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!]

It was. Don't tell me he was a friend.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, no way. He's kind of a dick.

...uh. What happened to your face, though?

[Touches his own face where the scars are on 99's.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[What did happen to his face? No one knows. Manga writer never told us.]

Got in a fight, but you should have seen the other guy.

[He laughs.]

Well, well, I'm glad you don't like him. Then there won't be any hurt feelings.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...man. That must've healed up quick.

Anyway, uh. How come you're still dragging this guy? Pretty sure he's dead already.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

He's a sacrifice needed to resurrect the Dark Lord. Doesn't need to be alive for that.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...uh. The Dark Lord?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He says his name, but it all comes out as IMEEJI GARBAGE.]

He can destroy the Producers and all that you hate about the system.

[crossmyheartandhope]

How come he's a Dark Lord, then?

No offense, dude, but you don't get titles like that just cause.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Because he's a real Demon. Not like these wannabe Demon Princes.

[crossmyheartandhope]

So what's he gonna do when he gets here?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Destroy the pathetic Producers and their Hierarchy, what else? It won't be a fairy tale ending, but we all can't get what we want, can we?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean. How dark are we talking, far as "not a fairy tail ending" goes?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

He's a demon. Swear loyalty and you'll probably be fine.

You in?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What about everyone else?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

They'll get a chance to choose a side.

[crossmyheartandhope]

And if they don't want a dark lord?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then they die. Welcome to reality.

Can't stomach it?

[crossmyheartandhope]

...uh. That reality kind of sucks.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then I suggest you find somewhere to live out the rest of your days in bliss and ignorance.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah?

And what're you gonna be doing in the meantime?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Trying to get into the tower. Perhaps the mage has thought of something new this time.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...okay. Well.

Catch you there, I guess.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"HA!"

[He leaves then.]

ALL THESE OPTIONS ARE STILL OPEN TO YOU + GAME TOWER

IF YOU WANT TO GET TO THE GAME TOWER
- OPTION B: Down one of the streets is a very tall, very lanky man wearing a mask that covers his entire face. He seems to have some sort of woman draped over one shoulder.
- OPTION C: Yeah. Yeah. That's a lot of ghosts. Everywhere. Hey, but it still is a path to the game tower.
- OPTION D: You are sure -- pretty sure -- the subway should get you there. You see the entrance. Beats dealing with those other people and things on the surface roads, right?

OTHER LOCATIONS
- Dorms
- Tokyo-F Bay
- Random Building with some human figure sitting on top of it
