[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.

[WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT FOR THE MIRROR, LADS!!!]

[idolpro]

The mirror is definitely… a mirror. I say this because while it reflects anyone in front of it, the scenery behind you is different. Instead of the bathroom, what you see is a vision of a beach, with dark murky water under an overcast sky. If you’ve ever been in Glory’s room, you’ll likely recognize the same scene. Faintly, you can hear water in the distance.

[CAN WE STEP INSIDE THE MIRROR]

[idolpro]

YOU SURE CAN. The room opens up to what appears to be a lake shore--black smooth stones carved with unknowable runes line the rocky shores, and the water is inscrutable, glassy and dark. Occasionally ripples spread, emanating as if something large and unknown is moving beneath the surface. The bed is in the usual ☆Zrael style, placed now upon a short pier with a nightstand beside it. Nearby is a natural hot spring.

Sitting on the bed wearing his usual ☆Zrael attire is Raven. He smiles as he sees you enter.

[HMMMM MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE HERE, EITHER.

like extra not be here]

Hi, Rave!

[idolpro]

"Hi," he smiles at you. It's a little... weird, actually, how genuinely happy he looks. His features are all the same--he looks like the same goth twink you've always known--but he seems so... content.

[failedsafe]

"What's got you in a good mood?"

[she'll start to make her way closer oh no this is cute!]

[idolpro]

"Nothing in particular, I suppose... I'm just enjoying where I am."

[failedsafe]

"Where is this, exactly?"

[idolpro]

"My heart? Or do you mean this room in particular? This is Glory's room."

[failedsafe]

Ohhhh, yeah, that's what I meant. Glory's room, huh? Nice place. Do you mind if I peek around a bit?

[idolpro]

"Go ahead. It's nice here."

[failedsafe]

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

[idolpro]

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