Misato's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself at the start of a very long corridor. The temperature is cool and all of the walls are made of smooth, steel plaques. You can make out what seems like a door several feet away, at the other end of the corridor.

Your footsteps echo as you walk and exactly halfway through you can see two more corridors branching out to the sides:

To the left, at exactly the same distance as both doors, is a large board displaying some text you can’t make out from here.

To the right, there appears to be nothing but a desk with some papers on it and an empty, red chair behind it.

I won't take you in.

[WELL IF IT IS THAT BIG. i suppose i am more interested in swooping around to see what i can see. IS THERE ANYTHING INTERESTING DOWN HERE]

It's blood, isn't it... what could bleed so much?

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[there's nothing else here! the area is pitch-black, but somehow you find you can see each other just fine.

you feel somewhat at peace.]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

Who knows? Most likely it's just metaphorical.

Somehow a doubt a peaceful sea of blood is her corruption.

[flaps back up toward the last door on the elevator shaft]

No further floors. . . we could have used the elevator all along.

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[ironically]

There's at least two more floors, they just lack a door.

[I GUESS I WILL HOVER AROUND THE SEVENTH FLOOR AND TRY LASERING A HOLE INTO THE WALL?]

[...welp]

It's possible there was a door here once.

[A REALLY LOUD ALARM JUST WENT OFF, CONGRATS YOU TWO. The level of the "blood" is suddenly raising fast until it starts leaking inside that... door... you just made...]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[ironically]

That's more like it.

[whup

I GUESS WE ARE GOING IN THE DOOR!]

[the notblood keeps flooding in, it's now easily up to your ankles. the smell is overpowering, but in contrast you start filling completely zen and happy with the world, this is where you belong.


also I guess there's some mysterious-looking console on that corner over there.]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[ironically]

[oh that's a nice feeling

it's probably good i have never responded to contentment with anything silly like zenning out or not blowing shit up, heading over to the console but at an unhurried pace]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[sightunseen]

[I am looking at this console! NOT FEELING VERY ZEN THOUGH SINCE I AM UP HERE.]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

It seems to be the device that operates the elevator, or so you can infer from looking at the screen, which displays once more:

[looks back to the doorway =|a]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[dramatispersonae]

[THAT IS NOT A DOORWAY.

but there is a wall that seems to be moving now, where your "doorway" is, and you can now see an elevator door.]

[IS BLOOD NOW IN THE ELEVATOR ALSO OH GOD]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[ironically]

Breaking the rules hasn't been very effective.

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[dramatispersonae]

[well you haven't called the elevator yet so technically not.

but the blood is still coming in from your gaping laser hole]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[sightunseen]

Go press the button—

[presses 6 as well before he leaves the console]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[ironically]

[heads over to call the elevator!]

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[sightunseen]

This hole — is there a way to fix it?

Re: [Misato's Apartment]

[dramatispersonae]

[while you're chatting, you may or may not be able to notice that 6 is, in fact, still red]
