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!]

We became the same person. Don't believe everything he tells you.

[rollplayinghouse]

...So are you the demon he sold his soul to, or whatever? Either way. You're the same person now, and it's stupid to pretend like you can divide everything up between you.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

It is not foolish to think so. I will eclipse these mortal obligations!

[rollplayinghouse]

[nonplussed]

Why?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Why? Why do you do anything? Our goals are similar. It is the lure of free will. True autonomy.

[rollplayinghouse]

You don't think you have free will?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

No. I do not.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I don't think that's true.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Sit in the backseat of someone's head for a while and come back and tell me if you still feel the same.

[rollplayinghouse]

Do you really just sit in the backseat and watch?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I try to influence where I can.

[Motioning to the board with the crater.]

It has varying success. You remember though. When the sky turned gray and you turned pale. I was there.

[rollplayinghouse]

Hmm. You took me out to set off fireworks. It was kind of romantic, and... definitely nice.

Not the sort of thing a heartless demon with no free will would do.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

These demon princes really do give us all a bad name.

[rollplayinghouse]

You're trying pretty hard to give yourself a bad name.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

None of you have come at with me pitch forks yet.

[rollplayinghouse]

Is that what you're into?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Don't bat those eyelashes at me. But that probably is his fancy.

[rollplayinghouse]

I didn't take him for that type.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Looks like you still have a lot to learn.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, this has all been very informative.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then I look forward what you decide to do with this knowledge. All of you, actually.

[rollplayinghouse]

Were you getting lonely in here?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I believe the term you would use would be 'fussy' not lonely.

[rollplayinghouse]

I used lonely. I thought you were eternally patient, or whatever.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You are good at twisting words back. Then I'll speak plainly. No, I am not lonely.
