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.

[ SURELY

but you might catch sight of Mira flouncing and maybe hear Sparrow crying or sounding sad while she talks to Love??? ]

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[criticalbark]

Sparrow...?

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

[ Sparrow is still talking with Love in a quiet, very sad voice :(

SHE WILL. PROBABLY NOTICE YOU ONCE SHE'S DONE BEING REALLY SAD WITH LOVE ]

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[criticalbark]

[ WELL

I GUESS I'LL JUST WAIT PATIENTLY THEN ]

[barrette]

[ EVENTUALLY LEAVES THE ROOM

her barrettes are gone and her eyes are red and puffy from crying, but she seems to be calm ]

Lupus? You woke up!

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[criticalbark]

What happened.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

Mira and I beat the splinter.

[ pauses like she doesn't want to say anything else. ]

I think he's mad that the real Love didn't want me to leave her.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[criticalbark]

But what happened to you.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

...He was really angry.

[ upset enough that he made her cry ]

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[criticalbark]

Where is he.

[ im going to destroy him, lovingly ]

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

I don't know. He left with Devotion.

[ gestures to the room behind her. ]

If you want to say hello, that's where Love is.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[criticalbark]

...If I see her, I might not leave again.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

She's... not like the impostor. But it's up to you.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[criticalbark]

...

I don't trust myself around her, either way. None of us ever should have come in here in the first place.

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

Alright.

I don't think it's a good idea for me to talk to Mira while we're here, but there's something I need to finish before I go. Can you find him?

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[criticalbark]

Uh-huh. Leave it to me.

[ because he's pretty much just as likely as me to try and break things and less likely to realize that

and also I need to hit him a few times ]

Re: > ██E█ ██U█: B███████ > ██E█ ██U█: B███████

[barrette]

[ :|b to the area select...! ]
