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.))

I think the water should melt this soon...

Good. . . I'm glad. . .

[WE WOULD COME CRY ON YOU EXCEPT I THINK LELOUCH AND I ARE BOTH TOO OVERCOME TO MAKE IT

EXERCISE THAT AUTONOMY, ROLO!

still making an attempt to communicate with him at least, possibly so she doesn't have to focus on 80% of these feelings]

R-r-really happy. . .!

I'm... really glad. I love you, Nunnally.

[stretching like he's stiff, feeling out what his body can do]

[okay

DEVOTES SELF MORE TO BREAKDOWN. . .]

[WORKING ON GETTING OUT WHILE THAT HAPPENS]

[you're the most stable of all of us and that's terrible.]

[I'm the true heart, of course I'm the most stable]

[gets himself free the rest of the way with Yayoi and Gil's help and, wearing Gil's jacket, stumbles over to them, shaky a bit like bambi there]

[tugging you down into our pile, yes, this pile needs at least one person who isn't crying in it.]

[yes holding you both okok]

[ALL THE HOLDING FOR ROLOS

...starts getting control of herself a lot faster than Lelouch, probably, someone has a lot of practice slapping control on. s-smiles at him]
