Solstice Heart

[dramatispersonae]

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.]

TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[When the darkness fades, you find yourself seated on a couch in a somewhat shabby looking detective agency. The “Mouri Detective Agency,” judging by the words painted on the windows behind the desk. It's oddly foggy outside. Solstice, as a teenager and dressed in a Japanese high school uniform, stands near the desk with his hands on his hips.]

Honestly, you guys just don’t know when to quit.

[WHAT THE HELL]

[blinking, wide-eyed in surprise, at Solstice in return, his hand still resting on his materia. He's tense and looks like he's about to jump to kick someone in the face or something]

[. . . but he also recognizes the fact that the anxiety from earlier is gone]

What-- what the hell?! I had it! I was doing just fine!

Re: TRUE HEART

[bonks on the head. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG HE'S WANTED TO DO THAT]

Shut up! This is my heart, remember? You've already messed it up enough without getting yourself shot in the face!

Re: TRUE HEART

[justkittin]

[probably for a long time. scowling as he rubs his head DX]

I wasn't gonna get myself shot in the face!

[flinching back at the "you've already messed it up enough," though. they really did fuck up :(]

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

Like hell you weren't! You should have just stayed in the house, at least out there you wouldn't get hurt!

[huffpuff, crossing his arms]

Stubborn idiot.

Re: TRUE HEART

[justkittin]

You act like I've never stared down a gun before, stupid.

[hops off of the couch]







[walks over and kicks him in the shin]

[littleredwitch]

[Holding red energy in her hand, ready for barrier and follow up FIRE, but]

[Oh.]

[Well.]

[Huffs and pulling the energy back in.]

Like we'd ever get through to you if we quit.

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

You in particular never know when to quit. But what's done is done, and I sincerely hope this never ever happens again.

Re: TRUE HEART

[littleredwitch]

If there's someone worth fighting for, I'm going to fight for them. You should blame Kaito if you have a problem with that.

[Sitting back.]

Isolating yourself from people hasn't been helping, surely you can see that.

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

That doesn't mean you should barge into a manifestation of my soul and start breaking things.

Re: TRUE HEART

[littleredwitch]

Hey, I have not broken a single thing. Whatever happened in that room was going on way before I arrived.

...and my magic can't kill things. A severely injured Gin seemed the better alternative than letting your heart kill me.

I try not to break things, especially if they have faces.

[I suppose that's what I get for going easy on him and not just ramming him with sword or throwing it at him with its lock-on capabilities.

But yes, um. I might have pushed myself way too much with my sword now. Just going to unsummon it and it on the floor for now.]

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

[sigh. Lifts her up to lay her on one of the couches.]

Idiot. What did you even come in here for?

Re: TRUE HEART

[mirroredvalue]

Help get things in order? Stop you from doing stupid stuff like destroying parts of yourself you don't like? Disarm people trying to kill people?

[Yes, that last one might be a bit...literal, but still.]

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

You didn't need to go to those lengths, you could have just stayed in the house.

Re: TRUE HEART

[mirroredvalue]

[And do what? Read? I mean...]

Isn't it normal to go to those lengths, though? When a friend's in trouble, that's just what people do, isn't it?

Re: TRUE HEART

[idkmybffnirvash]

[hands on your hips (what are you a teenage girl, shinichi??); glancing around for the other Solstice]

I was supposed to quit?

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

[it's very manly hands on hips okay. also tiny bloody sol is peeking out from behind the other side of the desk]

I didn't want anyone coming in here, but I didn't exactly get a say in the matter.

Re: TRUE HEART

[idkmybffnirvash]

[nodding to him, okay good]

I can leave.

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

It's too late to say that now, you've already gone and messed things up.

Re: TRUE HEART

[idkmybffnirvash]

I was trying to find you.

Re: TRUE HEART

[stigmateyes]

... I don't even know what's going on anymore...

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

Don't worry, I'm booting you guys back out of here as soon as I can.

[he may or may not notice a tiny Solstice peeking out from behind the other side of the desk with. . . a lot of blood on him. . .]

Re: TRUE HEART

[stigmateyes]

There's a greeting for you. Do you even know what I had to go through to get here? Look at me! And what happened to him?

Re: TRUE HEART

[silverbulletkun]

You didn't have to go through anything. No one forced you to take that poison. Jeez, you'd think that would be enough of a deterrent.

[glances at tiny sol, who disappears behind the desk]

The others "rescued" him from a room that, basically, got destroyed in the process. So now I have to find somewhere else to put him.
