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!]

What do you intend to do about—

[ Points at edgier Nine-Nine over there ]

Him?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

We're more blended than he'd like to admit, but I was trying to keep him out of the sacrificial chamber. Something happened to the barrier though and his minions got in.

So to answer your question --- keep him in his place as much as I can.

[puzzlekeeper]

I take that to mean there's something you two don't see eye-to-eye on.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Can't really spend the rest of my days hanging out with Anubis if I kill everyone and everything, can I?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ... Smirking a little. ]

Heh! There really is hope for you yet.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Oh, please. How often do you bend over backwards for Yugi?

[puzzlekeeper]

Always, of course.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You know, we aren't so different, you and I.

[Pointing across the table.]

He's a different matter entirely though.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Glancing over at the other Nine-Nine ]

Yes, I've gotten that impression. In choosing between the two of you, I've already made my decision.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You make it sound so easy. But you know what, I welcome you to try.
