Herbert's Mindscape

-Samantha nods-

That Alakazam...I'm guessing you're the rational one.

Samantha's Mindscape

-Tactician shakes her head-

Recursive stairways. Eldritch things. I think whoever created this place just got bored.

Child: Hai, mister! I've never seen you before! :3

Herbert's Mindscape

-Blue!Herbert gives a small nod.-

Blue!Herbert: You could call me that, yes. My name is Blue, and I represent logic. Reason. Intelligence. All the characteristics which the other aspects so clearly lack. Anyway, do come in. No point in standing outside in the rain.

-He leads Samantha into the libary, which, despite its considerable size, appears to be quite cramped due to the high density of bookshelves packed together. After wandering through the almost mazelike structure for a few moments, Blue!Herbert finally locates his desk, upon which several books from the shelves are out and open.-

Samantha's Mindscape

-Herbert kneels down until he is at eye level with Childish!Samantha.-

Herbert: You haven't? Well, you can call me Herbert, and I'm your boyfriend! ...Wow that sounds a whole lot creepier when I'm talking to a little kid.

Deziree: Don't worry about it, Mao's a lot worse. So, Dune told me about your... recent changes. I have to say, your new wardrobe is really cool.

Herbert's Mindscape, The Library

Blue!Herbert: Memories. If you are wondering why we require an entire library to store them, it is because most of them are little more than useless trivia and needless fluff. Separating the important memories from trivial details is the task that falls to me, the curator of this place.

-He adjusts his glasses and examines Samantha curiously.-

Blue!Herbert: Now then... you have questions, I assume?

Samantha's Mindscape

-Herbert flails mentally.-

Herbert: Well... they're kind of like normal friends, only with a boyfriend you like them a lot more and do things like kiss them and I'm going to stop talking now before Chris Hansen sits me down for a little chat.

-He takes off in the direction that Tactician!Samantha indicated at a brisk pace.-

-Blue!Herbert raises an eyebrow at Samantha.-

Blue!Herbert: Curious about what? You will have to be rather more specific if you want me to provide relevant or useful information.

Samantha's Mindscape

-Herbert is indeed sucker punched and falls to the floor, nursing his cheek.-

Herbert: OW! Oi, what the hell was that for? You could've broken my jaw!

-Samantha holds out her arms-

All of this! There is a city in my boyfriend's mind!

Samantha's Mindscape

-out of the door steps a (decidedly more colorful fashion-wise) Samantha. She has a white rose in her hair, with some red splotches on the petals-

Romantic!Samantha: Ah! A new arrival! My new boyfriend has been wonderful, and yet my thirst for worthy opponents hasn't waned~

-Tactician calls down the hall-

She's both the romantic and the violent aspect! Roll out of the way, just a protip!

-Romantic!Samantha, with a lovestruck grin on her face, lifts a leg to axe kick Herbert in the face-

Herbert's Mindscape, The Library

Blue!Herbert: Well, general inquiries are not my forte, but I can try to familiarise you with your current surroundings.

-He sits himself down at his desk and starts leafing through one of the books.-

Blue!Herbert: This place is known as a Mindscape, and this particular Mindscape belongs to Herbert. It is inhabited by seven Aspects which represent different facets of his personality, of which I am one. The others are Red, representing anger, Green, representing innocence, Grey, representing dickishness, Purple, representing romance, Yellow, representing morality, and White, who represents... well, he is something of a special case. In any case, each Aspect usually frequents a particular landmark - for instance, the Library in which we currently find ourselves is my domain in particular. Any questions so far?

Samantha's Mindscape

-Herbert blinks incredulously at Tactician!Samantha.-

Herbert: ...Are you freaking kidding me? Remind me never to get into bed with this girl...

-He hastily rolls out of the way of the axe kick and scrambles to his feet, swinging at Romantic!Samantha with a Force Palm as he does.-

ACK!

F-fine! You did a good job!

-she blows a kiss and retreats back int her room-

-from another door, the sound of crying can be heard-

Herbert's Mindscape, The Library

-Blue!Herbert produces a map from one of his desk drawers and hands it to Samantha. It looks just like any other map of Eterna City, only this particular map has seven locations circled in red marker.-

Blue!Herbert: There are seven main landmarks here in the Mindscape - the Library, the Dojo, the Statues, the Gym, the Galactic Building, the Forest, and the Manor. The Manor is where the only known exit is located, but it is also the most dangerous location in the Mindscape due to it housing Herbert's Fears. I would recommend that you seek out an escort before heading there.

Samantha's Mindscape

-Herbert looks rather surprised at Romantic!Samantha's sudden departure.-

Herbert: ...Well, that was a lot easier than I thought I'd be. Guess this place might not be lethal as I thought.

-He then hears the crying coming from the nearby door, raises a curious eyebrow, then slowly moves to open it.-

-Samantha thinks-

I've seen Red. I'll look for the others. Where do I find...let's say Purple?

Samantha's Mindscape

-the room he sees is bare but for a version of Samantha huddled in the corner, sobbing. Mostly incoherent, some words are able to be heard, such as "worthless", "inadequate", and "failure"-

Blue!Herbert: Purple can usually be found in the Gym, tending to his flowers.

-He gives Samantha a rather searching look over the edge of his glasses.-

Blue!Herbert: Oh, and if you are seeking out Purple due to ulterior motives on your part, I should warn you that he may not be what you are expecting. He is certainly no biblical Lust, I will say that much.

-He goes back to leafing through his book.-

Samantha's Mindscape

-Herbert simply stares at the sobbing Samantha for a few moments, at a loss for how to react, before eventually taking a step towards her.-

Herbert: Hey, uh... you feeling alright? Actually, wait, that's a stupid question... better question, what's wrong?

Lina: Is that... A Key Stone?

Herbert's Mindscape, The Gym

-A figure with slicked-back hair and a startlingly garish purple tuxedo pops his head out of a patch of massive flowers.-

Purple!Herbert: Ah, mon cherie! Truly, your presence here is like ray of sunlight that pierces through the dark and tumultuous skies of our soul... but alas, it had to come at a time when our heart cannot decide whether or not to commit itself to love...

-He places the back of his hand against his forehead and gives a dramatic sigh, completely without irony.-

Samantha's Mindscape

-Herbert rather nervously wraps an arm around Miserable!Samantha, still looking rather uncertain about how to handle the situation.-

Herbert: Hey, don't say that. Sure, I'll admit that becoming champion is kind of an unrealistic goal... but I'm not planning on leaving you any time soon, I can say that much.

-she spins around and leaps at Herbert, appearing ready to tear out his throat with her teeth. She's still sobbing-

Purple!Herbert: Indeed! Love is a fickle thing, and our affections wax and wane as frequently as the phases of the moon. But for now, let us savour the simple pleasure that is each other's company! For even though love is fleeting and never eternal, one must learn to seize it wherever they can.

-He takes Samantha's hand and plants a kiss on the back of it.-

Samantha's Mindscape

-Herbert is taken completely off-guard by the sudden change in Miserable!Samantha's demeanour and goes sprawling to the floor.-

Herbert: Wait, wha- GAH!

-He instinctively reacts with a flailing Force Palm.-
