Who: Sleepyheads
Where: Honmachi Sakura Park
When: Day 326

[ After a long, long, long night, you wake in the dead zone, having slept more deeply than you've ever slept before.

Perhaps more restfully than you've ever slept before, even—do you remember your dreams? Is it all coming back to you, now?

For certain dreamers, the flower markings have disappeared, though if you wake early enough you can catch them glowing bright before burning away painlessly. With that, it feels as though maybe a weight's been lifted off your shoulders—maybe you really needed that sleep.

For certain dreamers, you may find yourself waking up with something new—was that always in your hands? Where did you get that from? Do you remember?

And, for a certain few unlucky dreamers, you may find yourself waking with pain, wounds or scars that remind you that what happened last night was not entirely a dream.

But then, who could ever believe it was a dream anyway?

The sun shines bright; Heaven's chain shines brighter. In the distance, white clouds roll toward the city, threatening rain.

-

Please note: Characters may not fully remember their romps in other characters' hearts immediately. This is so that if you're still backthreading hearts, you can have your character not remember what happened or otherwise not be affected by the changes in the run until later.

Heart Game channels will be up until mid-February, although they may close sooner/later at runner request. If you're finished with your run and don't want any more pings, just remove the role and it'll be gone from your sidebar ✨ ]

Not sure why you guys headed out.

A soul is a difficult thing to decipher even for experts, sometimes it is not enough even to do your best.

Self-recrimination will not avail you. Failure is only such when you learn nothing. If you could not help him from within, you may still do so from without.

It seems like it's usually alternate timelines, yeah... I don't know what that means for "souls."

How do you know they're one soul of the same world? If both Raven and Vergil exist here at the same time, doesn't that kind of mean they have to be two different entities somehow?

[ He's the best dragon, after all!!!

He's taking bb brother home, then. There's no point sticking around the strange crater. Because it feels like they've all just gone through a lot. ]

Hm, well, that's good, at least.

Maybe Talon will tell you stories. You'd probably have a whole lot less questions then I do.

...I was... too rash, I think. There was... a calm, rational energy... I didn't have any of that. I only saw Nero for a second before he turned into a griffin, and...

[personal profile] temperedinpride 2021-02-01 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder on that. There's been no indication they differ in timeline. And truthfully I am not the expert on what souls may do, existing in parallel or not once split in the same world.

I could theorize. But I've no way to prove or disprove my hypothesis.

[grumbles]

I am even more helpless to do anything for him like this...
rollplayinghouse: (sa021)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2021-02-01 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess it doesn't really matter.
selfpreservationist: (he who has suffer'd you)

[personal profile] selfpreservationist 2021-02-01 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
... I was the opposite. I was... too calm. I fought all my instincts that wanted to lash out, be violent, because I told myself I couldn't damage Nero's heart. I met the griffin at the end, too.

Is being with him not enough?
adorabilities: (Uh. Hello. Yes.)

[personal profile] adorabilities 2021-02-01 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[can she do that, can this girl who is fundamentally bad at lying do that? repress, repress, repress?]

Kohime... what happened-- after we separated?
temperedinpride: (23)

[personal profile] temperedinpride 2021-02-01 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
For practical purposes not really. Academically it is quite fascinating.

But it does not change what has transpired. Nor do I think it means they are in danger of merging. Though that is again only conjecture and intuition.
selfpreservationist: (flag'd with grey brow'd snows)

[personal profile] selfpreservationist 2021-02-01 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't enough to help him with his tampered memory. Who knows what other damage I've caused inadvertently?

[blinks]

Ah.

...I... wanted to take down anything that hurt him. There were those kids, and that scientist... and there was no way I was going to be calm and rational when Jason and Shrike were trying to kill each other, so...

Maybe failing in both directions will balance out?

[she sounds manically amused, almost on the edge of tears, rather than actually hopeful about that]

[she's basically turned her jacket inside out to hide the blood as much as she can, and she's looking for others.]

Arya?

It's not bad, Raven, and you've definitely improved immensely. I... appreciate it, and it really means a lot to me.

I've never really been much of an academic.

At least I think they both probably got through it okay.

[He tugs a lock of Raven's hair.]

Who indeed? You will have to discover that. Whether you have done harm or good or been neutral.

Vergil seems all right. Though I cannot say Raven looks pleased.

[she collapses against him, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face in his shoulder, even if it's bloody.

Her voice is quieter when she speaks again]

...I wish I'd been there with you. We could have helped him together.

What are you talking about? Nothing happened.

[...]

That's just because of Nero.
