[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!))

[It's just hanging out there, wherever you dropped it.

Yes, she can be carried and positioned a different way.]

[r18plus]

[She'll just move them side by side then. Maybe try to pick the knife up again and try to drop that inside the drawer so she doesn't look at it.]

I don't get it. What am I supposed to be doing?

[wwjd]

[Everything stays that way. Even the biting urge for suicide from the knife doesn't quite come back as fiercely.

You feel happy, though, especially if your eyes linger on Kirei and the Wife.

You could move them around again, or you can explore the darker corners of the room that the candlelight doesn't touch. Of course, you can also feel done.]

[r18plus]

[She'll go check the darker corners. No point moving them again if she doesn't know where this is going.]

[wwjd]

[There's nothing, really, in the corners of the room—nothing worthy of much note, anyway.

Ah, but in one of them, reclining over some dirty, misplaced sheets, is a naked puppet of Gilgamesh.]

Throws a blanket on him. Gods.]

[wwjd]

[If you're done here, there's the door to the bedroom!]

[r18plus]

[Bedroom it is!

What secrets do you have in store for me?]

[wwjd]

[oops, i meant the door out of the bedroom, like the door in this bedroom that leads to outside of it... sorry!

The scene whites out, and you wake up back at the altar.

The body of the "Loving Teacher" is still dead.

His blood collectively spells a message at your feet. STAB AGAIN TO MOVE ON.

The click of a door unlocking also sounds in the distance.]

[...]

I'm so sorry I did this to a fellow educator. I'll be really mad if you're not the actual traitor.

[Stabs the dead guy anyway. She... might as well.]

[The altar whites out, and you wake up somewhere else.]
