Heart's Homing Instinct Game 3

TODAY IN FORTITUDE (AND ALSO BLUEBELL PARK): Yeva has a strange waking dream involving their snake friend and something stirring within the deep and dark depths of her heart, and the snake tells Yeva to call it Ira;

Natalia does her shrine duties, deals with her cousin attempting to cause her trouble, stirs more trouble in return, and hears about a missing ship on the lake from her mother; the trees and shadows tell Natalia what they can;

Dali tries to set her life back to normal, but Jasmine Apocynum intervenes with a quest to locate Bluebell Park and her home-slash-heart; Yeva and Natalia meet by chance at Wambis at Three Corners, and find it surprisingly lacking in Dali;

they learn that Dali went to Bluebell Park and go in search of her; Dali performs a musical number with a full chorus; Yeva is a tsundere; the three go to gaze upon Jasmine Apocynum’s mansion; Yeva hears a strange, sibilant voice mutter “ugh, Fortitude” in her ear;

Dali inflicts the contents of her Zune on everyone while Natalia provides hummed harmony in minor key; Natalia tells everyone about the right kind of edge; and Yeva decides to knock on the door of the most evil steampunk mansion she has seen to meet a (shitty teen) Deceiver

bonus: Natalia's player utters the phrase "Dali's big naturals" and we discover that you know you've told a good joke when someone aspirates hair.
