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.))

[tearing up]

I. . . I think if he does come down. . . he should still be restrained. . .

[crouching next to her, leaning an arm on her knees]

I don't disagree.

Re: EXPLORE

[machiavellianiue]

[. . . okay yes armful of Nunnally, holding tightly, a little shaky]

Re: EXPLORE

[sightunseen]

[needed thatttt]

. . . do we have the keycard to go up. . . maybe we should ask someone else in the heart. . .

Re: EXPLORE

[machiavellianiue]

. . . Breeze and Sakura were going to get them. If you and Euphy and Gil work on getting Want down, I'll be right back.

[kisses her forehead]

Re: EXPLORE

. . . I love you, Nunnally.

[going to. get that.]

Re: EXPLORE

[sightunseen]

[addresses Want, when he's gone]

Want. We're going to get you down so that you can touch us. However. . . if you fight with Hope, you will lose the things you want, unavoidably. We're going to prevent that from happening. . . do you understand. . .?

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

"Yes... I understand... I don't want to lose anything..."

Re: EXPLORE

[sightunseen]

I don't want you to, either. . . all right.

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

"All right..."

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

[With Hope, Gil, Euphy, and Nunnally working together, getting Want down isn't too hard. Hope settles Want into the chair, then perches on the arm]

Re: EXPLORE

[sightunseen]

[tugs on Hope's arm, trying to draw him down to whisper in his ear]

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

Hope leans down to listen. "Hmm??"

Re: EXPLORE

[sightunseen]

You should. . . nail him up again, while we're gone. To the chair. . . it's his, after all. . .

And make a new one for yourself.

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

"Yes! Yes, that's a great idea. Good thinking Nunnally. Look what we can achieve when we work together!"

Re: EXPLORE

[sightunseen]

Don't break him any more. . . you need him, and he needs you . . . maybe there'll be a better way sometime. . .

Re: EXPLORE

[dramatispersonae]

"We always have to look for a better way, it's true."
