Parrot said that Lacerta, one of the teams, can do a heart run. They can go into a person's heart because of their patron, Persona. Of course, that's risky cause that whole place would be 'you.' And he says it's possible some psychics could do something.

But he says I need ta tell Heiji. Just...kind of difficult considerin' the impulses I get around my boyfriend and other thin's.

I don't know if how well it'd work, all thin's considered. I mean, I don't remember this place, would that thing really work?

[... boyfriend, impulses... making a few silent assumptions about what kinds of impulses she means]

Maybe not, but at least you wouldn't have to deal with it while you were here, right? [makes a face] I wouldn't automatically resort to a heart game to fix things, either.

[the very concept of heart games makes him twitch]

[Doesn't help Queen would be all for Kazuha acting on those particular impulses.]

...would be nice. I'm probably going ta freak out as soon as I see a Heiji.

Heart games are dangerous. Even if Lacerta is a good team and Heiji's partner team, I wouldn't....if nothin' else, I'd hate ta see what all that death does ta a heart.

It leaves its marks. [blinks] Have you never gone through one before?

[Shakes her head.] Ophiuchus don't play in games. Sometimes we assist in games, but we don't play in them and heart games don't need any of us, considering how challenging a heart can be on their own. At least from what I've heard and understand about it.

Sometimes an Ophiuchus can go inta a game, if they're close with that person that's selected. Or an Ophiuchus can have their heart be up, but I haven't gone through either of those scenarios.

[very different from the knights...]

I've only been through one, so I can't say I'm an expert. My team came out better than we went in, too. We got lucky.

[but he has seen the fallout of bad hearts and knows they can be TERRIBLE plus there's the whole... invasion of privacy thing] We'll ask around here. See if one of our many alternates can come up with a better solution.

[We are all horrible people. >8]

Lacerta has been doin' runs for months and they're a type of team that tries ta show mercy. Besides that, three of their members have been or are in relationships with some Ophiuchus, so they wouldn't hold a grudge against my team. Especially with Heiji on their partner team, so if it has ta be that, they're probably pretty good at it by now.

We might need ta see if any of us get psychic powers or somethin' in other universes. That can happen, maybe...?

[headtilt] Even with that, the mere idea of it doesn't make you uncomfortable?

[then a shrug] If your boyfriend can be a girl in some other universe, of course it can.

That's the only reason I haven't done it. Otherwise I would have already gone ta Lacerta by now ta avoid awkward talks and...things.

...yes, there is...that...

[shoulder pats]

C'mon, I can help you look.

[Appreciate it, Aather bro.]

...which involves ya walkin'.

[no problem, murdercave bro. us color coded amnesiacs gotta stick together]

... no, it involves me gliding across the ground without touching it. 'Course it involves walking.

[Go, go color coded amnesia unity.]

On yer foot.

. . .

You should've named yourself Captain Obvious.

Like Ophiuchus was gonna help me choose a name.

Ya need ta rest when yer injured.

Oi. I have rested. I spent the entire afternoon after I was hurt in bed.

[Stupid, stubborn boys, why are all of them from my world like this?]

Ya could at least use crutches.

[Gosho boy syndrome?]

Crutches are for when you can't walk at all. I can walk just fine.

[WALKING TO PROVE THIS still with a limp]

Crutches or I find a way ta tie a thief ta a bed and get him ta stay.

[Gosho girl plus no impulse control. Threat is totally valid.]

[... BACKING UP 8|;;]

You'd have to catch me first! [which honestly might not be difficult because he is both injured and lacks his crazy canon athletic skills]

[Oh, she isn't even gonna go for the chase because she does believe you might still try those crazy athletic skills anyway.]

[Instead, she just points her hand at the door before he reaches it, the gem in her bracer GLOWING as lightning hits the door.]

Don't make me knock ya out, ahou. I got King's favor last, I don't have Guardian's restraints right now.

[... DID SHE JUST SHOOT LIGHTNING AT ME? I THINK SHE JUST SHOT LIGHTNING AT ME]

-- that doesn't make me want to stay! And after I offered to help you, too!

[YES SHE DID.]

It was only stunning level, ahou! I've seen Jinx ninja around! I'm still tryin' ta keep up with ya ninja people.

[Paaaaaause.] Lightning is a bit dramatic, isn't it? Damn it.... [Growls, rubbing her head in frustration.]

[SO THAT WHOLE NO IMPULSE CONTROL THING.]

[ohgod and he can't ninja around because STUPID PERSONA TAKING STUPID NECESSARY SKILLS ARGH]

Lightning is stupidly dramatic! So is tying me to a bed! [we really need to work on that impulse control]

Ya boys are all stupid, tyin' ya ta a bed is actually pretty reasonable! At the very least, Jinx and Quartz-kun are the ones who started the train of us goin' ta the place, how much less stupid could ya be?!
