1 YR ANNIVERSARY PRIVATE HEARTGAME

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ You suddenly find yourself standing in the absolute thick of an intense snowstorm. The wind whips around and over you, pummeling flurries into you. The cold sinks down deep into your bones with what feels like an unshakable grip. The furthest you can see with any decent clarity is three feet around you, beyond which everything becomes shadow blobs of themselves. ]

[ Yet strangely there's a light in the distance. It doesn't look particularly welcoming, but it's certainly different. Better get moving before the snow starts building up around you. ]


(( IF YOU WANT TO JOIN let me know, but there's no time limit on this, take your time, do whatever you want, no changes will occur. Also the heartgame is only current up to the original run of the heartgame. ))

*I HATE COLD

I AM GOING TO THE LIGHT*

Re: Snowstorm

[bondingspirits]

[Suddenly clinging to his arms, WHAT IS THIS.]

[Might as well go towards the light.]

Re: Snowstorm

[glorious]

[IT IS COLD...]

[Lets move to the light. I assume there's warmth there.]

Town Hub

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ A circular mosaic of what seem to be simple gray stones surrounds the base of a large tree. The tree itself is a mass of thick black branches and covered in nails up above, though the trunk itself is not. Out of the thorny masses are puffs of vibrant green leaves and fruits of all kinds. Lights glow from within as well, lighting the small area. Under the tree, a boy with red eyes sits with a book, glaring at you. ]

[ Stepping closer, you leave the worst of the snowstorm behind, though the area outside of the tree's light is still shrouded in snowfall. ]

Re: Town Hub

[bondingspirits]

[Sorry, I'm too busy staring back at the young boy to pay attention to anything else.]

[Because that is kind of eerie.]

[Really eerie.]

Ah...

Hi!

Little Town of Keterburg?

[forthefonofit]

[ Eventually he sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, more adult than child in that moment. The snowstorm lifts further, revealing three large buildings, two to the south and one to the north, and the beginnings of a wooden platform to the west. Mosaic stone paths mark the way to all three, the snow cleaned off of them and set to the side in piles. Though the snow still falls, it's rather quiet and nostalgic in nature yet not so cold as you would think it would be. ]

[ ♫ ]

"Fine, go do what you must."

Re: Little Town of Keterburg?

[antreegonist]

Thanks, Mage...!

*hmmm hmm. kind of enjoying this now that it's less chilly. heads for the wooden platform*

Re: Little Town of Keterburg?

[glorious]

[...Why is this child giving me those looks?]

I take it you're not fond of visitors?

Re: Little Town of Keterburg?

[antreegonist]

*sits down, not too close*

Hey again, Mage.

Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ A long, wide room greets you the instant you walk in. The floor is covered in intricately designed blue tiles of subtly different shades in a mosaic that's difficult to discern at this scale. Fountains line the walls to either side. The light from the glass lined basins reflects color back up onto the otherwise plain gray blocks in fourteen different colors. ]

[ At the far end of the room sits a blond man seated casually yet confidently on a large yellow couch that's surrounded by piles of pillows and... pigs...? ]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

[...Can I pet the pigs?]

A Familiar Cabin

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ As you approach the building, you notice the large, whimsical sign with an incest mascot on it and the word EMERALD emblazoned underneath in fancy script hanging from the roof. The skull hanging over the doorway looks rather feline and menacing looking down at you with empty sockets. ]

[ Inside, you're greeted with 7 beds, all neatly tidied up. A bulletin board takes up the wall next to you, and a ramp is set against the far wall, leading up to what must be the second floor. But what's most obvious is how all the walls are otherwise covered in hung up Emerald uniforms. Here and there, however, are ones that don't look familiar at all. ]

Re: A Familiar Cabin

[bondingspirits]

[Oh no, what are the feelings. IS IT THAT WEIRD BGM PERHAPS]

[Lets take a look at the bulletin board...]

Re: A Familiar Cabin

[glorious]

[...waving to the Emerald here.]

Ah, hello. I don't believe we've met.

Library of Memories

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ The moment you walk in, you're struck with the feeling of knowing. Not necessarily of anything in particular, but simply the emotion of being secure in one's knowledge. As you look around, you see bookshelves upon bookshelves upon bookshelves. To the left, the books are canvas covered and distinctly green with gold numbers embossed on the spines. To the right, the books are leather bound with gold script embossed on the spines. There's a door on the far wall opposite of you, white with inset framing. ]

[ And directly in front of you is blond woman eyeing you with curiosity and patience, her paperwork set aside once she knows you've noticed her. ]

Re: Library of Memories

[glorious]

[nothing but smiles to the woman]

Good day, ma'am. I hope I'm not distracting you from your work.

Back Room

[forthefonofit]

[ Opening the door reveals a large table with a table lamp switched on. There's a pile of books and a pile of papers neatly organized and separated by a pen set down between them. A high back wooden chair is pulled out and turned as if its occupant simply turned and stood when they left. Opposite it is another chair, but pushed in. On the walls are bulletin boards with various notes and pictures pinned up. ]

Docks

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ As you walk up to the railing, you can see the figures more clearly. They all seem to be dressed in uniform, going about their business without talking to one another. A set of them stand guard at a ramp leading up to what you can now see is a large war ship, docked and in the process of being cleaned. ]

Re: Docks

[antreegonist]

*going up to one of the guards*

Hi! What's with the giant ship?

Tartarus

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ The ship, though clearly outfitted for war, doesn't seem to have any indication of leaving the port. Though the crew members -- their identities difficult to discern for no particular reason -- seem to go about the deck with purpose, it's hard to tell what that purpose is. The deck itself has an intricate design inlaid in a darker wood, but it's trampled by the crew members with little thought or acknowledgement. A large object, at least twice your height and however many lengths long, sits at the far end of the deck, covered in a single plain tarp. A set of grand double doors is to your left. ]

Re: Tartarus

[antreegonist]

--Indignation?

*wao :Oa landing and seeing if he can peer under the tarp...*

Mountain Pass Fork

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ The path suddenly evens out of its incline and the snowstorm dies away. Nothing falls from the skies up here, but the icy chill is far worse than anywhere you've been. It seems to reach to your bones and shake you with violent force. Your breath freezes the instant you exhale. ]

[ Here, the path splits into two. Left and right. ]

Re: Mountain Pass Fork

[antreegonist]

*BUT WHERE DID THE SHIP GO

HEARTS!!!*

Fomicry Lab

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ The ground is black with soot that clings wherever it is disturbed. The roof is long gone, leaving the rubble open to the cold air. Yet not a speck of snow is anywhere on what must have once been a highly sophisticated laboratory. Broken glass shards lay strewn across shattered tiles. Wooden beams burned to a crisp sit at odd angles along the structural lines. ]

[ In the center is a half destroyed, circular machine, the top of which seems to have fallen and leans haphazardly against it. ]

Re: Fomicry Lab

[antreegonist]

--whoa.

*goes to examine the machine, also keeping a weather eye out for anything interesting in the debris. RPG character instinctsss.*

Sealed Cave

[forthefonofit]

[ ♫ ]

[ You find yourself standing at the mouth of a large cave cut into the side of a mountain. But it's almost impossible to see what's inside, as there are bright chains of varying colors stretched across the opening. What little you can see is covered in darkness, but if you listen closely you may hear the sound of a feminine sigh. ]

Re: Sealed Cave

[antreegonist]

*approaches the chains.*

Hello?
