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.))

The automaton tosses it into the middle of a patch of rickety floor surrounded by crashing gears.

OKAY GO.

[medpacksapunch]

[...you're a jerk.

NINJAING IN THAT DIRECTION]

[stays in the doorway, but DRAWS HER SWORD :T]

Quick Tsunami!

[uroboric]

[snapping her spear into segments and aiming to tangle the chain around Sakura]

[medpacksapunch]

Tch--

[half kicks off the floor so she can spin mid-air, kunai out so she can block/intercept the chain rather than be caught up in it-- that does distract her from moving towards the key, however]

[uroboric]

Heeeeh? You're way better than Sayaka!

[flicking the chain in response so the spear head slashes at the keycard

let's see if it can be cut :|a]

[medpacksapunch]

[Tosses her other kunai to try and knock the spearhead off-course]

What are you doing!

[sharksong]

Forget the card and grab her!

[dramatispersonae]

[THE CARD GETS SLICED IN TWO!

OH NO!]

[medpacksapunch]

[. . .]

[uroboric]

If so many people want it so badly, now it can be shared. Isn't that lucky?

[retracting the spear and walking right past the halved card, heading for the door :'D]

[dramatispersonae]

[Where to!]

[medpacksapunch]

[scoops up the halved pieces and dashes after her]

Ugh you are infuriating, you can't just break things--!

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[...and then the keycard was cut and it turned into a battle I have no investment in. turning to the automaton]

Is there another one? Or can we fix it?

[dramatispersonae]

"You can fix it, I guess. I wasn't expecting that." He snorts.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

They're all idiots. I have duct tape; if I use that, will it still work?

[dramatispersonae]

"Sure. Just don't cover the part that needs to swipe or it won't fit.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

That should be doable. Assuming they ever calm down.

[dramatispersonae]

He snorts and shifts irritably. "Arguing in my room. How petty."

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Well, they seem to be a bit aggravated.

[dramatispersonae]

"They should get out."

[observing yay something's interesting is happening here, that makes up for anxiety]
