dramatispersonae | ROLO'S HEART

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.))

Pretty heavy.

[picking up the switchblade next]

Euphy. Be careful.

[It's a switchblade! Seems pretty... harmless? For a knife. Which is to say it doesn't leap out and impale your hand or anything.]

Lelouch...

This doesn't fit with the other items here.

[. . . reaches to take it from her, if she'll let him]

[well, sure, you can have the switch blade. :')]

Lelouch...?

. . .

[glancing up at Want]

What is this?

"...a knife... is used for...?"

I know what it's used for!

... Why do you have it?

[to Want]

"Because... I want everything..."

[Rolo...]

Wanting everything...

. . . what happens if I take this away, Rolo?

"What happens, I wonder..."

... Wanting everything is impossible.

"It's possible... to want everything.

Please don't take anything away from me. Please."

... I want to help you. But there are things Rolo does not want.

Choosing to want something... or someone...

[her hand rests closer to the clocks]

Means Rolo must not want something else.
