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 ✨ ]

[raven is curled up in the grass, and as he wakes he finds he's more than a little disoriented. he pinches his brow and shakes his head, letting out a deep sigh. he looks... kind of exhausted.

there's also a SSS sticker on his chest.]

[420blazeit]

[ crouches down alongside him. ] ...hey nae salang. [ sets a hand to his head to tussle his hair. ] How are you feeling?

[selfpreservationist]

... like I have a headache. But at least I'm awake now.

[420blazeit]

...let's head back to the dorm then, and I'll draw a bath and fix you something easy on the stomach. I can even rub your head a bit if you like, though... [ she'll look around. ] Did you want to check on anybody first?

[selfpreservationist]

... yes.

Nero, and... Vergil. I...

[he tries to get up and ends up wobbling, and falling back on his ass]

... need a minute. Apparently.

[rollplayinghouse]

[Glory has her own SSS sticker. Also her front is covered in multicolored blood.

Also she's holding a round cat plushie, apparently.]

Raven. Are you alright?

[selfpreservationist]

[just normal things in imeeji]

... my head hurts.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well.

You had a bunch of people inside it.

[selfpreservationist]

Yes... it's all still... hazy, but...

[he shakes his head to try and clear some of the fog]

[temperedinpride]

[Checking on him but he seems in good hands for now!]

[selfpreservationist]

[glances at him as he starts to come out of his fog]

Cosmo...

[temperedinpride]

Raven. How do you feel?

[selfpreservationist]

I have... a headache. It feels like my head is... still spinning.

[softlyfalling]

[ after a bit, she wanders over to find him, and without preamble sits down next to him and threads one hand into his hair. ]

[selfpreservationist]

[he looks at her for a beat, and then winds both his arms around her and pulls her into a hug]

[softlyfalling]

[ oh,

she nestles against him, folding her arms around him. ]

I'm glad you're all right.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ kneels down next to him, patting his lap. ]

Doesn't look too comfy down there. Need a pillow?

[selfpreservationist]

Yes.

[flops his head down on man eater's lap]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ starts rhythmically petting his hair. ]

I'm surprised you're ready to go back to sleep after all that.

[auguryofinnocence]

Do you remember anything?

[selfpreservationist]

[stares at him for a moment, blinking]

... yes. Do you?

[auguryofinnocence]

Of my own mind, not really, no.

As for yours, however, I hope you saw my fight.

[Yes that's what he's concerned with here, please be impressed.]

[hissterics]

[ Sitting on him and staring right at him as he comes to. ]

[selfpreservationist]

[blinks hazily as he wakens...]

--Sabre...!

[hissterics]

. . .

[ One claw pokes his cheek ]

So you are alive.
