HEARTLESS
“some are born with broken hearts, and some are born with no heart at all. and how tragic it must be when the brokenhearted meets that empty space and whispers, “here, take mine. i’ve never had much use for it anyways.”
this is what they'd call dystopia, the old folks of before. the old folks whose tales and mistakes were written down and typed onto now yellowed papers of text, so we'd survive them and write down our own stories and never be like them (tripping over trivial things, dropping bombs, shooting guns)- but did they ever consider, 'what'd happen, when we make more mistakes we can fix, more errors than rightings?'
(this is what they called dystopia,) this is what we call life.
in the future, not everyone is graced with a heart of their own. they're rarely in good condition (the exception being, the descendants of the originals), broken and battered and bruised. traded, given, thrown away. hearts are like keys, they hold the chance, the possibility of emotion, and emotion has the ability to scar and ruin- (that's no good; what if the sympathizers fall in love? absurd; that'd just cause more trouble). those with hearts, those sympathizers, often sell them off, the government backing their choices with promises of safety. their minds are of the idea that emotions bring danger, and they've been through enough danger to last lifetimes.
our hands hold gold, but our hearts are cold (or rather, nonexistent).
RED QUEEN AU RP
- starts with queenstrial, but is interrupted by entrance of rebel reds
- double-agent participant omg
- twin heirs?? (one girl/one boy, one boy/one boy shrug)
+ fire-breathin calores ofc
+ one calore in with the reds tho and doesn't flake
- six-eight participants (chicks and dudes welcome)
- (here comes the seventh/eighth) optional red participants
[basic premise]
fast-forward some years -some births of new fire-breathers in between- and the scarlet guard has been properly extinguished (pardon the pun), meaning, they got with they want, via a treaty with the royals. the world of silvers is now at peace once more, but with the addition of elected reds to the mix; they bring extra color into the king's court as well as in both castles. the house calore is renovating much of the kingdom of norta, from silvers to reds; rebels are still relevant, however in smaller numbers and nowhere near the numbers or level of in-depth organization of the scarlet guard. the queenstrial is still active, as the king argues it's a tradition to be upheld, and besides- it's one of the factors leading him to finding his beloved, electrifying queen (insert heart text symbol here). his sons have come to age, eligible to find their own lovers in a batch of (mostly) less haughty silvers and a few descendants of high-ranking reds.

your boat begins to approach the summer palace, and the captain slows the boat in order to allow his passengers to admire the craftsmanship of the castle. it's bleak; it blinds you, sends shocks of brilliant whites that fade out slowly in your vision- this is to be your home for the next two months. it's nothing special, you've been to the main castle and it is now less grand than the own in front of you now, but your fingers itch from anxiety; luckily no one notices the tremor of your fingers or your scrutinizing eye inspecting the palace. even if you're no fan of modern architecture or even architecture at all, you have come to appreciate its cutting-edge pillars, the diamond glass installed. it is grand, it is looming. it screams royalty; do not touch! beware!, and you can't help but look around and tell yourself, this will not be my last visit here. i plan to strive, i plan to rule this place- i plan to be silver royalty.

calm. calmcalmcalmcalmclamcamlamc- calm. it's just all the other noble silvers coming for another visit, right? it's not anything important, or a life-or-death situation, or choice- right? stop fooling yourself, goddam- your mind doesn't finish that curse, it leaves it hanging in the air, adding to the already-weighty atmosphere. it's a little hot, you notice, and it smells like it's burning, somehow, something. hands. hands, they're- manipulating fire, it dances in your palms, the light of their flickering gleams in the twin bracelets you wear. you shut them off, immediately, rubbing your warm palms together. and is that sweat? no, it must've been from the fire, the royalty do not sweat, they're- we, you hastily correct yourself- invincible, almost inhumane. your hands tremble at the door of your bedroom. you cast one last look back at your room, a quiet goodbye to all things normal and easy and comfortable. you hear the click of the door as it turns the knob, you release that breath you were holding in a shaky motion, smiling fakely at your guard before he escorts you to welcome your guests.
