ROUND 3

[idolpro]

[ The room is BRIGHT YELLOW, as all the rooms you will enter are. Black tiles make up the floor, changing to your unit's color when pressure is placed on them. There is a button in the very center of the room standing on a podium; it's slightly smaller than palm-sized.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He stumbles back, but the words get him to laugh outright.

Oh, Intensity. ]

After this is over, you can have as many rounds as you like.

[Stalks over to him as if he hadn't just pushed him away.

And grabs him by the front to reel him back in]

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ King allows this, peering up at him impassively. Just waiting to see what particular impulse Intensity is following this time. ]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is this really what you want?

I'm not like the others. I don't need to be coddled.

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ....

One hand lifts to encircle his wrist. ]

I'm sure you already know the answer to that. Don't you?

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then know that every time you try to put yourself in a six foot hole in the ground, I'm going to come back to dig you right back out.

Don't. get. comfortable.

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ A small smile ]

I know.

But this time -- this time I want you to win.

[ To be safe. ]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ This. isn't. winning.

This is losing. Definitely 100% losing.

But a game is a game and terms are terms, so.

So:]

You're banned from any more stupid paladin antics for at least a month, you conniving little---

[And leans down to kiss him.

Roughly. There is no gentleness to this.]

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ A month is a long time, he might have said.

But he's more interested in yanking Intensity just a bit closer as he returns the kiss -- letting Intensity get his frustration out without trying to stop him at all. Fair enough. ]

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[When King is thoroughly kissed to Intensity's satisfaction, he pulls back.

His fingers untangling from the front of King's coat takes many more moments.

But eventually he also pulls back from that]

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He drops his hold on Intensity's wrist at some length, equally reluctant. He doesn't bother to move away, though. ]

I'll be fine.

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I wouldn't expect anything less of you. Nor will I let this opportunity go to waste.

Re: Intensity vs King

[puzzlekeeper]

Good.

Kick their asses for me.

Re: Intensity vs King

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Nods and turns to head out the now open door.

Well maybe now he understands a little better why King never looked back when he walked through the doors to the afterlife.

See you on the other side or something]
