Nine-Nine Heart - Run 3

[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!]

TICKET GATE

[It's sweltering stepping down into the subway. The reason? That is sure a fire-y column of death once you step down the last step. Though part of the roof has collapsed leaving a path across one section of the flames.]

[ Oh fuck, some of us have fire trauma and are now frozen. ]

[Mistakes have been made.

She takes his hand]

Hey.

Re: TICKET GATE

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He holds her hand, looking right at her. ]

I'm--- Sorry, I can't, I'm--

Re: TICKET GATE

[searingedgelord]

Should we go another way?

[can they go another way]

Re: TICKET GATE

[motorcycle_noises]

[ She's probably going to have to drag him along whichever path they go because he's still frozen, holding her hand tightly. ]

Re: TICKET GATE

[searingedgelord]

[She squeezes his hand]

Tatsuya. We can do this.

Re: TICKET GATE

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He visibly swallows, and it takes him a moment before he nods at her. ]

O... okay.

[ He's still holding her hand though, squeezing back in acknowledgement. ]

Re: TICKET GATE

[searingedgelord]

[ok!! Time to move carefully toward the firey path. Still holding his hand tightly, pulling him along gently if she has to]

Re: TICKET GATE

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He'll move along, haltingly at first but he's following her. ]

[It burns but not physically. You feel your soul start to burn brightly and not in the good anime way. Anger seeps its way into you. It doesn't have a focus or a target, but it taints every thought as you are close to the fire.]

Re: TICKET GATE

[searingedgelord]

[Well


....this is a pretty familiar feeling for Silk, actually]

Re: TICKET GATE

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya's angry a lot more often than he cares to admit, honestly-- and though the fire may be tainting his thoughts, it's also making it easier for him to keep pressing forward. ]

Re: TICKET GATE

[searingedgelord]

[YEAH, let the anger fuel us through the fire. Sounds like a plan!! Charging forward running on anger fumes]

Re: TICKET GATE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[If you linger, well something happens.

If you don't, you go on your way.]

Re: TICKET GATE

[searingedgelord]

[.....]

Seriously?

[She maybe shouldn't be surprised, and yet]

Re: TICKET GATE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Wholesome fun for the entire family. :)]

Re: TICKET GATE

[searingedgelord]

[CAN THEY TURN BACK OR IS THE ONLY PATH FORWARD?]

Re: TICKET GATE

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[They can go to any of the earlier mentioned paths! No exit is blocked.]

Re: TICKET GATE

[searingedgelord]

[ok they are braving the fiery path]
