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.

"I see. What will you do?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

I don't know. I want to help, I want to get rid of the corruption, but... if he doesn't want me here, then...

"You would let hat stop you?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[clenches his fist, looking down]

... what if I just screw up again? What if I make things even worse?

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"So you won't do anything because you might screw up?"

Gara scoffs.

[grits his teeth]

It's Sion's heart on the line! It's your well-being! I care about him, I care about you, I care about all of this! That's why I'm hesitating, because I know I'm an idiot who runs into things without thinking and makes a mess, and for the love of everything I don't want to make a mess of him!

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"Yeah whatever say what you want."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Do you even care about this heart at all??

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"Do you?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Obviously! Didn't I just say that?

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"Sounded like whining, to me."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

You little shit, are you trying to goad me into doing something stupid and reckless?

[because it's working]

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"No I just think moaning about failure is pointless."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Fine, what would you do in my place?

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

"How should I know? I'm just the part of the heart that symbolizes Gara."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

So, stubborn assholeishness?

Re: Shrine

[dramatispersonae]

He flips you off. :E

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

[sticks his tongue out :P

... but, looks down at the floor for a few moments, thinking]

Maybe I will keep looking.

Re: Shrine

[restorefromsave]

"Yeah, where to now?"

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Somewhere else. The library, maybe. Doesn't seem like a place I could screw anything up.

Re: Shrine

[restorefromsave]

"This is a heart idiot, you can screw anything up. But it's not like memories matter I guess."

Re: Shrine

[familyjewels]

Memories do matter. Anyway, do you know anything about it?
