this is ??? seeing as he was just smashing mirrors. ]

[ What if he just... leaves? ]

TRUE HEART

[soulping]

[ the lock to the door gives an audible click as it opens, and inside of it is--just a very, very empty dorm room. there's a loft bed that's neatly made, a closet with a closed sliding door, a small desk with an empty notebook and pencil sitting on it, but--nothing else.

aside from yuu who's standing in the middle of it, wearing a ( possibly ) familiar uniform with a giant sword strapped to his back, a shield strapped onto it's sheath, and his katana still at his waist. ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[loveinvein]

—Yuu-chan!

[ Of course he's going to go right for Yuu rather than take his time and looking around who do you think he is. ]
