princesssavvy | Heart Game Round 1

This is just on loop this entire run okay.

You find yourselves standing in a large room that… appears to be swaying slightly, the longer you stand there the more you seem to notice it. A quick look out the window reveals an open ocean, you must be on a ship! I hope you don't get seasick! But it's eerily quiet in here, the only sounds coming from anyone else occupying the room with you. There is only [one door visible in the room], the faint sound of voices just barely penetrating through the door. A small letter sits on the door, which reads:

To meet Captain Île Flottante, bring a treasure worthy enough to earn your place among the crew.

Scattered around the room are [various map charting and navigation tools], along with [basic weaponry]. Swords, spears, shields, bows and arrows, even a few old-style flintlock guns. They all look clean and well-used.

The most eye-attracting piece though is a [large red crystal] atop a stone pedestal sits in the middle of the room, a glowing golden lamp sitting atop it. The three sides of the crystal pillar shimmer with a golden light, faintly glowing with different shapes and a description underneath:

The Silver Tiara

Legends say this tiara belonged to the princess of a queendom who unfortunately perished at a young age. Whomsoever holds this tiara may make their claim as the ruler of the queendom, which is why the tiara stands under heavy guard by an invading kingdom. Break in and retrieve the tiara, so it may be returned to its rightful owner.

The Bronze Goblet

Legends say this goblet was the treasured item of a band of heroes who faced numerous foes together. The goblet represented their bond and traveled wherever the band did, but one day tragedy struck and their boat sank. Though the heroes all survived, the goblet was lost to the sea. New rumors have emerged saying that a recently beached ship might just be the lost ship of heroes. Investigate the beached ship and find the goblet so it can be returned to the heroes for one more shared drink.

The Crystal Dagger

Legends say this cursed dagger was used to end the life of a tyrant queen and plunged a queendom into ruin. A band of thieves have taken up residence in the ruins and plan to sell the dagger to the highest bidder. Travel to the ruined queendom and find the dagger before it can be used to ruin another.

Instinctively, you know that putting your hand against one of the sides of the pillar will begin your treasure hunt. Take the time you need to prepare yourself before heading out.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

In this heart, major interactable items/locations will be highlighted by being bracketed with []! Anything pictured can also be interacted with, unless otherwise stated, but your reaction may vary.

You must find a key in order to access the treasure in each location.

There are key points in which you can interact with that are marked with a water droplet like so: [💧]. These points are where you have the highest chance of finding the treasure key.

At any of these points, you will be required to share or feel. 'Share' will mean sharing a memory of their own experience relating to the theme underneath the droplet (for example, a droplet above the word family would expect a memory about family). You do not need to write out a full memory for these, a quick summary of an experience will be fine. 'Feel' will mean experiencing Flow's memory associated with that theme. Your character instinctively knows this upon arriving in the heart.

Powers/Abilities/Magic are Always On.

[I'm going to be seasick]

[ The ocean and I are also generally on thin ice.

Stumbling a step. ]

Ah, Millie. You are here, too?

Seems like it.

[Grabbing a gun and a shield]

I've only spotted one door.

[ Sir. Can he pick up a compass and whatever maps look relevant? Are there maps that look relevant? ]

And this interesting crystal.

[ Which Zhongli approaches but does not touch...

Instead he shoulders a bow over one arm ]

[making my own soundtrack]

Whoa, we're on a boat???

[Gonna take a KNIFE and a GUN of the pistol kind, dont mind him]

There is a compass! The maps look to be of differing places, some of them king/queendoms, some of them islands. Surely one of these must match to one of the locations...

[ Hmmmm maybe he'll pick one once he figures out where they are going first. ]

[ checking out the crystal! ]

Apparently. And one already far out at sea.

Ah! Princess.

Neat! Have you ever rode a boat to sea, Gaogao? You must've right?

A bow?

[ He summons a spear from thin air that definitely would make a "Detect Magic" spell go bonkers. ]

Yes, just in case we encounter anything that requires ranged capabilities. Though I imagine you'll be better suited for that since I am many years out of practice.
