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!]

"He let his guard down like all those in power do in time. Once he did that, well the rest was easy. I'm surprised you aren't a little squeamish at the sight of me dragging his corpse.]

I'm going to summon a true Demon."

[rollplayinghouse]

I don't have a problem with corpses.

He's not a true Demon?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Shaking his head.]

"He has to fight with his others for power? How pathetic."

[Walking his horse up to her and extending a hand.]

[rollplayinghouse]

And you think there's someone who doesn't...?

[It's a question, but it sounds more rhetorical this time.

And this seems even more like a bad idea... but not a worse idea than riding off on a motorcycle with demon-brain 99, and that worked out fine. So she takes his hand.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He pulls her behind him on the horse and continues to trot it towards his destination.]

Perhaps. Perhaps not, but I've thrown in my lot with it. I can't stop now.

[rollplayinghouse]

[Settles properly on the horse, her arms around his waist]

I see. Well, I understand needing to see where it goes.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[They can hear the final shattering of mirror even all the way from over here.]

What the fuck was that?

[Though he already knows as he's looking towards the tower.]

[rollplayinghouse]

...Sounds like maybe everyone else got there ahead of me after all.

[which is a little worrying]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then let's not make them wait.

[Kicking the horses flank and taking off at a higher speed. The body will probably make it in once piece, right?

Right.]

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah.

[It'll probably be fine.

Her arms tighten a little around him as they speed up.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He was headed for the game tower anyway. So good thing they broke the way in for them.]
