[You’re suddenly in an open, expansive room. It’s huge. If you’re familiar with the setting or have the ability to compare it to something similar, it’s like the interior of a church—pews surround you, all centered around an altar, and all of the normal religious paraphernalia—Bibles, baptismal tools, sacramental wine and bread—is present as well, in its expected place for a church or set up on a table before the altar. The area is for the most part so dark, however, that you cannot clearly see around you for farther than a few feet. It feels like nighttime, but, well, you can’t look beyond the shadows to spy the windows to know for sure...
In this deep darkness, the well-lit altar is like a beacon. Blazing candles encircle it, and you can perceive at least four human-shaped figures standing upon it. Are they alive? Watch long enough, and you’ll understand that they don’t move, shift, or even breathe.
Also, you are dressed like an angel. ( 1 , 2 , 3 , or 4 ) Have fun!
You are directly in the middle of the central aisle, one that leads to the altar. What will you do?]
((game notes!
1) you are welcome to tag in at any time. this heart game will be running from december 10th to december 16th! please realize i have rl responsibilities and will not always be available to tag during the mornings/afternoons of every day, but in general i will be around.
2) my goal is to get everyone to at least one "room" outside of the church, but if that doesn't happen, it's okay! c:
3) this is my first time running a game thing/heart game, so if you notice any major problems or just want to check in with me about something, please do! i am doing my best (exercise_smiley)
4) again, i take comfort levels seriously. never hesitate to pm me if something is too squicky for you. i will change it right away!))

Kirei?
[Speak of the devil (or, little girl). She sounds curious, but it quickly becomes angry. Judgmental. Hateful.]
What are you doing? You're the one who told me this was important.

[ his "voice" is. absurdly quiet. though, it's just in her mind anyway, not a real noise. ]
no subject
Wh-Why are you quiet?
no subject

little shards of something like ceramic are starting to form at the edges of his face ]
I believe my being here was a mistake. Please allow me to take my leave.

You don't have to be so weird.

If you don't really want to spend time with me... you could have just told me.

Y-You said...! I can't believe this. You said you would— [choke, gasp, painfully blubbering kid sob] —sp-spend my first Christmas after Father died with me.
You said he had presents for me! That you were waiting to show me until now...
[She rubs at her eyes, in her pretty dress.]

You've mistaken me for someone else. I am not a person worth your time. I do not know your father nor what he may have left for you...

The light of day is so bright.
The scene whites out, and you wake up back at the altar. You know, where you inadvertently murdered five people, including a baby.
The five bodies are still dead.
Their blood collectively spells a message at your feet. STAB AGAIN TO MOVE ON. You have your knife, don't forget.
The click of a door unlocking also sounds in the distance.]
