EONIA

[Something is wrong with the room you are in.

At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.

But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.

You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.

You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.

But so are you.]

[There's a faint chime from the glass.

The chains scrape and rattle as the box holding the heart constricts. You can see the chambers of the heart compress against the glass, shuddering and thudding against its enclosure. It just barely retains its shape, and outside of an odd flutter now and then, it continues to pump.]

[A pain throbs through your chest, and a pressure blooms behind your nose. For a moment, you can't quite breathe. The room tilts, and then rights itself. Whatever happened hasn't passed, but it gets easier to handle after a moment.

You are feeling more SENSITIVE than usual.]
