[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. :)]

Wouldn't that be difficult? I don't see any gods here.

Oho, you can defy by living. By proving you won't be a slave to such whims. ♥

My, my, if that's all it takes, it seems people spend all their lives defying this god without even knowing.

Would you care to live again? ♥

I wasn't aware I was still dead.

You are, my child. ♥ Did you not feel your bones crack before getting here.

Oh, dying is one thing, but staying dead seems quite rare. Is there a difference between this and living?

[The Earl gives him a questioning glance but takes a step back.]

If you wish to remain here, you may. ♥ If you wish to reconsider, I am not difficult to find.

Ah -- wait.

How would I go about living again?

[He's got a terrible feeling about this, but it can't hurt to ask, can it?]

[The fat man smiles wider. Is that even possible?]

Call out your own name. ♥

Is that all? And I simply revive?

[He wishes the warning bells ringing in the back of his head would tell him why he had a bad feeling about this.]

... Revivification isn't the sort of thing someone usually lets a person know about solely out of the goodness of their heart.

Your distrust is understandable, but I live to defy that god. ♥

The power of revival is mine to give, but I can not do it alone. That is your part in the ritual.

"This god," then, is what decided I should stay dead? Hmm.

[His stomach is starting to twist and make him feel sick, but he doesn't want to stick around this place, really, so he tries to hide any discomfort. He opens his mouth to say his name --]

[Then closes it again, puzzled. Oh dear. Give him a minute; it's on the tip of his tongue...]

[....

....

This is the icon I have for you.]

[He remembers that one of his names starts with a 'T' and it's short, at least! ... At least, he's pretty sure. Probably. Well, it's not really a time to be second-guessing himself... but he'll feel terribly silly if he says the wrong name.]

...

...

...

[As casually as possible, he asks:] Do I need my full name?

Yes. ♥

[Oh. Damn. Uh, stalling, stalling while he tries to remember...]

Why do you hate this god so much? [He fakes a smile again.] Surely you have things to do other than wander empty graveyards in search of the occasional lost soul to snatch away from him.

My goals and purpose are my own. ♥ This god has ruled over long enough and should be shown for the false deity he truly is.

What is the line between a god and something merely like a god? ... If I'm here because I'm dead, are you dead, as well?

[Terrence, Thalia, Téo, Ty... Tyki? Right, that's familiar enough. One more name, starts with an M, and that'll be easier to find. This would be easier if Bad News here didn't make him so uncomfortable by just existing.]

I am not dead, my child. ♥ And you ask questions whose answers are filled with riddles.

Every good riddle has some kind of answer to it. You don't seem the one to ask, though.

I only need to say my name to leave, don't I? [He falters slightly when saying his name, like someone trying to say an unfamiliar word they've only just read.]

"Tyki Mikk."

You end up back here

But your skin feels much too tight as if it isn't your own. This may be a normal occurrence for him in particular even if it is more unsettling than usual.
