idolpro | Angel | Heart Game (pt 2)

As soon as you start to fall asleep, the world of Imeeji is engulfed by a bright light.

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! !

[ next page he's just going to keep reading because this is prime potential blackmail material ]

And Intensity . . . I like him because I know I can trust him with anything!"
---
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.]

[ ... god he feels like he knows this guy so well now that he'd almost feel bad blackmailing him.

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] "It's actually "Dantalion".
---
[➤ 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!"

[ ... okay a couple of these things definitely did not need to be remembered. of all things to take from their conversations... well, he's going to leave it there anyways.

... .... what if he searches "the house" or "betrayal" or "memory"? ]

[Lucifel: "For the next time you are not fine . . . Or when you feel like you aren't, but you have to be . . . Please remember that it's alright not to be fine in your home."
---
"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.

[ .......... well fuck. he leans back from the console for a moment, breathing in. alright.

what if he searches "heart" ? ]

B: "I see it now! You make so many friends! And among them... One of them is very shy! And wants to become better friends! You sense their shyness, their hesitation, and welcome them with open arms to help open up their heart! Your caring nature brings them out of their shell!" B fortune."
--
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.

[ sighs, alright that's not as helpful as he was hoping for. he already knows Angel has a huge heart.

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. ]

[Nothing has changed!]

[ there's stairs, right? he'll take those next. ]

[If you take the stairs up from the lobby to the mezzanine, there is only one door: the door to the vid room. You program it with your scenario and step inside the holodeck, which will generate your fake scenario.

It seems just like the actual video room. ]

[ ... huh WELL ACTUALLY HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THAT RIGHT NOW. so jk back downstairs. let's try....

wait since when does the elevator go up to the game tower actually, that's weird. let's go there. ]

[Weird.
