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!]

"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.

"Swear loyalty to me and my cause and it will be done."

[liarliarliar]

Wow, why would I swear to you when there's a Dark Master, my guy? Are you trying to overtake him? Rude.

What's your name anyway? I'm B.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"I am the Shadow Mage."

"Then swear loyalty to the cause. For all is to serve him."

[liarliarliar]

Shadow Mage, you a bossy boy. Wow.

I swear no loyalty because there is no need. Surely there's no choice in the matter whether I am loyal or not because there's only one ending to this story.

I shall not struggle against the inevitable.

Perhaps that is the vow? Hn.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Then I have no need for you. BEGONE!"

[liarliarliar]

Shad that's mean.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Then prove your worth!"

"Come!"

[And he's making his way to the game tower if B follows.]

[liarliarliar]

[following along]

So we put these bodies on tables you said, Shad? Then what?

Are they magic tables? Do you do a spell?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Someone else will do the spell as long as we can get in."

[If you follow him]
