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...

PATH TO THE TRUE HEART

[imaginemeandyuu]

Once everyone has gathered and the last body part is put in...

Suddenly, the bowl inverts and becomes stairs, leading from one edge of the hole into the lower part up to -- well. The thing that is forming.

It takes the general outline of a person, using the body parts you placed in, but it's all wrong. Most of the body is missing, of course, and floating in place with everything behind it visible. From the top, you have a mask-like face with a single eye and a mouth attached to it, with the brain tucked away in a skull hanging behind it. No torso, but you can see the core floating slightly in front of the heart, and a womb some distance below that. No arms, but a right hand, and a single finger from the left hand. A tail hanging shortly below the womb. A single foot.

Then there's the fact that it's all mismatched in size, colors, sexes -- at least, the parts that don't just look like generic organs. But the heart is too small for an adult body, as is the right hand; the other floating finger is long and elegant, the eye isn't Alma's normal eye color... and so on.

It hovers there, in that strange, grotesque amalgamation of parts, then abruptly slams together, flattens, broadens, changes color and tone and material: changes into a door.

"WHO AM I" is carved into the wood.

Isn't that a question you have to answer for yourself? Pumpkin.

I don't have much of an answer for that. I barely know you.

But you're Alma, you seem like a nice enough kid, and you love Kanda. You've been through some bad things, but--

[Hesitating a little, then nodding.]

It's gonna be all right since you've got each other now.

. . . che.

[a little begrudgingly, that he feels it necessary to say this with a straight face]

You're the person I love.

You're Pumpkin, aren't you? You can be who you want to be. Your future's whatever you want to make for yourself. But no matter what happens, no matter what you do, you'll always be Tiger's Eye too, right?
