✿ Powers are off. Mundane abilities are a-ok, as are items currently being carried.
✿ Backtracking is allowed within specific areas, but you will not be able to get back to the nexus/hub unless forcibly booted there or by "completing" an area.
✿ You're not alone, so feel free to trek through the areas with each other.
✿ Death may occur, but ICly it's pretty obviously fake and will only result in the aforementioned act of being booted back to the nexus/hub, no other consequences. 
✿ Certain NPC tags will come from corresponding accounts, not soulping.
✿ BGM is for ooc flavor.

✿ IRC channel is #yuyukokoro

the cat's realm ( nexus )

[soulping]

[ Falling into the heart is painful, a tightening sensation around your neck so that you can barely breathe, until there's a sickening snap! followed by a chilling blackness.

But luckily, it's over quickly.

When you open your eyes, you find yourself in a large, empty room, drab and beige with questionable shag carpeting. There are no windows, but a mass of filing cabinets and cardboard boxes both whole and ripped to pieces, are strewn about. There’s very little free floor space, so have fun hopping over the remnants of the boxes and each other.

At the very corner of the room is a single door. A black cat lays snoozing on a box near it. ]

[ah so the memory she just got]

Heeeeey!

[soulping]

[ Sir Meowington does not have time for excited spirit mediums, so you'll have to wake him manually. ]

[feytality]

[pokes the kitty]

Lemme guess, there's a murdercase?

[ it takes a moment to shake off that feeling, but glancing around slowly. luckily this isn't his first time in a heart, but. this should be interesting to figure out where he is ]

Anyone around here?

[ standing up and straightening himself out ]

[soulping]

[ hello i am a sleeping cat ]

[unlimitedcoffee]

[ going to start by peering into some of the boxes, anything in there? but glancing at the feline from time to time, too ]

Re: the cat's realm ( nexus )

[feytality]

Mr. Coyote!! Good timing.

Re: the cat's realm ( nexus )

[unlimitedcoffee]

So the pup's in this heart, too? Fancy seeing you in another one of these together. Any ideas who it might be this time?

Re: the cat's realm ( nexus )

[plotluck]

[Ow? Rubbing his neck as he sits up.]

....Weird...

[soulping]

[ Sir Meowington is already up and about after being woken up several times. He jumps on Percy's lap. ]

They've already left, so depending on how quick you are, you may be alone.

[plotluck]

[PETTING CAT because that's what you do.]

Eh...? You're here right? Am I supposed to look around?

Re: the cat's realm ( nexus )

[withmyownfists]

[ well, sorry kitty, normally she'd be a lot more excited to see you, but currently, hiyori's busy frantically panting her neck and trying not to cry. Did she--what was that just now!? Did she die? ]

[soulping]

You're not dead. Well, not more than usual.

Re: the cat's realm ( nexus )

[cihuatlatoani]

[Some sort of office, maybe? A storage room? She isn't sure, but she's approaching the cat.]

[soulping]

[ yawning ]

Another one?

saigyou estate & the forest ( area 1 )

[soulping]

[ You find yourself in a large, empty rice field. The wind blows softly, but the air is a little too chilly to be comfortable. The dregs of winter are just wearing off, after all, and spring still needs to catch up. You should probably take cover somewhere before night falls.

To the right, you see a large, sprawling estate in the far distance.
To the left, a thick forest lies. ]

Re: saigyou estate & the forest ( area 1 )

[feytality]

Woah, trippy!

[heading to the right...]

[soulping]

[ There's about ten straight minutes of walking, because holy shit this field is huge.

The estate is an enormous, ornate Japanese-style mansion. There’s a short bridge to cross over before you arrive at the front gate, a shallow pond stretching over most of the entrance. The gate is locked from the inside, but you could always hop the fence. Although, the polite thing to do is knock, right? (There’s a brass knocker right there, you jerks). ]

Re: saigyou estate & the forest ( area 1 )

[plotluck]

[FOREST YOU SAY going to the left, curious and exploratory.]

[soulping]

[ The forest is, as said, thick and gangly. There’s only one entrance clear enough to proceed through without cutting down the trees themselves.

There is a large sign at the entrance. It’s old and rusted, worn, but begs imploringly for you to reconsider your actions. Your family will miss you, you are loved. You have so much to live for. ]

[withmyownfists]

[ take cover? from what...? is there something out here to be scared of? or just the cold? ]

[soulping]

[ ...the cold, yes ]

Re: saigyou estate & the forest ( area 1 )

[unlimitedcoffee]

[ well, then he's going to be taking a right on over toward the estate ]

[soulping]

[ There's about ten straight minutes of walking, because holy shit this field is huge.

The estate is an enormous, ornate Japanese-style mansion. There’s a short bridge to cross over before you arrive at the front gate, a shallow pond stretching over most of the entrance. The gate is locked from the inside, but after a moment of searching, you can locate a small brass knocker at the gate head. ]
