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. ))

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?]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

[ You most certainly can. The man laughs all friendly like. ]

"You like them?"

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

Of course. They seem to be quite friendly.

[ALL THE PETTINGS FOR PIGS.]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

"They're very friendly and adorable, yes."

[ ALL THE AFFECTION. ]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

Are they yours?

[is it possible to kidnap cute things from hearts?]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

"They're mine. Though they change from time to time, but that's life."

[ He shrugs. ]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

They change? How so?

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

[ He waves his hand. ]

"Sometimes new rappigs show up while some disappear. The fountains change from time to time too."

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

Everything in this room changes...

[stops petting the rappigs and goes to investigate the fountains] You have no control over these changes?

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

"Nope!"

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

[...sticking my hand in the fountain then.]

What is the purpose of this place?

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

[ You get the sensation of amusement and familiarity in the silver fountain basin. ]

"It's a sort of record."

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

A record? Of what, exactly?

[...Can I reach the bottom?]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

"Relationships, really."

[ Yes you can, ]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

Is that so?

[and in fourteen colors...I'm going to go stick my hand in the Sapphire blue fountain.]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

[ You get amusement, minor wariness, a sense of camaraderie, and towards one spout the urge for friendly equal violence. ]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

[...Friendly equal violence...?]

[TURNING THAT ONE OFF]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

[ NOPE YOU CAN'T but you do get A Certain Feel when you touch the spout. ]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

...Mau?

[if this was a real heart game I'd SO BE CONFRONTING YOU ABOUT THIS.]

[pulling hand back...then touching the mild wariness.]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

[ That spout spraying out the water is half flowing. ]

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

...As I thought.

[turning to the blond man;] What can you tell me about these fountains?

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

"It depends on what it is you want to know about them."

Re: Hall of Fountains

[glorious]

[pointing to the friendly violence spout]

Why is this feeling connected to my teammate?

Re: Hall of Fountains

[forthefonofit]

"Oh, that? Hm, well it'd be better to ask Nephry over at the library. She could probably give you the right reference for it. Seems like they got into a friendly spar and that guy said he wanted another in the future."
