[RAVEN'S HEART GAME - SESSION THREE]

[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 dagger fits perfectly into the slot, and as you secure it, you can faintly hear a click, though you’re not sure from where. You can’t seem to pull it back out once it’s in, no matter how hard you pull.

[ she goes to sit down next to him on the bed. ]

So everything's all right, here? I'm helping tidy up.

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[rollplayinghouse]

[THAT ALSO SEEMS GOOD.

Okay one more thing to try. to the bedroom!]

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

"I appreciate it. Ah--"

He pauses for a moment. You hear a faint click.

"... things are getting tidied up, certainly."

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[softlyfalling]

Oh—good, then.

[ she gives him a kiss on the cheek. ]

I hope I'll eventually run back into the others, but I'm glad to see you.

To the bedroom

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[rollplayinghouse]

[Glory has an amulet now, and will see if it fits in the indent in the chest.]

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

He smiles, and returns the kiss, and then rests his head on her shoulder.

"It's good to see you too."

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[softlyfalling]

[ she leans back against him. ]

Soon, I'm sure everything will be set to rights.

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[idolpro]

It looks like it fits perfectly, as a matter of fact.

[failedsafe]

[she's going to check that bedside table. is there anything here?]

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[rollplayinghouse]

[Nice.

Can she open the chest?]

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

"I hope so..."

Clingy Raven wants to cuddle now.

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[softlyfalling]

[ clingy raven can have a little cuddle as a treat. ]

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[idolpro]

You place the amulet into the chest, and there's a final click sound. The wooden chest opens. A sense of foreboding fills the room, like you’ve just opened Pandora’s box. Whatever awaits you inside must surely be somethi--

oh

oh god

It’s cats. Dozens and dozens of cats. They’re everywhere now. They’re crawling out and filling the room. There’s so many of them. Soon, there’s just a cacophony of meowing. What have you done.

Congratulations, you have unlocked the cat box.

nya~

[idolpro]

It looks pretty normal. There's nothing of importance in there.

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

Yaaaaaaaaay

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[rollplayinghouse]

[Glory certainly was not expecting that, and she startles physically, but—]

A-Ah. They're cute...

[time to pet a cat]

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[idolpro]

They want your love and pets so much!! Meow meow meow meow purr purr.

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[rollplayinghouse]

[maybe that's symbolic of how Raven wants love and pets so much. but he keeps that feeling in a box? she's getting good at this symbolism thing.

anyway she will pet cats a bunch. but eventually—]

...Sorry, guys, i have one more place to check.

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[idolpro]

You get some more fuzzy headbutts against your legs, but eventually you can make your way out of the room.

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[rollplayinghouse]

[time to head down to the cellar, the one place she hasn't seen yet]

Re: DOOR THREE - THE BEDROOM

[idolpro]

The Cellar

Re: THE CELLAR

[rollplayinghouse]

[Rather than go for the trap door immediately, Glory spends some time looking at the wall, and then tests to see if she can dislodge any bricks.]
