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!]

[Standing up and putting an arm around her shoulders.]

Looks like we'll have to fill in some gaps in your education.

[rollplayinghouse]

[She's a little surprised, but she doesn't move away, just looks up at him.]

What kind of gaps?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Card games, table top, you know all that nerd stuff.

You alright? Some of you look to be in shock.

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah, well, you summoned a giant demon and then the entire world collapsed on top of us.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

That's.... troublesome.

[rollplayinghouse]

You don't know what happened?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I can't actually see the board no. Cards kind of moved in HP status and he laughed a lot. Rolled some dice, but honestly....

No.

Was it that bad?

[rollplayinghouse]

...Only at the end there.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I didn't do something really cheesy, did I?

[rollplayinghouse]

Is that what you're worried about?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

No, not really, but you all look a little shell shocked, but aren't crying or seem to have any new scars...

Please don't let me be the one to add more trauma to our overheaping plates.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Intensity and King and Corona were freaking out about things a bit, but it's fine. I'm more worried about you.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Are they? This shouldn't be a surprise for CEO. I've been straight with him for a long time.

Worried about me? Ha! As you can see I'm doing fine. Doesn't everyone play games with their inner demons, and their inner demons fucking cheat?

I hope you don't think I'm a nutcase after this.

[rollplayinghouse]

Not any more than before. I do think you're being stupid, though. My inner demons might be less literal than yours, but I don't act like they're just inevitable.

[Can you feel that jealous stare from all the way across the room? Maybe she can. Who knows?

And who's jealous? Not this guy. Nope. Never felt such a thing in his life]

[rollplayinghouse]

[You know you can put an arm around my shoulders and offer to teach me about card games anytime you want, babe]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[This is high-tier flirting in ygo terms. Goddamn it, Nine-Nine!



Sometime after the "cuddling":]

I made it to the Game Tower before you did.

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm, it turns out I couldn't sneak past ghosts.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Did they give you trouble?

[rollplayinghouse]

One flew through me... it was weird. But then I just ran.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And ran into the competent version of Nine-Nine?

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah, I decided to try the highway route instead, and thief-Nine-Nine was was up there on his horse.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And you decided to stop for a chat?

[rollplayinghouse]

Well... yeah.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Did he have anything interesting to say?
