Angel | Heart Game (pt 2)
It’s strange, isn’t it? You have fallen asleep, and yet your consciousness is awake. You’re simply floating, waiting to remember what it’s like to exist. However, as you wait, a growing fear clutches at your chest. What if you don’t remember? What if you will always be empty? What if you never find what it is that you are looking for? What if you die?

. . . ♫ . . .
You aren’t sure, but you swear that you just heard someone singing . . . the words are incomprehensible, but it makes you feel something familiar . . . a feeling that makes you feel like you’ll find what you’re looking for . . . and that everything will be alright in the end . . .
What is that feeling?
. . .
HUUUH?!
You don’t know?? Wowee . . . well, don’t worry! Since we're friends, I’ll tell you!
It’s hope, of course! !
Intensity's Lab
Inside the room, you find something that looks like a laboratory. Like the rest of the dormitory, it's all done in white matte and silver metal. Across from the entrance, on the far wall is a singular table— a silver slab that hovers mid-air, locked in place unless the height is deliberately adjusted. A similar white slab chair also will float, seat wherever you choose to put it. Silver robot arms for holding things-- be it projects worked on or tools can be retracted or extruded from the walls. Despite how space-age the rest of it is, the tower computer that sits beside the desk seems pretty 90s, though it does come with a slick modern monitor.
Uh. But there is uh. One thing that seems different from what you might expect.
The entire room is just covered in all sorts of Intensity merchandise and objects. Toys, dolls, stands, posters, clothing, the giant golden, Intensity statue, wallpaper, playing cards, cake, you name it, it’s probably there. There are probably stuff to find underneath all of this merch, but it might require some digging to see what you can find.
On the monitor, it is currently labeled Lessons to Remember (In progress). There is a search function similar to google where you can use the keyboard to type in keywords and see what you can find, it seems.
Re: Intensity's Lab
what the hell? what the hell is this Angel. this isn't even remotely cute. this is creepy. are you okay? ]
What the fuck.... is this real? [ actually it would make more sense for this to be an actual thing that actually exists in this guy's spooky science room right?
.... he's gonna take a strawberry off of the cake and eat it. this guy's face pisses him off now for some reason.
what are the "Lessons to Remember"? ]
Re: Intensity's Lab
You have to type a subject into the search bar and see what results you get! Typing seems easy enough.]
Re: Intensity's Lab
and he's going to eat more of this cake. his cake now. ]
Re: Intensity's Lab
Intensity: "If anything happens, will you be able to handle it on your own?"
Angel: ". . . I don't know. I know I'd have to even if I don't want to."
Intensity: "I believe in you."
Angel: "What would Intensity's best day be like?"
Intensity: "The day when I look the producers in the eye and they come to the fucking realization that they've lost!"
Angel: "Why are you always so nice to me...?"
Intensity: "I'm not nice to you. I'm teaching you how to be your own goddamn person. Gin and Arginine... they treated you like you were something to be sheltered and protected from everything. How the fuck is that supposed to help you out in the long run?"
Angel: "Umm . . . I don't really know if it would have helped or not. I think they were just trying to be kind to me. But I think you are also kind in your own way. Like you said, you want to help me out. Isn't that nice?"
Intensity: "...Yes."

Joker: "You know who I think is shy? Intensity. He has a lot of trouble opening up to others, doesn't he? It makes sense."
Intensity: "You want to drive all the way to the onsen?"
Angel: "Is that okay? You don't want to?"
Intensity: "I'd rather do this with you."

Re: Intensity's Lab
Lucifel: "Mmm, something practical would be good. . . At least, he'd like it if it's practical. Perhaps a weapon . . . ? Ah, but smiles and fun . . ." ". . . . Ah, maybe a. . . competitive . . . game of sorts?"

A blurry photo of Intenstiy.

C: But okay, let's go with the spicy one, cuz yeah, you're right! You expect him to be able to handle that. But suddenly!! Someone pours a liiiiittlle bit of the bitter stuff into the drink!
[DOES SO, DEMONSTRATING]
Uh oh! That's a nasty surprise, right? So, so! Imagine if Intensity were waiting for you to be your spicy cute bubbly self. . .but instead you acted bitter and dark like coffee. How confusing!
If you wanna challenge him, you gotta do it YOUR way, not like someone else.

What to give Intensity:
"Maybe, ah, something involving math? He, ah, seems to like math. An etiquette book might be, ah, useful for him, but I don't think he'd actually read it. I, ah, saw him doing something in the park with equations the other day." "...oh, on, ah, that note, maybe a book of puzzles, or something like that that you could do together?"
---
Maki: He does like games, but that's almost too obvious. His ego is big enough for a giant art piece of himself... but actually, maybe his ego is so big he would say he doesn't need a giant art piece of himself. I feel like you should try for either something surprisingly thoughtful, or something he doesn't know he'll like yet.
---
Maki: "He's lucky to have you."
Angel: "You think so? I always feel that way with Intensity though . . ."
Maki: "That's why he's lucky."
---
Okami: "You seem really close to all of them. What did Intensity do to end up your favorite?"
Angel: ". . . huh, I wonder what he did . . ."
---
All of these Intensity quotes
---
B: "I can't imagine him trying to make an Angel face though."
---
C: I think you can learn! For as much of a total ditz you seem, you're actually pretty clever. Intensity wouldn't like you, otherwise.

[A photo of a sheep for some reason.]
Re: Intensity's Lab
at least. ... he's good to Angel. almost to the point where he likes him without having ever really known him.
well. time to google search "loki" ]

[➤ Dantalion] "Well someone thought I might be a prince." "Well it's possible! Since my name is long and 'regal-sounding', unlike... ... whatever you just said!"
---
[➤ Dantalion] His own memory: "Don't push me away. I will always be bound to you. Forever."
---
[➤ Loki] ".. ... ..... We're friends?"
---
[➤ Loki] "Angel, right? I'm Loki."
---
[➤ Loki] Angel: "You're strong too, aren't you?"
Loki: "... Yeah. I guess you could say I am."
---
Loki: "I have a unitmate kind of like you." "Lucifel. ... he's one of the twins. He's a bit clueless like you, but he's always learning from others. He's... sharp. Maybe too sharp sometimes. But it's also easy to forget that because he seems like the kind of guy that needs to be protected and taken care of."
---
Loki: "What do you like about your unit? One by one."
Angel: "Well . . . Shogun is a lot of energy like me and always wants to have fun and play games! It feels nice to have someone like that on my team since usually they're not like him.
The nice girl whose name is TBD is also kind of like that! But I don't understand half the things she says so it's really fun to try to learn what she's talking about!
Three is like that too but I understand his words. He's just always unhappy looking and sounding and doesn't want to do a lot, and that's really fun to me! Cuz he's different, but at the same time, maybe I'll learn what kind of things CAN make him happy someday!
And then there is Blank! She's also kinda grumpy, but she's loud grumpy like Intensity! But not THAT loud. Still, it's funny to watch her expressions, and they're also very cute!
Bell is really smart! I wish I could be as smart as her, but she didn't have any memories and she was already really cool and acted like a leader type! I bet she and Intensity will be good friends!
And Intensity . . . I like him because I know I can trust him with anything!"
Re: Intensity's Lab
... .... what if he searches "the house" or "betrayal" or "memory"? ]

"If anyone tries to hurt you again, you fucking stab them."
---
Intensity: You know that the cameras don't record what we do in the dorms, right?
Angel: Why?
Intensity: In case you need to talk about or do something you don't want the producers to be aware of.
---
Three: ...people die all the time.
Angel: . . . I know. Bad things always happen.
Three: More than it being bad or good, it's just 'life', right? Why are you upset?
Angel: Because I didn't want it to happen.
---
Three: Anyway, it sounds like you did a lot better than I would've expected.
Angel: Huh? I did?
Three: Yeah. You seem pretty juvenile and helpless, but I guess that doesn't mean you can't defend yourself. Maybe it even lowers people's guards so you have better odds.
Angel: Oh . . . that is very nice of you. I want to be stronger, but I don't know if I can.
Three: I doubt there's any reason you can't be.
---
Three: I don't fully understand the situation, but it sounds like you did well. Intensity seems to agree. I guess it sucks you had to kill people, but that's still better than it happening to you.

A video of Intensity getting murdered by Man Eater and his blood being used to draw, and Angel responding to all of it. You know which thread this is.
Re: Intensity's Lab
what if he searches "heart" ? ]
Re: Intensity's Lab
--
B: Your life line is powerful! And your heart line is full to bursting! You're a good and kind person who will lead a long and happy life! And today you'll have lots of fun with everyone!

99 about Intensity: Asshole does have a heart in there somewhere.
Re: Intensity's Lab
he's going to take another strawberry off that cake though. and exit back to FiN dorm... and all the way back to the lobby, unless something changed while he was poking around. ]
