Panther's heart

[soulping]

PRE-WRITE UP:

- I HOPE ALL OF YOU LIKE DYING…which is to say that any/all revivals that happen within the game will be instantaneous and the finishing blow that finally kills the person will remain on them as a scar for the rest of the game.
- There are no ways to go “back”; there is no “back” to go to.
- There’s no intermingling in the game aside from the starting area. This is not an excuse to party it up in the starting area...
- Powers and whatever not are off per usual, sorry.
- If you’re confused about anything, ping me on plurk or #murderpillow!

START!

[soulping]

[ You have just been told that you have only three years left to live but somehow that isn’t the biggest concern you have. Or maybe it is. You're your own person. In any news, right now you’re standing the deck of a submarine in the middle of the ocean. And even though you can’t swim (wait what?), the clouds are far more terrifying than the water below. But why is that? Aren’t they just normal clouds? ]

CONTINUE..?

[soulping]

[ After exploring the decks, you’ll come across a door that leads further down. There’s something going on behind the door but whether it’s something good or something bad—that’s been left to be decided. ]

[ hell of a thing being told he doesn't have much time to live, huh?? but that swimming thing seems a bit familiar to someone he knows. let's just peer hard at those clouds, huh? ]

Re: START!

[formaliteas]

[Those are odd feelings for him, being more scared of the heavens than of the sea. It's usually the opposite. The depths are where his parents drowned and his life took one cruel turn after another; the surface, and beyond, symbolize freedom.

He'll walk around the deck with care, seeing what there is to see.]

[ takes the submarine bars in both hands and holds on in some facsimile of for dear life. she's never seen so much blue below her feet, and it's... rocking... ugh. ]

[withmyownfists]

[ Only three years? But... she has so many things left to do. She's so young. It just doesn't seem fair. She doesn't want to die.

...

Her fists tremble with--anger. disappointment. a sense that she has somehow been cheated out of something. her future. what can she do? she can't run away from this, she can't swim....

she wants to talk to someone. or hug somebody. is there anyone around? ]

5 years late no starbucks

[featherduster]

[ Death sentences are certainly a concern, as are inexplicably(????) terrifying clouds, but it all gets very temporarily thrown to the seabreeze, so to speak, in lieu of all that water.

The novelty will never wear off.

So it is that he's leaning (possibly dangerously far) over the railing to catch a glimpse of the water below. ]

THREE YEARS LEFT

[soulping]

[ You find yourself in an operating room. It’s pretty self-explanatory. There are two tables that are set side-by-side to one another and most importantly of all they have what looks like two bodies on them. Are they dead? Are they alive? Who knows… ]

RIGHT OR LEFT

[soulping]

[ Someone should probably save them before they do die if they’re still somehow alive. If only there was a doctor somewhere who knew what to do—wait. Maybe that tall guy with the spotted hat in the corner might know something. Wait, why is there two of them? Which one are you going to approach? The one of the right or the one of the left? ]

ADVANCE

[soulping]

[ To advance you must give up something. What allows you to come closer to death? ]

[youfilth]

[ If his necromancy skill is still active, can he detect the death energy in the room?

If not, he keeps his distance either way. ]

Re: THREE YEARS LEFT

[fairhands]

[ He has no idea what an operating table is even supposed to look like, but let's. Examine the bodies on the table. ]

Re: THREE YEARS LEFT

[proverbiallyintense]

[ Examining the one on the... left? ]

Re: THREE YEARS LEFT

[feytality]

[Ugh.]

[.... EXAMINES THEM]

Re: THREE YEARS LEFT

[dirtdevil]

[ ah, dead bodies. now that's a little more familiar.

...wait, are they dead? he's gonna walk a quick circle around the table, looking for any evidence of life (and smelling for any evidence of death). ]

[withmyownfists]

[ dead bodies!?

after the corpses she had to bury in Yato's heart, she feels like she might be sick. ]

Re: THREE YEARS LEFT

[withmyownfists]

[ ... and yet, the realization that ... Panther is a doctor, and these might be subjects for study
...
and not... rotting murdered bodies...left to decompose in a field...

that helps. that helps a little. ]

...

[ but... what's a medical test body look like, anyway? she can't help it. she's a little bit curious, and creeps over to lift up the corner of a sheet to take a peek underneath it. ]

Re: THREE YEARS LEFT

[ladychapels]

[ it's nice she has literally no shards back yet, or this could be extremely unpleasant.

she pauses at the threshold—no presence behind her, figures. looks like the kid was right. Wolfwood runs her tongue along the insides of her teeth and steps inside, taking stock of both the figures on the tables and the ones standing by.

she watches them, in particular, actually.

let's check out these bodies. ]

Re: THREE YEARS LEFT

[unlimitedcoffee]

[ well, that's certainly a hell of a way to start things out, bro. before he approaches the tables just yet, he's going to be checking out the surgical equipment.

shouldn't i be wearing scrubs and get all cleaned up? ]

TWO YEARS LEFT

[soulping]

[soulping]

[ You find yourself transported into what looks like laboratory. It isn’t the good kind of laboratory and instead is more of the kind where evil people do evil things inside of it. There are huge silos with the word “SAD” written on them in the room somewhere but there’s a considerable amount of distance between you and them. Not to mention a steep drop and some guard railing. ]

[soulping]

[ After receiving your offer you’ve been transported to a familiar place to some and a strange area to others—it’s the cat dorm. There you’ll encounter what looks like Panther except that it’s painfully obvious that there’s something wrong with him. Nothing physically, no, but there’s a particular air about him that feels cold and unfeeling.

This may be your only choice to avoid him. Do you approach or look for another way out? ]

ONE YEAR LEFT

[soulping]

[soulping]

[ After receiving your offer you’ve been transported to a place. It’s hard to say what kind of place this is since there’s not a whole lot to grasp at. There is no ground, no sound, no nothing… What there is, however, another dead body. ]

TRUE HEART pt 1

[soulping]

[ You’ve arrived in a field of snow much like what surrounds the Cat’s cottage. However, there’s something a bit off about the scenery that greets you. It isn’t a completely snowy white landscape and instead there are dead bodies scattered across the landscape. The further you walk, regardless of the direction; you’ll find that the number of bodies will increase. ]

Re: TRUE HEART pt 1

[feytality]

[wait how did opening a treasure chest get her here]

[is she still bloody]

[WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON]

TRUE HEART pt 2

[soulping]

[Upon opening the chest, you’ll find a small child sitting alone inside with nothing but a medical textbook to keep him company. He seems to be wearing what looks like a doctor’s coat, except that it looks like it would fit a grown man instead of a small child. ]

Re: TRUE HEART pt 2

[feytality]

[she always knew you were a manchild

[give he a minute to do her best not to throw up in front of the manchild]
