[Kaito's Heart]

[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]

((#dragonheart on IRC for this heart party aw yeah))

[It takes a bit of scrambling, but she can do that! Just don't look down, Aoko]

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you I hate you I hate you

[Muttering furiously under her breath, SHE DOESN'T NEED TO LOOK DOWN TO KNOW HOW FAR THAT DROP IS.]

[What's the next step?]

[. . . :(]

[Next step is to swing herself up so she can grab the edge of the building, then pull herself up]

[Okay. Okay, she can do that, that is easier. Kind of. JFC how much upper-body strength does he have?!]

[Up she goes! Without much grace, but. She's totally got this.]

[She makes it to the rooftop! Hurrah, Aoko!]

[thank god for that]

[just. just gonna take a moment to have a minor heart attack]

[AND THIS DERP JOINS YOU.]

...maybe I should just carry you next time.

A-anyways, we should look around...

Maybe next time you shouldn't take all of the items for yourself!

[HUFFS]

[but she's heading for the sparkly]

Edited 2014-06-14 01:58 (UTC)

[The sparkly seems to be a rather large diamond. . . which is laying directly underneath a beam of moonlight]

[but there's something inside of it? It's glowing a bright red]

Red . . . ? What's with this?

[she mutters, as she reaches out to take it.]

[So. . . this is probably a lot to take in]

[yeah]

[that's. yeah.]

[stumbles back with the gem still in hand, eyes wide, heart hammering.]

[Unfortunately, you don't get much time to absorb it]

[As soon as the memory fades, you hear a deafening BANG!]

[The sound of a gunshot echoes throughout the night. You can feel something graze your shoulder, leaving a small but white-hot cut in its wake]

[Is someone shooting at you??]

[Cries out in shock and pain, free hand immediately jumping to the wound.]

W-What—?!

[Jerks her head up, staring around oh god somebody just tried to SHOOT ME]

[. . . it's the man with the handlebar mustaches, and he's pointing his weapon right at her]

Hand it over, K----- ---.

[. . .? The name is blanked out, but surely he means you]

[. . .]

[okay she could panic and freeze]

[or]

[she could do what she's doing]

Like hell!

[ignores the pain in her arm to THROW THE POLICE BADGE AT HIS FACE AS HARD AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN]

Eat justice, you jerk!

Fine... do you want the gun? Or the hang glider?

Hold on—

[she's distracted by the diamond]

...oh... what's that inside of it? [staring closer...]

I'm not sure.

[reaching out to pick it up!]

[. . . and then she freezes again, eyes going wide]

[...!!!]

[GRABBING THE THING maybe taking it away will unfreeze her.]

[SHE JERKS BACK out of reach before he can.]

[You hear it too, the deafening BANG that sounds like a gunshot, though Aoko is the only one grazed]

[If it grazed her but she isn't dead and there isn't a ricochet noise like it hit something else that means there's only so many places a shooter could come from. It's not above. It's not below.]

[LETS TAKE A WILD GUESS AT BEHIND AOKO AND SHOOT A THING PAST HER AT RANDOM.]

[GOOD THINKING ED]

[There's a deep, yell of surprise as the shooter steps out of the shadows. He's a scruffy looking thug, with a handlebar mustache and a fedora. And he's pointing his gun at Aoko while he rubs at a cut on his cheek]

What-- who are you?!

[Now he looks confused]
