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!]

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

[forgottenmercy]

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

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I'm going to trust you then, Persephone.

Would you like to sit down?

[forgottenmercy]

[this will never come back to haunt them in any way shape or form. oh no.]

I, ah, don't want to steal your chair...

[perches delicately on a clear spot on the table.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Them. No. Nah. Never.]

I don't mind, but if you are comfortable there...

[forgottenmercy]

[absolutely not.]

I'm, ah, okay.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Well, relax. I don't think anything bad is going to happen. Nothing worse anyway.

[forgottenmercy]

Hopefully, ah, not. [demurely folds his hands in his lap.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Sorry if the ending was a little unimaginative at the end, but I feel as if most people already know that about me.

[forgottenmercy]

Would you, ah, have wanted it to be more imaginative?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I didn't expect any of you to come waltzing in here. So no, it's fine as it is.

[forgottenmercy]

That is, ah, true.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

So, another trick for the Producers. Can't say I'm thrilled about that.

[forgottenmercy]

They keep, ah, coming up with new ones...

[rollwithdisadvantage]

If it ends up that we are all in some virtual world bullshit, I'm going to---

I don't know, but it's going to be drastic.

[forgottenmercy]

...ah, virtual world...?

...if I, ah, may ask.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Think of it like playing a computer game.... wait, you don't have those back where you are from either, do you?

Uh. Think of it as a full immersion cell phone game.

[forgottenmercy]

Anubis, ah, explained them to me, once...

I, ah, see...

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Oh, good. He did. Then that's less for me to explain.

[forgottenmercy]

I hope that we are, ah, not in something like that.
