Solstice Heart

Entering into the heart, you feel a strong sense of resistance pushing you away. It’s easy enough to overcome if you push back, but it soon reverses and you’re pulled into an unfamiliar mansion.

[IRC: #truthless, heart starts at 4pm EST!]

edit: I'm a dumb and forgot to add in the LIBRARY segment: [On the left is another doorway to a staircase leading down.]

[trying to keep calm, poker facing is a lot harder when each and ever crack sends a chill down his spine]

That key he gave you-- it's the key to that door. He wants us to find the rest of him. If we stay here, we'll die. If we die, he'll never forgive himself.

I'm coming back.

[if there is a solstice-mess below, we will have words]

[. . . well, there. probably will be. at least, that is what Kit has accepted]

. . . all right.

[nods at her, then quickly (and gingerly) makes his way back towards the door]

[following along, glancing back at Solstice :(]

[...Well. I should. Start up on a backup plan, then. Summoning up my sword, except uh. This may not have been the best idea, since summoning it lets out a loud noise somewhere between a scream and twisting metal. Still, putting it on the ground and jumping on top of it to try and use it like a hoverboard out of Back to the Future to rescue people.]

[what are you doing, you're already at the entrance you're gOING THE WRONG WAY]

Star, get out!

Not 'till everyone makes it out! Star can finally use her Sword to help out a bit, so she'll do it!

[. . . well Star has a hover sword, if she can save Sol without falling onto the spikes below he won't stop her. he would've kept stubbornly trying if he was big sized and knew he could pick those locks faster than the glass could break, but as it stands. . . in this body, he wouldn't have been able to]

Be careful! Don't fall!

[Can she lug him out with all those weights chained to him, though. . .]

[umm, still going to be heading off the glass, because that could help the situation, go flying heroine!!]

[THAT'S WHAT HE'S WAITING TO FIND OUT]

[. . . he's also getting off the glass though, as to not exacerbate the cracking more than he already has]

[OH MY GOD, I don't know what is happening.]

[Hands on the floor by the entrance.] I can give you five seconds when it shatters, get him out.

[Hoverboarding over, just the same. Let's not make this more dangerous than it needs to be.]

break the chains with Star's sword if there's time, Solstice! We can still get you out!

[Wow maybe you'll actually manage to save him and-]

I said get out, hurry!

[no he's not being helpful at all I'm sorry]

[his own gaze snaps over to Kira when she speaks]

Kira. . .

[resignation, anxiety and fear are slooowly turning to hope and relief. OKAY MAYBE THEY CAN DO THIS AFTER ALL]

Solstice, I got a time limit on these shields, I WILL RUN OUT THERE IF YOU AREN'T HELPFUL IN YOUR OWN ESCAPE!

Star said she's not leaving unless we get everyone out! That means you too! Now break those chains on the sword so we might be able to not die!

[mom voice:] Solstice!

[calling out after Luna]

You think dying will cleanse you of the guilt you have for the people you couldn't save? It won't! Trust me!

[oh my god you guys]

I can't believe I'm letting you do this-

[fine he's breaking his chains on that sword]

[except the floor shudders and shatters just before he can break the last one]

[Grabbing on to you then, Solstice.]

You know how to ride a skateboard, right? It's the same for this. Except Star's moving it.

[DAMN IT]

Kira--!

[WE NEED YOUR SHIELD]

[YEP! As soon as the glass breaks, SHIELD IS UP ACROSS THE FLOOR.] Hurry! [You got a few seconds you two.]

[The last weight was around his ankle, so that would've been bad if not for sudden shield. He uses that brief time to cut the last chain and climb on. sword, skateboard, same difference]

Go!

[Exactly! Let's fly this thing back to the safe space, then.]
