Naoto's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself falling through a black abyss, the air cold around you, although not bitingly so. Just as your eyes begin to adjust to the darkness on every side, you're dropped through a chute and tossed out into a brightly-lit area...

You can.

Re: Tools

Try Kunzite. One of her friends used to be on that team.

Re: Tools

[unionoftheheart]

Okay, let's see...

[Kunzite!]

It shows a looping scene of Kira, smiling slyly—followed by a screen that simply says TO BE CONTINUED.

“--now I kind of want to see their face when you do. It must be amazing.”

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

I wonder what she's talking about...

Re: Tools

[unionoftheheart]

I wonder...maybe she and Sleuth are planning a nice surprise?

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

Oh, that sounds fun. Ummm, let's try Heliodor next since there's two people from that team here.

Re: Tools

[unionoftheheart]

Sure!

[Heliodor!]

Re: Tools

It shows a looping scene of Mia looking flustered but determined, and Jason looking smug, mid-sentence.

“--that's what a defender is supposed to be!”

“--requires logic. So, it’s cute.”

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

Oh, one of them is the man who's in here with us.

I don't think Sleuth likes being called cute...

Re: Tools

[unionoftheheart]

[consideringgg]

It looks like there are buttons to make it louder or softer? We could make it softer, if she doesn't like that...

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

Mm! Let's try that!

[turning this channel down a few notches]

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

The sound grows quieter.

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

Um, I'm not sure what other teams Sleuth is close to...

Re: Tools

[unionoftheheart]

...me neither. I...don't actually know her very well...

Did you see the doll where we started?

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

Mm! It was missing parts. Maybe we should try the paths.

Re: Tools

[unionoftheheart]

Yeah...I'd like to find her heart.

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

There was a street. It reminded me of the city. I'd like to try looking there.

Re: Tools

[unionoftheheart]

[nods]

Sounds like as good a plan as any.

[to the streeeet!]

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

[YAY STREET!

I have theme music for this!]

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

The street leads you to a park, with several tall trees and a small pink pavilion nearby. It’s bright and sunny here, though not overbearingly so. There are a couple of people at the picnic table, one sitting down and one leaning over their shoulder. Both of them appear to be young men; one has short, light grey hair in a bowlcut, dressed in a school uniform. The other is dressed similarly, except he probably seems a tad more familiar. They’re both looking through what look to be a set of cards.

The one standing looks up. “Oh hey, it’s you guys.”

The one sitting glances up as well. “Hi. You want one?”

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

Oh, are you playing a game?

Re: Tools

[unionoftheheart]

...Bones? Hi!

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

Bones smiles and lifts a hand. "Yo. Was wondering if anyone was gonna show up."

The boy sitting at the table smiles at Kitsunebi. "It's a game we've been playing for a while."
