[Maya's Heart]

[soulping]

[Everything goes white, almost blindingly, as you enter Eveningstar's heart.... it's so overwhelming that you forget, for a moment, what you're doing, why you're here, and details about yourself start to slip---]

[but then it all stops, abruptly, and your senses return to you]

[soulping]

Help me test out all this cool stuff? Great! Grab a burgerchair and let's get started.

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

Ah, no.

[she looks up, gesturing to the cracks]

To help you remove those, I should think. There will be time for socializing later.

Re: START

[soulping]

[looks up... she doesn't seem to notice anything]

What tendrils? Are you stressed out? C'mon, relax a bit!

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

[pauses, but nods]

May I look through your things to find something fun?

[maybe she'll find something that can help them along the way; at any rate, it seems more productive to look around than to argue about the tendrils]

Re: START

[soulping]

Sure!

[she picks up a samurai action figure and holds it out to Lace to take]

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

[she takes it with a smile]

Thank you.

[but also turns to look at the rest of the toys and games as well]

Re: START

[soulping]

[as your fingers brush hers you might notice that there's no sensation at all, almost like you just touched air]

[but there's plenty of stuff! The games are meant for large groups and you can see Clue and Sorry in your immediate view]

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

[pauses in surprise at that sensation, staring at her, then looking up at the tendrils and cracks more thoroughly than she had before]

Did you design this room? It is lovely.

Re: START

[soulping]

[if you stare long at her, you might notice that she seems to flicker]

It's my room! You like it?

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

Ah, yes... It, it is nice.

[peering around for a door, though]

I should like to see the rest of your house if you would let me.

Re: START

[soulping]

[there's nothing you can see]

This is it! My room, my house! I can take you on a tour here if you want.

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

[a slight nod]

A tour would be lovely.

[another glance at the cracks and tendrils]

Re: START

[soulping]

[she starts to lead you... away from the cracks and tendrils!]

Okay, over here we have some pictures of my friends!

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

[one last glance at them before she's led away]

Would you tell me about them?

Re: START

[soulping]

[she gestures to the Epona-blue ones first]

This is my team!

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

Mm. Epona, am I correct?

Re: START

[soulping]

Yeah.

[she doesn't seem to have anything else to say. Also, the entire team is smiling, which is Extremely Weird because most of them are angry grummps]

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

[pauses]

May we look over there next? [gestures in the direct that the cracks and tendrils are]

Re: START

[soulping]

There's nothing over there.

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

Are you certain? I think I see something.

[slooowly taking a few steps, looking back up at them as she does]

I will only be a moment, and then I should like to hear about the rest of your loved ones.

Re: START

[soulping]

[as you near, you might see something behind the TV - it looks like a door]

I'm certain! Come back!

[And Eveningstar will be putting herself in between you and that wall]

Re: START

[bloodbiter]

[gasping a bit when she sees it, only stopping when she's close to eveningstar, and then reaching her hand out hesitantly to see if it moves through her]
