Naoto's Heart

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...

The Hub

[personal profile] dramatispersonae 2012-09-15 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
At first glance it seems as though the area you've landed in is the interior of a clock tower, or something like it. The walls are exceedingly tall and lined with cogs and gears, apertures and wires—some big, some small. What's most noticeable is how they're all turning or shifting, some working in tandem with others, some moving independently. The ground is expansive and circular, with more gears twisting and turning underneath your feet, although it's all protected by some kind of clear plexiglass. Behind you is the chute you came in through, and in the middle of the area is what appears to be a metallic manikin… or part of one, anyway. It's missing some parts. There are four doors on the wall side opposite you, each circular in nature. Aside from the occasional creaking from the walls, everything is completely silent.

Wow, talk about creepy.

[Shaking self off and—Yelps!

What's up with the floor? Scratching at it a bit anxiously.]

[You know I don't think I actually have Tower of Gears memories, that is sad. Looking around]

It's quiet...

The vaguely-feminine manikin is being held up on a kind of pedestal. It’s missing its left leg and right arm, and it has holes that appear to be carved out of where its eye sockets would be. There’s also a heart-shaped hole in the middle of its chest. It also appears that someone has written with black marker on the manikin, labeling the areas where body parts would be normally (“brain”, “stomach”, “ankle”, “lungs”, etc.) and wrote MISSING in capital letters with arrows pointing at the missing parts.

The plexiglass seems quite sturdy.

The four doors on the far side appear to be made of marble, and are labeled “Clutter”, “Tools”, “References”, and “Management”. The door on that last one has police tape bearing the word CAUTION across it.

[Whines and yaps at the gears underneath the glass and then creeps slowly over (ears flattened) to sniff at the manikin...]

The door is labeled “References”.

The manikin is indifferent.

Not that you can read any of it, but there's markings!!

Kitsunebi... yeah. This is probably Sleuth's heart, though. Maybe this is just the entryway.
