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.

"I know. And I'll be there for you."
... But Add's not one for contact, so he backs up again, lingering only in case Add decides to initiate anything himself.
"The memories will be... odd. You may be observers, or you may take the place of someone, if not yourselves. I may not realize you're there until later, too. Just do what feels natural. I'll be fine."
no subject
Maybe... he'll allow himself to be a little clumsier, next time.
But for now, he exhales softly once the contact ends. Dynamo floats back into the air, recharged.
"Alright, then. What happens next?"
no subject
It's as easy as that.
"Or, if you want to look around the aftermath, we can do that for a bit. ... Just... not too long, please? I don't..."
He trails off, but shakes his head. If you want to see some past life corpses fresh now is the time.
no subject
...
"Hah, no. I think I've made you dwell on this long enough." As much as he wants to dissect a corpse just to see if Heimr can somehow remember specific details about the internals... no, that would be a little rude.
He's being so good today, please be proud of him.
no subject
"Alright then. ... Add? Thank you. I know this ain't your choice, but... it was nice. Bein' able to walk away."
And with that, he holds out his hand. When Add takes it, a light shines- and then it fades back to familiar smoke and cinnamon.
