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.))

"This area is Want's."

Where is yours . . .?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

"I don't have a place."

He ducks his head.

"But that's okay! When you don't have a place, you just have to make one!"

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[machiavellianiue]

. . . perhaps that's true.

"And isn't this the best place for Hope? I'm really grateful that I was brought here!"

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[machiavellianiue]

Who brought you here?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

Nunnally did! She helped find me a place.

"I'd been with Fear! He was trying to kill me. They had to pull him off me so I could live. I'm so grateful. This is a good place to be. Here, I can stop what's been going on and make things better. I made a new floor, even! New things were born! It's so wonderful. I'm happy. I'm happy. It'll only get better from here."

I do think . . . things can be better. But do you need to—restrain what you want, that much?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"Want always gives power to Fear though... do you think it's okay to let him down...?"

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[machiavellianiue]

. . .

The more you want the more you're afraid of having it—? Or losing it?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"Losing it..."

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[machiavellianiue]

So hope has to be stronger. To trust that things will be fine.

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"That's what I'm doing! It's why I pinned him up. He's the one with that problem, not me."

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[machiavellianiue]

Mm. But you're still afraid of him being too loud, aren't you?

Re: TALK TO AN AUTOMATON

[dramatispersonae]

"I'm not afraid, it's just hard to work with him always pushing my hands down or covering my mouth..."

Euphy is talking Hope into letting Want down, though.
