[Kaito's Heart]

[soulping]

[A gust of wind rushes past you, so strong that you nearly stumble backwards from the force. You hear whispers in your ear, an unfamiliar voice saying, no, not here, not now, go back, before your senses shut off entirely]

[You wake up again to find yourself in a room]

Oh! Did he try to clean the bleach with ammonia? You're really not supposed to do that.

[DING]

[Something clicks from above, and a rope ladder suddenly drops from the ceiling to the floor]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[fuhrinkaed]

...oh!

Oh! Hah!

Hey guys, I found another exit! I'm gonna' go check it out!

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

[REAPPEARING—]

Ah . . . um, I'll come too?

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[fuhrinkaed]

Sounds good. There might be more keys up there... just four more and I can open that door.

[Starts a climbing.]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

[Climbing after him!]

There's another door I think we need to open. It's . . . there's a bloody trail, and seven locks. I got one open.

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[carptricks]

[Climbing is easy enough]

[When he reaches the ceiling, he will find a. . . trap door, of sorts. Only the door is actually a portrait of Kaito's father, the one from the memory. He's dressed in a crisp black suit and holding a top hat filled with doves]

[This trap door is secured with two chains and two padlocks]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[fuhrinkaed]

...Hm.

Did the key disappear? [Looking back at Aoko.]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

No, I've still got it.

. . . Wherever this goes, it's really important. And very, very personal. I think we need to check it out.

[She says that incredibly reluctantly.]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[fuhrinkaed]

Yeah.

There's probably more keys, too. [WELL, I HAVE ONE AND AOKO HAS ONE... LETS TRY THEM.]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[carptricks]

[Both keys word, and the locks and chains slip away and fall to the floor]

[You can now pass through the door! And your keys haven't disappeared]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[fuhrinkaed]

I see!

So then, the keys are a measure of progress. We can use each one at each door once... so when we have enough, we can get to everything.

Let's go, Aoko.

It's like an rpg dungeon . . .

[THROUGH THE DOOR WE GO]

[through the door you go]
