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!]

Heeey Duality! Sorry, I didn't get to level you up.

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

Get to what?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Yes, he did a very good job.

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

What even happened?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

A game within a game. Your dear C headed straight for the game one tier above and started playing gods and demons with myself. He helped you all out in many ways. Perhaps godhood is something he can obtain.

Ah, your second prize.

[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

[asonoficeandfire]

... a prize? To explore your mind?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

If you wish. The game will be over soon. Think of it as the epilogue if it suits your fancy.

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

... I barely did anything.

[besides apparently trying to punch good feelings in the face inadvertently]

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You charmed my Shadow Mage. He is a grumpy fellow. And you were able to get inside to this chamber.

Ah, but do you wish for more glory? I can provide it to you.

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

... no, thank you. I just wanted to help.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Another that wants to help. I do have some ideas if you want to listen. I don't think I can convince you to give me your graduation wish, but if you wouldn't mind convincing him to take more memories.

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

You mean you?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Who else would it be but him?

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

I don't know. So many things happened at once.

[...eyeing 99. you're... you, right?]

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Nine seems confused and tired but not injured in the slightest.]

Give me the short version. And tell me you didn't punch anything suspicious looking too hard. I think what you would consider out of place might be the norm for me.

[Is his Ka out, because if it is he's giving it a funny look.]

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

... I tried to destroy the mirror wall... but it didn't feel right. It's...

[well. it's got a crack in it. he. he looks slightly guilty. also yes his KA is definitely out]

It's still standing. [for now?]

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Yeah, I wouldn't go breaking that.

[Pointing at the wall.]

It'll be fine. It'll heal in time.

[Walking over and looking at the creature.]

You really like cats.

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

[he watches him]

It's really cute.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Poking it once in the nose. It does that scrunch face thing.]

Well, I'm glad you are entertained.

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

[... ... he'd take a picture of that if his phone worked]

With that, at least. I hope you'll be okay.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I'll be fine. I'm at least a few thousand years old. I doubt you guys could have broken too much.

[He hopes anyway.]

Re: FINALE

[asonoficeandfire]

You're what?
