[animusmods]

Characters: open
Setting: all around the Tower on the 14th
Format: any
Summary: There's something interesting on floor forty-three...
Warnings: Animus horror event warnings
Note: The bear has been found.

The note might be familiar by now: "A bear stole my heart. Will you find it for me?" What's unusual is that this isn't attached to anyone. Instead, it's attached to the inner wall of cell 037 on floor forty-three. A red Valentine's Day heart, painted in blood, is scrawled above the note on the wall.

Will you search for the bear?

Upon spotting the bear, Ion will find himself frozen for a moment, before being drawn helplessly to the teddy bear. It looks very old, older than any of the other bears hiding about the Tower, and the heart on its stomach is painted in blood. Silently, controlled by something beyond his control, Ion will pick up the bear and carry it back to floor forty-three, making no stops and talking to no one on the way. He will enter the cell and the cell will lock behind them.

Kneeling on the floor, Ion will place the bear face up in front of he and pick up a knife left in the cell. He will proceed to stab the bear over and over while blood spurts and seeps out of the tiny creature. It seems to contain enough blood to fill up a human body in spite of its size. While Ion is doing this, he will be filled with feelings of anger and despair. He will not stop until the bear is a pile of blood, stuffing, and fur, and the heart within it is ruined entirely. Ion will then regain control of himself.

Of course, he's still trapped within the bloody cell until someone else lets him out.
