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!]

What'd he do?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

An abyss. He jumped head first into it. Ah, but that allowed him to come straight to the gaming table. And play he did. Your continued living was largely due to his efforts though you all had a part in its success.

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah? He beat you at tabletop or something?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Correct, but I don't put all my pieces in one game. Some are meant to be lost.

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, so you sat some out?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Of course. What overlord puts all his pieces into play at once?

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

So you're saying you coulda won. You just didn't want to.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

No. Your small one beat me fair and square. But each battle, win or lose, is a step down the path to an ultimate goal. To not learn from failure is to repeat it.

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

So you're planning for your battle of wits against C again, huh?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

No, no, I doubt he and I will ever tangle again. But I am learning your strengths and weaknesses.

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah? Hit me. What you got?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Now why would I give that information out for free?

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

So trade me for it.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

What do you have to offer?

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

My take on your strengths and weaknesses. Duh.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Besides the fact I can't fully exist in the material world, I have no weaknesses. Only strengths.

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sounds fake.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

By your mortal standards, yes, I imagine it would. Perhaps for you wish you should ask to ascend to demonhood.

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pass.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I see you will go with Heaven's offer then.

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Who says I'm doing either?

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

That's right. You mortals are foolish.

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Says you. You're the dude who just did the whole "foolish mortals" line and didn't even go for the quote.

Re: FINALE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You'll have to enlighten me. Which quote is that?

Re: FINALE

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Handwave, handwave.]

Y'know, the one about foolish mortals.
