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 ✨ ]

Lots of blood, guts, and gore in the kitchen. And a constant feeling of hunger, which was exacerbated by all that, as I'm sure you could imagine. He was... torn, I'm sure, and didn't want to believe it was real.

[innerdaemons]

What an unpleasant surprise for him, I am sure.

[420blazeit]

...mm. I'm guessing he might not have known that about you?

[innerdaemons]

He knows about the cannibalism, certainly, but not about other aspects of it.

[ like how he actually enjoys eating people now!! ]

[420blazeit]

[ WUPS. ]

...he might now. Maybe.

[innerdaemons]

I suppose ... I'll have to discuss this with him.

[ he HATES talking about things! ]

[420blazeit]

[ talking about things sure does suck! ]

...I *did* sort of want to ask you a few things, myself, but here is probably... not a good spot to do so.

[innerdaemons]

We could always speak in private, of course.

[420blazeit]

I’d like that, but can I get a rain check? You do need some rest after [ makes a vague motion in the direction they just came from. ] that.

I’m more concerned about getting you back to BiT right now besides.

[innerdaemons]

Oh, of course! I'm sure there's others you'd like to attend to as well in the aftermath of all this.

[420blazeit]

...there is, but like I said, right now, I'm concerned about you. [ summons her aibou and offers him a hand once she climbs aboard. ]

[innerdaemons]

I'm touched, truly, but I'm not sure I necessitate that level of concern.

[ he takes her hand before going to join her. ]

[420blazeit]

[ she just shrugs. ] We're, like, kind of like friends at this point. [ a bit of a laugh. ]

[ as soon as they're on her aibou she'll fly them back to baritones. go a balcony or something, so we can avoid the front door / elevator? ]

[innerdaemons]

Odd how that all started.

[ his tone is light -- and that sounds safe!! he'll delicately be stepping off her aibou once they've arrived, with an appreciative bow ]

[420blazeit]

I know, right! But at least we worked it out of our system. [ stifles a bit of a laugh as she follows suit and jumps off, her aibou bowing its heads before vanishing. ] Lead the way, Absinthe~
