[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))

[Next step is to swing herself up so she can grab the edge of the building, then pull herself up]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[Up she goes! Without much grace, but. She's totally got this.]

Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[just. just gonna take a moment to have a minor heart attack]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
...maybe I should just carry you next time.
A-anyways, we should look around...
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[HUFFS]
[but she's heading for the sparkly]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[but there's something inside of it? It's glowing a bright red]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[she mutters, as she reaches out to take it.]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[that's. yeah.]
[stumbles back with the gem still in hand, eyes wide, heart hammering.]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[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??]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
W-What—?!
[Jerks her head up, staring around oh god somebody just tried to SHOOT ME]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
Hand it over, K----- ---.
[. . .? The name is blanked out, but surely he means you]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[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!
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
What the he--?!
[Is the only thing the thug says before he is clonked right in the nose by that badge. He stumbles back, drops of blood dripping from his nose. THAT BADGE WAS HEAVY THAT HURT]
[. . . and then Ed tackles him to the ground, and his gun goes flying]

[reaching out to pick it up!]
[. . . and then she freezes again, eyes going wide]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[GRABBING THE THING maybe taking it away will unfreeze her.]

Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[LETS TAKE A WILD GUESS AT BEHIND AOKO AND SHOOT A THING PAST HER AT RANDOM.]
Re: TO NEW HEIGHTS (DOVE)
[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]
