hearts endgame

[idolpro]

Who: ♥
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 208

[ 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.

pep!pep!, Taisho Roman Revolution, BAD END=DEAD END, WILD CITY, and avante en garde 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.

You may bring home any souvenirs from hearts within reason! AKA things that can be received through fanmail, provided they no longer have any more magical or special ability. ]

[going to kneel down by him, then.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Doesn't move]

Hello, Maiden.

[forgottenmercy]

Do you, ah, need any painkillers?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What do you have for a pounding headache?

[forgottenmercy]

I can, ah, either numb your head completely, or... [reaches into his frilly white bag, pulls out a small bottle.] Or I, ah, have this...? [it is labeled 'ibuprofen']

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Oh my god. Maiden is a godsend.]

You're my new favorite.

[forgottenmercy]

Which would you, ah, like?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Points to the ibuprofen]

My head already feels numb.

[forgottenmercy]

[will even open it for him as he offers him the bottle, then]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Gonna take it dry without water because it's just been THAT KIND OF DAY]

[forgottenmercy]

I hope that it, ah, helps.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And after it's been swallowed]

You also get the guided tour?

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, did, yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just stares at Persephone.

Looking for the slightest bit of emotion or telltale sign to give his thoughts away.




This probably isn't going to work. And probably is going to devolve into a staring contest.]

[forgottenmercy]

[yep. staring contest it is, then.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Surely, he has to blink sometime.





S U R E L Y.]

[forgottenmercy]

[someday.

possibly. surely.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Someday.





C'mon, his eyes are going to dry out]

[forgottenmercy]

[will give it a little longer before he demurely lowers his eyes. just long enough that it's uncomfortable.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wait.

Wait wait wait. What happened here?

Did he just win?






MAIDEN!]

[forgottenmercy]

[out of the goodness of his heart, because he just ran around in your soul, he is letting you win-]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Whoooooaaaaaaa]






That bad, huh?

[forgottenmercy]

Not, ah, at all.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No?

Then this better not be anything like pity.

[forgottenmercy]

Not pity.

I saw you when you were vulnerable. An equivalent exchange.
