Who: ♥
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 93 (forward dated)

[ You wake up, still in the whole-room bed. The screen has turned off, and the elevators are open at both the lobby and the game room, for people to come up and visit and freely leave.

WILD CITY, sensitIV, future is now, Taisho Roman Revolution, pep!pep!, and AlcheME! will find 800+ more points in their pocket, along with whatever injuries they might have sustained in the hearts to be gone like it was just a dream.

Everyone else who still has injuries by the end of their run will find their injuries technically completely healed, but with throbbing pain at their injury sites like the wounds are still open; those who need revival will find their heart hurts like it's been stabbed through. Still, they're only phantom pains: they'll clear up within the next day or so.

Heart game runners, if your character's heart displays their unit traits, you may count that towards your point total. ]

I bet you have a splitting headache after all that.

[uuuuuuuugh. lifts up a hand to flip Intensity off because IN FACT YES. HAS A TERRIBLE HEADACHE.]

[Just laughs. At Joker's expense]

I see you're doing fine.

And I see the adventure into my psyche did nothing traumatizing to you.

[half-joking, but also why this]

Before you ask: I have no idea what all's happened.

Like I said before. You can't hurt me.

Looks like everyone else was not so fortunate though. But I'm sure they'll fill you in.

[disgruntled noise]

Can't even catch a break when it's my own heart getting infiltrated. Nope. Gotta take some heat on something or another.

[s-sighs...]

Don't start that so soon. I wasn't finished.

The key to solving the puzzle was in one of your earliest broadcasted memories. The one with the guillotines.

You might want to replay that for those interested.

... ah. That makes sense.

Also stop drinking so much coffee. It's fucking with your sleep schedule.

Like you're one to talk about fucked sleep schedules.

And what is that supposed to mean?

I've seen your office. You're a workaholic.

That's a world of fucking difference from being too scared to go to sleep.

Some people become workaholics because they're avoiding dealing with other things.

[runs hand through his hair before shrugging a bit]

It's not really the coffee that's the problem, but I'll keep working at it.

And some people just like working.

What's the significance of 8:13? Seems a little early for bedtime.

... I don't think there is a significance to it?

[spoilers: 813's the title of an Arsene Lupin book where he's framed for a crime he didn't commit, for once.]

That's the time your internal clock was stuck at. Quite literally.

... yeah, no clue.

Probably a metaphor of something I don't consciously remember.

Well that was where your Strength aspect was it. It was one of the three that got tossed to the blade.

... huh.

Weird.

It'd probably make more sense if I experience the whole picture but as it is... nope.

The whole picture is the landscape of your inner self is a prison sorted by tarot cards. And not even a full deck.

... you totally made that joke, didn't you.

Yes. Though I will admit, it's much more satisfying to say it to your face than to the face of just a part of you.

... I really want to find fault with this but actually I'm more surprised you never made card jokes before this.

Oh fuck off. It's not like I'm that obsessed with them.

[Ha ha haaaaaaa]
