Nine-Nine Heart - Run 2

[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!]

"Pawns or not, the appropriate sacrifices are necessary. And she is one of them."

"I seek to revive the one that can put an end to this madness. That can grant us the power to defeat our foes and have our enemies trembling at our feet. The great Dark Master's arrival is at hand."

[liarliarliar]

So what else goes into a Dark Ritual? And who is the Dark Master?

What does a Dark Master do? Because aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sounds edgelord.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"The other two are bringing in similar sacrifices. Their names I can't recall but one claims to be a Demon Prince and the other his lackey.

He is a true Demon. Not like the fake ones that try to rule over this place. His glory and power are all encompassing!!!"

[liarliarliar]

And what will his rule be like?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Rule? He has not the time for such trivial details. Managing you mortals is not something worthy of his time."

[liarliarliar]

Then what's he going to do? What's the end game?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Revival. Total control over the worlds above. He has sat in the darkness for too long."

[Sorry he is your genero-evil villain, B.]

[liarliarliar]

Is he gonna rocks fall everyone dies this place?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"No. How insulting."

[He would cover the world in Darkness, duh!]

[liarliarliar]

Well, I don't know what a Dark Master DOES. I'm clueless!

Anyway, can I have that woman? Where are we taking her? Let me take her so I can get some Dark Master favoritism points.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He points to the game tower.]

"Therein lies our goals. Though I have not been able to enter. Perhaps you will have better luck.

If you can get me into that place, I will give you the honors of putting her on the sacred tablet so that the Dark One knows of your assistance."

[liarliarliar]

You must be tired of carrying her. We can have my assistant Duality see to her for awhile if you'd like.

After all, I'm sure the Dark Ritual will require a lot of energy. Best not to expend it all, my friend.

[asonoficeandfire]

[he's coming to a halt as he sees B, then looks to the masked man, then to Exael.

what's going on?]

B?

[liarliarliar]

Hey~ Duality! He's taking Miss Exael for a Dark Ritual to summon a Dark Master! Interesting, right?

[asonoficeandfire]

Summon a what?

[liarliarliar]

Exactly.

[asonoficeandfire]

That doesn't make sense. From where? Where did these come from?

[...and why does Faukyo look like the apocalypse. it's even worse than grayification]

[liarliarliar]

I have no idea. But I think I can roll with this.

[asonoficeandfire]

...what are you planning to do?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Oh, are you giving me a chance to monologue! YOU ASKED A QUESTION]

"The revival of the Dark One! His glory will be unto all of us. You shall see what a true Demon can do. Come! Join us! Together we can rid the world of these pathetic producers!"

[asonoficeandfire]

[I asked it in brackets! but this works fine too. he frowns a little]

No, thank you. Who is the Dark One?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[WHOOPSIES! I mean, he'll monologue at anyone who will listen. He's that kind of villain!]

The great Demon Lord [BLEEPED OUT BECAUSE IMEEJI]!

[asonoficeandfire]

[uh]

I don't think that sounds appealing at all.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Then stand out of my way. I have work to do."

[asonoficeandfire]

[well B just offered to let me carry Exael for you for a while]

It seems like a lot of work.
