Alma Heart Game

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...

You take the flesh path winding downward. It gets narrower again, and this time there's no metal pieces forcing it back; it closes close enough that for a while it seems like it might close completely in a dead end, pressing in tight and warm and slightly moist around you.

But it continues to stay just around the size for your shoulders to brush it on either side, and eventually it reaches a pucker out of which some long white hair is hanging, maybe four feet long.

[gross gross gross gross TOUCHES THE HAIR???]

[You can hear someone breathing from inside the pucker]

[It feels like normal hair, albeit badly damaged]

...Can you hear me?

The pace of the breathing doesn't change, slow and sluggish. Whoever is inside sounds semi-conscious at best.

[...tttttugs at the hair some, ready to stop if it comes... off...]

You feel the person inside shift, and then...

A body slides out to puddle in the narrow flesh path with you. It's of -- well, it's Alma's body, but it doesn't look right at all. It's human, for one thing, and unlike Alma's body it is covered all over with hideous twisted scars. The damage is so intense that the shock-white hair is only growing on one side of his head, the rest of his scalp too tattered and scarred to support hair through all the tissue there. His eyes are completely numb and he seems semi-conscious at best.

There are also many tubes, wires, pipes leading from further in the pucker to attach to his body. If you were thinking of taking him with you, give it up; the pipes are literally embedded in his organs, it seems.

His lower stomach is bulging despite the thinness everywhere else, and seems to have something shifting under the skin.

He draws a shuddering breath, lashes fluttering.

[JESUS CHRIST kneeling beside]

Pumpkin--?

Nnh...?

[touching his face??!?]

I really hope someone else is managing to do something helpful for this place, jesus; can you talk? Wake up...

Out... [shaking his head against Ruka's touch]

[puts a hand against his belly] Go 'way.

I don't know who you're talking to but you probably shouldn't ask whatever that is to come out?

Keep it... in me?

Do you know what "it" is?

Monster. Bred monsters from me.

Knife?

[fucking hell]

[The gunbaby looks up with a totally human face nestled in all that akumaness]

[Alma stirs, but only a little]

[unsheathes Mugen]

[Alma] Yuu..

[The baby sees a threat and abruptly rises from its cuddling position, floating, guns starting to charge]

[Kanda's face has gone completely blank, and he just attacks without mercy]

[Well it's only a very tiny low level Akuma and you're a fucking general even with most of your skills sealed. U kill that thing.

What's left after is a small pink organ of some kind. You probably can't identify it.]

[GROSS where do gunbabies come from]

[ignoring that for now and going to Alma's side]

[he seems to be falling back asleep, smiling a little]

Yuu... thanks...

[smoothing his hair back]

Don't think about that anymore.

Mm... okay...

...I'll sleep...
