MATTERS OF THE HEART

Who: Livio, Wolfwood, Elsword, Mizuki, Add, Heimr
What: heimrquest
When: several days after the bar is built, late in the evening
Where:
???????
Warnings:
mentioned child death, mentions of plague, paranoia, supernatural-driven insanity, survivor's guilt, death, possession, impersonation, body horror. more will be added as needed.

The General Store isn't always the most bustling place, least of all in a small make-shift town of only a handful of people, each one more troubled than the last. But at some point, each and every one of you has needed something from Heimr today. Maybe it was just a bag of candy. Maybe it was something more pressing, or some groceries. Regardless, one by one he's tended to your needs, and you leave the store with little fanfare save for the fact that it's unusually foggy out this evening- not enough that you can't see other buildings...

Until you can't.

All around you is a heavy mist, and the scent of a wood fire and warm spices floats through the air. There's no turning back, so all you can do is move forward.

On an OOC note, the Choose Your Own Adventure threads will eventually merge into one group thread. Once this occurs, mod tags will occur after each involved character has tagged, or after 24 hours have passed. That said, if it looks like good banter or development is happening, the Mod will hold off a bit or until dramatic irony strikes.

[Oh. Great.

Okay. Cool cool cool...

Elsword frowns, as he normally does, and then shakes his head. He'll pull himself back from that hand and look at himself back in the lake. Is he all messed up again?]

[Wow, his head is unstuffed! For once!! This will never happen again. He feels a lot better, that's for sure.]

...I'm okay. [He's okay. For once, he's okay.] Don't worry about me. You came all the way out here, so it would be dumb to turn around and go back. What're you looking for here?

[Water sparkles...]

Cool. I wish I had my fishing stuff. [Did he fish in his past life? He had to have, right? He knows from memories he got a while back that he and Tal used to go on "adventures" together aka he was 5 and had a stick and she put up with him. He's not sure if he fished. Hopefully that's not weird. Elsword has sort of puzzled together that he's in the past by now.] Fishing is fun. Elijah will probably like it.

[He turns to the water and looks down into it, like he's looking for fish, but he's looking for the sparkles. Are they in reaching distance?]

[Nice. Elsword's gonna go swimming later.]

I dunno, I can fish with my bare hands. I just wouldn't teach a little kid to do that.

[WOULD YOU, THOUGH, ELSWORD... he super would teach a small child to catch fish with his bare hands.]

I could probably catch whatever's out there with the glowing bits. Do you see that?

Whaaaa— why not!

[Elboys are like this in every timeline lbr. It was his aspiration to be part of the town guard in the past, wasn't it? Did he make it, he wonders... he had to have, right? He wouldn't give up on his dreams of swinging a big sword!]

What's the monster anyway? I can deal with it!

[Elsword... is Scruffedâ„¢. He's pouting by the riverside. ...where did the invisi-lijah go.]

Why's a holy spirit being so violent! I don't get that! We should convince it to be our friends at least!!

[Oooh, this is a Guardian... makes sense. Moder was also vicious once! He wonders if she's roaming around out here.]

Well, I don't wanna be a threat to the lake, I just like fishing. [lmao.] Me and Elesis are really good at dealing with this sort of stuff, though!

[The boy... is Pinched.]

'Kayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

[Were this not a memory he would be at this lake at night—]

I'll leave the Guardian alone. We can go back to town if you want, since it's awake.

[Let him and his noble knightly self escort you.]

[Where is your invisible son...]

Yep, let's go. ...what's Elijah like to do these days, anyway? [Let's get the old man's brain focused back on his son, Elsword thinks. The one that ain't him.]

[personal profile] simplicitas 2024-02-20 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhh...

[Oh. Um. Well! Elsword has lost the plot a little but that's okay, he's just like that. This seems to him sort of like when God possesses his brain and says "Elsword do that thing with the El" and he goes "yes ma'am". That's about what he thinks is going on.]

Yeah, you were, but you didn't do anything bad. We were talking about the Lake Guardian and how I'm not allowed to noodle it. And you said you were showing Elijah the lake. ...and it's not like he ever showed up, but you were holding an invisible "him" and saying you were showing him the lake. That's really it.

Um. Well, I don't know, but when I can't remember something, I try asking people around me for help. Maybe someone here knows? Or maybe there's a clue or something left here.

[Genuinely this is The most Elsword idea he's had other than the noodling.]

Heheh, I have sharp ears.

[He tucks his arms back behind his head.]

I think out loud a lot too. Think more. Maybe you can figure it out if you talk at me.
