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!]

STARTER LOCATIONS

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[You wake up lying on your back in the park. The grass underneath you is definitely not soft. In fact when you touch the grass the blades turns to dust. However, that might not be the thing catching your attention first and foremost.

All around you are dark and shadowy humanoid blobs. They stumble about slow and lumbering not unlike zombies. They have noticed you and have taken a great deal of interest. They lumber towards you.

Hmmm. That sure is the Audience trying to eat you. In fact, if you bother to inspect closer that is the Audience version of you trying to snack on your arm. Mmmm. You look delicious.]

[MECHANICS: Roll a defense check.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[So ignore the intro, you don't see anything just yet. It's dark here with slabs of concrete laid precariously over your head. The light filters through just enough so you can see the purple haze outside but not much else. Wait? Is that the dorms next to you. Or what is left of the dorms as it might be missing a few of the uppermost floors.

The area is barely tall enough for you to stand and as far as you can see there are no obvious tunnels out. You are trapped inside.]

[MECHANICS: Roll an attack check.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[A group of adventures meet in a bar --- A faux bar at least! There isn’t any liquor or small snacks --- not even peanuts! --- as you wake up groggily draped on a bench seat. Any lingering headache should be gone quickly as you look around at your other companions. A few of the bar stools are toppled over, but everything else looks in good repair.

But before you shout, an eerie wheezing sound goes by the windows. You only get a glimpse of whispery appendages and black void eyes, but you are pretty sure whatever that was, it wasn’t human.]

[neigh_sayer]

[lifting his head up and rubbing his eyes, before briefly freezing at whatever the heck that was. HM. WELL.]


...............If there was a bar fight here I call dibs on saying I'm the winner.

[liarliarliar]

[B wakes up, groggy and tired. he stares at the grass that turns to dust

then he jerks his head up as Something approaches and. Nope. Nope nope nope. he passes his defense roll, bouncing to his feet and hopping backwards from the approaching horde, nimble and. very confused]

What the hell??

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Well, no one is going to argue if you do that, definitely! You hear wailing outside. It's quiet, but kind of like white noise. Really bad white noise.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[The Audience member with your face attempts a grab at your legs. You are able to step the side and it wobbles and falls down. Upon hitting the dirt, it turns to ash at your feet.]

POSSIBLE EXIT LOCATIONS AFTER YOU DEAL WITH FRIENDS

[rollwithdisadvantage]

IF YOU WANT TO GET TO THE GAME TOWER
- OPTION A: On the elevated highway you can see a man dressed in a bright red cloak on a horse. He appears to be dragging something behind him on a rope.
- 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

[liarliarliar]

................is this my depression

[neigh_sayer]

[NEATO]

I feel like I need to check on that, buuuuut. . .

[is there anything in the bar he can loot]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Of course!

There are bottles, empty and not empty, bar stools, tables, probably knives, some limes and lemons. No Winchester gun on the back of the wall though.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[POSSIBLY!

Also, now that you aren't dealing with short, dark, and shadowy you can look around at other places to go]

Re: POSSIBLE EXIT LOCATIONS AFTER YOU DEAL WITH FRIENDS

[liarliarliar]

Damnit.

[I WANNA TAKE THE SUBWAY LIKE A NORMAL FUCKING BOY. But there's a person?? in trouble maybe??

OPTION B as if I could help if things aren't legit. why am i like this]

TO THE GAME TOWER - OPTION B

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[A tall mage walks the streets with bright red hair and a masks that covers his face. Embedded in that mask is a golden eye etched with the symbol of Horus. You’ve probably never met this man before, but the person he has slung over his shoulder you certainly have.

It is Exael. Host of Tokyo-F. She doesn’t appear to be moving but from this distance you can’t tell if that is because she is merely unconscious or dead.]

Re: POSSIBLE EXIT LOCATIONS AFTER YOU DEAL WITH FRIENDS

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Here you go!]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Well. This looks bad.]

[Like. Real bad.]

...hey. Anyone here?

[Attack roll: 3 5 6, a miss.]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Oh, boy. That wasn't supposed to slide that way. You brace for impact, but it looks like everything is okay. Phew. The slabs of concrete look steady, but better not do that again.]

[Make another attack roll]

[neigh_sayer]

[NICE i feel like a baritones!!

gonna take a couple bottles, and some lemons AND limes, all full of sin, stuffing them in his pockets........and taking a knife too, just in case. No tables or chairs, can't shrink them like this, which he finds after attempting.]

Well I certainly feel safer now, after claiming my spoils! No one start any more fights, 'kay?

[who is he talking to. ANYWAY heading outside, who's making that quiet racket]

TO THE GAME TOWER - OPTION C

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[This path is littered in ghosts. Howling. Wailing. Ghosts. But not mindless, they seem to have a purpose. Step by step, drag by drag, they push and pull through magic and sheer hate a body bag. It thuds harshly and snags on rocks here and there, but step by step, they make slow progress towards the tower.]

[malignstar]

What the hell is going on?

[ So this seems concerning...

Attack roll: 1 1 5 so um really good success? ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Here ya go!]

[unbr8kable]

[wow guess who really really is not into small enclosed spaces ahahah kill me]

[attacking the darkness for 3+6/6 which is a big faileroony for atk of 7 so good times]

Re: TO THE GAME TOWER - OPTION B

[liarliarliar]

..................yo what you doing with Miss Exael?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Can he Improbable Stunt it up and try to make his way through without actually touching anything? Cause that seems like a way, way better idea.]
