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.))

They look sort of... inviting if you look for a few moments.

[scoffs]

It's not like he's special in that. We're quite the collection of freaks and tragedies, I wonder if that's just 'cause we give the best kind of energy for the Personae to use. . .

[how is a clock inviting :|a]

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[dramatispersonae]

It's so shiny and glistening and the surface is vibrating just a little with each tick.

[Doesn't really want to look at them for very long anyway :T]

Yeah, I've noticed that... well, some people are pretty normal, but not most of them. Maybe it's because we're already really used to-- you know, making big choices or tough decisions or whatever it is the Personae need from us.

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[uroboric]

If it's someone from my world then they're just spectacularly awful at it.

[touches the clock lightly with her fingertips]

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[medpacksapunch]

Careful...

[both for your sake and his...]

Are there a lot of people here from your world?

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[dramatispersonae]

You see a scene (from Rolo's POV): The punishment team meeting which Turquoise walked out on. He got very coldly angry at the implication that Turquoise shouldn't care about each other and drew closer to Turquoise as a result.

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[uroboric]

[draws her hand back]

A memory. . . is that what all of the clocks represent?

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[medpacksapunch]

Ah, really...? There are-- so many... but I guess he's been here a while...

[touches the one nearest to her]

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[dramatispersonae]

You see a scene (from Rolo's POV) of receiving the locket as a birthday gift from Lelouch. His happiness is brief, sudden, and almost painful.

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[medpacksapunch]

[drops her hand away slowly, smiling a little]

Ah...

[shakes her head and looks over at Kyouko]

Do you think we should touch all of them? It might take a while.... I've only been in two hearts before, and they were nothing like this.

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[uroboric]

All of them? Isn't that kind of a lot?

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[medpacksapunch]

Yeah... and-- since you don't know him, it probably wouldn't mean very much to you. I'd like to know more about him, but this kind of feels like cheating.

Besides, we should probably be looking for a keycard...

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[uroboric]

The one I saw pisses me off.

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[medpacksapunch]

[?? Touches that one, then and presumably gets the same memory]

...Ah.

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[uroboric]

Lemme guess, you agree with him?

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[medpacksapunch]

With Gust?

[shifts]

I don't know what the conversation was about; I didn't show up until the realm changed. But I know that team is super important to Turquoise -- to Gust, especially. One of the first fights we had was him wanting to abandon a team member who didn't feel the same. "If they don't care about Turquoise, why should Turquoise care about them?" I think.

So... it's a very like-him memory.

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[uroboric]

Not every team is like that. It's childish to close your eyes to reality and just react like that.

Turquoise wouldn't have been happy with it if Iolite had shut all of you out and said Vincent's ours, Iolite sticks together, so we'll deal with it as a team, am I right?

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[medpacksapunch]

I know every team isn't like that, jeez... I especially know it about Iolite.

And-- to be honest, at the time I didn't know much about Iolite at all, and Obsidian was outside our door yelling and demanding Vincent back. I think I kind of expected you guys were going to do that.

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[uroboric]

Haah. . . Obsidian.

[turns and heads for the far door]

Re: THE LEFT WING - ROOM 1

[medpacksapunch]

[gives the clocks one last look and follows]

Mmm. He was the other problem with just striking back at Vincent...
