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!]

[Gidd...y. Are you okay, bro?]

I'm glad some sort of levity can be brought to this situation.

[liftoft]

[ we lived, we didn't have to fight that, he's thrilled.]

Why shouldn't we be happy? We won, right?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Points to the smoldering crater that is the game board. Or dunno if it's smoldering. Maybe it's just full of rocks]

That looks like winning to you?

[liftoft]

Nobody died, we're all here, so hell yeah I think we won! Next time we'll kick that thing's ass, but this time I think we got pretty lucky!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Next time.

[Scoffs]

Why don't we just kick his ass right now?

[liftoft]

Well, sure, I mean, I'm all for trying... but can we even get back in there?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Sighs.

And points to the Bakura with the red eyes]

He's right there.

[liftoft]

Okay, that's totally different and you know it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Are you so sure?

[liftoft]

I get that he was like, controlling it. But yeah, I'm pretty sure that that guy is different from the giant monster and it's freaky dick!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure.

[Points to the door as if X hadn't said anything]

Try to shove him through there.

[liftoft]

Why, what's that gonna do?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Probably nothing. Or maybe everything.

Let's call it a science experiment.

[liftoft]

You know, I get the idea you think I'm some kinda idiot.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not at all. I'm just hoping your enthusiasm makes you careless.

[liftoft]

No way! Listen, sometimes you do gotta be a little reckless, but that's when you can see the outcome you want and gotta make a leap to get there! Blind action for a mystery outcome is totally different!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then I'll speak plainly.

That door is the bridge between this world and the next where I'm from. Who knows what that translates to while inside of Nine-Nine.

[liftoft]

So... you just wanna see what happens when someone goes through the door here? Why don't you do it, then--don't believe in yourself enough to handle it if it's bad news?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Only half right.

Mostly I just want to get rid of the demon version so I don't have to hear Nine-Nine prattle on and on about how he's the Darkness anymore.

It's irritating.

[liftoft]

[ points at the red eyed version]

So the super polite guy is the demon?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ . . .

I don't even have words for this]

[liftoft]

...I was pretty sure that was a yes or no kinda question.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes! OKAY! YES!

[liftoft]

Got it. So, is he just fuckin' with me to get me to do stuff for him, do you think? Or is he one of those fancy elder god type things that just talk all noble or whatever?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What is he trying to get you to do?
