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!]

[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?

[liarliarliar]

We're going to assist the Dark Ritual of course.

As my assistant, you'll carry Miss Exael to give this gentleman a rest, right?

[asonoficeandfire]

[raises an eyebrow, but. nodding]

... I can do that.

[liarliarliar]

Nice!

[asonoficeandfire]

...I don't think swearing loyalty to the cause is wise, though.

[liarliarliar]

True enough.

We do need to get Miss Exael away from him.

[asonoficeandfire]

[he could say he's already "sworn" to work for C, but hey that's probably not gonna help]

... we don't know what he's capable of.

[liarliarliar]

[bumps shoulders with Duality. lets follow this man to the tower]

We can wing it. I've a back up plan anyway...

[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.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Swear loyalty to the cause and I will allow you this task."

[asonoficeandfire]

The cause is to get rid of the producers?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"The cause of bringing for the Dark One who will do just that."

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Shadow mage is heading this way if you want to join.]

[asonoficeandfire]

[... he's following, for now]
