(no subject)

[hunting]

[You feel a tug, insistent, demanding and desperate. Powerful enough that it seems it intends to rip you out of existence itself. And there is sensation of a barely restrained exasperated breath echoing in your ears you're taking too long, idiot...

Then it suddenly stops, the halted motion launching you face-first into a giving surface.]


[OOC: Please join #vampireheart. All healing abilities off. Combat abilities and items on.]

SAKURA

[hunting]

[The sakura tree looms over you, feeling strangely foreboding. There is an eery quiet to this area and you might have to resist the urge to turn back around, as though there was something here you don't really want to face.]

SAKURA (OUTSIDE)

[hunting]

[What will you do?]

Re: SAKURA (OUTSIDE)

[aheroemerges]

[... well, this is pretty unsettling.. if it's creepily quiet, obviously the solution is to make some noise]

Hey, anyone there—?

Re: SAKURA (OUTSIDE)

[unionoftheheart]

[taking a few deep breaths and resisting that urge yeah '-']

[standing where he is for a moment and looking around very carefully though...up in the branches, around, are there extra footprints, etc]

Re: SAKURA (OUTSIDE)

[playfreebird]

[repressing is what ninjas are best at; it seems unlikely we'll get through this without facing some things we don't want to—onward!]

[tocatchafallingapple]

[ walking up to the tree '-' ]

[floorcandy]

[... before i apprach this tree i am making a tiny happy snowman]

Re: SAKURA (OUTSIDE)

[sticksofthejedi]

[Attempt to approach; Jedi, and there aren't really other readily apparent landmarks.]

Re: SAKURA (OUTSIDE)

[beforehecheats]

[Rook stops at the feeling and looks up into the branches.]

I do hope you don't need a tree. That might be hard to bring back.

[Who knows. Maybe the disembodied voice can hear him.]

Re: SAKURA (OUTSIDE)

[floorcandy]

Don't touch the snow, it's full of horrible despair.

[deadofknight]

[looking for signs that people have passed this way + threads that need chopping!]

SAKURA (MAIN LEVEL)

[hunting]

[You manage to avoid the tree branches and push on the knob. An opening in the tree instantly appears, causing you to fall into it, based on where you were just standing.

When you recover, you'll find yourself in a quaint garden that you may or may not recognize as the one Citrine had in Three's realm. A boy with floppy rabbit ears in a Citrine outfit is busy watering a healthy-looking rose bush in a dark orange pot. He is also wearing a mask.

Around him are other black rose bushes in their own pots, ranging in colors such as more dark orange, bright yellow, orange, blue, dark purple, light purple and silver.

In the far back is also a wood bench, though it seems to be covered with some things.]

[unionoftheheart]

[oh...]

[gosh this is an awkward heartfigment to run into :|a]

[um]

Drift?

[THEN BLINKING AND LOOKING LEGIT SURPRISED AT WHAT CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH]

Re: SAKURA (MAIN LEVEL)

[aheroemerges]

[oh it's a guy...]

Hello?

Re: SAKURA (MAIN LEVEL)

[tocatchafallingapple]

--Hello there.

Re: SAKURA (MAIN LEVEL)

[floorcandy]

Drift!

Re: SAKURA (MAIN LEVEL)

[sticksofthejedi]

[dusting herself off again, glancing around. Person she doesn't know, pots...what's with the bench?]

Re: SAKURA (MAIN LEVEL)

[playfreebird]

[...nods to Drift rather than rush in when there's a heart person he doesn't know; maybe not the time to be particularly impolite]

Re: SAKURA (MAIN LEVEL)

[beforehecheats]

[Dusting himself off and looking up to make sure the tree branch isn't joining the rest of the party.

But hello, new person.]

I don't think we've met. I would have remembered the ears.

Re: SAKURA (MAIN LEVEL)

[deadofknight]

[looking for threads and evidence of people having been here or messed things about. o/]

SAKURA (SUBLEVEL)

[hunting]

[You fall for a bit before landing on a soft bed of sakura petals. But as reassuring as that is, the rest of the atmosphere is far from. The same coppery smell from the river is all around you, though older and less fresh. The room appears to be the inside of a house, though it has been badly damaged, as if there was a terrible fight and blood stains are splashed across the walls and floor. You see two prone figures lying next to each other in the center of the room. There is also a sword lying just in front of them. Sakura petals are sprinkled throughout, though there is a particular large pile of them to the left of the bodies. The room carries a nearly smothering aura of despair.]

Re: SAKURA (SUBLEVEL)

[aheroemerges]

[uhhhh]

[those sure are dead bodies]

... What the hell happened...

Re: SAKURA (SUBLEVEL)

[sticksofthejedi]

[Well that's...troublesome. Coming to check out if she can recognize the figures.]

Re: SAKURA (SUBLEVEL)

[tocatchafallingapple]

[ going to that pile of sakura petals first ]

SAKURA (???)

[hunting]

[You're in an open room with ambivalent light. Something feels off about it, disconnected from the rest of the heart, as though it was its own entity entirely. Someone has scrawled a bloody message on one of the walls and in the center of the room a massive coffin trembles, as a long banging echoes from within. The coffin is wrapped tightly in chains made of Darkness and those infuriating threads.]
