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.))

TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

W-what happened?!

[whether this is addressed to Hope or Want is uncertain, but I guess Hope is the only one who can answer, huh]

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"Oh!" Hope smiles at her. "Hello again. Hello. Isn't this nice?"


Want murmurs something; it sounds like it can speak, but tinnily.

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[sightunseen]

Ah—

[wheeling under Want, looking up]

Why are you—

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"Hope...wanted... to stop... to stop what I was doing..."

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[sightunseen]

[OH GOD

I BROUGHT HIM UP HERE]

What were you doing?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"Fighting... with Fear... always."

[W... What...]

W...hat is your name?

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

The one on the chair leans forward. "I'm Hope! I'm hope. It's so nice to meet you, I'm Hope."


The one nailed to the gear whispers tinnily, "I'm Want."

Re: EXPLORE

[euphanasia]

... Want... What happened?

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

"Hope..."

Re: EXPLORE

[euphanasia]

[glancing at Hope]

Hope... what happened...?

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

"Oh, it was a problem. I'm sorry about it. But he needs to have a little less control. See, he and Fear were always locked in a struggle together. It was killing me. But he wouldn't stop? He just wouldn't stop. And there's always a way out, I thought!"

. . . Hope and Want?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"Yes! That's us!" Hope leans forward excitedly. "Oh, that's wonderful. Yes."

"Yes," Want breathes.

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

"It's so nice to see you. I'm so happy you're here. Inside my heart! That's wonderful. Yes, that's great."

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[machiavellianiue]

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

"Yes. Yes, yes. Yes. Very, yes."

What happened-- who did that to you?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"Hope... did. To...stop me."

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[likeawritingdesk]

Wh--what? Stop you from what?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"Fighting... always fighting Fear..."

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[likeawritingdesk]

He did that to stop you?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"He ...stopped my hands from reaching... and my voice from crying out... to speak and reach in my place."
