Alma Heart Game

[imaginemeandyuu]

You fall into mud. It is sticky and sucking and cloying and whether you stay still and try to remain calm or struggle and try to get out, you're sucked downward. You can't breathe, you can't (of course) see, and you can feel the crushing weight of earth on you. When the blackness becomes overwhelming, you find yourself somewhere else...

What's the problem? Don't worry, don't worry, just don't look!

Re: UP - LEFT

[appleofhiseye]

You don't. I can assure you that it's fine how it is.

[highflyin]

Just... just slow down for a second there, cowboy. What are you going to do if one of those things tries to cut you up into tiny bite-sized Bucky pieces?

Re: UP - LEFT

[yourewaitingforagate]

Don't worry? You're taking your face off! Cut that out!

[grabbing for his shoulder, trying to pull him away from the spike]

Re: UP

[supersensitive]

[toooo many meat noises]

[putting... a hand out... to keep his balance and going right.]

- Pum. . . pkin.

[that's. uh. huh.]

[well at least it's not flesh anymore]

Re: UP - RIGHT

[soldieronwards]

I can fight.

[But he is now aware that fighting in the middle of someone's heart is probably a bad idea.]

We can't just let one part of Alma's soul chop up another part.

Re: DOWN

[imaginemeandyuu]

[Right]

Re: UP

[imaginemeandyuu]

[Right]

Re: DOWN - RIGHT

[hallucinogenetic]

[walks straight over to him and crouches down]

Re: UP - LEFT

[imaginemeandyuu]

Nope, really should! Nobody wants to see this, so I just have to get it off!

Re: UP - RIGHT

[highflyin]

Yeah, okay, so what could we do to avoid Alma hurting himself and Alma hurting us? This isn't brain surgery, pal. What would you do if this was a hostage situation?

Re: UP - LEFT

[imaginemeandyuu]

No, no, you mustn't, you'll get dirty...

[gets...hugged though, not fighting it]

Re: UP - LEFT

[imaginemeandyuu]

I'm taking it off and putting it away!

[pulled back]

Re: UP - LEFT

[imaginemeandyuu]

It's okay! Just pretend you never noticed!

Re: UP - LEFT

[seaside_cherry]

[If I hold you tight enough you can't tear your face off!!]

I don't care. Stop it, please stop, you'll hurt yourself.

Re: UP - LEFT

[imaginemeandyuu]

[well it's still flesh just hard flesh]

It's okay, just pretend you never saw this!

Re: UP - RIGHT

[soldieronwards]

...

[A quick pause, and then he's calling out to the two figures.]

Hey!

Hey, let's talk before any more blood gets spilled here.

Re: UP - LEFT

[appleofhiseye]

No, stop that this instant!

[pulling him away from the spikes. or at least away from the spikes that aren't on his body]

Re: DOWN - RIGHT

[imaginemeandyuu]

[looks up to him and starts crying] Please take him? I can't go any further, take him somewhere safe? Please?

Re: UP - LEFT

[yourewaitingforagate]

[grabs both shoulders, turning to face him]

So we won't see it? So you can hide it? Who says you have to put it away?

Re: UP - RIGHT

[imaginemeandyuu]

The boy holding the sword trembles in place.

"I have to -- live! But I ...can't..."

The feather-person doesn't move, just still holding the heart up.
