Nine-Nine Heart - Run 1

[idolpro]

[It's time for a new an exciting place, right? A land of adventure and fun and excitement!

Wait? Then why does this look like Tokyo-F. Like a Tokyo-F that has seen better days.

A dark purple haze has settled over the city, thick and suffocating, oppressive and heavy. The sky above is filled with yawning teeth and blinking eyes stare back at you. Buildings lie in tatters and their remains litter the landscape.

A few proud buildings still stand tall! The most prominent one among them - THE GAME TOWER. Though it is sporting more of an evil villain castle vibe than you remember. And it certainly used to be taller and not leaking out that purple smoke filling the air. Nonetheless it stands as a beacon in the city, the focal point in the ruin around you.

A voice echos in your head. "Find the Dark Master."

GAME START!]

We wouldn't be here if they didn't want you to do something with it.

[mycaringheart]

That would make sense, I suppose... How would we know which way would be best, though?

[rollplayinghouse]

...See you in a bit.

[She leans up to kiss him briefly before turning that direction, quickly vanishing.]

[watching quietly. Persephone seems to have this under control. He's satisfied letting him take the lead and watching their collective backs in the meantime]

TO THE GAME TOWER - OPTION A

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[A tall mage walks the streets with bright red hair and a masks that covers his face. Embedded in that mask is a golden eye etched with the symbol of Horus. You’ve probably never met this man before, but the person he has slung over his shoulder you certainly have.

It is Exael. Host of Tokyo-F. She doesn’t appear to be moving but from this distance you can’t tell if that is because she is merely unconscious or dead.]

[oncedamnedtwicedivine]

You mean should we make detours? I guess exploring might be useful but I'd like to focus on the objective.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Here you go]

[puzzlekeeper]

Naturally.

[ Aaaaand right on cue, he's summoning Dark Magician, who's easily recognizable from.... several memories, at this point. ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[You end up here. You can choose to interact with Persephone, Cobalt, and Thorn if you like!]

[rollwillpowercheck]

So far it seems more horror-themed than anything. But I'm probably the only one familiar with the normal rules, yeah.

[mou_hitori_no_pharaoh]

Of course.

[Sighs]

Let's go save an npc for some fucking plot dump.

[ talk about unexpected. ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[They seem to give an excited yes as much as ghosts can.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ???? ]

What was what? Did you hear something?

[ Are they being ambushed-?? ]

[justfuckingtryit]

[He sure does.]

[Helping himself to one of those and is on high alert, moving forward.]

[forgottenmercy]

[Persephone will go back to singing as he opens the bag.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Holy shit! ]

How -?

[rollplayinghouse]

[...They look like they have things under control.

Maki's going to attempt to continue forward, still hidden.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"And who are you?"

Re: TO THE GAME TOWER - OPTION A

[puzzlers]

[ king, that's exael, right? what is she doing here? ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Well, well, what do we have here?"

[mou_hitori_no_pharaoh]

[KILL BILL SIRENS]

And who the fuck are you supposed to be?

[puzzlers]

Should we be asking you that question?

[puzzlers]

Did I hear... what? I didn't hear anything.

[ oh man, please tell me that rockslide didn't cause any residual damage. ]

Re: TO THE GAME TOWER - OPTION A

[puzzlekeeper]

[ It could just be an illusion, but... she was acting strangely at her last game, and apparently she was missing for the one after that. It seems like an alarming coincidence. ]
