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 ✨ ]

Hm. Not exactly that. My usual calculation and detachment at times.

And then again, the arrogance to treat every part of you as mine to do with as I pleased.

[That securely sits make him squeeze tighter, pleased.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[He laughs.]

The former you would find in me too. The latter, that is only as you should do. Have I not told you?

[temperedinpride]

[Security does*

He smiles, nuzzling his shoulder then laying his head there.]

So you see? Why should I be worried about you experiencing it from my perspective?

You are mine. Every part of you. Maybe you will feel it.

[auguryofinnocence]

Hmm, it would be nice to feel from your end.

...I suppose you've already felt plenty from me, if it was anything like the rest. And given the books. So I hardly need offer to return the favour.

[temperedinpride]

What, not going to offer to have me feel your reaction?

[auguryofinnocence]

Now there's an idea. Well if you like, why not?

[temperedinpride]

It sounds like a deal then.

[auguryofinnocence]

Anything for you.

[He twists a bit to catch Lahabrea's face and kiss his cheek.]

[temperedinpride]

[He blushes a little and comes around to just cuddle Vergil from the side then.]

I do believe that.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Well. Better yet, he's pulling Lahabrea into his lap then and kissing him properly.]

Good, I'm glad. Judging by the others, there must have been plenty to convince you.

[temperedinpride]

[Oh well time to sit in Vergil's lap and kiss him thoroughly.]

Mm, well, you already had me convinced.

[auguryofinnocence]

Hmm. You mentioned you could sense me. Was that the norm, or...?

[He reaches for the braid. That would be nice.]

[temperedinpride]

It does not seem so. Hades and Five needed my input on where to find parts of you.

[He leans into that so Vergil can have braid in hand, sageo included.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[He smiles, leaning into Lahabrea's shoulder.]

I would have liked to help them too. But I'm glad you had that. I hope that will always be the case, that it will inform you.

[temperedinpride]

[He brushes his fingers over his jaw, then kisses his forehead.]

As do I. But even if it does not help me, I believe it will still lead you, at least.

[auguryofinnocence]

There is no question that it will lead me. But if it does not go both ways it will be more a monitor on you than what I intend. So although such an event may only be coloured by my own expectation rather than strictly accurate, it is good to hear.

Any other exciting adventures?

[temperedinpride]

Do you think I mind that you can keep track of me?

[He kisses his jaw and then makes himself comfortable.]

But it would be nice if I could use it to find you in reality, yes.

As for adventures... I went through Nero's heart and Absinthe's. You already know I was in Raven's. Though I mostly slept in that one.

[auguryofinnocence]

Naturally I should be entitled to know where you are at all times. What you are doing and thinking too, if you please. Do find a way to add that.

[temperedinpride]

[He laughs a little.]

Is that so? Perhaps I'll work on it when everything else is done.

[auguryofinnocence]

Good. See that you do.

I already know about Raven but how were Nero and Absinthe for you then?

[temperedinpride]

Hm... Well enough I suppose? Nero's was... An interesting sort of heart. I met his friend Nicoletta, she was delightful.

Absinthe was... In many ways about what I expected, and in some not what I would have thought to find.

[auguryofinnocence]

I have little memory of Absinthe but I was there for both...

[Hmmmmmm]

What did you talk with that girl about?

[temperedinpride]

Nothing much? Just how to proceed in his heart.

[auguryofinnocence]

She didn't insult you or give you something absurd?

[temperedinpride]

Not that I noticed? She gave me a cigarette when I asked. It was foul.
