Okay, so basically I babbled a bit about this in chan and on plurk, but IT'S TIME FOR AN OFFICIAL WRITE-UP.

Basically, I will be only babbling about the rooms that DID get hit in this run. I'll pobably mention or allude to other rooms. Again, I know the run rather long--sorry about that! I honestly didn't expect half the reactions I got and just like I thought, juggling the different areas got a bit troublesome after a bit. Orz orz. This is why I don't run games. I am TERRIBLE at organizing. Or when I do organize, I end up tossing a lot of it to the wind and wing it.

... which you will see I did a lot of that here. Derp.

SO THANKS ALL FOR INDULGING ME AND SORRY FOR THE LENGTH, I HOPE EVERYONE STILL HAD FUN?!

If not, you can always just. Thwack me with a fish (OOCly!) or something. :B

So basically, this story starts with Hydracula getting drunk and Lucky thinking that the best way to get rid of a phobia is via summoning Persona for a heart-game...

I had to Google-doc it was so long D8! (If you read all of this, ilu forever ♥)

... and now I open the floor for QUESTION MEME: Kaito, Izaya, and Aven

Relationship~

. . . IT'S SO COMPLICATED NOOOOW.

B-basically, Kaito is a whole lot of dere for the kid. I mean, he's always kind of had a soft spot for him because he thinks that Arson hates him because of the whole Replacement Issue thing and tiny Vulp is tiny... but yeah. The heart run definitely has made him a lot more fond of Arson (though he doesn't quite know WHY exactly). Except there's also a part of him that's a bit nervous and still think Arson doesn't like him and stuff so...

Yeaaaah.

But yes, everything for the tiny Vulp 8|a;;

... though he might. Have a few objections about some of the heart antics if Arson tells him about them. idk. But yes. Still. All the dere. Teammate dere. With a side of UNSURE???

Did Arson take the fedora and smoke bombs and such with him outside the heart? 8|a;;;;?

....yes maybe >.>;;

THINGS GOT HECTIC YA KNOW!!! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

Izaya on current state of Sabra?

I actually babbled about this a bit on plurk!

Basically, Izaya is seeing more and more that things are starting to tilt toward CRAZY END-TIMES and he's not sure if he's in the right spot to get out of it safely, exactly. He's holding his cards pretty close to his chest at this point, hence why he turned down Queen's offer (by claiming that he has sworn to serve King and Horn and King would be first and foremost, his service can't be spread so thinly) and then ended up thinking that was all a dream or something until Nishi admitted to making DUMB MISTAKE involving Queen. Which Izaya is still judging him for.

Basically, it was thanks to insight from Nishi's experience with a previous seek-and-find mission (the one that recovered Queen's seal) that Izaya started to get a better idea of what was going on during that last mission. Izaya figures that Queen was trying to take out a Judge--or at the very least one-up them, which is a bad thing from what he's seeing of things. Especially considering what he's know about Queen and then later when seeing the reaction his ~~terrible decision making~~ teammate freak out and get sick a bit.

Where's Izaya's real alliance in all of this?

With the Blanks.

... I shit you not, he would rather throw his lot in with the blanks. THIS IS IN NO WAY BECAUSE HE IS A GOOD PERSON and has everything to do with his love for humans and also survival. While he knows that staying as King's servant means that he is safe for the shot term, he knows that it means he's not safe in the long term. Especially since Queen appears to be pulling some hilarious politics on the side that has even GUARDIAN worried about the safety of Ophiuchus.

But yes. Izaya doesn't like Queen, he serves King out of necessity, and Horn out of convenience--but truly, Izaya would be more willing to help out blanks at this point. Mostly to see what they would do with certain information (Izaya's actually considered trying to get at that disk that Nishi mentions (Queen's seal) and try to get the blanks to have a go at it, but it's entirely too risky, but now the idea is to anticipate King and Queen's separate movements--which Izaya's somewhat capable of).

tl;dr: Izaya is the last person you would expect to consider betraying King (not because he's loyal, but more because he's practical about survival and knowing King's got more of a chance at winning than the blanks do) and yet it is entirely possible. ... and he has no clue what betraying King would do to him (hurhur Ophiuchus lolol). For now, he's going to keep sharp attention on what's going on around him and in Sabra. He's been letting things slide a little for some time, but with that bit of a wake-up call, he's going to be a LOT more nosy.

Red's thoughts on the current state of Sabra?
