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!]

[you've got some anger issues, dude]

It looks so different.

Re: GAME TOWER

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Just a little.]

"Take care of the barrier!."

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

[are you asking me or just casting a spell]

Re: GAME TOWER

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He is asking as he is spell casting.

It is super ineffective.]

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

... I don't think it's going to work.

Re: GAME TOWER

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then break in.

[He points at the mirrors.]

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

[... eyes the mirror wall]

Are you telling me to punch it?

[I mean, he CAN, but]

Re: GAME TOWER

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"If that is what it takes."

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

[he puts a palm to the wall at first. how solid is this thing?]

Re: GAME TOWER

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Super solid. But let's say, three good whacks should do it.

When he touches it ....

You look at one of the glasses and see yourself, but then the image turns watery, distorting. This memory plays along its surface. You are overcome with a feeling of GOOD TIME WITH FRIENDS.]

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

Oh...

[so this is 99's mind? what the fuck is even going on in here...]

Re: GAME TOWER

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[DUN DUN DUN.

Also that guy in a red cloak that just showed up has Asmodeus on a noose being dragged by a horse if that interests you, too.]

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

[... welp, more hosts to the fire?

he turns back to the mirror, regarding it for a second before he pulls his arm back to punch it, THOUGH. HE HALTS HIMSELF AT THE LAST SECOND.

this doesn't feel right]

Re: GAME TOWER

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[PUNCH NOT SUCCESSFUL.]

[It's very shiny back at you!]

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

[he looks around for the mage and B again. where did they go?]

Re: GAME TOWER

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[The Mage is still muttering but eventually gets up and points to the mirror.]

ATTACK IT.

[B is gone. You thought you saw Nem for a second but now can definitely see up above a broken stain glass window.]

Re: GAME TOWER

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hoo crap, getting some info from Nemesis:]

Don't break it!

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

[he already stopped]

I'm not. It feels wrong.

Re: GAME TOWER

[crossmyheartandhope]

They're trying to summon some dark lord who's gonna kill everyone who won't take his side.

Nem says they got stuff set up for a blood sacrifice in there.

[And you know. There's bodies, so.]

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

I know they were trying to summon someone, to overthrow the producers.

[pauses]

Have you seen B? He was with me, but... I don't know if he went in by the window or not.

Re: GAME TOWER

[crossmyheartandhope]

That guy - [Points at the Thief King.] - says the dark lord's gonna overthrow the producers. Anyone who wants to swear to him'll probably be fine, but everyone else'll just be dead.

I haven't seen B at all.

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

I'm not surprised. None of this sound like a good idea.

He was right here... [... he did talk about planning to take Exael's place, so. :/]

Re: GAME TOWER

[crossmyheartandhope]

Maybe he got in.

Re: GAME TOWER

[asonoficeandfire]

Maybe.

Re: GAME TOWER

[crossmyheartandhope]

Only one way to find out, right?

[Besides, Nem's in there.]

[Time to flip up into the window like a badass.]
