idolpro | Nemesis Heart

Conflict resolution or any sort of challenges will be done Lasers & Feelings-style.

Choose a number from 2 to 5. High numbers mean you are better at VIGOR (fighting, physical feats, etc). Lower numbers mean you are better at SPIRIT (intuition, diplomacy, spiritual strength, magic/tk)

When you act, roll 1d6 to see how it turns out. +1d if you're prepared, +1d if you're an expert (DM will tell you)

If you're using VIGOR (physical actions), you want to roll UNDER your number.

If you're using SPIRIT (mental/spiritual actions), you want to roll OVER your number.

If 0 dice succeed, it goes wrong.
If 1 die succeeds, you barely manage it. Some complication, harm, or cost will be inflicted.
If 2 dice succeed, you do it well. Good job!
If 3 dice succeed, you get a critical success! You'll get some extra effect or advantage.
If you roll your number exactly you can ask the DM 1 question or make 1 (reasonable) request.

If you want to help someone else, describe how you try to help and make a roll. If you make it, they get +1 die.

If you have any questions or concerns, ask, but feel free to give things a shot. You may have more power within Nem's heart than you'd expect...

[The place is called Main Street or Home Town or Discovery Square, or some kind of hokey generic-aspirational name like that; maybe not quite your bag but the layout is impressive enough, especially for this place. It's a large quadrangle lined with shops and storefronts and cleverly disguised bathrooms, all done up in faux Americana brass and wood and mother-of-pearl inlays.

At one end of the quad is a massive power suit--without even looking at it you are certain it is one of the most badass things you will ever see. At the other, Cinderella Castle, and there's no suit there, though you keep thinking there should be. Inbetween are immaculate green lawns and gardens overflowing with colorful flowers crisscrossed by scenic stone paths.

A few of these paths make a crossroads here at the midpoint, and at the center of all that is a tall clock, a face pointing each direction. Instead of telling the time it steadily counts down. Four hours--well, less now. The castle is the rendezvous point, of course, but there's no need to head there now. You've got time.

Peppy music wafts through the air, accompanied by the pumped scents of coffee and dark chocolate and sukiyaki. Above that, the sky is a cloudless, slightly gold-tinged blue.]

[It is hard to miss the massive power suit positioned at the south end of the mall--but why would you want to?

Nemesis--or at least its 1:1 model--rises majestically from the short pedestal it's placed on, crimson and gold armor gleaming in the sunlight. One wheeled foot is crunched into what looks like a lump of obsidian, and its left arm is brandished forward, the holo projection of its plasma axe looking almost like the real thing.

On its shoulders are its full artillery loadout: chaff and IR grenades and flash-bangs and both the mid- and long-range heat-seeking missiles, even though all that ordinance at once would overload the suit's encumbrance limit and it'd never be able to keep up with the rest of its team. That doesn't make it any less rad.

You were right--it is one of the most badass things you have ever seen. You kinda want one.]

[The castle is impressive--smooth, polished stone, graceful crenelated walkways and towers and pennants of tyrian and gold.

From the rest of the park, castle hadn't seemed quite as intimidating as it does from here, however--the walls thicker and rougher, the windows looking infinitely far away than one would expect from some tricks of perspective. The portcullis looks heavy, its thick metal bars worn and scraped with age.

Kinda seems like the sort of thing you should leave alone? Definitely not worth worrying about]

[... whats going on. what. what.

... this is not quite the same as Tokyo-F, and she looks a little stumped.]

What's... going on?

[Why would you build a theme park dedicated to mice of all things? Clearly, this is an inferior theme park.

Well.

Except for the mech, which Intensity is going to go check out.]

[ ok well

she's now experienced dismaysea, anyway. so she kind of knows the deal? it seems like a nice day, though. she's going to go look at the warstrider (furi: power suit) ]

[Why doesn't the castle have a suit? For shame.

He's going to get a cup of coffee and head towards said castle.]

What's that?

[already inquiring about this hot liquid he's acquired?]

. . .

Cool. Something stupid is happening.

[Acquiring +1 wife]

Adora!

[Everybody's a critic.

Anyway, the mech is down the way, here]

Edited 2021-01-23 20:10 (UTC)

Catra!

What's going on?

That's kind of the usual, I suppose.

[Exciting! It's here]

[It is in fact one of the most badass things he's ever seen. And he recognizes it from someone else's heart game, too.

Don't mind him as he tries to climb up into to see if it's fully operational or just a show piece.]

[Assuming his coffee quest was successful.]

Coffee. It has an ingredient in it that keeps you awake longer than you should. A bit addictive if I recall.

[He hands it to her.]

A dear friend of mine has gotten me rather infatuated with it.

[ whoaaaaa it looks like the kind of thing you'd expect the Scarlet Empress to have... so very important, clearly

although, she's wondering a little what's past it? ]

Dunno, some dumb game, I guess.

Looks like we're not just stuck with our units on this one. You coming?

Just what are they expecting us to do here?

[well, she has acquired one coffee?]

Do you think we're gonna need to stay awake?

[and she is going to sniff it]

[There are plenty of coffee and food snacks for both of them, if they care to stock up.

Eventually they can mosey to the castle, though really there's no need to do such a thing,]

Coming where, though?

It's more akin to drinking hot chocolate on a winter's day. Soothing.

[He pats her shoulder.]

You are jittery. This looks like a celebration more than a battle. Relax. Take some enjoyment.

I-- I'm fine. I'm not jittery?

[she takes a sip and pauses]

Huh.

[it's not sweet, which is disappointing but also]
