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...

...The pain he's suffered through.

[glancing up at the display, still crouched down]

All the bad games, all the bad memories . . . so they're all here.

That cross... [Staring at it, why screaming screaming is bad must help] I've seen it before, in Kanda's heart. It's the symbol of the Order that hurt them.

So that pain just keeps on multiplying over and over again?

Because they never recovered from what happened.

We need to get to it.

Right. Let's go.

[it's not that tall, we can probably crawl over to it?]

it looks like you will be relatively safe if you Solid Snake it.

[WELL also I can make small shields. Moving into a crouch and starting to sing and glow to test how well they hold up, sparkly blue light shield!]

AKB~!
0048!

Advance forward! (Got it!)
Don't you dare to halt! (Got it!)
Our aim is that place where the sun rise
Walk on the path of hope!

Hey—now that's more like it!

The shields reflect the spikes, which then rebound off into the walls in different places.

[Hmmm :| Welp let's go everybody stay behind me as we go to the cross and try to see how it works are there any openings in this thing]

What blocked this path is River! River! River!
A stretched-out River!
The fated River! River! River!
An ordeal River!

Throw away all your doubts!
Show your willpower!
Don't hesitate!
Immediately
One step forward! Believe yourself!

[yess nice job Melody. standing up and helping her check that cross out]

The cross shudders every time it lets out more spikes. It's formed around some kind of central tube out of which the spikes are generating, and seems to be made of silver.

[knocks on that tube, how sturdy is it?]

[pretty sturdy! You're resourceful people if you plan to break it though]

I've got knives.

[Can I get a closer look at that tube if that's where the spikes are coming from that must be where we turn them off]

It's about 1 foot in diameter, appears to be solid silver, and the top has spikes all over it which shoot out other spikes, to discourage tampering.

Hey, Melody, we've got to break the tube they're coming from somehow—do you think you can aim your shield so they'll smack right back into it?

[Well I'll have to angle it... Motioning for people to follow her as she tries to bend it, she can only move it so far before it exposes people to spikes]

Inside your heart too
A river is flowing
So painful, a river of trial
Maybe it doesn't go smoothly, even so
Sometimes you almost drown, even so
It's OK to repeat again
Do not give it up
The bank exists just there
Someday your struggle will bring you to it

[Stabbing is not always the answer

I mean maybe we will have to stab the thing

But let's explore our options first okay]

[i am very sure stabbing the thing is our answer here]

[...Yeah okay let's stab it]

[are we resorting to stabbing, is that what we're doing]
