Black Gardens

Who: Anyone and everyone who wants to participate
What: Finding and destroying the pieces of heart that Xehanort has planted!
Where: Starting at Sora’s station, then going into the darkness
Warnings: Likely fighting, desperation and other forms of violence


Everyone arriving at Sora’s station of awakening would notice changes right away, even if they weren’t attuned to the darkness. The ever-present light shining from above had grown dim, barely lighting the glass below. The glass itself was still warped in its continual changes, but individual pieces of it were beginning to grow a bit darker.

Someone would have to stay behind to anchor all of the others, and to keep a watch on Sora’s heart from here. But beyond them, in the seemingly endless darkness, lay shards of heart deliberately planted and hidden. With each passing moment they were growing larger and digging roots deeper, threatening not just Sora, but every other heart inside him.

----------------------------------

Your characters can begin the hunt for the heart pieces that Xehanort has planted in the darkness of Sora’s heart! Unfortunately, finding and then eliminating them all is going to be no easy task. They’ve been hidden in the darkness very well, and even having an idea of what to look for, the fact that they’re planted in darkness at all makes them difficult to sniff out. What’s more, because they’ve been rooted in deep, it will take some effort to completely remove them...Keyblades and any other weapons available will likely be necessary.

To that end, this is how things will work: teams of 2-4 will go out into the darkness to search for the heart seeds. Characters should not travel alone, or else they’ll be lost. At least one character can be left behind at Sora’s station, both to serve as an anchor to call back anyone in the darkness, and to be able to tell easiest whether there are any remaining seeds left. But be warned: any anchor left behind will likely be involved in some combat, too!

For those in the darkness, those capable of looking can take one turn each to ‘scan’ the feelings of the surrounding darkness and see if they can pinpoint a heart seed. With each turn, they will have anywhere from a 1-in-3 to a 1-in-10 chance of finding one, depending on the seed. If they locate one, they can then begin the process of uprooting it and destroying it. If they find a particularly difficult one and are not well-equipped to handle it, they can use themselves as anchors to call over others to help. If no team can locate one during their turn, they can keep traversing the darkness and trying over and over until they locate one.

Time is working against them, though. The more turns it takes for them to locate a heart seed, the larger it will grow and the more difficult it will be to destroy it once it *is* found. Heart seeds left for too long may even fight back when attacked, or make themselves impossible to remove without also hurting Sora. If any one piece is left long enough to truly threaten Sora’s heart and identity, then Kingdom Hearts may step in to do something about it...and characters would *not* want that, as it would mean a terrible end for everyone. And Sora’s heart won’t be safe until every heart seed is found and eradicated!

Disney beams when they stumble across their first one in such a short span of time. "Lucky!" Of course the next step was figuring out how to uproot it. Disney reached for the ice cream chain-belt at his waist and unclipped it. Maybe he could lasso it and tug it out like a bad splinter.

He adjusts the belt accordingly and tosses it around the seed. Disney then works on pulling and tugging at the seed with all of his might to get it up and out of the ground.

"Let me see if anything happens if I hit it," Lea suggested. He sounded like Roxas and Xion, now. Did keyblades do something to your brain? He headed over to the root and gave it a slash.

I apologize. Tracking this thread appears to not be working @__@ Here is a late tag

"Good idea! Or magic would probably be a good idea too, right?" Disney waits until Lea has smacked it good with a keyblade before whipping the chain back and shouting, "Blizzard"

The chain shot out, this time coated in ice (appropriate for an ice-cream themed chain) and smacked the seed. He wasn't sure if freezing a darkness seed would have the same effects as freezing a regular seed, but surely it couldn't hurt.

Lea added careful fire blasts to his assault with the keyblade. Hopefully they could get this thing killed and out of here. He made sure to be mindful of his companion; it wouldn't improve anything if he managed to burn his new friend.

At least they now know smacking it hard will work. Disney continued to smack at the seed with his magical chain. He let Lea use his fire and just stuck to physical blows.
