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.

The door doesn't answer you. Hail is standing in Heliodor's doorway.

"What is wrong?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[blinks and glances over at]

Huh? Oh, Hail... I, uh... um... well, I got... kicked out of one of the rooms upstairs.

[glances down ._.]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"Why?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

I... screwed something up. I tried to fix something that was messed up, but I did something wrong, or--or I said something wrong, and Sion kicked me out. So now I'm... back here.

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

She thinks about this.

"I see. Perhaps you should come inside and sit down."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Is it okay? I don't know if what I did in Heliodor is any better, really...

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"Why would you think that?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[wipes his eye with the heel of his palm]

'Cause I thought I was okay in Love too, but I wasn't... so I guess I don't know anything.

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"I see. You are feeling unwell. Perhaps you should lay down and I will make you some medicine."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Medicine? I'm not sick, really...

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"But you do not feel well. Would you like a brownie?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

... is it like one of Clue's special brownies?

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"Yes."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[sighs]

No thanks... but I appreciate the offer. I just wish I knew what to do now.

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"I do not know. Perhaps we can discuss it."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

... okay.

[goes back into Heliodor with Hail]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

Into Heliodor! The place doesn't have all those vines of course, and the little sun is shining on everything.

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[lifts his hand in greeting at Gara, sitting down wherever there's an open seat]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

Gara huffs and kicks his legs. There are plenty of comfortable la-z-boy chairs to sit in! Hail also sits.

"What is the problem."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[blunt]

I fucked up.

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"That is unspecific."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

No shit. I found something in another room that I'm pretty sure was corrupted, and I tried to fix it, but I couldn't, and either I messed something up or said something wrong, and I got kicked out.

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"I see. What do you think it was?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

... I don't know. Sion came in--the Bishop part of him--and I talked to him...

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

She begins writing notes! It is Hail after all.

"Yes?"
