Have you ever been in Aather? Have you ever played a Heart Game? If you haven't, that's the guide for building your own, but here are the basics of this meme!

-Plan out the layout of your character's heart.
-Post with the entranceway into your character's heart.
-Other characters will enter and start making their way around more-or-less blindly trying not to (or trying to?) screw anything up.
-Remember, changes can and do happen and affect later entrants as well!
-Why is this happening? That's something you can decide based on 'well it's a meme' or 'trying to work this with game canon' or whatever.
-I'm not really good at explaining things, but this Heart Game shows a bit of how a successful game is organized.

Floor 4: Arena

[alephbet]

[This floor opens into a wide arena, with cheering spectators filling up the stands. The ground of the arena is littered with bodies, and the man who's covered in bloody bruises but remains standing turns to look at you as you enter.]

What are you doing here?

[Aleph's hand rests on his sheathed sword hilt.]

[technologic]

[Well shit. She tenses up at the hand on the swords hilt, now on her guard.]

Wha-... Aleph?

[alephbet]

You shouldn't be here. This is my heart, not all of it is safe.

[He's clearly on edge here. The spectators are still cheering for him...]

[technologic]

[What he says, plus all the spectators, is clearly making April a bit nervous.]

... I... I still want to try and help, even if it isn't safe.

[alephbet]

I don't need the help- I don't want to hurt you, April.

[technologic]

Do you have to hurt me? [Still, she's starting to wish she had brought a weapon with her, due to thinking just her powers would be enough.]

[alephbet]

[Aleph bites his lip before drawing his sword. Still, he doesn't move further to attack yet.]

[technologic]

[April frowns, but she makes no move to put up any sort of defense or anything. She has no intentions of fighting him.]

[alephbet]

[After a moment, Aleph sticks his sword in the ground. The crowd immediately starts booing and jeering, but Aleph ignores them.]

You might want to take that up with you. [He nods his head towards the staircase and elevator.]

[technologic]

[She relaxes slightly and hesitantly moves a bit closer.]

... The sword? Are you sure?

[alephbet]

Yeah. You'll need it more than I do here.

[The men around him look quite dead, and the spectators haven't left their seats.]

[technologic]

R-right... [Just gonna pull the sword out of the ground, holding it uneasily in her hands.]

... Will you... be okay here?

[alephbet]

Don't worry about me, April. I've been here longer than you have.

[technologic]

[She looks unsure, but then slowly nods and starts to head towards the stairs, taking one last glance back at Aleph before heading up.]

[alephbet]

[The next floor is even less comforting.]

[crouching_sin]

Exploring.

[He'd passed through the other sections, not very interested, but this - this was interesting.]

[alephbet]

Don't you think you should get out instead?

[Naoya if your roles were reversed you would be so, so much more pissed off.]

[crouching_sin]

[This is true.]

Perhaps. But it's quite the enlightening experience. Freud and Jung would be having a field day.

[alephbet]

I'm glad you find it so entertaining.

[Yeah his sword is out now.]

[crouching_sin]

Mm. Testy, aren't we?

[Yeah he's not worried at all.]

[alephbet]

Just a little.

[Asshole.]
