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!]

STARTER LOCATIONS

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Pick one of the three locations to start. If you want a random start point ping the GM in the discord channel.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[You wake up lying on your back in the park. The grass underneath you is definitely not soft. In fact when you touch the grass the blades turns to dust. However, that might not be the thing catching your attention first and foremost.

All around you are dark and shadowy humanoid blobs. They stumble about slow and lumbering not unlike zombies. They have noticed you and have taken a great deal of interest. They lumber towards you.

Hmmm. That sure is the Audience trying to eat you. In fact, if you bother to inspect closer that is the Audience version of you trying to snack on your arm. Mmmm. You look delicious.]

[MECHANICS: Roll a defense check.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[So ignore the intro, you don't see anything just yet. It's dark here with slabs of concrete laid precariously over your head. The light filters through just enough so you can see the purple haze outside but not much else. Wait? Is that the dorms next to you. Or what is left of the dorms as it might be missing a few of the uppermost floors.

The area is barely tall enough for you to stand and as far as you can see there are no obvious tunnels out. You are trapped inside.]

[MECHANICS: Roll an attack check.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[A group of adventures meet in a bar --- A faux bar at least! There isn’t any liquor or small snacks --- not even peanuts! --- as you wake up groggily draped on a bench seat. Any lingering headache should be gone quickly as you look around at your other companions. A few of the bar stools are toppled over, but everything else looks in good repair.

But before you shout, an eerie wheezing sound goes by the windows. You only get a glimpse of whispery appendages and black void eyes, but you are pretty sure whatever that was, it wasn’t human.]

[we_meet_again]

Bleeuugh where am I?

And what was that?!

[forgottenmercy]

[...what is even...?

takes a moment to stand up, glancing around, before he sees what's happening outside. ghosts? ghosts.

but before he goes outside, is going to examine the windows. do they open?]

[mou_hitori_no_pharaoh]

[Going to ignore the fact that they are buried underground for a second, because what the fuck is Intensity wearing?

. . .




GOD he hates memories.

Also rolled a 3 4 5 (12) against his impressive ATK of 4 so that's a fail]

[forgottenmercy]

Maybe, ah, a ghost?

[justfuckingtryit]

[Turns toward the window, to follow the motion with his eyes.]

What the actual fuck?

[rollplayinghouse]

[Cool. Fun. This is fun. Maki squints into the light and feels along the ceiling.

Roll of 5 5 6 and an attack of 10, success!]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Now that you are at the window you can definitely see a lots of ghosts milling about. They seem to be working in unison?]

[we_meet_again]

Oh. Hm.

I don't...know what to do about that. Do you think it's dangerous?

[puzzlers]

[ new threads. hm. he's super small so the low ceiling might not be much of a- realizes he's got the puzzle on him though. ]

!!!

[ roll: 1 5 6 and his attack stat is a resounding 2. fff. ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Oh, boy. That wasn't supposed to slide that way. You brace for impact, but it looks like everything is okay. Phew. The slabs of concrete look steady, but better not do that again.]

[MECHANICS: Roll another attack check. DON'T KILL EVERYONE INTENSITY]

[justfuckingtryit]

Nothing good, probably.

[But he sure is going to the window anyway.]

[forgottenmercy]

I can, ah, try to talk to them.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[You break through one particularity large slab. Not enough for a person to get through, but enough for to peek out and read the post level text. Yep. You are definitely in Tokyo-F.]

[MECHANICS: Roll another attack check.]

[forgottenmercy]

[working in unison on what? going to peer a bit more closely.

can Persephone open the window, or is it one of those kinds that can't open?]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Uh, oh. Ever played Jenga before? Yeah. That delicate balance of rocks is crashing on top of you. Everyone in the area take 1 point of damage.]

[MECHANICS: Roll an attack check.]

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, ghosts....

[we_meet_again]

[Follows along.]

Looks like there's a lot of them out there. Do you think one of them is "the Dark Master"?

[oncedamnedtwicedivine]

[1 4 5 against 5 so that's a draw?

In either case he's making a startled GAH!! noise and whapping at the zombie him.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[You can definitely open the window!]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[jumps up right away after hearing the voice in his head, looking almost offended.]

It's Monster World?!

[--except, whoops, maybe being loud when the Audience is already interested in you isn't the best idea. tries to jerk his arm away from the doppelgänger-zombie-audience (def check: 1 2 6, which is surprisingly a success).]

[rollplayinghouse]

[Stares up at the haze in the sky before trying to shove more concrete out of the way.

1 3 4, another success.]
