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!]

You were, ah, in the game, but as a...character in the story?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You're gonna have to explain this one to me.

[forgottenmercy]

...there was, ah, a version of you that showed up in the tower at the end. As an, ah, ...antagonist?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Great. Did he give a shitty speech?

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, no, because he did not get the chance.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

... What happened?

[forgottenmercy]

...X, ah, put him into a large fish? And then he, ah, disappeared...

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Are you sure you all weren't just high?

[forgottenmercy]

The, ah, last time I had an intoxicant was at the truth game...

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Was worth a shot? Did you at least have fun?

[forgottenmercy]

I'm, ah, not certain that 'fun' is the word to use to describe that experience.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Well please tell me it wasn't terrible or scarring. I don't want to follow in our dear Producers footsteps. That would just be pointless after all the work I'm putting in.

[forgottenmercy]

I'm, ah, the wrong person to ask about that...?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Well if you aren't fussed, then I guess it couldn't have been too bad. You are still a hard one to read.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, fuss a lot less than others, though....

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Doesn't mean it doesn't bother you as much just because you aren't loud. What you think and feel is just as valid as the rest of them.

[forgottenmercy]

A lot, ah, less seems to bother me...?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Yes, yes. Say that as you like, but I think a lot more does than you let on.

[forgottenmercy]

I'm not, ah, so certain about that...

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He can't help but smile.]

I like you, Persephone. A lot, but I do wish you'd open up a bit more. I don't bite.

[forgottenmercy]

I don't, ah, think that you would.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then you don't have to hide your thoughts. You've see enough of my stupid ideas.

[forgottenmercy]

I don't, ah, really have much to say.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

That's fine. Just as long as you aren't holding back.

[forgottenmercy]

I'm, ah, not. [spoilers: he is.]
