“I always thought humans were meant to hurt each other."
Our story begins with six normal friends. Normal people, living normal lives, in simple serenity. Each one of them holds a secret; but masks this with the general content of the normal life they wish to have. It was only of natural instinct for a man to expose these secrets. What could he do to achieve this goal? What could a human being do to spice things up among this seemingly picturesque group?
But of course, Heartseed is no ordinary man, nor human. He is a drifting soul. A drifting soul, that is, with extraordinary power. He has the ability to switch the souls of multiple human beings at any his every whim. His abilities do not stop there. No, Heartseed also has the gift to unleash the desires or urges of others that they normally suppress.
Many would think it of Heartseed to use his powers for evil, the complete and utter destruction of the world as he knew it to be. Contrary to this popular belief, Heartseed simply uses his power to entertain himself. He breaks hearts, forges lies, and perhaps even makes friendships among his human toys.
Not so recently, Heartseed's last group lost his interest. With their purpose fulfilled, he has begun seeking out the perfect set to manipulate next. This is where our previously mentioned group of friends fits in. Six teenagers trying to hide secrets that are best kept in the dark. How could he resist the temptation?
And thus, the soul seeds were planted.
“When it is no longer entertaining, I will stop. Until then, enjoy the show…”
You and your five friends have been selected to be a part of Heartseed's performance. You are one of his playthings. This is based off of the ideas in the anime/manga Kokoro Connect. Don’t be scared off, though. There will be no canon characters-- except Heartseed, of course-- so if you’ve gotten this far, you’re good. There’s no need to read/watch Kokoro Connect to join this. I’ve got a vague, ambiguous idea for the plot direction, but in all honesty, this is just a comedic roleplay. Have fun, roll with the punches, wing it!
Anybody interested? This is just a comedy, a slice-of-life with a slight fantastical twist.
