ROLO'S HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

You fall through space breathlessly, airlessly, your heart skipping a beat. When you land, everything is black for a moment before you rise and see who is with you and where you are...



((Important OOC Note: HOW TEMPERATURE WORKS
Each area of the heart has a temperature applied to it. This "temperature" is essentially a status effect that acts on the emotions. I'll give the details of each emotional status effect in the writeup for that area. Generally I'll give the percentage amount that it's changed, ie, "10-30% (effect)". The reason I'll give a range here is to give you leeway to play with what's comfortable for you while still maintaining the effect. However, a general guide is below:

Warm to hot - Players feel an increased sense of agitation, uncertainty, and general lack of security. All other feelings are normal.
Moderate (normal/default) - No effect. Players feel their emotion as normal.
Cool to cold - Players feel an overall decrease in emotional reaction. Severe lack of affect is in the area.

Players are of course permitted, if you think your character would, to realize their current emotions are under some kind of influence.))

Looking through the left door you can see another room, dusty and dark, with bizarre-looking spiral clocks on the wall. Through the right door you can see some kind of display room with pillows on short pillars and things on those pillars.

[NIFTY :|a spiral clock room it is]

[follows again, looking around at the clocks as she speaks]

Iolite, right? I think-- you're the only one I don't know.

[dramatispersonae]

The Left Wing

[uroboric]

Yeah, that's what the colour means, at least.

I'm Kyouko, who're you?

[medpacksapunch]

Tsunami-- or Sakura, I guess. Have you met Gust, before?

[uroboric]

Nope.

It's not like we're welcomed dinner guests of Turquoise or something.

[medpacksapunch]

Well, that's-- you could come by, if you wanted. Neji does. And Spitfire and Obsidian and Jaina would be welcome, too... it's just--

[uroboric]

What? Worried Vincent'll tag along~?

[medpacksapunch]

It's Vincent that'd need to be worried!

[uroboric]

I doubt it. If you did fuck all when he killed off that girl you like so much, you're not gonna mess with him just 'cause he dares to crash a dinner party.

[medpacksapunch]

Mm, that's-- because Echo didn't want us to go after him. Since she was the person he hurt, I didn't want-- to make her more upset by not listening.

But him coming into Turquoise territory again would be trouble.

[uroboric]

. . .

[medpacksapunch]

In the end, she's more important to me than he is.

And-- what I want, if we're going after him, is for him to be sorry. You know him better probably, but even I know that killing him back or something wont make him sorry. He was practically trying to goad us into it.

...We did kind of all want to punch him in the balls, though. It might not make him sorry, but it might be close enough.

[uroboric]

You're not gonna make a guy like that sorry.

[medpacksapunch]

[huffs] Yeah, I know. That's why it felt pointless to go after him-- he wouldn't be sorry, and Echo would be more upset. We might even be giving him what he wants.
