Canis's heart

[soulping]

The moment you step through the mirror door, you seem to - slip, as if the floor were made of wax, but when you fall there is no floor to catch you; only darkness.

You fall for some time. Eventually, it feels as if you're not falling at all - but rather, floating . . . and some time after that, it almost feels as if you have no body at all. The light from which the entrance of Canis's heart is disappears quickly, and you're left with nothing - not even your own screams, if you have any; nothing seems to leave your throat, and there's no sound at all, besides. Even the rushing of wind is gone, and your own pulse seems to fade away. . .

. . . what penetrates your consciousness next is the soft sound of music. Someway or another, you find yourself on a white platform; you're dressed in plain clothes of your team color, all items gone from your person. In front of you, four stones float; all perfectly square and identical to each other. Each have images - a sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, and a sparkling circle . . . you understand what you must do.

[ RAISING A FIST TO THE SKY like woah look at me i'm so good at this

before turning to devotion again, with a smile. ]

How's that?

[knighttolast]

Doesn't. . . . look particularly happy, although if you could use a one-word emotion to describe how Devotion is looking right now, it would be "impressed".

"Be careful. . ."

[wingtamed]

So that's-- one, two. . three, level three. Yeah.

. . ten sounds a lot better though, doesn't it. [ let's go back to attacking those things. ]

[knighttolast]

Well. . . . yes, level ten does sound a lot better?

But? You're? Okay. . . . you go do that. . .

Before you get to level four though, Devotion cries out to you again.

"Stop!"

[wingtamed]

[ ssstops and turns, one hand holding onto one of the potions and shaking it a little like

is it this. is this your concern. ]

[knighttolast]

. . . NODS?

[wingtamed]

[ drinks that shit.

goes back to killing stuff yeah. . . !! ]

[knighttolast]

Okay but that only fills up 20HP and you have 45HP usually.

But I guess once you kill the next one you're LEVEL FOUR anyway and that doesn't matter anymore.

[wingtamed]

[ let's try killing one of those clear ones this time that sounds like a good idea. ]

[knighttolast]

"What are you doing, stop—!"

Okay but what if like eight clear jellies come and attack you, taking down -10HP every time they hit you? You know what happens?

You die very quickly. So you'd better get the fuck out right now.

[wingtamed]

[ OWOWOWOWOWOWOW ok bad idea, bad idea!! GRABBING ONTO DEVOTION. can we run back to town now. ]

[knighttolast]

Unfortunately carrying Devotion makes you a lot slower, and those clear jellies? Are really really fast.

Two more hits and you're down, mister.

[wingtamed]

[ devotion under one arm and another potion down his throat and he's still running for the exit. ]

[knighttolast]

Devotion is pretty compliant to all of this?

Three hits and you're already back down to 10HP, but the exit is so close, maybe you can make it—!!

[wingtamed]

[ nnnot gonna chance it, DOWNING ANOTHER HP POTION AS HE RUNS. ]

[knighttolast]

You made it!
