Early heart run.

[restorefromsave]

As you step through the door a siren goes off, the sound echoing in your ears for several minutes as the world goes completely black and empty.

You’re not falling but you’re not really standing on anything either, and all that you can percieve is the sirens still blaring, loud loud loud in your ears--

There’s an explosion so huge you don’t see or hear it so much as feel it through to your very bones. You feel an impact, strange and unsettling, and you think you might be dead? Because you can’t feel your body anymore.

Slowly the sound begins to fade and light and feeling returns, allowing you to see where you are. You’re also alive, good for you.

You end up here at the end. Unless you're Yuki, who ends up here.

N... no. No, even if I shouldn't have burned the table, that whole scene is really fucked up. It's not healthy, for you or Kazuki.

[sighs]

Besides, it's on fire and even if I put the fire out it's still gonna be burnt. Do you know how I get to one of those command things?

"I see nothing wrong with it."

He shrugs and waves a hand. The menu from Heliodor opens.

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Thanks.

[types "bucket of water"]

Are you sure you're not hurt? You're bleeding...

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"I am unharmed."

A bucket of water materializes!

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Is it because of Mira, then? She did something to you, I know...

[takes the bucket and goes to douse the fire]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"Love has been corrupted."

The fire goes out with more smoke. It's a bit of a soggy mess now. And that noise is awful :(

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[ughhhhh]

Love, huh... well, the rest of the place seems okay, except this closet. That damn noise is driving me crazy.

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

He shrugs. "It's an error warning."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

No shit. Dammit... would it be okay if I tore this place up and then fixed it? 'Cause I think this is the corruption.

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"This has always been here."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Well, what else could the corruption be?

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

He shrugs. "The wall has not always been a display. But the rest has always been here."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Okay, well... let's deal with that first.

[heading into the closet to touch the wall with the video display]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

The wall is solid but the display is holographic. Touching it however means you're living the scenes it's playing, viscerally.

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[swears and draws his hand away quickly]

Where the hell is it projecting from?

[looking around for a projector]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

No projector. The walls are just covered in Kazuki pictures....

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Hmmm...

[goes back to the command prompt and types 'white bucket of paint']

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

One appears!

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[oh also "paintbrush" if that is allowed. and taking those into the closet to start painting over the wall]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

Which wall are you painting...

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[the one with the moving picture displays]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

It's difficult since you feel the scenes as you paint, but eventually the pictures on that wall are painted over white. The sound is more muted but the display is still going.

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[sighs deeply and goes back out to type up "cleaning supplies" so he can fix the mess with the altar while he waits for the paint to dry]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

You get everything you ask for!

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[gonna start cleaning up the mess of the altar he made as best he can. WORKING V. HARD '-'b!!! and using the white paint to cover up any black spots from the fire]
