Mikado's heart

[dramatispersonae]

[Upon entering the heart your character will find a cell phone upon their person, either in a pocket or in their hand. It has texting but all other features seem to be locked.]

[brotagonist]

Yes, that's why we keep asking you weird questions.

Be right back.

[going to touch the mirror while he has no reflection 8|a]

[This happened. And you feel almost like a ghost. Instead of having color yourself, you're as black and white as the rest of the world.]

[To everyone else, Lloyd just disappears.]

Re: Heart?

[ ... looks between the screen. Then where Lloyd used to be. SCREEN. LLOYD!!?! ]

Re: Heart?

[dramatispersonae]

[There's still a Lloyd avatar on the screen but not in the room with you not in the mirror.]

Re: Heart?

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ Watching the avatar. ]

[ ... clicking on the avatar!? ]

I... don't get your heart. At all.

Re: Heart?

[shednotearsformagic]

[Well, that...could be really good, or really bad.]

[WATCHING.]

Re: Heart?

[dramatispersonae]

[The Lloyd avatar you just clicked on opens a game menu screen.... But there's no title, just Start.]

Re: Heart?

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ Presses start! ]

Re: Heart?

[shednotearsformagic]

[Well, let's see how good a decision that was.]

Re: Heart?

[dramatispersonae]

[It seems to start up........ And then a yellow error screen flashes and the game crashes. The avatar remains.]

Re: Heart?

[virtuallyroyalty]

... I'm a gamer, not a programmer! I don't know how to deal with an error!

[Shark doesn't even ask what you guys are doing any more his face is buried in his hands.]

Re: Heart?

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ Runs a hand through his hair... then clicks and runs some sort of anti-virus/recovery program?? ]

[ And then... eyes the reflection... before trying the same thing Lloyd did, so he gets his own avatar on the screen. Though not touching the mirror at all, because for all he knows the error happened because Lloyd is now in the mirror! Instead, he clicks himself so he can start his own game. ]

It'd be weird to play around with someone else's life anyway...

Re: Heart?

[dramatispersonae]

[You start it up! and the screen loads. It shows a little 64-bit representation of the room you're in and you at a computer surrounded by people...]

[You're hit with strong, overpowering vertigo. The people around you will notice you glitching like a graphics error, pixels going off place and static-ing. All you know is you feel dizzy and then the world goes black. To everyone else Kazuki passes out, still staticing. The game closes.]

Does anyone here know how to actually fix a computer problem that isn't...restart?

[HOW DID YOU EVEN?]

Re: Heart?

[hunting]

[That. That's not good...]

Re: Heart?

[dramatispersonae]

[Probably not, no.]

Re: Heart?

[hunting]

... Shark-san, Lloyd just vanished.

Re: Heart?

[dramatispersonae]

....Guys what is happening I don't...

[WHAT IS MY HEART GOD.]

Re: Heart?

[shednotearsformagic]

Can you call him?

Re: Heart?

[dramatispersonae]

..............

I texted him but I got someone else....

Re: Heart?

[shednotearsformagic]

You did? Who?

Re: Heart?

[dramatispersonae]

Ah that's right he... Gave his phone to someone else...

Re: Heart?

[Sighs, rubbing at her temples.] So, no communication unless someone follows.
