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.

to livio's credit, he isn't forgetting the gun. not with that thing somewhere out there. he wouldn't stand a chance without a weapon.

he thinks arguing with aldric wouldn't go anywhere. probably would just stress him out more. so instead he focuses on keeping an eye on him as they go, to gauge his wellbeing over time.

aldric may take livio's hand, but liv is the one who pulls him toward the clinic.

when they're close enough that shouting wouldn't grab the entire grove's attention, he does call out. not yelling, but louder than most folks around here have ever heard his voice.

"Miss Grace! We're comin' in!"

"Heimr," livio the man breathes in recognition, then freezes up. he looks down at himself, genuine shock on his face when he sees just how big and bulky he's become. even when he remembers who he is, not just who he was, he feels maybe two inches to the left of his own body. not quite all there.

there was more. there will be more.

of course he has to face it, regardless of whether he's ready. if he waits until he's ready in every sense, it will be too late. he takes a deep breath, chest shaking ever so slightly.

"... Yeah. I am."

it's been so long since anyone looked at him like that. in this current life, maybe only one person has before now. he has to fight back yet more tears as he reaches for the offered hand.

"Love you, too, pops."
