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.

He drags a hand down his face, keeping his other arm around Mizuki protectively. When he moves his hand away though, his eyes are a familiar glowing gold, rather than the green of Aldric.
"... If I had known, I probably woulda sabotaged their gear. Never wanted to hurt anyone. ... Even if sometimes they deserve it. But Gods, I wish I'd known."

No one prepared you for what you were going to go through, Mister Heimr. There was no way you could've known. And yet, you still did the best you could, and you still didn't give up after everything had happened.
…
And that is enough. Thank you, Mister Heimr.
no subject
"Mizuki... Thank you. I think I'll always carry this with me but- shit, you did know what they were walking into, and you still couldn't stop them. Is it bad that that's a lil comfortin'?"
no subject
But, um, I was afraid of messin' up your memory or anything like that if I had tried…
no subject
A beat, and then-
"Bought him a mini cheesecake for it. Though, I admit I do worry about your methods sometimes."
no subject
…What's there to worry about, specifically? People have mentioned that before, but I'm not sure I understand why.
no subject
But he shrugs, one arm still around Mizuki in a hug as they sit at the table. He hums softly before looking back to him.
"I'm proud of you, for how you handled things though. Are you ready for the next step?"
no subject
[ Yeah, you know, totally normal stuff! ]
Step? Is there steps here? Should I be ready?
no subject
Hm. What happened to his little boy? And why is he royal?
That is a joke.
Honestly maybe Heimr should be worried given the rather chaotic nature of the people in his heart? But he isn't.
"I can't let people out normally, so all you can do is go forward through my memories. You'll either be able to interact with them like this- as yourself or in a role, like this. Just do what feels natural- don't worry 'bout messin' anything up. You can't change the past, all I'll get is a... hopefully nice daydream."
no subject
Oh… um, but will you still be here? If I go forward, I mean…

You gotta promise you’ll be there. I don’t wanna be alone.

Aldric wraps his arms around Mizuki though. It must feel strange, hugging a human man and not the giant mass of shadow in a humanoid shape- but he still holds Mizuki the same way, rests his chin on top of his head.
"Promise."
no subject
[ There’s a small nod, but it takes him a moment or two to actually let go of him. ]
How do I… take the next step?
no subject
"Take my hand. You'll be with the rest soon."
Once Mizuki does so, everything fades away and he'll find himself in the smoke and the smell of cinnamon once more, others waiting for him.
