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...

She tilts her head at him, sniffing.

"I know you."

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

S-Sleuth... ?

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

"Yes, it's me. You can come in."

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

[Hesitates...]

Why... why are you a cat?

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

"I can't see very well. It's easier in a form like this, to smell and to sense."

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

Oh... why are your eyes like that?

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

"I'm not certain. I don't remember a lot of things."

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

Does it bother you? Maybe there's some way to help you remember.

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

"That's why I'm here. You help."

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

[Hesitant tail wag as he enters...]

How can I help?

"You're special."

The room looks mostly like the same cabin from Three’s realm, except there are large bubbles floating above each person’s bed. The bubbles are filled with different-colored smoke, and occasionally a flash of lightning will strike out… but it all seems contained. In the middle of the room near the floor is a trio of smaller bubbles, each one Tiger’s Eye yellow, that slowly encircle each other.

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

[Ooooh bubbles. Going to investigate that trio more.]

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

They're smaller than the ones above each bed, with the familiar faces of Lark, Valiant, and Dusk inside.

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

[Going to try to nudge those three closer to Sleuth's bed.]

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

You do so successfully.

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

[Will probably be climbing onto a random bed to paw carefully at one of those other bubbles.]

I wonder why they're so smoky...

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

Survey says: Ferris.

The bubble above Ferris’s bed is bright green, clear but somehow raining. Touching it gives you a sense of fondness and trust, but there’s some exasperation mixed in there. It seems to respond to your touch, urging you somehow.

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

What is it? What's wrong?

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

It does not say anything, but it draws slightly closer to you.

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

[Licks bubble!]

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

The bubble seems to emit a sound like a giggle.

Re: Tools

[goneastray]

[Licks again and then checks out the stormiest bubble.]

Re: Tools

[dramatispersonae]

That would be the one above Sieh's bed.
