SHOOT ME WITH LOVE'S MAGIC BULLET! ～Ｏｔａｃｏｎ Ｈｅａｒｔ～

[soulping]

[ You're now trapped in the freezing Alaskan tundra, with a blizzard whipping at you. It would be great if you had warmer clothing, but even if you did, your clothing has changed.

► Belt now has REVOLVER OCELOT'S COSTUME and A REVOLVER, with only ONE BULLET.
► Garnet now has SOLID SNAKE'S COSTUME, complete with UNLIMITED AMMO BANDANA, an Mk. 23, and butt.
► Hydra now has RAIDEN'S SKULL SUIT, A KATANA, and also, butt.

There is a grey, drab facility about 50 meters away. You best get running and get inside before you freeze. ]

INSTRUCTIONS

[soulping]

This heart will be run semi-D&D style, with dice rolls accompanying several actions. Everyone, please reply to any soulping comments individually, and then interact with each other by replying to each other's comments. Example to follow.

This heart will also be semi-linear, with an order of where people need to be and what items must be found to proceed. The boss fight and sequence of events can and will change depending on what happens.

Also, example:

[ There is a snake and an apple. ]

[lifehacker]

Oh, hey, food.

[ Takes the apple. ]

[hellinsurance]

[ Carefully steps over the snake to look further into the room. ]

SHADOW MOSES

[soulping]

[ Get through the snow already! ]

Re: SHADOW MOSES

[pawper]

[this winter needs to fucking get on my level

not looking bothered about the cold at all]

....the heck am I wearing?

Re: SHADOW MOSES

[goodbyenurse]

[...I am the only person here wearing something not completely ridiculous.]

[Wait. I have a beret. Curses.]

[Oh well, no time to waste on being upset. TIME TO TROMP THROUGH SNOW.]

Re: SHADOW MOSES

[onebullet]

[ Does my butt look big in this?

She's too bothered by the cold to give the costume a good look over, but by God is it snug. ]

Hff, alright. Let's m-move.

[soulping]

[ You left the KYRIAKOS AREA and have now checked both the RIGHT and LEFT doors.

The center door requires a cardkey.

The pool of water dripping from one of the unreachable walkway doors has grown. Watch your step. ]

THE LEFT DOOR: KYRIAKOS

[soulping]

[ The LEFT DOOR leads to the entrance of the KYRIAKOS CASTLE. Unlike the actual area's layout, the castle seems two-dimensional and prop-like. The courtyard and garden is there, but it is very small. To the left is the COVE with TIAMAT'S DORMSHIP in it. To the right seems to lead to what appears to be a stage set of the inside of RATATOTSKR'S DORM. In the very center of the courtyard is a LADDER that descends down... someplace? ]

Re: THE LEFT DOOR: KYRIAKOS

[onebullet]

[ Of course she's going to gravitate towards the Dormship. ]

Re: THE LEFT DOOR: KYRIAKOS

[goodbyenurse]

[JUST GONNA START BY TAKING A GOOD SWEEP OVER THE AREA WITH HER M9 IN HAND.]

[...and then I guess following Garnet to Dormship.]

Re: THE LEFT DOOR: KYRIAKOS

[pawper]

[the other two are checking out dormship so la la la approaching ratatotskr's dorm]

AIRPLANE

[soulping]

[ Upon entering through the CENTRAL DOOR, you're inside a cramped space. The assorted computer paraphernalia to the left and center is all shut down, and the place is dead silent. Solid Snake is sitting on a bench to the right side, glaring at you suspiciously. He doesn't say anything, though.

Touch computers?
Touch Snake? (???)
Talk to Snake? ]

Re: AIRPLANE

[onebullet]

[ Sorry dude, I stole your clothes. ]

Snake...

Re: AIRPLANE

[pawper]

[oh no he's hot

> talk to snake

SMILES AT HIM AND WAVES]

Hi!

Re: AIRPLANE

[goodbyenurse]

[Well, let's get to the computer touching.]

STEALTH ROOM

[soulping]

[ shit son let's play mgs ]

[ You enter a room and can hear... mooing? You also can somehow see a map in the corner of your vision. The radiation warning symbols represent Gekko wandering around. They are LARGE. Grey areas are stacked METAL CRATES to hide behind. The area seems to be some sort of warehouse storage. ]

Re: STEALTH ROOM

[goodbyenurse]

[It is unlikely that we shall be able to deal with those enemies quickly. Hiding behind the warehouse crates seems the proper action.]

[Well, let's defer to Garnet's wishes as the operational leader for the moment.]

Re: STEALTH ROOM

[onebullet]

[ Holding the cardboard box over her shoulder with one hand, the gun in the other. Going to start skirting around the outside of the room, listening carefully for Gekko and indicating for Belt and Hydra to follow. ]

OTACON'S ROOM

[soulping]

[ The team makes it through the stealth room with a rank of A+, if only because of Belt's minor alert. Congrats! Everyone's HEALTH restores. Any sneaking suit WEDGIES are now fixed. Discard the cardboard boxes in the... hallway?

The new area seems to be a bedroom, with a single window looking out over a pool outside in a backyard. The bedroom is messy and full of ANIME EVERYTHING. Two computer towers have been gutted and are in the process of BEING REBUILT in the far right corner. ]

Re: OTACON'S ROOM

[pawper]

[no i like my box :c but fine

gonna go (very gently) touch the outer casing part of the computers with curious ignorance]

More of this stuff.....

BENEATH THE WATER

[soulping]

[ The mass of blackiness and sexual abuse memories has spat you out in what looks like an underground cave. The air is thick and damp and musty, almost suffocating and unpleasant. The walls are all slimy and look to be covered with a STICKY, TAR-LIKE BLACK SUBSTANCE.

In the very center of the room is a WHEELCHAIR tipped on its side, with a GREEN PARROT sitting on the arm of it, preening itself and watching the group.

However, further back is a damaged Metal Gear REX, laying on its side just like the WHEELCHAIR. Strange DARK RED FLUID is leaking out of it, forming a pool. ]

Re: BENEATH THE WATER

[onebullet]

[ METAL GEAR!?!?!?!

Doubles over, coughing and choking and trying to get her breath back, eyes fixed on what she's assuming to be blood leaking from REX. ]

BOSS: MECHA OTACON

[soulping]

[ It seems the splinter is incorporating as much of Otacon's heart as possible: machinery, history of nuclear weaponry, everything awful involving water, and finding himself nothing better than something to be used.

REX is suddenly grabbed by a giant robotic hand, as a giant Otacon-esque humanoid robot emerges out of the water with a robotic cry; any flesh parts are grey, with bloody tears in the flesh exposing wiring beneath. The glasses completely cover the eyes and look more like lenses. Essentially, quite a bug-eyed abomination.

An abomination that swallows REX like its nothing and hangs an arm over the front half of the ship, staring down with reddish glowing eyes behind the lenses. It's so massive, the group is shielded from the rain by its head, shoulders and torso.

Boss music starts to play. ]

Re: BOSS: MECHA OTACON

[goodbyenurse]

[I'm sorry.]

[Did you say 'reddish glowing eyes' or 'huge glowing fuck me lights?']

[Because Belt gets those two phases confused sometimes. Not that it matters much as she's shooting for them, revolvers akimbo.]

[Finally, something to murder.]

EPILOGUE: TRUE HEART PT. 1

[soulping]

[ The team rides Sparkly Fake Otacon's Giant White Metal Gear REX up to the upper walkway from the very beginning, in Shadow Moses. Considering it's big enough to let them walk onto the walkway from the cockpit. The ride there was completely uninteresting, with just rain, water, snow... more snow... and a pervasive sadness. Even with the changes made by the party, some for the better, something seems sad still. Some things can't be changed entirely, really.

The door that was leaking water before slides open automatically in front of Sparkly Otacon, and he smiles mischievously. The room beyond is humid and hot, and it looks like plants and vines crawling out from the open doors. Things are organic and alive in there. ]

Re: EPILOGUE: TRUE HEART PT. 1

[pawper]

[moving to gently touch the plants, smiling despite the lingering melancholy]

EPILOGUE: TRUE HEART PT. 2

[soulping]

[ The other door requires a PALM SCAN. ]

Re: EPILOGUE: TRUE HEART PT. 2

[onebullet]

[ Pressing her palm against it and trying not to cringe away because it's probably going to shock and/or kill her. ]
