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!]

[ Rubbing a sore shoulder ]

What's with the apocalypse now?

[crossmyheartandhope]

...dunno. Maybe someone got another couch or something.

[malignstar]

God, I hope not. Are you okay? Something set off some rocks a few minutes ago.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He's a little scraped and dusty, because he was still inside to catch some of that area damage, but:]

Made it out okay.

You?

[malignstar]

Annoyed more than anything. Where were you guys thinking of starting?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Finding the dark master, I guess, whoever that is.

[malignstar]

Masked kidnapper sounds like a good place to kick off.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hesitates. Then:]

What, the dude on a horse?

[malignstar]

That's what I'm thinking.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Glllances around. Then:]

...yeah, sure. Works for me.

[malignstar]

Nem coming too?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Lemme see what she wants to do.

[Cause lbr, he's not going anywhere without her.]

[malignstar]

[ That's why he's double-checking ]

Sure.

[unbr8kable]

[Brushing rubble from her hair and clothes]

It's a day ending with Y? You got caught in this too?

[malignstar]

Yeah, guess it's super finicky.

[unbr8kable]

Yah...

So, to get outta here, I guess we gotta find this game master... What do you wanna do?

[malignstar]

I'm a little concerned about what looks like a kidnapping in progress.

[unbr8kable]

The one being dragged or the one being carried? And neither of those're probably the mastermind, either...

[frowns]

[malignstar]

Second one. Maybe not. But they might have some information. And it feels wrong to just ignore something like that.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... Makes you wonder about the first one, though. Guess we could split up and circle back later, or all stick together and knock it out quick...?

[malignstar]

I'm game for either. I just want to start moving again.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... Let's check out these kidnappers and go from there.
