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!]

[ Just grateful to be out of the fucking darkness honestly. Takes a moment to catch his breath, then assesses the options as well. ]

... Unless that's exactly what we're meant to think.

If we want the obvious Dark Master---

[Points to the guy with the freaky mask.

I dunno. Looks like the shoe fits]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Eyeing the dude in question.

Yeah. Yeah.... ]

That was my thinking as well. We could intercept him while Maki scouts ahead.

[Gesturing to Blue Eyes and Silent Magician]

You have a companion as well?

[puzzlekeeper]

Naturally.

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

[mou_hitori_no_pharaoh]

Of course.

[Sighs]

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