[RAVEN'S HEART GAME - SESSION ONE]

[selfpreservationist]

The first thing you hear is the sound of rain faintly hitting the exterior of the house. The soft pitter-patter is almost soothing, in a way, but it’s quickly followed up by rumbling thunder in the distance. You open your eyes, and for a second all you see is a flash of light--at first it seems like it’s lightning, but then you see something. A vision of a man dressed in rags, hunched over, waves of demonic power rolling over him. He howls, and something terrible starts to grow out of him: the bloody roots of a massive tree. An immense wave of panic hits you, and you can’t move, you can’t speak, you can’t breathe--

And then it’s over. It’s over. You’re fine.

The sound of rain returns. (This time it’s definitely soothing, compared to what you just saw.) You’re standing in the foyer of a mansion, a wide open living room in front of you. The door behind you is faintly ajar, leading outside.

The boy looks surprised. He takes the book, looking it over. He doesn’t smile, exactly; but his expression grows a bit softer. “Thanks,” he says. As he does, you feel something click, though you’re not sure where it came from.

[Did he do right by the child version of himself who he feels personally responsible for and like somehow he as his adult self failed even though that's completely impossible because that's not how time works?? Well it makes him happy to have comforted him a bit.]

Are you sure you're alright here by yourself?

Re: OUTSIDE

The boy is already opening the book and setting it into his lap so he can start reading.

"Yes. It's lonely here, but I'm alright."

Re: OUTSIDE

...Alright. Enjoy your book.

[...He kind of wants to just stay so he's not lonely? But there's things to do. So he's once again heading to the library to demand answers of Raven.]

"Mm," the boy responds.
