Heart Game Round 6

[princesssavvy]

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.

OOC NOTES

[princesssavvy]

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.

There are also key points in which you can interact with that are marked with a water droplet like so: [💧] At any of these points, 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). 'Feel' will mean experiencing Flow's memory associated with that theme. Your character instinctively knows this upon arriving in the heart.

STARTING ROOM

[princesssavvy]

Re: STARTING ROOM

[noescape]

[ Looking around. ]

Hello?

Re: STARTING ROOM

[princesssavvy]

The eerie silence greets you in return.

Re: STARTING ROOM

[noescape]

[ DON'T LIKE IT. ]

[ poking around the room then! looking at all the bits and bobs laying around. ]

Re: STARTING ROOM

[princesssavvy]

The weaponry stands in good condition, and the various itemry seems to be treasures brought earlier, from their grand state.

If he pokes around at the maps and charts, he'll find the maps show various locales, perhaps some of them match to the destinations on the crystals, but it's hard to tell which would. If he digs through long enough, he'll stumble upon a hastily scribbled sheet that reads:

Danger Levels:
Tiara: Medium
Goblet: Low
Dagger: High

Re: STARTING ROOM

[noescape]

Hey, could I meet the captain before I go?

[ :|aaa ]

The Coastline

[princesssavvy]

... you're dropped into a new location, feeling sandy ground on your feet. Looking up, you find yourself at a shore, a [large statue] wielding a spear in the distance. There's also a long [beach] stretching out behind you, the faint sound of female voices in the distance. The most obvious feature though, is the [doorway] in front of you, its heavy wooden doors apparently shut tight. The red crystal floats in the air behind you, humming with the same magical energy it did before.

Re: The Coastline

[noescape]

[ Exploring the beach! ]

[ Is that where the female voices are coming from? ]

Re: The Coastline

[princesssavvy]

You move down the beach, feeling warm sand against your toes. In the distance, you can see a small [cove], that seems to be the direction that the voices you heard earlier are coming from. As you round the bend in the beach, you'll suddenly notice it's littered with mountain-like rock formations, some of them half covered in an [amber-like rock], similar to the ones that used to reside in the courtyard of the amusement park.

There also appears to be a small path leading to a [beach hut] off to your left, away from the coastline.

Re: The Coastline

[noescape]

[ Hmmm. Beach hut tempting, but he's headed towards the cove. ]

Re: The Coastline

[princesssavvy]

You make your way over to the cove...

The Cove

[princesssavvy]

You step into the cove to find it unexpectedly covered in vines and [blooming blue and purple flowers] scattered across the walls. A smell in the air makes you feel a little more… loose? Dazed? Drunk-dazed? Either way, you're feeling pretty good the longer you stay in this room, good enough to feel a little cuddly.

There's water leading into the cove and up to a [small pond] that circles around the large [ivy plant] in the center of the room, which appears to be where most of the plants are growing from. [Two female angel statues] sit at the end of the cave, pouring out neverending water. It seems to be from these two statues where the voices are coming from, but the statues themselves don't appear to be moving.

Re: The Cove

[noescape]

[ Ooooh. ]

[ Can he still hear the voices? ]

Re: The Cove

[princesssavvy]

He can! They sound like two female voices, chattering quietly and cheerfully.

Re: The Cove

[noescape]

[ Ah, okay! ]

Hello? Is there someone else here?

Re: The Cove

[princesssavvy]

The voices seem to pause when you call out, and from behind the statues you see two pairs of eyes peering out at you.

Specifically, you see Riri and Vivi peering out at you.

[princesssavvy]

You finally surface to find yourself in a large cave. In front of you, you can see the wreckage of the ship, surrounded by [murky water] that ripples with the tide. Every now and then, a [dark shape] seems to move in and out of view in the water- oh wait, that's just Vivi and Riri swimming around excitedly.

As you draw closer to the ship, you notice two holes in the walls of the ship that look big enough to squeeze into. Do you enter the one with a [red glowing light] emitting from it, or the one with a [yellow glowing light]?

[noescape]

[ Patience will gravitate to the one with the yellow light coming from it. ]

[princesssavvy]

You wiggle yourself over to the yellow light...

Captain's Room

[princesssavvy]

You slip through the hole and find yourself in the captain's room, the room conveniently partially flooded with water. A great [owl statue] sits over the fireplace. Piles of books cover the [green desk] in the room, scattered papers appear to cover the [yellow desk]. There's a [chalkboard] with carefully written writing on it and an [abacus] situated against the window in the room.

Re: Captain's Room

[noescape]

[ Oh! He at least knows what an abacus is. So, he will go and inspect the abacus and the chalkboard. Was there some important stuff going on here?

What do the writings say? ]

Re: Captain's Room

[princesssavvy]

The chalkboard has various different handwritings on it, listing different projects. There's one about building a hot air balloon, one about buying a set of tools, one about learning more recipes, another about teas... It looks like a collection of thoughts.

The abacus sits gloriously in front of the window, and whoever owns it... appears to have no idea how an abacus actually works. There are nine horizontal rows, and carved into the wood on the left side are a list of names.

Milly
Didi
Riri
Mimi
GaoGao
Lala
Vivi
ChaCha
Princess
Flow

There are four beads on each row, all sitting in the center of their respective rows.

Can this even really be called an abacus...?

Re: Captain's Room

[noescape]

[ He smiles a little bit at the names. What if he just? Moves all of them to mac addition side? Caramel is good shit. ]

Re: Captain's Room

[princesssavvy]

ChaCha's name lights up when this happens, but only that one.
