[It is dawn or sunset? Hard to tell, but there is the sky above is turning all shades of orange, purple and even some pink here and there. This certainly isn't where you last remembered yourself.

You are currently standing on a platform. To the left is a the sounds of gears moving, people shouting, and people milling about but a thick column of smoke blocks it from view. To the right is a forest of bamboo stalks swaying in the breeze.

Look down and the platform underneath while very thick is made of glass. The room is pink and lacy, frilly, and, oh, ever not so manly at all.]

[ooc: This is open to anyone that comes across it really. Just jump right in. This is a heart game. Think of it as a dungeon crawl through Tyki's heart. Messing with things will have side effects, but that means you should do it anyway. :)]

Very brave of you, Exorcist.

Well, you are back in the ballroom.

[He crosses over to the westernmost curtain and tries to open that, although a little more hesitantly than before.]

This room is full of chains and chords and ribbons of various lengths and colors spanning from one end of the room to the other. Probably dozens or more.

There is also a iron box on the floor.

[Cords and ribbons are fine, but chains. He's really not liking these chains. At all. Before he can close the curtain, though, he spots the iron box, and his curiosity is piqued just enough.]

[He very, very carefully tries to make his way through the room without touching any of the chains to get over to the box. If it's small enough to carry, he'll try to pick it up; if it's very clearly not, he'll just take a closer look there.]

It is unlocked and not bolted to the floor.

[It may be unlocked, but since he can move it, he decides to try to take it out of the chain room and back into the ballroom. He figures he can open it up there.]

You can. Inside are maybe half a dozen ropes, chains and various ribbons that look like they can be strung in the other room.

If you touch any of them, let me know.

Who would put these in a box?

[He picks up one of the ribbons.]

You get a flash of memory. It is of a Road. A mousy one at that. She's sitting with the Earl and the Countess looking guilty. Tyki is addressing the Countess. You can't hear what they are saying, but behind the smile he is showing he is absolutely livid.

Memories, hmm?

[He finds this confusing but intriguing. He reaches for another ribbon and a cord.]

The ribbon is something. Too lazy to think of something. Another Road we'll say.

The cord, however, you'll find is yours. The memory inside is a lot of short flashes. Arguing with you over the former Exorcist. Him dying recently. Basically anytime their fighting went beyond bantering.

[He's getting the impression that any memories attached to these objects will be of that kind of unhappy nature.]

What are his memories doing here, though? [If it's short enough -- not room-crossing length -- he'll coil up the cord and stick it in his pocket. ~~What do you mean, looting isn't appropriate in all situations?~~]

[Regardless of whether he can take the cord, he'll hesitate, then touch a chain.]

The chord fits in your pocket. You STEAL it. Like a bandit person.

The chain is Noah!Miranda. GOSH THERE IS LOTS OF HATE THERE. Dull hate but hate.

[Startled by this sudden HAAAATE regarding Noah!Miranda, but then just sadfacing a bit. He liked her. :( He tries to take the chain, too, although only if he can wind it up tightly enough that he can carry it without it making noise and startling him. If he can't, he'll just leave it out of the box.]

[Regardless of whether or not he takes the chain, he'll leave the box, then head back to the room he took it from. He wants to try to touch a ribbon, cord, or chain there, to see if they're also imbued with the same kinds of memories, or if these were in a box for a reason.]

You take it. And leave the box. Boy, is Tyki going to act funny when you next see him.

You touch a chain and you see a memory of two Tykis on the beach with fireworks and booze. It sounds terribly like a bromance and probably is. But unlike the feelings in the box, this one is very, very positive.

[As far as he knows, right now, this is just the DR being weird. If/when he figures something out, he might at least regret messing around so much.]

[Ah, that one makes him smile. Be glad he doesn't loot that, too. He'll "browse" the memories in this room until a vague sense that it's a little creepy to browse someone'ss memories like this allows his curiosity pulls him back to the ballroom and toward the last curtain.]

This one would be hard to steal, but you wander away eventually.

You end up in a room with a cavern. There is a ledge on this side and a ledge on the other. A very rickety bridge spans it. You'll also get the feeling your powers aren't going to be helpful here.

[This suspicion that he can't use his powers to his advantage is probably more unnerving than the poor state of the bridge. He approaches the start of the bridge, but before he takes a step further, he pulls up the coil of Hate Chain, fusses with it to try to make sure it won't uncoil in a minute, and then tries to toss it toward the center of the bridge. If it can't even hold that much weight, it definitely won't hold him; if it does hold... well, that's something, at least.]

WHY ARE YOU THROWING MY HATE FOR MIRANDA AWAY

WHYYYYYYY

It tosses toward the center and it holds the wait but then due to it being a chain is sort of slides off into the blackness below.

[Sorry, pal! He did try to mess with it in a way that would keep it coiled so he could pick it up again, so he wasn't happy to see that fail, either.]

[He takes a step onto the bridge; if that holds, he'll cross as quickly and steadily as he can, trying not to put too much weight for too long on any given part.]

You make it halfway before it breaks. How good are your reflexes?

[His reflexes are good enough to grab hold of and hang onto part of the bridge.]

[What kind of bridge is it? If it's a rope-and-plank bridge and the rope's snapped, he won't have the reflexes to brace himself before smacking into the cliff on whichever side that rope is attached, but he should still be able to hang on; if it's a rickety wooden or metal sort, such that he just fell through a bad part and the rest is standing, he'll try to clamber back up to the remaining part of the bridge.]

It is of type two so he is able to clamber back on with a board broken where he just fell through.

[Clambering it is. If there's a railing, he'll keep a firm hand on it as he keeps trying to cross.]

You make it across and there is another curtain in front of the door.
