Quiet Mounds: heart game
Feb. 15th, 2018 09:53 pm[So you fell asleep! It's okay, that happens. Everyone's gotta sleep, after all.
But what's important here is that, instead of waking up wherever you were, you will wake up in a rather dark hallway. There are no windows, so the only light comes from the occasional chandelier hanging down from the tall ceiling, casting long shadows that may look like they're moving if you catch them out of the corner of your eye.
Despite how long this hallway is, there are only five doors in total. Two on the left, two on the right, and one right at the end of the hallway. On the left there is a simple wooden door with '1-F' written on it, and a little further down is a sliding rice paper door. On the right there is a steel gate leading to what looks like a dark forest, and then further down is a wooden door with a cross on it. The door at the end of the hall looks like it's made of gold, and there is a bloody handprint on it.
The first four doors are unlocked, but the fifth can't be opened for the time being. You also can't go backwards down the hall, it will eventually end in a solid wall.
Where do you go?]
((OOC: the first four rooms can be explored in any order, so feel free to go about this in whatever way you want! There will be differences depending on the order in which you explore things though.))

Date: 2018-02-16 03:44 am (UTC)There's about 30 or so students lounging around the classroom. Some are studying, but most of them are chatting with one another. Notably, only two of the students seem to notice Genji at all. The rest continue about as if Genji isn't there. The first boy tries to look like he's studying, but he's being very skittish and glances in Genji's direction every now and then. The other is sitting on the windowsill eating candy while staring Genji down. So Genjo could talk to either of those people, or he could look around the room and see what there is to see.
What will Genji do?]

Could you perhaps tell me where I am?

Date: 2018-02-16 03:59 am (UTC)[ He recognizes none of this which is really weird, but going to slide cautiously over to the second door on the right with a cross on it. This looks safe. ]

Date: 2018-02-16 04:13 am (UTC)But that door leads to, surprise surprise, a church! It seems to be a local community church too, and definitely one in Japan as well. The bibles, they all have kanji on them.
There are two people in the church at the moment: the head priest, who is currently wiping down the pews with wood polish, and a small boy who is making sure that there is one bible and one book of hymns in each book slot. Normal cleaning for a church, probably.
They don't immediately react to Kida's presence, but they could probably be spoken to!]

Ask something more interesting. Or fight me."
[That is when the other boy finally speaks up.]
"P-Please don't fight in the classroom..."

no subject
Date: 2018-02-16 05:32 am (UTC)It is a very lovely church though, if a bit small. Definitely meant for a small community of Catholics.
The head priest is around, cleaning up and making the church look nice. He has a little helper too, though that little kid gets instantly shy when he sees Kevin.
The priest, on the other hand, stops with his cleaning to give Kevin his full attention.]
"I never expected someone like you to come here."

Date: 2018-02-16 08:22 am (UTC)[ He hesitates for a moment but steps in, calling out in a subdued voice, since he's sure churches don't appreciate loud and sudden yelling. ]
Excuse meeee?
no subject
Date: 2018-02-16 01:23 pm (UTC)"Ah?"
[That's the priest speaking. When he looks up, he seems to recognize Kida.
When he speaks, it's with an amused but friendly voice. ]
"Aah, it's the playboy! I didn't expect you to come here first."
no subject
Date: 2018-02-17 12:09 am (UTC)Someone like me? I know I'm ordained Angelican, but a church is a church.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-17 12:22 am (UTC)[For what it's worth, the priest seems more amused than anything else. Kevin is in no danger here, not from these two at least.]

Date: 2018-02-17 12:45 am (UTC)"It's ironic you came here first, though. He never really told you about us, did he?"
no subject
Date: 2018-02-17 01:20 am (UTC)Is that his brother?

Date: 2018-02-17 01:46 am (UTC)"That's right. This is Yukio, the younger twin."

Date: 2018-02-17 01:58 am (UTC)"Ha! And here I thought Rin was the immodest twin. I guess there's more of me in this one here as well."
no subject
Date: 2018-02-17 02:33 am (UTC)But I'm afraid you have me at a little bit of a disadvantage. Rin didn't mention your name, Father...?

Date: 2018-02-17 02:38 am (UTC)[And as nice as this chat is, unfortunately Shiro can't keep up with the small talk.]
"How well do you know Rin, exactly? He always blabs about the 'half-demon' stuff, so I'm sure that's no surprise, but he never really talks about how it affects him."
