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!]

Upset, High Priest?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't even start.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Now. Now. I don't want to be enemies. We could accomplish much together.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you're next words are to pledge loyalty, I'm going to wring your scrawny neck.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

As if you could. This is my domain.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Really? You want to test that theory?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Now aren't we playing role reversal. Didn't you chide him for punching his betters? And when it comes to betters I'm way above Exael.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Exael is not his "better". She just is in a position of more power.

And how powerful is your position - locked in here and stripped of the darkness.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Are you trying to goad me? It won't work. I'll find my rightful place even if it takes me eons.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Out of the chair.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

As entertaining as the prospect is. Give me a reason and I'll consider it. I'm a demon after all. I don't give things out for free.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Moving over to where Zorc is, leaning against the table]

Going to bite at the Hell's wish bait? Any power must be better than no power in your current position.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Every construct has a loophole. If it didn't, I would have turned your world to ash long before anyone ever made it here.

And while you call it bait, it is simply a step towards a goal.
I already know that this place can't contain me forever. It is just a matter of time.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

They put you in a cage once. What's to stop them from doing it a second time?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Nothing but my own wit and alliances. Nothing is ever assured.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Wishy washy statement for the Darkness to have.

Shouldn't you go blah blah with light there will always be darkness blah blah evil laughter?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Absolutely not. That's cliche.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Summoning a demon is cliche. Been there. Fucking done that.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

That pathetic excuse of a Demon Prince. He can't even fix his own problems. That's not a true demon.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

He stuck you here, didn't he? Or his boss did.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Because he needs us. Not me in particular but all the other idols. They have unfathomable power, but they way they wield is is akin to a child. Like wasting a wish from a genie to skip a day of school.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Needs us to do what?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

If only he would reveal that. Not that I'd be able to tell you if he did.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you're trapped here. With all your memories. But unable to part that wisdom to you poor amnesiac self.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Correct. I know a great deal about you and the others as well and still unable to give you the proper guidance. It truly is a pity. The skills you have lost would be quite useful though I know you care not for the memories attached to them.
