[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.

You drain the water, but you're still sparkling.

Guess I'll just have to live with being fabulous~!

[Lily will look at the rest of the portraits, looking to see if there's anything on or behind them, first. Who's all here?]

[idolpro]

The collages are all focused on a different member of ☆Zrael, past and present and princess: Annabel, Aradia, Doodleman, Glory, Lance, Man Eater, Requiem, Sabre, and Wataru. Each one has a poem amidst their photos.

[Let's look at Lance, Aradia and Doodles.]

[idolpro]

Lance's collage is a tad smaller than the others, but the pictures it shows are very tender. Many of them, like Aradia’s, show Raven’s perspective from laying with his head in Lance’s lap, or on his shoulder. There’s a close-up of his newly-obtained horns, and several more pictures of Lance smiling.

Lance's poem.

Aradia’s collage is filled with pictures of her reading or preparing tea and sweets. There’s a few pictures from the perspective of someone with their head in her lap, looking up at her. In addition to pictures, there’s also several book covers and framed passages from books--20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Treasure Island, Around the World in Eighty Days, and other adventure novels.

Aradia's poem.

Doodle’s collage has a bunch of pictures of him making big goofy smiles while Raven’s hand is in his hair, petting him. There’s also a leather collar and leash among the pictures, for some reason, as well as a blindfold. Finally, there’s also a book on Zoroastrian mythology, with a few pages bookmarked.

Doodle's poem.

[FOR SOME REASON, HUH.

What about Man Eater?]

[idolpro]

Man Eater’s collage of pictures are almost all nude pictures, though clearly casual. Pictures of him at the onsen, pictures of him lounging in his bed--very few are explicitly sexual. (Though there are some.) There’s also a lot of close-ups of his face and especially his mouth, focused on his sharp set of teeth. Curiously, there’s one of him in a school uniform, standing outside what looks like a Japanese high school?

Man Eater's poem.

[She'll stop soon but...who is this Annabel?]

[idolpro]

Annabel's collage is simple: just a few still portraits of a girl, ☆Zrael’s princess from the last Princess Maker game, Annabel Afriti Maria Reverie Still☆Water etc.

Annabel's poem.

[Hm, well, she probably shouldn't snoop aaaaaanymore maaaaybe, so let's just lift up the rug and beanbag chair, is there anything underneath?]

[idolpro]

Not that you can see. The rug is very soft, though!

[failedsafe]

Good taste.

[Okay, time to leave! and check out door number 3]
