dramatispersonae | Guy Cecil's Heart

[... 8(

stoops to pick up the top.]

A brief memory of Guy showing her the top he's made - she's amazed! He gives it to her.

[ ...IF THERE IS A MANTELPIECE I AM PUTTING THE TOP ON THE MANTELPIECE 8( ]

Is it like this for everyone who left...?

You could always check another room...?

[no i'm lining up the floorshields neatly against an undamaged wall.

is there watery ash-goop in the hearth :|a]

Yep. Recent, quite messy.

[ok because i'm carefully trying to fill in the wallholes with it '-']

I don't think that's up to code but the sentiment gets through I'm sure!

[ok. I think I am done here.

t-time to go check out my own room.]

Hunter's door opens with a bit of a push. There's a small but cushy bed here, and a sharp pair of black claw weapons. A skull is placed on a pedestal, and there is a silver shield and sword here as well, though they're propped on the wall rather than mounted - there are multiple silver swords in this room, actually. Van's old sword is also there on the wall - a silver sword is crossed with it.

Despite the apparent stark themes, it's a welcoming, warm temperature.

[w-whyyy is there a skull. goes to touch that 8|a]

REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU SUCKED THE LIFE OUT OF GUY? Well you probably have a very different memory of that event. There's Guy's perspective.

The memory also skips to you explaining to Guy that you're dead. Which has a very god damn it, angry, protective sentiment to it.

[oh god that's what that feels like. that's horrible THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING TO PEOPLE? f-freezes up for a few moments, then puts the skull down.

then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a mostly empty, elaborate metal flask of BLOOD, setting it next to the skull.]

I'm fine now. This lets me heal without hurting people anymore, so it's okay.

[GOES TO PICK UP THE CLAW WEAPONS?]

Awareness that you have one hell of a temper.

[ok i suppose that is valid and fitting. since. yes. p-puts them down.

goes to touch van's old sword '^']

You get a very strong feeling of worry, anxiety, some jealousy, some protectiveness -

Is this okay?

They're similar

Is this good or bad?

This could go very badly.

I want to trust them.
