[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]

[OOC: Channel is #quitplayingames]

PROFILES

[soulping]

[Can be viewed (it's IC knowledge) but not responded to or changed]

START

[soulping]

[You find yourselves in a large, cheery-looking room, warm and filled to the brim with STUFF. Toys, games, a huge TV, samurai merchandise and movies, burger-shaped pillow chairs, there's stuff absolutely everywhere. All over the walls are pictures, mostly of people you recognize, from Epona and the other teams. The room is cozy. You even think you see Eveningstar, turning from the TV to wave at you]

[(But if you look, really look, you'll see faint black tendrils spread across the ceiling like veins, and even fainter hair-thin cracks along the walls and floor)]

[but no, the girl is definitely Eveningstar, and she's addressing you all now and grinning]

Hey, guys! Come to hang out? That's great!

MAIN ROOM

[soulping]

[the room you enter is vast and, aside from something directly in the center, seemingly empty. The black veins run through the floor and through the ceiling, and if you really squint you can spot a few doors on the far walls. That something in the center, the only attraction, is hard to make out from a distance, but it's person-shaped. A particular person shaped, at that]

[You may also notice a green bar floating above your head. It's completely full]

[OOC: The lifebar is your life force! You can take penalties from the game, and it will cause physical pain if you do]

FIRST PSYCHELOCK - ???

[soulping]

[As you enter the first room, it's very... colorful. And tasty smelling. And for good reason, you're surrounded by food everywhere you are. Burgers, noodles, steaks, soups, desserts, snacks – even fruits and vegetables]

[there's a chasm preventing you from going further, however, and what seems to be... burger clouds covering the empty air.]

[It's the only way across]

SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[The second room is completely dark, lit only by a large stone lantern far, far down.]

[However, as you step, two blue flames appear on either side of you. No matter which direction you go, they appear by your side]

[You feel the faint sounds of a waterfall coming from the direction of the lamp and know you have to get there]

THIRD PSYCHELOCK - COURTROOM

[soulping]

[when you enter the third room, you find yourself in a courtroom]

[specifically, you find yourself stuck behind the defense bench. Powers are off, you can't leave the bench, and the only things you have provided to you are the pieces of evidence you picked up and your shiny badge.]

[The judge's bench is so high up you can't see the face of the of the judge, but whoever it bangs their gavel and calls out decisively:]

Court is now in session for Miss Eveningstar of Epona. And you are... Miss Schooler of Epona, I presume?

FOURTH PSYCHELOCK - WINDING WAY

[soulping]

[When you walk into this door, something's different]

[For one, the door slams shut behind you]

[For two, the lighting is much dimmer. It's hard to make out much of anything while your eyes adjust]

[You seem to be in a house. A massive, empty manor, with no straight pathways and only pathways that arch off into the darkness]

[And you feel very alone, suddenly, regardless of whether you are or not]

FINAL PSYCHELOCK - ???

[soulping]

[The room you enter is foggy and misty. Everything except what's directly in front of you is hard to make out. But it's less vast than the other rooms, and seems to be a large rectangle, from what you can see.]

[Doors line every side, and they're lit up like the scoreboard, immediately visible]

FINAL DOOR

[soulping]

[The light from the cords connected to Blade, Bluebird, and Flame/Mira's doors illuminates the room enough for you to see the final door, resembling this one. As you reach it, the light dispels the fog entirely and you can see that the tendrils and cracks are all over the walls and ceiling. In fact, for some reason, they seem to be running along the floor]

[Did that just happen, or did you just notice?]

[However! The tendrils and cracks stop about a foot from the door, and it's completely untouched. One single lock remains, vibrating]

[The lawyer, with a badly battered Eveningstar clutched in his arms, is staring at it intensely]

Profiles

"Bluebird" Team: Takshaka Gender: Female Lifebar: 100% An amazingly strong, tough, and kind person. Inspires many people with her strength of will and heart. Was always kind to Eveningstar and never turned her back once. Is a vampire but struggles to accept others' blood because of her independent spirit and hesitance to hurt others.

Profiles

"Green Wren" Team: Takshaka Gender: Male Lifebar: 85% Some kind of horned grey alien with odd speaking habits, but a good friend and a kind and fun person. His secret identity is Bakeman, a superhero who patrols the castle and distributes cake. His nemesis, the Yolker, seems to have vanished. Has helped and supported Epona on more than one occasion.

[soulping]

Profiles

"Nightshade" Team: Dawon Gender: Female Lifebar: 100% Some kind of cool zombie woman with glowing red eyes. She's interesting and seems really tough, but Eveningstar is not sure where she stands on her. Nightshade once 'borrowed' her body and took care of it.

[soulping]

Profiles

"Blade" Team: Epona Gender: Male Lifebar: 100% Epona's guardian. An amazingly strong and tough person who has endured terrible cruelties Eveningstar wishes she could help with. Though harsh and angry and sometimes extreme, Blade has always cared for and looked after the team no matter what they had to endure or who else abandoned them.

[soulping]

Profiles

"Schooler" Team: Epona Gender: Female Lifebar: 100% A hot-tempered teammate who tries to isolate herself from the team. Acts prickly and aloof but is emotional and sometimes vulnerable underneath. Has a large but fragile ego. Eveningstar's frequent attempts to reach out to her have been unsuccessful, and Schooler seems to barely tolerate Eveningstar at most. Turned her back on Eveningstar during Nyssa's last game.

Though he hardly interacted with the rest of the team at first, more recently he's made a few awkward attempts to express concern. Despite his frequent manhandling and occasional verbal belittlement, Eveningstar is fond of him. But she's not sure she can depend on him.

[soulping]
