[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.

[...she walks over to sit on the bed with him]

What are you up to...?

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

He leans his head on your shoulder.

"Not much. Just relaxing. It's nice here."

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[rollplayinghouse]

It is. I'm glad for that.

[pets his hair a bit]

...I hear something's gone wrong, though. Have you noticed anything...?

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

"There's something missing from in there." He points to the mirror you came out of. "But otherwise, I haven't noticed anything."

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[rollplayinghouse]

...Well, that's good, probably. Are you safe in here?

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

"Yes. I'm always safe here."

He nuzzles your shoulder.

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[rollplayinghouse]

...Good.

[a kiss for this Raven too, pressed into his hair]

Then I shouldn't stay long. There are things I should take care of.

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

He makes a pleased noise.

"Alright. I'll be here."

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[rollplayinghouse]

...Yeah. I'll see you.

[she stands up and gives a parting peck to his lips before heading back for the door]

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

"See you. I love you."

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[rollplayinghouse]

[//////// this is so many feelings to have while On A Mission]

I love you too.

[but! business!! back out to the bathroom to look at that suspicious hole a little closer!]

Re: DOOR TWO - ★ZRAEL

[idolpro]

The hole is right underneath Sabre's collage. Sabre’s collage is mostly filled with pictures of her sitting or sleeping on Raven’s feet, from his perspective. She’s grinning in a lot of them, showing fangs. One of the pictures moves, and it depicts a short scene of her handing Raven a dagger. Another shows him falling over onto the floor as he fails to carry her piggyback-style, and she sits on him.

The hole in the wall is actually more like an ensconced slot underneath Sabre’s portrait. It’s thin, and only about an inch and a half lengthwise. It looks like something could fit inside.

Sabre's poem.

[Cute.

She looks at the hole carefully.]

The dagger, maybe...? Mm, we'll see what I can find, I guess.

[Which means it's time to go back out to the hall and head for Door #3]
