Noise.

It starts as just irritation. A metaphorical crawling under your skin. Things are too noisy, too bright, there is too much happening all the time and you can't take it all in-

Then silence it, make it yours, make it you, take control and destroy what will not submit

It sounds so inviting, a freedom from the noise, but its wrong, its wrong, its wrong and the noise is getting louder, mechanical and foreboding as it sees you, it knows you are there, and it wants to make you apart of it.

For a moment, there is quiet.

You breathe.

And fall through water.

Rules
1. Powers are not inherently active.
1A. Save for Hamato Ninpo, but Specific Powers are not working right. Like mindmeld is a go, mystic form and portals are not.
1B. It is possible to get back your powers, but that is up to your character to figure out.

2. Non-magic based skills are still a go! If it doesn't come from some weird mystic, ill defined in your body mojo, its fine. So physical based abilities are up. Tool based with outside sources abilities are up.

3. Everyone has a Hindrance of some sort. If they're affected by the magic rule, that can be the hindrance. If they are not, then its something else. It can range from a full on disability to an inconvenience, such as the range of vision is fuzzy to outright blindness. The idea is the character will likely have to compensate for this hindrance at one point or another. If Donnie is already aware of a hindrance your character has, this rule does not have to apply. But if the exceptions to the rule want extra hindrance, you do you fam.

4. There is Crafting in this heart that is akin to video games. This works one of two ways. Experimentation is key and can either get an item, or recipe. An item comes from a character taking items and being able to justify why they go together to get a specific item out of it. If the logic is sound enough, the item will be gained. If the logic is not, however, the character will get a recipe for either a use of those ingredients, or a recipe for the item they want if the Heart can determine what would Make It. Luckily if you try to make a gun in the Heart, the Heart will not make you make a full gun yourself. You just put the ingredients together and Heart will do the actual work.
EXAMPLE: You want A Gun. Obtain metal, charcoal, and limestone. Craft them together and Get Gun.
4A. Physical objects are not the only thing that can be crafted.

5. Make your own paths.

[You find yourself coming above the water on a riverbank.]

[The whole of the surroundings are dark, the base color black, but the environment is filled with objects outlined in purple light. Though at times, the purple has shifted away from purple and into a pink color. The shapes of everything are also all very...]

[Square]

[Its minecraft. You're in a neon minecraft.]

[Beyond the strangeness of the setting, you can see an assortment of terrain around you. You currently find yourself on a river bank and immediately ahead of you is trees and various other flora. Some seem to belong in a park. Other seems to belong in a jungle. There are also some absolutely massive pumpkins. Beyond that, you can see tall buildings, like urban apartment buildings, though overgrown with what appears to be plants.]

[Across the river, you can see what looks like an old train station, less overgrown, with a train half off the tracks, and not far, what appears to a fenced off power station.]

[To the left, you can see what looks like a craggy quarry, that has what looks like a junkyard scattered about, with junked machines amongst the rocks.]

[To the right is lights, more neon lights, and you can hear music and is that a skate park?]

[There is a singular chest near you.]

[There is a word carved on it: Halfway]

[ . . .

>open chest ]

[It opens with ease!]

[And inside, you see a crafting table???]

[Its about the size of a milk crate and its full of tools and a blank book that says 'Recipes' on the cover.]

[ opening the book . . . seeing it's blank . . . ok. can I like. pocket this book. actually let me check to see what kind of video game mechanics are even around right now. do I have an inventory. ]

"Building blocks", Donnie? Cute.

[she's already missing an eye and has a lame leg, what else is there but the interruption to her powers? which she expected. because why not.]

[she is going to open the chest awhile, however. just to see.]

[Donnie knows what he's about.]

[It opens with ease!]

[And inside, you see a crafting table???]

[Its about the size of a milk crate and its full of tools and a blank book that says 'Recipes' on the cover.]

[Not quite a normal inventory, but as soon as he's interacting with the stuff, POP!]

[The crafting table disappears and now it is a selectable menu. Crafting materials can be stored here. Not recommended to store your other stuff unless you want to craft them.]

[ hmm. ok so he's going to want to craft things here. let's go to the craggy quarry— ]

[going to take a quick look through the recipe book, see what's already in there and if that's going to t - ah. it's blank. of course.]

"Halfway." Halfway to where, you smartass?

[she's just going to rifle through the tools and see if she can find anything that looks like a wood-cutting axe or anything with an edge on it. anything.]

Edited 2023-02-13 22:29 (UTC)

[ —winces, leg stiff ]

[ . . . okay

carefully walking to the craggy quarry. ]

[That is always the question, isn't it?]

[There is indeed an axe. Basic tools are amongst the crafting table's selection and upon interaction]

[It pops out of existence and there is now a selectable menu for the crafting table and storage for crafting materials. Not recommended for your stuff unless you're crafting.]

[Life is suffering sometimes.]

[There is the craggy quarry! Its full of rocks, ores, and old machines, from cars to appliance to game consoles. Its a modern day junkyard.]

[ hm. well

can I .......... put a game console into the crafting table inventory ]

[Crafting Material: Gaming Console]

[ Right. Okay. Corruption stuff, minecraft, why not. One thing at a time.

Raph's here to help so that's exactly what he's gonna do.

But first he's gonna open the chest. ]

[Do you expect different from Donnie, really]

[It opens with ease!]

[And inside, you see a crafting table???]

[Its about the size of a milk crate and its full of tools and a blank book that says 'Recipes' on the cover.]

[ COULD I FIND A SMARTPHONE IN THE JUNKYARD TO COMBINE IT WITH THE GAMING CONSOLE AND MAKE LIKE IDK A PHONE THAT IS ALSO A GAMING CONSOLE we're just fucking around first ]

[YES]

[YES YOU CAN]

[Phone + Gaming Console = Mega Gaming Tablet]

[talking to herself as she moves about. tentatively she twirls the axe a little ... then makes for a tree, to hack at it and see if square trees can be chopped into like normal ones.]

Turtle, turtle, turtle ... I don't know a whole lot about turtles. I bet I know who would, but they're not here right now and I can't get hold of them from here, either. I do know what a ninja is, though. Thanks, lessons learned from reading too many otherwise horribly boring books in my misspent youth. Thanks, dad, for making me read them.

If I were a teenage ninja turtle, then ... where would I consider "comfortable" ... and where would I want to put my most dangerous part of me if I felt simultaneously like I had to master everything around me and like I had to fight that impulse with everything I've got?

[ He expects the unexpected, which is to say he doesn't know what he expected. But it IS very Donnie.

PICKING UP THE TABLE AND BOOK because they're there. ]

[ cool.

ok there wasn't really a meaningful reason to make that except that he wanted to try it. let's see about making something more useful . . .

i want to ~~captchalogue~~ crafting table inventory a car and then various rocks and ores. is my crafting table strong enough to hold all of these things ]

[AXE INTO THE TREE]

[And it only takes one hit and now the tree is gone and wood is now in her craftables inventory.]

[All very, very good questions.]

[There are also square creatures chittering, watching her. They seem to be beavers and squirrels?]

[POP]

[Welcome to having a crafting menu and an inventory for crafting material. Don't put your mask in there or its gone forever as being a crafting item.]
