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!]

Umm...

Shouldn't you be cheering?

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

Uh congrats on not making your ghost self kill us all?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Don't be dramatic. You wouldn't have died. I would at least have given you a choice. Ah, ah, but I'm being a sore loser.

[He snaps is fingers and a true doorway appears leading back outside.]

Explore to your hearts desire. I might have even been generous enough to remove the traps.

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

You are seriously the worst Dark Master. Also, nice play on DM there.

But I admit I do want to see the rest of the place. Chasing the yous around kinda got in the way of that.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I don't expect a mortal to appreciate my level of art. Though did the demon in your head enjoy it.

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

It's not like we're on speaking terms. And I still don't know whether it's a demon or not.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then perhaps you should try to speak with it. Perhaps it can help you.

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

And how the hell am I supposed to do that? People don't speak to their other personalities.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

There are many paths open to you. Dreamwalking. Magic spells.
Magic potions. Talking to your inner beings is a practice humans have been doing for years.

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

Not this human.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Would you like me to teach you?

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

I don't know. You seem like the less than stable part with the whole Dark Master dealio.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Just gives him an 'it's all kind of bullshit' look. Sorry, bro.]

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

What the hell, Nine?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Trust me. I feel the same way. But look, none of you are missing limbs so at least it wasn't deadly.

... Right?

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

Yeah, B and C did a good job of keeping everyone in one piece. So is this your inner darkness or whatever?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Inner demon I suppose. But I'm pretty sure you and I are different. You and yours seem distinct. All of this is definitely blended for me.

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

There are definitely a lot of yous.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I can't ... really help that.

[Huffs.]

Wow. This place really is a freaking circus.

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

Any recommendations on places I should check out before this wild ride ends?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Shrugs.]

I dunno. I've never been here. I mostly stay at the table.

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

Why the table?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Eternal war for my soul blah blah blah. Or something like that.

Re: FINALE

[malignstar]

Sounds really annoying.
