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 ✨ ]

And some people are too intimidated to be interested in the distinctions.

[temperedinpride]

Or perhaps not naturally inquisitive?

But I suppose I can see where blunt might put someone off even without the assassin part.

[rollplayinghouse]

All of those things, probably. They'll also back off because they think I'm annoyed or angry.

[temperedinpride]

Really? Well I suppose that's being respectful in a way.

[rollplayinghouse]

I guess, but it's annoying. Half the time I'm not even mad at them, and even if I am it's not like that means I don't want to talk to them.

If I don't want to talk to someone, they'll know. Because I won't be talking to them.

[temperedinpride]

[He laughs.]

You are indeed not that hard to read in that respect.

[rollplayinghouse]

I don't think I'm that hard to read in any respect, but I've had flirting come off as "probably going to stab you" to someone who didn't even know I was an assassin or anything, so I'm clearly not the best judge. Maybe I am mysterious and enigmatic.

[temperedinpride]

The deadpan is not something that always, well, conveys a meaning? To some it might come across indigent and angry, and to others, playful and dry.

Not that I can comment. I often struggle to show my own emotions openly when I wish to.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Yeah. That's a problem I have a lot too.

Part of the reason I'm blunt is that it doesn't usually work when I try to communicate something more subtly.
