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 just happened...?

[like, he has a lot of questions

(mostly about things that aren't the table and cards and this, that actually makes more sense when put alongside what Anubis was saying about a game)

but let's start with general and work our way to specifics]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

A game of some sort. It was blank for me most of the time I was playing, but I get a feeling he [pointing across the table] knew exactly what was going on.

[mycaringheart]

...I suppose my next question, then, is why there are two of you. Or more.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Me and my inner demon. As for why there are more than two I have no fucking idea.

[mycaringheart]

...He [meaning the other one here] is a part of you, then? Or...?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Part. Sunshine I think has an inner demon, but we're not like that. We're more ... uh, blended?

[mycaringheart]

Blended...

[......]

...Do you split to play games with each other like this often, then?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

This is my inner soulscape. It doesn't exactly reflect reality.

.... I think.

[mycaringheart]

Your inner soulscape...

[he's still not quite sure he gets it - his books have never led him toward the topic of the inner workings of the soul, he's doing his best - but in any case...]

...My apologies for the intrusion, then. I don't think any of us meant to come inside of... well, you, I suppose...

[rollwithdisadvantage]

No apologies necessary. This is the work of our dear Producers. I do not hold any of you at fault.

Do you need to sit down?

[He says as he's already getting out of his chair.]

[mycaringheart]

Oh... No, I'm all right.

[there's no need for you to give up your chair for him]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[It's fancy looking, but not really comfortable to be honest.]

I'm glad you are fine. And it seems more people are confused than hurt.

[mycaringheart]

Mm... A lot happened all at once, at the end. I'll admit, I'm not sure I follow all of the parts I saw, even...

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Even? I'm not sure what all went down on the game board, but you all seemed to have a good time.
