Tsukihiko's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You enter the heart and immediately find yourself drowning. The salt of the water stings your eyes and your throat. You're about 20 feet underwater, legs tangled in seaweed, and of course, you can't breathe like that. Even if you can hold your breath, here come the snakes -- winding around you, tangling, sliding up your body and pressing their faces against your mouth, your nose... eventually they force their way in and slide down your throat. You can feel them wiggling all the way down, coiling in your belly...

Abruptly, you can breathe underwater.

The seaweed draws you down, down, to a new area...

The water begins circulating again, and the blood stain starts to slowly clear.

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[mysong]

[oh, that works. going back up.]

It worked!

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[dramatispersonae]

"It worked! I wonder if that will help..."

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[mysong]

Well it's clean, so that has to be better.

[spits out a boost and hands it to her]

"What's this for?"

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[mysong]

You're nice, so you can have it.

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

"Okaaay..."

It sinks into her, which she watches in fascination.

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[mysong]

[watches that as well]

[...then goes take a look at rose petals.]

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[dramatispersonae]

They look as if someone's just scattered them around haphazardly.

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[mysong]

[picks up a bunch of them and throws them into the air-- WHOOSH!]

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[dramatispersonae]

You are showered in rose petals and a feeling of manly vitality.

Re: THE LEFT DOOR - the Rooftop Swimming Pool

[mysong]

[...huh. that was a feeling.]

[I guess I'll go back down to the pool and uh, head over to the trapdoor I missed before.]
