selfpreservationist | [RAVEN'S HEART GAME

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.

[Well he was just on his way out but, he's not sure if that's addressed to him or the kid?

Wait was Jason always covered in blood?]

...What happened to you?

I ran into you.

[he pauses]

And guess that narrows it down to this bein' Raven's heart.

[HONESTLY, he has. a lot of wounds.

were he not a bat, he would definitely be looking for a hospital.

but he is a bat.]

[Vergil has no point of reference for what is a hospital type wound (or amount of wounds,) for a human despite Imeeji because he can't get it through his head, so he's not that concerned about this? If Jason seemed more concerned then maybe.]

How many of me are there here?

Just the big, ugly tentacle one.

Managed to grab this.

[he shows the cane sword]

[Ugh. Great. Well guess that's what he'll have to look for next, makes the most sense, even if he doesn't want to.]

...That's Raven's isn't it? Hm.

[He thinks about this for a moment. Arm didn't go in the chandelier, but, it's made of swords and that's a sword, and this is Raven's soul or whatever so...]

Try putting it in the chandelier if you haven't found anything else. Otherwise, Raven is upstairs, maybe he wants it.

I'll test it out.

But good to know Raven's just hanging around. Might have to have a chat with him.

I was just heading back to do just that, he's in the first room when you get upstairs, but he seemed disoriented.

He got anything like what we saw with Nero?

[and he pauses.]

And I think it's safe to say we can wind up in Nero's heart too,

Like what we saw with Nero...? As in forgetting things, or the tattoos? The latter would be difficult to tell with Raven, but I don't think he had been forgetting anything.

...But there does seem a high chance Nero will be next, if it's anything to do with that.

Probably.

At least that means we might be able to fix it. ...Or at least stop it from getting any worse.
